“Ynes was prompt and professional. I can tell that my pup really enjoyed their walks. I’d absolutely use Ynes again, my mind was completely at ease while I was out of town.”

“Maia did an amazing job with Loli! She was very punctual, kept me updated, and sent me lots of photos throughout the walk. I’ll definitely book her again! 🙌🏼😁”


“Brittaney was a great walker for Archie! He loved going on walks with her and seemed so happy in his pictures. She was great at communicating and providing updates. She was flexible and made adjustments on bad weather days. Would recommend booking with her!”

“Kasandra has been fantastic over the past two weeks walking our German Shepherd. We really appreciate the quality and care she puts into each walk, she does an amazing job keeping our active dog engaged. Hazel now waits by the door every morning for her walking buddy and comes back happily tired and ready for a nap!”

“Darius was kind and has great energy. My dog took to him pretty instantly and let him pet all over her. He responded really quickly to my initial message requesting a walk and was able to do a meet and greet the very next day. He sent lots of pics and listened attentively when I explained all this Amber(my dog) to him.”

About: I’ve owned and taken care of pets responsibly since the age of 7. I have a gift in being able to build trust fairly quickly with all pets. I work from home so I have plenty of time to dedicate to furry friends :) I have a flexible schedule so I’m able to take on pet responsibilities at a last minute’s notice more often than not. I spend a lot of time on my own so a pet would add to my day to day! I have an apartment with 3 dog parks less than a block away, and I have plenty of space for cats. We have a a very secure building with fob access so the security of your pet is very high!
About: I have 15 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As a full-time veterinary technician working in both general practice and emergency medicine, 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) If we're going for a walk, playing, sticking to a medication schedule, or just spending time together, I make sure every pet receives 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. It’s my priority to provide reliable care that keeps your pet comfortable and maintain 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 will carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications, and any special care your pet may need :) Because I’m a veterinary technician, I'm able to recognize changes in a pet's behavior or health and can provide medication administration if needed according to your vet’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, 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 baby is happy and well cared for while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and want to build trust with both you and your pet through reliable, compassionate care.
“Joseph was great with my pup, Elara! Took her to get some air from being cooped up all day, and she came back looking happier than ever. I’ll definitely book him for future walks and potentially even sitting later this year 😀. Thanks, Joseph!”

“Jazlyne is a go-to when she's available! She is wonderful with our puppy Phoebe! She is not only fun, she helps with training. Phoebe has been better on walks since we have been working with Jazlyne. She has been fantastic using with a variety of walking routes and she is very communicative. I highly recommend!”

About: Hi all! I'm a 34-year-old stay-at-home dog mom of five, with a passion for helping animals and their owners navigate special or challenging situations. My love for animals drives me to create this profile, aiming to offer support and guidance to those in need. Whether it's behavioral issues, health concerns, or unique circumstances, I'm here to share my experience and dedication to improve the lives of pets and their families. I am a stay at home dog mom! I am completely open to help. I am willing to travel, if you’re not in my immediate area. I have experience working with a local rescue who houses extremely reactive dogs and with that training I am prepared to assist with any situation. I have a room in my home dedicated to sheltering an animal who may have special concerns. I have a camera running in that room 24/7 and can send you footage/updates often. If they’re not ok with other dogs, that’s okay too. Although I have animals in my home I am trained for those situations and have a plan set in place to create a safe space for your baby inside and outside of my house. I understand how hard it is to find somebody to trust with your baby, I struggled with finding somebody myself which is what lead me to create this profile. ❤️🐾
“Kendall is wonderful! I had a last minute request and she came over immediately to do a meet and greet with our new puppy. It's very apparent that she loves dogs and is so patient with our shy puppy. I will definitely use her in the future.”

About: Hi! My name is Michelle and I’ve been in the Houston area for almost 5 years! I’ve always been an animal lover which is why I’m an occasional fosters with a nearby shelter. I love all animals and would like to help anyone who may not have enough time in their day to care for their fellow companion. (**Please note that I also accept cats for check-ins as well as boardings) In the past I’ve walked dogs for friends as well as neighbors so I’m very comfortable/familiar with working with pets ranging from different sizes. Just know when you leave your pet in my care I can assure you that they will have a great time and I will always go above and beyond to make sure your companion is getting the upmost care. Many would describe me as optimistic, patient, and friendly who thrives to work hard and have all my goals met- which is exactly what I aim to do for your furbaby! I have my own transportation and I’m available any time on the weekends. I work mostly remote so your furry companion will always have me around most hours of the day! However, if you’re someone need drop-ins please feel free to reach out and we can discuss more in regards to specific days/times, thanks for taking the time to read and hope to hear from y’all soon! I work mostly remote for a position out in the medical center so occasionally I go in, however I live in the heights area so I can be available at either locations! Being in the area has offered me many trails that I would love to take your pups out on, especially if they need to get their energy out. Usually during the weekdays I’m available all day for any services that you may need, however I can do drop ins in the med center anytime from 12-2pm. I’m also fully available on the weekends for all your needs such as drop-ins, pet sitting, and dog walking! *I’m also available to assist with pet transportation (ie: needing to pick up (or take) your pet to/from the groomers, vet, daycare, etc) I will treat your fur baby/ies as my own, meaning that I will follow any directions you provide and will ensure that they are well taken care while you’re away.

About: I've been a dog owner my whole life - over 50 years, all rescues in one way or another! I’m a reliable and calm pet sitter offering walks, drop-ins, and overnight care in the area. I’m especially great with: • Older dogs • Anxious or shy pets • Pets who do best with a steady, gentle approach I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet in someone else’s care. I take that seriously - showing up on time, communicating clearly, and making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable. My schedule is flexible, and I’m available for daytime, evenings, and weekends- including last-minute needs when I can. Whether you need a quick walk, regular drop-ins, or someone to stay with your pet while you’re away, I’m happy to help. Feel free to reach out with any questions. I’d love to meet you and your pet! I have a part-time flexible job, but am looking to make pet-sitting my fulltime gig! I can be there for your pet when you need me! I respect your privacy and will only enter rooms necessary for the care of your pet. I appreciate leashes, harnesses, poop bags, treats and other items they need to be easily accessible and in plain sight.
About: I have 2 years of experience providing dependable pet care for two families, including feeding, walks, playtime, administering medications, and ensuring pets feel safe and loved. I am currently in graduate school full time, so my weekdays are super busy. I am available on Mondays until 12:30pm. I am available anytime on the weekends! Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I create a calm, welcoming environment, follow feeding and exercise schedules closely, and give plenty of attention and affection. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every pet like family and strive to make their time away from you as stress-free and enjoyable as possible.
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! PLEASE READ: I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. My dog, Cloud, keeps me on an early-riser schedule, and I always keep an eye on the pups in my care. During the week, I’m mostly a homebody, and on weekends I enjoy taking walks at Buffalo Bayou Park. My centrally located Houston apartment is a great option for both local pet parents and visitors looking for reliable, loving care for their dogs. 🐾 PLEASE NOTE: I also work a second part-time job, so I require at least 3 weeks’ advance notice for boarding requests. This allows me enough time to coordinate my work schedules and make sure I can give your pup the attention and care they deserve. ❤️ Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. My apartment is dog-proofed and designed with pets in mind, featuring plenty of open space, dog beds, toys, enrichment puzzles, and separate areas that can be created with baby gates if needed. I have access to a fenced dog park within my community, a courtyard for quick potty breaks, and Buffalo Bayou Park nearby for walks. For added peace of mind, the nearest emergency veterinary hospital is less than half a mile away, and I am familiar with the canine Heimlich maneuver. I strive to maintain your dog's normal routine, so I encourage pet parents to share feeding schedules, treat limits, and any special care instructions to ensure a seamless, stress-free stay.
“We loooooveeeee Celeste!!! One of my dogs is extremely shy, & Celeste took time to gain her trust. My girl ended up having the best time! She was more than capable of taking all 3 of my dogs out at the same time. They really love her & I will definitely be using her again!”


“Lisbeth is amazing! Wrote a much appreciated detailed note and many photos of my dog while I was away and even spent a bit of extra time with him! Already booked her for dogsitting and I know Leo can't wait!”

“Alexis has been absolutely fantastic! Her reliability and consistency are top-notch. When I introduced a new dog to our walks, Alexis took the time to ensure that my new dog (70lb boxer) felt comfortable. Her professionalism and skill with larger breeds is impressive.”

Chloe is amazing!! I had a last minute request to get Apollo walked recognizing I had a long day ahead of me. She was super responsive to my messages, navigated my building like she’d be there 100 times and Apollo had a fabulous walk with her. 12/10 would recommend and would definitely rebook.

Brenda is an excellent pet care provider! She was on time, reliable, and so incredibly loving and caring with my dog. It was clear that Norie felt comfortable and happy with her :) I will definitely be contacting her again for future care and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring for their pet.
Liz was wonderful! She’s reliable, caring, and genuinely great to work with. Her communication is excellent! She’s responsive, thoughtful, and proactive, which makes everything feel easy and stress-free. I always felt like the girls were in good hands with her. Highly recommend!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Gari was truly the most phenomenal dog walker I could have ever asked for! From start to finish, they went above and beyond in every possible way. They were always timely, reliable, communicative, and incredibly thoughtful. Gari left detailed notes and updates that gave me so much peace of mind and made it clear just how much care and attention they gave to my dog. You can genuinely tell that Gari loves what they do and truly cares about the animals in their care. Their professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail were unmatched. I honestly cannot say enough great things about my experience — Gari is hands down one of the best dog walkers I have ever had! If you’re looking for someone dependable, attentive, caring, and willing to go the extra mile, I cannot recommend Gari enough. My experience was absolutely amazing, and I would trust them with my dog again without hesitation. Thank you, Gari, for being so incredible!

Jazlyne is a go-to when she's available! She is wonderful with our puppy Phoebe! She is not only fun, she helps with training. Phoebe has been better on walks since we have been working with Jazlyne.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Houston. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
