Brittaney was professional and had a calm and friendly demeanor towards Tidus and my dog felt comfortable with her as soon as he met her. She was accomodating of my requests and she also always came on time. It was a pleasure using her service and I will definitely book her again. Thanks a lot for taking care of Tidus, Brittaney!

About: I’ve been a dedicated dog lover for over 27 years, starting with my first pup, Mystic, a Chow Mix/German Shepherd. Since then, I’ve raised and cared for multiple dogs, including Paco (Husky mix), Kiko, Lisha, Marley, and their mom, Sasha. From playful puppies to loving seniors, I’ve experienced it all and know how to handle a variety of needs with care and patience. Dogs bring so much joy, and I can’t wait to give yours the same love and attention! I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which means plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. My dog, Cloud, keeps me on an early-riser schedule, and I always have an eye on the pups in my care. During the week I'm mostly a homebody, and on weekends I enjoy walks at Buffalo Bayou Park. My centrally located Houston apartment is a great option for both local pet parents and visitors needing reliable care for their dogs. 🐾 Please note: For weekday drop-in visits/walks, I am only available before 10am and after 7pm. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. My apartment is dog-proofed and designed with pets in mind, featuring plenty of open space, dog beds, toys, enrichment puzzles, and separate areas that can be created with baby gates if needed. I have access to a fenced dog park within my community, a courtyard for quick potty breaks, and Buffalo Bayou Park nearby for walks. For added peace of mind, the nearest emergency veterinary hospital is less than half a mile away, and I am familiar with the canine Heimlich maneuver. I strive to maintain your dog's normal routine, so I encourage pet parents to share feeding schedules, treat limits, and any special care instructions to ensure a seamless, stress-free stay.

I needed temporary help taking 3 dogs on morning walks, especially early since one of them was a senior dog! Luckily, I found Christina! Her price was affordable and service was excellent! She was reliable, always punctual and even aaccommodated to my slight change of time for the senior dog. Don't hesitate to book her to take care of your fur baby! Thank you Christina! I couldn't have made it through those 3 weeks without your help!

About: 🏡I live house with a fenced front yard in EaDo. 🫶🏼I’ve been a dog mom my entire adult life 16+yrs 🐾I have (3) babies of my own: Gia and Grizzly - littermates, and Blondie. 👱🏻‍♀️🐱 I’m roommates w my cousin Jackeline and her cat Stormy, so yes... cats are welcome here too! ◡̈ 🩵I'm an active foster for Heart of the Underdog, a Houston-based, no-kill rescue. I occasionally volunteer at the Houston Humane Society, and throughout college I spent weekends walking dogs for Friends for Life. Caring for animals has been a constant thread throughout my adult life, not an occasional thing. ☺️I'm the happiest version of myself when I'm surrounded by animals and helping them have a better quality of life. This isn't just a side gig for me, it's genuinely my happy place. 🏡🫶🏼🐾 I'm at home throughout the week and most weekends. Im a homebody which allows me to give real time and attention, (not just check-ins), to all the pets in my care. 🛋️ My own dogs free-roam at home, and yours can to, as needed and with safety in mind. 🐕‍🦺🐕🐩 Through my years of fostering, I’ve become experienced at managing a multi-dog household safely, including around food and toy guarding situations. I've worked with reactive dogs, puppies, and pregnant mamas...and I've even delivered a litter of puppies in my home. I've also done hands-on training and confidence-building work with fosters who needed extra patience and support. I'm very tuned in to dog body language and behavior. I pay attention to what a dog is telling me, and I adjust my approach based on what they actually need. My own pups range from 60–90 lbs, so small and large breeds are welcome here.

About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life, but my cat Mabel has been my priority for the past four years. I love all cats and dogs, no matter the size or breed, and I can ensure that your furry friend will be in a well cared after environment. I am currently working only a few short hours during the week so I have plenty of time to hang out with your best friend. I would be available both morning and nights to make sure that they’re able to go outside and play. I treat all animals with kindness and respect. My cat Mabel lives in a very clean well taking care of household. I also live about two minutes away from a park where I can take dogs to run around and play.

About: I have 15 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As a full-time veterinary technician, I work with pets every day and have experience recognizing signs of illness, administering medications, and helping animals feel safe and comfortable. I'm comfortable caring for: • Puppies and kittens • Senior pets • Large and small breeds • Anxious or shy pets • High-energy dogs • Pets with medical conditions • Pets recovering from hospitalization and surgery (following veterinarian instructions) Whether we're going for a walk, playing, sticking to a medication schedule, or simply spending time together, I make sure every pet receives individualized care and plenty of love. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. My ultimate goal is to attend veterinary school, so getting exposure to helping owners is one of my biggest passions. I treat every pet like they're family while giving you peace of mind that they're in knowledgeable, caring hands. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I work as a veterinary technician and genuinely enjoy spending my free time with animals. I'm available after work on weekdays and have greater flexibility on my days off for walks and drop-in visits. I make it a priority to provide reliable, attentive care that keeps pets comfortable and maintains their usual routine. When caring for pets in their own home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications, and any special care their pet may need. I'm comfortable recognizing changes in a pet's behavior or health and can provide medication administration if needed according to your veterinarian's instructions. I always prioritize your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being while respecting your home and keeping everything clean and tidy! During each visit, I'll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and enrichment based on their personality and energy level. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to build trust with both pets and their owners through reliable, compassionate care.

About: I have cared for and built connections with a variety of dogs throughout my life, whether through the dogs I grew up with or while volunteering at animal shelters. I was also involved with Guide Dogs for the Blind, where I assisted in training and caring for dogs that would support individuals who are blind or disabled. As an active individual, I enjoy going on walks or runs with furry friends while ensuring they remain safe, comfortable, and hydrated along the way. ••• I am also comfortable administering medications and providing attentive care tailored to your pet’s individual needs. ••• Above all, creating meaningful pawships and providing a loving, dependable environment for your furry friend would truly bring me joy. I do work in medicine (Certified Pharmacy Technician) while being an engineering student full-time. However, I can always accommodate by communicating a schedule that is beneficial for you & your furry friend! I will gladly send you updates with pictures and or videos regarding your furry friend. Being communicative is significant to ensure the safety, trust & surrounding environment for your pet!
