“Kylie did a wonderful job dropping in on our cats during our week long trip! We met beforehand and she made sure we were comfortable. She really paid careful attention to detail—disposed all litter and food cans so I didn’t come home to a stinky mess. Swept up scattered litter, and even took care of the trash bins. Over the years we’ve had friends and family members, and sometimes paid neighbor kids to watch our cats while we’re gone. This is by far the best experience for all! Thank you so so much!! We will definitely be booking other visits with you in the future.”
“Jadyn was great with Roxie and Daisy. She arrived a few minutes early (to me; on time is late) and had time for a quick chat before my husband and I needed to leave. We came home to calm pets. They hardly knew we left.”
“As an ER veterinary technician and and Rover pets that are myself, my standards and expectations for the pet sitter of my own pets is high. Not only did Kristin meet those standards,, succeeded them. I got plenty of pictures, updates and communication fromher all throughout the week. Needless to say we will be using Christine again.”
“Melissa definitely does this job for her love of animals and not for the need of money. My kitty was well cared for and I appreciate that Melissa is home most of the day to be around. My cat usually gets mad at me for a couple days when I leave her, but this time she was only mad for like an hour or two so I think she was given ample attention. Would highly recommend Melissa to anyone!”
“Alissa and her family are literal life savers! Had to board my kitties right away and she made us feel so comfortable! I will not be using anyone else if I need boarding in the future! Thank you so much 🤍🤍🤍”
“Nice family! Their dog and cat got along with my cat, and their little girls were very excited to play with my cat. I think this house would be a good choice for your dog. 5 stars”
About: I’ve been around dogs all my life. We grew up on a farm with 3 dogs and loved them to death. We love all dogs, all sizes. We own 2.5 acres where dogs can run and play and have an extra large utility room for grooming. Our family includes my wife and myself, our three kids and Scout, our furry baby rescue from Houston. She loves to play in the water and run with friends. I work from home so I get lots of time to play ball, walk, run and care for your furry loved one. I most enjoy throwing tennis balls and watching the dogs play chase. We have spent more money than we would like to admit, in order to best care for pups in our care. We have a 1200 sq/ft dog house with A/C, water, toys, large play area and kennels of various sizes. We are committed to providing commercial equipment to put safety as a top priority, while still offering the quality of care provided through residential boarding. We look forward to meeting dogs of all sizes and breeds. Hope our doggy retreat is as fun for your dog as it will be for us.
About: Tailored care for every dog's needs. Expertise in senior dog care ensures enriching walks. Patience, personalized attention, and gentle routines guarantee a stress-free experience for your furry friend. Currently trying to start working a part-time job at Petsmart so I will have plenty of time to play with your pup. available on weekends and after 3pm for care While caring for your beloved pet, I prioritize maintaining the security and cleanliness of your home.

About: I have over seven years of hands on experience caring for dogs. Over the years, I’ve also had the pleasure of pet sitting puppies as young as six weeks old up to one year. Currently, I have two dogs of my own—a five-month-old German Shepherd named Diesel and a one-year-and-five-month-old Chow Chow named Grizzley. I live in a private neighborhood with a large fenced backyard and a nearby park that’s perfect for walks and exercise. With my active lifestyle, flexible part-time work schedule, and passion for pet training, I can offer your furry friend plenty of time, care, and attention in a safe, spacious, and loving environment. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine since I only work four hours a day, leaving me plenty of time to walk, play with, and train my dogs. With a large fenced backyard, a nearby park, and an active lifestyle, I easily incorporate exercise, enrichment, and quality time into every day. In my home, I follow a consistent, structured routine that keeps my dogs happy, healthy, and well-behaved. They’re on a strict schedule centered around crate training—waking up between 8–9 AM, going potty, eating meals three times a day, getting regular potty breaks, rest periods to prevent bloat or stomach issues, playtime, and bedtime by 11 PM. I also incorporate 20-minute walks into their day depending on the weather, ensuring they get both physical and mental stimulation. I apply this same level of care, structure, and attention to detail when caring for pets in a client’s home, always tailoring routines to fit the pet’s specific needs.
About: I have had a variety of pets myself some high maintenance and some low maintenance so I’m very aware of certain daily things some pets may need. I have dog sat for family friends before as well and have never had issues. I love to play with the animals and truly connect with them and become their friend. I am currently a senior college student at Sam Houston state university so I have some extra time on my hands. I am available during the weekdays everyday from 3pm-10pm but I can also do any time on Tuesdays and Friday’s. Sundays I can be available if necessary as well. I care for pets as if they are children because for most people they are like a child. My personal cats are fed twice a day and played with whenever they want and brushed almost everyday. I would do anything the client would like me to do. I can walk your dog, I can feed your pets, play with the your pets, I can give them a bath, I can give furry friends their medicine if necessary(my personal dog takes a daily pill and ear wipes). I will do whatever makes your pet and you happy.

About: I’ve taken care of animals for family friends and neighbors since I was 12. It’s been everything from horses to cats. They have all relied and trusted me to take care of their babies. I work a Monday- Friday job that’s 8-5 so I’ll have plenty of time to walk or feed your babies in the morning and evenings.

I trust her 100% in my home as well with my babies(dogs). She would be the perfect candidate for any job. As a dog sitter you wouldn’t go wrong having Elizabeth around, she is absolutely amazing.”

She is loving and takes care of everything from walks to snuggles. Definitely our favorite dog sitter!”

“I can always count on Megan to take care of my fur babies when I go out of town or I just don’t make it home when I thought I would. She’s gone and let them inside when an unexpected storm popped up and I was worried about them, let them out of their cages when my husband left for work and had forgotten to, and always treats them as if they were her own.”
