About: I’ve been caring for friends’ dogs both seniors and puppies for over 10 years. During that time, I’ve provided everything from basic training and playtime to gentle support for older dogs. I also have a dog of my own, so I understand the importance of routine, patience, and giving each pup the love and attention they deserve. To better support dogs with special needs, I completed a class on walking anxious and reactive dogs. It taught me how to handle tough situations calmly and build trust using positive reinforcement. Every dog in my care is treated like family—with safety, comfort, and happiness as top priorities. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home throughout the day, which means the dogs I care for are never left alone. I have the flexibility to give each dog plenty of attention, regular walks, playtime, and companionship. Pet care is part of my everyday life—I have my own dog, and I love welcoming new furry friends into my routine. I also have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and enjoy fresh air throughout the day. Whether your dog needs lots of activity or a calm, cozy space to relax, I’m here to provide personalized, reliable care in a loving home environment.
“So grateful that I had Star as a sitter! Great communication, plenty of updates and pics. Her pup and mine got along famously, which really sealed the deal for putting Star on my roster of repeat sitters.”
About: I raised my Rhodesian ridgeback from puppy to adulthood and now am looking to use my free time to help other busy dog owners. Now she lives with my dad when I moved to Houston. My friends all have dogs and I often dog sit for them when they travel. We have several local dog parks that we frequently use. I love running, going for walks, and playing with dogs. I am available weekday afternoons and nights and would love to take your dog for a walk and show them some undivided attention while you may be away. I like to assert myself as the leader, but will always treat the dog with love and care. I'm a dog lover looking to lend a hand. I typically work in the mornings and then have the entire afternoon to devote to taking care of your pet with a walk and quality time. I have a big backyard for your dog to enjoy and get outside easy and often. It’s a quiet area but close to several large parks.
About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my genuine love for animals, coupled with my reliability and attention to detail. I prioritize the well-being and happiness of the pets under my care, ensuring they receive the attention, exercise, and affection they need. Additionally, I have experience handling a variety of breeds and temperaments, and I'm committed to maintaining open communication with pet owners to provide peace of mind while they're away. My Job is extremely flexible, as long as I know a head of time then I will be able to fit it into my schedule. My dogs are very friendly and social. However, if your dog does not like that then I am able to separate dogs. There is also a designated area for dogs to walk in my area.
About: A lifelong devotee of our four-legged friends, having shared my home with everyone from a majestic Chow Chow-Husky mix, a dignified Pekinese, to a spirited Dachshund. While Boxers hold a special place in my heart, my affection knows no bounds when it comes to breeds; I believe every dog has its unique charm. It's no surprise that my friend's pets often find themselves comfortably at my side, feeling the warmth of my genuine love for all canines. Though I don't hold professional training certifications, my life has been a rich tapestry of hands-on experiences with dogs of all temperaments. I am deeply committed to respecting the routines and training regimes established by their owners, rewarding good behavior to foster a well-balanced, happy dog. My approach to care is simple yet profound: I follow your lead, ensuring your dog's needs are met with patience, understanding, and lots of love. Special care needs? Consider them covered following all instructions, medication schedules, and appts necessary. My dog, Chico, a resilient soul I rescued as a newborn, has been my loyal companion for nearly 15 years. Despite his age, he exudes the playful spirit of a puppy I work from home and run errands a few times a week for less than a couple of hours. However, if a service is scheduled that requires my full attention, I will be sure to accommodate the pup's needs first. Caring for pets in any setting is centered on their safety, comfort, and happiness. I start with a thorough meet-and-greet to understand their needs and routines. In both my home and a client's, I ensure a safe, familiar environment, sticking to established routines to minimize stress. I meticulously manage feeding, exercise, and medication, providing regular updates to owners. Exercise, play, and companionship are key; I tailor activities to each pet's energy level and ensure they receive plenty of affection. Observant of their health and behavior, I'm prepared for emergencies, respecting the owner's home and maintaining cleanliness. My approach combines love, attentiveness, and ongoing education in pet care best practices, ensuring pets are well-cared for, happy, and thriving. I walk to local parks with my pup Chico who is a deaf/mute 14 lbs dachshund. I have an area by my home that is grassy and planted with large trees for extra shade when needed.

Jennifer was amazing! She communicated with me the entire time and sent plenty of pictures, which made me feel safe and confident leaving Boba in her care. He seemed so happy and comfortable with her. I’ll definitely be rebooking with her and recommending her to all my friends and family!
Excellent ! I run a mobile grooming buisness and I usually bring my pup with me. However, this day was cat day so I had to look for someone to host my 5 year old pitbull at momemts notice. I'm so happy Misty was able to host Ace. He did well with the others pups she was hosting. She sent me photos and keep me updated on how he was doing. 10 out of 10 I would recommend! I know pup can be a handful since he's a nervous pup.
Es mi primera vez dejando Aby con una cuidadora. Quise tratar primero una visita dejándola por un día para que Aby y Koryn se conocieran y después hacer una reservación más extensa. Nos gustó mucho la forma de Koryn, durante el día le envíe algunos mensajes y sus respuestas fueron inmediatas. Aby se quedó con ella como si la conociera de toda la vida. Otra de las cosas que me gustó es que habla español. En unos días mi familia y yo nos vamos de vacaciones y nos iremos confiados de que Aby estará en buenas manos.
Outstanding service! I needed a last-minute backup sitter when our regular sitter wasn't available. Karen responded -and continued to respond throughout our interaction- immediately and thoughtfully. She asked excellent questions at our "meet-n-greet" and our pup immediately warmed to her and her well-kept home. I wasn't able to tell her exactly when I would be back to pick up due to lack of cell service but she took it in stride and replied "No problem" when I was finally able to communicate. Karen is new to this site and I'm confident she will be racking up 5-star reviews in no time. I will definitely use her again and tell my friends.
Pablo was outstanding. He was responsive and accommodating. He updated me with pictures and videos and made me feel comfortable knowing Stark would be in good hands. His pup Blue is the sweetest. I’m happy that Stark has new friends. Will definitely be using Pablo in the future!
Kyla did so well with Nebula! She was very caring, kind, and attentive. She made sure to give updates all throughout her stay and is very accommodating when it comes to caring for your fur babies♥️ I cannot thank her and recommend her enough! Thank you so much again Kyla!
Stacy was great with communication and my Chloe had a wonderful time demanding and getting all of Stacy’s attention - lol. Will definitely feel comfortable having her care for Chloe again. I needed help on short notice and Stacy was quick to respond and enthusiastic to help.
