Pet Sitting Downtown

“We loved having Brittany come and watch our kitties! Brittany was great with communication and gave us updates with cute pictures. We would not hesitate to book her again in the future!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and spent 6 summers working as a competitive dog trainer, where I had the opportunity to work with dogs of all different personalities, breeds, and energy levels. That experience taught me how to read dogs, understand their individual needs, and build trust with them through patience, consistency, and plenty of positive reinforcement. I grew up with dogs in my family and have always loved how naturally friendly, loving, and fun they are to be around. Now that I live in Houston away from my friends, family, and the dogs I grew up with, Rover feels like the perfect way to bring dogs back into my life while giving owners peace of mind that their pets are in experienced, caring hands. Whether your dog wants a long walk, some playtime, lots of cuddles, or simply a comfortable companion while you’re away, I’d love to spend time with them! I work full-time in Houston, so I’m typically available for dog sitting, walks, and drop-ins during evenings and on weekends. My schedule can vary a bit depending on work, but I’m happy to plan ahead and coordinate around your dog’s routine. I’m especially interested in weekend stays and sitting opportunities, but I also have flexibility for evening walks and drop-ins when I’m in town. I travel occasionally, so I keep my availability calendar updated and will always communicate my schedule clearly in advance. I’m looking forward to filling my free time with some four-legged friends! Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My years of competitive dog training taught me how to read body language, recognize when a dog is uncomfortable or overstimulated, and adjust my approach to each dog’s personality and needs. I’ll follow your instructions closely, from feeding and medication routines to walks, house rules, and anything else that helps your dog feel at home. I also understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home, so I’ll communicate consistently, provide updates while you’re away, and treat your space with the same care and respect I would my own. Most importantly, I want your dog to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away and for you to have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.

“Kalin did a great job communicating and letting us know how our kitties were doing. She sent picture's and little notes about her visit. Very easy to work with and would easily have her check on our fur babies again in the future.”

Kara M.

“Ynes did great with my cat Sage, it was the first time that Sage did not act up or get sick while we were gone, so Ynes must have really had some great skills! She kindly brought a delivered package inside the house and kept me updated with pictures. I would totally recommend her.”

“Julia is simply lovely! It’s clear that she loves dogs which was definitely noticed by both my pups. She also communicates very well which I appreciate! Highly recommend.”

“Juliana was absolutely incredible! From the start, she put me completely at ease, and I felt 100% confident leaving my pup in her care. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter and feel so lucky to have found her. I will definitely be booking with her again!”

Anna C.

“Mateo was wonderful! I scheduled for him to meet our dog prior to the first visit and it was a smooth transition. Mateo was attentive and asked important questions. When Mateo came to check on our dog, he was very communicative and provide photos. We look forward to booking Mateo soon again.”

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. 🐶

“Sama was incredibly kind and attentive to my cats. She was also very flexible with my changing schedule and made sure that the cats got the care they needed. She sent me many pictures and videos to keep me updated and help me miss my babies less! I would trust her to watch them again in a heartbeat.”

“Trinity is awesome!! She took great care of my two antisocial pups. She was patient and allowed my dogs to warm up to her. I came back to a clean home and happy dogs! ? Would definitely rebook!”

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.

“Kris is an amazing pet sitter and always takes great care of our cat! She even goes above and beyond to feed our stray outdoor kitty which is so greatly appreciated. She’s truly the best and I would highly recommend her to everyone!”

About: Patient, attentive pet lover who always takes time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and boundaries while providing reliable, loving care and plenty of updates. My schedule is flexible, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to pet care throughout the week. I’m happy to work around your pet’s established routine and do my best to keep their days feeling familiar and consistent while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I follow your care instructions closely, respect your home and your pet’s normal routine, and pay attention to their individual behaviors and boundaries. I believe trust is earned, especially with more cautious pets, so I’m happy to let them warm up to me at their own pace. You can also expect regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.

“This was my first time ever using a pet sitter and also my first time leaving my cat alone for more than a day, so I was honestly a little nervous going into this. Jacquelyn made the entire process incredibly smooth from start to finish. I had a last minute situation and needed someone quickly, and she was very responsive and easy to communicate with right away. She followed all of the instructions carefully, and I really appreciated the daily updates and photos, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. When I got back home, everything was exactly as it should be. The litter box was clean, food and water were taken care of, and most importantly, my cat was calm, happy, and clearly well cared for (I think my cat actually prefers Jacquelyn to me now. 🤣😅). You can tell she takes this seriously and treats your pet with care and attention. Overall, I had a great experience and would absolutely recommend Jacquelyn to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter. I would definitely book with her again.”

About: Hi there! I’m a big animal lover and active volunteer at my local animal shelter and routinely foster dogs in need. I have experience providing medication to dogs of all sizes and modifying schedules based on each dog’s needs. I’ve owned dogs ranging anywhere from 10 pounds to 70 pounds, and am confident that I can provide the support your dog needs. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby! I’m currently working part time, meaning I have plenty of time to adjust to varying schedules and last minute requests! I also live in a central part of Houston, making my commute quick and accessible to most places. If I am house sitting or providing a drop in service to your home, I ensure that no interactions are made with other dogs or animals outside the home, as I want to ensure the safety of your pets first and foremost! I also make sure to read your dog’s body language, and remove them from any situations that may be causing them distress (neighborhood dogs they do not like, loud sounds that startle them, etc).
