About: I have been a dog owner for 6 years and have been helping with neighbors' pups as well. From potty breaks to belly rubs, I can help with your canine needs. I am available on weekdays after 6:30 PM or anytime on weekends! I have a dog and 2 cats at home. I walk my dog 3 times a day, your fur baby is always welcome to join us! If your dog is cat-friendly, I will happily host them at my home. Communication is very important to me, and I will send updates, pictures, or anything you need. I understand leaving your pet is difficult, but I will make them feel at home with love and care.

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.

Mateo did a fantastic job taking care of our cat Honeybun over the holiday weekend. We just moved to Houston and did not have any leads on pet sitters, so we booked Mateo and could not be happier. He sent plenty of photos and videos every day and went above and beyond where he could. When he visited us before we left, he told us that he would take care of Honeybun as if she was his own, and he did just that. Thank you, Mateo!

About: What sets me apart is my experience working in HR at a veterinary hospital and my love of all different types of animals. I am familiar with animal care environments and understand the importance of safety, proper handling, and recognizing an animal’s needs. I have had animals my entire life including dogs, fish, birds, frogs, and more, so caring for different species comes naturally to me. Whether it is puppies who need structure or senior pets who need patience and gentler care, I bring a calm, confident, and attentive approach to every animal I care for. My toy poodle Prissy, who is featured in my profile picture, will forever have my heart. She recently passed away from cancer, and losing her has been incredibly difficult. I am not ready to adopt another dog yet, but pet sitting allows me to stay connected to animals and continue giving them the love and attention they deserve. When a pet is in my care, my focus is entirely on them. I make sure they get meals, walks, playtime, and cuddles every day, while paying close attention to their habits and personality. Even on busy days, I keep things consistent so pets feel safe, relaxed, and happy. I care for pets in my home with love, attention, and a safe, comfortable environment. I stick to each pet’s routine, from meals and walks to playtime and special needs, while keeping a close eye on their behavior. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a chill adult dog, or a wise senior, I adapt my care to make every pet feel happy, secure, and truly loved. 🐶

Bailee was so sweet and great with our dog. We also have a cat in the home and though we did not book her for help with the cat, she was so kind and patient with our cat and sent photos of both of them to make us feel great while we were away. She handled changes well and I am so thankful for her professionalism. Thank you again, Bailee.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always loved being around them.

I WFH and am flexible, dependable, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets, and I’ll make sure they’re safe, happy, and get plenty of love (plus lots of photo updates I have a flexible schedule and love incorporating walks and time with dogs into my routine. I’m available for weekday walks, drop-ins, and weekend pet sitting. I enjoy staying active and making sure every pup gets plenty of attention and belly-rubs.

Sama was fantastic at caring for our cat while we were on a trip. In addition to being super reliable with regular caretaking tasks, she was able to make our cat comfortable by adjusting to his needs and behaviors. Our cat is usually wary and slow to adjusting to new people, but during the trip was able to engage in active play and express normal personality traits due to the level of comfort. We recommend Sama!

Avery is super sweet, punctual, polite and outgoing. My dogs took to her immediately. 😄 She's excellent with communication and keeping in contact before, during and after visits. She even sent me a pic of my fur babies running around the backyard having a good time! I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again in the future. Thank you so much for caring for my pups!❤️

I cannot begin to express my gratitude to Juliana for taking care of my fur babies while I was away. I’ve never used Rover before and was extremely nervous about leaving my babies. I met up with Julianna at the last minute and she met my babies. They instantly fell in love with her and I felt at ease. Juliana updated me daily on my boys and how there were doing and was super communicative and treated them Like her own. I would recommend her over and over again. If ever I have to travel, Juliana will be my first option to take care of my fur babies.

I will absolutely be calling her next time I require a sitter. Thanks so so much Chloe!!!

Sama was an amazing pet sitter for Marie and Winston! She was so attentive, played with them, fed them on time, and did a great job keeping them on their normal routine. What impressed me most was how comfortable my girl kitty became with her. She is usually very shy, but she really opened up to Sama, which says a lot about how gentle and caring she is. I really appreciated having someone I could trust with my babies and felt so reassured knowing they were in good hands. I would absolutely recommend Sama to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and caring pet sitter! 🐾❤️
