“Darius was a god sent. I was visiting Houston from Dallas with my husband and puppy. I stayed at a dog friendly hotel but even going for breakfast made my puppy very anxious alone in the room we decided to use over for the first time and I urgently contacted Darius. He was very prompt to respond and accommodated everything. He was very vigilant for for example I feed my dog fresh food, which I forgot to tell him, but he had already put the food in the fridge. He has a very sweet and loving puppy, and I could visibly see mylo happy. If I ever returned to Houston, Darius is my guy. Milo has never been around strangers, but he was extremely comfortable with Darius. He also sent updates every so often and was prompted to answer anything I asked. I don’t think twice.”

“Tressa was great to work with. I was in town on business and brought my pooch with me. Tressa was extremely responsive with the booking process and throughout my dog’s stay. He enjoyed himself every day and could tell he was well looked after. Thank you”

About: Hi! I’m Leigh, and I grew up in a very pet oriented home, which helped nourish my affection for all different kinds of animals. I have a 4 year old miniature poodle who is just as excited to spend time with your pet! Please note minimum THREE days are required for booking services. Can accommodate special needs and other requests, just ask. Thanks! I work from home! So there’s always lots of attention and affection given to your pet throughout the day. When absent from home, I always want animals to feel comfortable so I don’t typically crate unless otherwise specified. Boarding pickup and drop off hours are designated between 7am -11pm weekdays and 7am-12am on Fri/Sat. If your hours are outside of this, it is considered a special accommodation and will require an additional fee. Please inquire, thanks! My home is warm and playful. I want all pets to have a safe and happy transition while their owner is away. Since I understand it can be tough to leave your loved one, I do provide daily updates upon request. It’s my goal to not only ensure your animal is well cared for, but also that you have security in choosing me as a provider. As some bookings may overlap, please be advised your pet may be boarded with other (small/medium sized) dogs, and all temperaments are evaluated for safety. Always let me know what I can do to make your experience better!
“Not being from in town, trying to find someone I could rely on and trust worthy was stressful. Tommie and Jeffrey took exceptional care of my dog while easing my own stress and anxiety. My dog came back to me exhausted from all the fun she had. They updated by throughout the day with pictures. From the pictures, she looked like she was having the time of her life!”

“Kiloh loves Jen and when we we pull up at Jens house he is excited and can’t wait to go inside Jen treats Kiloh like her own dog and I would highly recommend to look after your dog either with day care or boarding”

“Wow I cannot say enough good things about Cassandra. She took such amazing care of my dog Teddy. I felt so comfortable knowing he was being so well taken care of. I got so many pictures and videos throughout the day. I could tell how happy he was being in her care. She took him on multiple walks and to the dog park several times. He got lots of treats as well. When he got home he went straight to bed after having a wonderful day!”

“Special thanks to Jocelyn for going the extra mile when I couldn’t pick up Benedict on time. Not only was she gracious about my being late, but made me feel I had not inconvenienced her at all! So appreciated!!”

“Maria (and Penny too!) took such great care of Flynn! We got lots of photos and videos, it was so clear that Flynn was having fun all day. I would definitely recommend Maria!”

“Lauren has a warm and friendly personality, responds quickly, sent pictures throughout the day, and took great care of my dog Frannie! Loved having her as a pet sitter. Frannie always seemed to be in a good mood when I picked her up! Plus her dog, Prince, got along very well with Frannie :)”

“Steven took great care of my Mulder and was extremely flexible with my work schedule! It's hard to find daycare working in the medical field. Not many people are okay with being up at 5:30am unless they have to, but no complaints from Steven! Thank you!”


“Filipa is amazing with Tabasco. I’ve had her take him walking, she’s pick him up and brought him home for day care stays. I always get loads of pictures and updates too. She is very safety conscious and cares so well for my baby when he is in her care. I just can’t think of anyone better equipped and prepared.”

About: Having grown up in a household filled with various pets, thanks to my dad being a veterinarian, I’ve gained extensive experience caring for dogs through many stages of life, including adult and senior dogs. After caring for our beloved dog for 12 years, we’ve developed a deep understanding of senior dogs and are committed to providing the attention and comfort they deserve. We have two dogs at home, Penny (6 y/o) and Freddie (2 y/o). Our home environment is great for both energetic pups and more relaxed dogs, and we tailor our care to each dog’s individual needs. We maintain a structured routine that ensures all dogs are well cared for, comfortable, and safe. While we do step out during the day or on weekends for several hours at a time, we’re best suited for dogs who are comfortable being home alone for a few hours, are potty trained, and have an established routine. When we are home, your pet will receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. We focus on creating a calm, loving, and secure environment so every dog feels at ease during their stay. Your pet will receive not just care, but genuine affection and thoughtful attention, making their stay with us a positive and comfortable experience. I work from home full time and am available to pet sit on weekends as well. I can provide plenty of potty breaks and play time in the backyard as well as daily walks. I have a fully fenced yard and my 2 dogs are dog-friendly. My dogs and yours will always be supervised at all times while out in the backyard for safety.
“Delilah was amazing, very good with our fur baby, very experienced. But most important very tolerating and understanding with our little Tornado Raadi. Followed our instructions exactly and kept us updated as needed and or requested. Would highly recommend her.”

“Our first time with Rover and Kimberly was excellent with our dog, Milo. We left Milo there for 2 days back to back and he was happy to be there! Definitely recommend Kimberly for others”

About: I grew up on a farm in Indiana and we were known as a place folks could dump big dogs. At one point we had 5 adult St Bernards - so I do love big dogs. However, even though I’m on the first floor, there are stairs and elevators to get to the outside. If you big dog struggles with stairs this might not be the happiest place for them. Overall, I have been around dogs are all sizes all my life. My only request is that they like cats as I have 3 boys who are not brave. I’m a healthcare analyst who works 99% of the time remote. My complex as a lovely dog park and I live in a highly walkable part of Midtown/Montrose. I’m in a complex with a lovely dog park and will require the use of a leash when the dog isn’t in my home or in a fenced dog park.
About: I have a passion for animals! I've been taking care of dogs all my life and I used to work at a boarding facility on and off for 10 years. I was in the army for 4 years and now currently working on my degree to become a surgical technologist. I am very trustworthy and responsible and would do anything to provide near perfect care for your pet! I can give any type of medicine and will be willing to work with any breed of dog I will be passionate and loving no matter what! I can do daycare, drop in visits, long walks, and boarding! I also offer a service that most people don’t, if your pup loves car rides I provide the option of taking them to a local park for their walk/ visit. Please feel free to message with any questions. I am in college working on my surgical technologist degree, but most of my days are flexible for whatever care you need and willing to work with you to make sure your fur baby is well taken care of. I have two pups at home so a crate is a must in my home to keep everyone safe and happy! They will be walked every 4 hours with once a day a big extensive exercise which could include a long walk or the dog park in my complex!
“Can't imagine a better first experience on Rover. Lydia was patient and friendly. My dog had plenty of room to play and seemed to have a lot of fun. Lydia sent pictures and kept me up to date on all the things my dog was enjoying.”

Lauren has a warm and friendly personality, responds quickly, sent pictures throughout the day, and took great care of my dog Frannie! Loved having her as a pet sitter. Frannie always seemed to be in a good mood when I picked her up! Plus her dog, Prince, got along very well with Frannie :)

Cassandra is amazing! Our dog immediately went with her and seemed to have an incredible time! He came home tired and happy after she took him out on many adventures. We really enjoyed the fun photos she sent of him. She's friendly to people and dogs - perfect situation!

Piper met them literally less than 24 hours ago and she spent the day with them and fell completely in love! They took amazing care of her, pictures, videos, all the things. I’m so happy to have met Tommie & Jeff and Piper will be back for sure! Oh also their dogs are so cute and friendly plus their house is super clean. They literally check all the boxes!

Mykah was amazing! She took care of our baby Benito for the whole day, and he was so happy and calm when we picked him up. We had to book a last-minute stay since we’re not from H-Town and had to bring Benito with us, and Mykah responded incredibly quickly. Communication was excellent the entire time. She kept us updated on how Benito was doing and sent pictures and videos of him playing and snoozing, which we really appreciated. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend!

Erica said our pup had been playing all day with her dogs and was going to be wiped out when she got home, and she was absolutely right! She had a great time and passed out 2 hours after getting home. Exactly what I wanted from doggy day care. Plus Erica was super responsive and helpful.

Michelle is so sweet! My dog is quite timid with new people and she warmed up to her easily. I appreciate the updates and pictures as I was also nervous leaving Penny with a stranger for the first time. I wish I lived closer because I would love to book Michelle again...
