“We have used Darius twice with our dog Lyanna. He does very well with our big girl who just loves to pull on walks. He is also very prompt and communicates well! We will continue to use Darius!”

“Timothy was awesome! He responded super quickly even though it was a last-minute request, and everything went really smoothly. He took my dog Theo on a great walk, and I could tell he really cared. Highly recommend!”

“Super friendly, punctual, and great communication. She took amazing care of our dog, like most all pet owners, our dog is a part of our family. Absolutely recommend her and will use her as our walker again.”

“Allison is such a blessing to me and my little dog! She is trustworthy and responsive. I have peace of mind when I’m at work knowing my dog is being walked and cared for by Alison.”


“I needed temporary help taking 3 dogs on morning walks, especially early since one of them was a senior dog! Luckily, I found Christina! Her price was affordable and service was excellent! She was reliable, always punctual and even aaccommodated to my slight change of time for the senior dog. Don't hesitate to book her to take care of your fur baby! Thank you Christina! I couldn't have made it through those 3 weeks without your help!”
“Bailee has been wonderful to my two senior dogs! She is professional, kind, and very communicative about my pets. It gives me peace of mind knowing that my boys are in such good hands. I 100% recommend Bailee to anyone looking for experienced, reliable, and compassionate pet care!”

“Sama is an absolutely fantastic pet sitter! She is incredibly reliable, always on time, and communicates regularly with updates, which gives me great peace of mind. My dog adores her, and it’s clear she has a natural way with animals. She also handles all pets with care and professionalism. I highly recommend Sama to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving caregiver for their pets!”
“Genevieve is such a sweet and caring person. I was looking for a new regular dog walker and she communicated very well. My dog took to her immediately and I can tell from the photos that he’s a big fan of hers. I’m excited to see how their relationship progresses!”

About: I’ve been a dedicated dog lover for over 27 years, starting with my first pup, Mystic, a Chow Mix/German Shepherd. Since then, I’ve raised and cared for multiple dogs, including Paco (Husky mix), Kiko, Lisha, Marley, and their mom, Sasha. From playful puppies to loving seniors, I’ve experienced it all and know how to handle a variety of needs with care and patience. Dogs bring so much joy, and I can’t wait to give yours the same love and attention! I'm an early riser thanks to my dog Cloud and I currently work from home from 10:30am-7pm CST so I have lots of time in the morning for playtime, walks, cuddles etc. Since I work from home, I will always have an eye out for your dog and have a very flexible schedule! My dog loves to cuddle with me while I'm working sometimes and I would be happy to cuddle with your pup as well! I have several breaks in between my shift including a 30min lunch so I can take your pup out for plenty of potty breaks & outdoor sniffs! I am a homebody during the week but love to go to Buffalo Bayou Park on the weekends since its around the corner from my apartment. My apartment is very centrally located, im about 3 miles from downtown, 4 miles from The Museum District etc so you can also leave your dog with me while you are visiting Houston! *** For drop in visits during the weekday, I am available anytime before 10:30am and anytime after 7pm. On the weekends I am available anytime. Although I live in an apartment complex, I do have a small outdoor patio that opens up to a lush courtyard where dogs can sniff or potty. There is also a small, fenced outdoor dog park inside my apartment complex. Bayou Buffalo Park is also around the corner from my apartment. The emergency vet hospital (VEG) is less than half a mile from my apartment and I am experienced with the dog heimlich maneuver. I have also "doggie proofed" my apartment and have created a safe haven for my rescue dog Cloud. I have multiple dog beds lying around my apartment and a crate full of dog toys so boredom is never an issue! I also have cool dog puzzles that help stimulate your dogs brain! My dog is allowed on the furniture and also on the bed because life is short, why not :) But if you prefer they not be on the furniture, just let me know! I try to care for your dog just like you care for them so that there is a continuity of care. Please give me as many details about the care of your pup as possible such as specific feeding times, the number of treats they're allowed etc. Sometimes, dogs may need their own space depending on their personality, which I can easily create using baby gates if needed to create a divider. I have a LOT of space in my apartment for your dog to roam since I do not like clutter so I converted my dining room area into my dog's own personal man cave lol theres toys, and a huge area to lounge.
“We had another week of walks scheduled with Jay, who has again been so reliable and shows that she genuinely cares about your pet and their happiness. We are so grateful to have found such a great person to take care of Emma!”


About: I’ve taken care of cats all my life and grew up around friends with dogs! I’m very familiar with pet safety specifically those surrounding dogs and do not plan to take any risks! Your pet is my responsibility and I only want the best for them. I’m very familiar with sick pet care for cats, I’ve administered medications including inhalants for asthmatic cats. My own has his little inhaler! I’ll always go above and beyond for any drop in visits and will not be opposed to washing any pet bowl and doing some litter box care. My schedule will usually allow for late pet visits during the week as I work until 3-5pm. I am not a smoker and will never bring any fumes around your pet or in your home! I work as a nurse so I’ll most likely be in uniform (with clean non hospital shoes) when visiting your pet. During the weekend I’m more flexible and can do visits at most any desired time! For cats and dogs I plan to wash all pet water bowls and food bowls if wet food is used. I will clean a litter box but a deep clean needs to be requested ahead of time! Specifically for dogs I will walk them and ensure they’re cleaned up after. I do not take dogs to dog parks or allow others to pet them due to liability risks. If your dog requires a muzzle I kindly ask you to find a sitter with more reactive dog experience. I can do medication admin for cats only! I do not wear shoes in my home and will always ask if you require the same for your household.
“Annie was absolutely great with Gumshoe! She was very communicative, gave great updates and went above and beyond cleaning up when my dog got sick. Thanks for taking such good care of my boy and being so thoughtful!”
“NiCole has taken excellent care of Maverick on her daily trips to the dog park. She has been so patient and loving with her while she adjusts to the newness of Nicole. Maverick and both her dog daddies appreciate the expert attention she is providing.”

Our dogs love Sarah! It is the highlight of their day when she arrives to walk them! Sarah is punctual, caring and fun. She definitely speaks fluent “dog” if their love for her is any indication. Both dogs are other dog reactive and she handles them like an expert. Thanks Sarah!

Valerie was amazing! Reliable and very friendly. We were so grateful to have her help on a busy week. Our dog Biscuit can be tricky, but he loved her immediately and she was able to get him to go for long walk. We will definitely be requesting her again!! Highly recommend.
