“Sandi was absolutely amazing and always taking the extra time to send great summaries and pictures. She made leaving your pup behind for travel stress free … I would recommend her a million times over.”
“I wanted to take a minute to leave a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review for Ms Sarah. Sarah just started a couple weeks ago with recurring dog walking for my best girl: Annie. Sarah is top notch, so sweet and you can tell she is great with dogs. Annie is still young and can be a handful but she absolutely adores Sarah. As do I. If you need pet sitting of any kind, both Annie and I say BOOK Ms Sarah 😍🐾”
“Jacquelyn was an absolute gem! My dog, Serena took to her and the two had a good time! Serena definitely got her walks in with her! I would recommend her anytime!”
“Darius was great! This was my first time using Rover and was a bit nervous, but my pup loved her time with him. It was just a 30 minute walk but he sent me a video, thank you again!”
“Ariana has been so wonderful! She is super responsive abs reliable.”
“Genevieve is TERRIFIC! Very responsive, friendly, and caring. She did a great job with my pup, making her feel comfortable and adapting to her quirks as a new adoptee still adjusting. I will absolutely hire her again.”
“I’ve booked several dog walks with Jay and she has been consistently reliable with great communication. She’s punctual and follows directions perfectly. Emma looks so happy and well-exercised when I get home! Would highly recommend Jay to take care of your pet.”
“We have used Esmeralda’s excellent service anytime we could book her. She is reliable and is always on time. We trust that she will take good care of our dogs every single time. We appreciate you!”
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.
“Travis is great!”
“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!”
“Tiffany was wonderful with our pups! Even stormed the rainy weather to make sure they got a nice walk in! The pictures she shared were great. :) you could tell our girls were happy ?”
“Great communication, great with our pup.”
“Mandi was so nice, reliable, professional and consistent. We’d absolutely use her again to take care of our dog.”
“Selen was quick in her responses, offered to stay a little longer to play with my pup, and made sure he was fully taken care of before leaving him! 10/10 would hire Selen again!!!”
About: I've had pets my entire life. I currently have a 8 year old boxer who was raised with another boxer and a himalayan cat. My cat passed away at the young age of 18 years old last year and our other boxer passed 3 years ago. I raised my pets from babies to seniors so I have been through it all. We also live across the street from the park so walks are a breeze. My husband and I work from home and live across from Woodland Park in the Heights so fun walks are easily accessible. Working from home gives us the flexibility to take care of your furry friend when needed. Your pet will be cared for as if it were my own. Walks will always be on a leash. Hugs will be shared accordingly, lol. Please provide crate if needed.
“Catalina was amazing when it came to being available and flexible for Prince’s daily walks. Seemed to spend the time to make sure my boy had great walks and company!”
“Tegan did a great job of leaving me a description of what she did. I got cute pictures. She even changed my parrots water! Thanks for stopping by!”
“Ashley was very professional and made sure to treat Malachi with care. She has great communication skills and kept me updated. I highly recommend!”
About: I grew up with dogs pretty much my whole life and they are just as important as any other family member. From going on walks, to giving baths, and teaching neat tricks being a pet owner has been my favorite part of life. I currently have an emotional support dog who I bring with me everywhere to explore the world. She has become my bestfriend and shown me more about myself than I could have ever imagined. I make the effort to include my pet into all aspects of my life and whether going to the park or for a road trip pets should enjoy life as well. I walk my dog approximately every 2-4 hours for 30minutes to an hour depending on schedule. I make sure pets are in a safe environment and nurture them like my own kids from cuddles to playing fetch. I also ensure they get the needed potty breaks and fun in the sun.
