“Kimberly was amazing, our little guy was dealing with so much stress due to a huge move, and Kimberly was more than willing to take him last minute and was so kind to him.”
“I can’t say enough great things about Angelique! She was absolutely amazing with Dora, our dog. From the moment we dropped her off, I felt completely at ease. She kept me updated with frequent photo and message updates, which made me feel so connected and reassured while I was away. Dora looked so happy and well cared for in every picture! It’s clear she was treated like family. I will definitely be booking her again—highly recommend to anyone looking for a loving and reliable sitter!”
“I can’t put into words how extremely thankful I am that I chose Idalia as my dog sitter! I had an unfortunate incident happen while I was out of the country and she went above and beyond for my dog. She calmed my nerves reassuring me that she would do whatever she could to make my dog feel more comfortable. Idalia is an angel and I would choose her and only her to watch my fur baby from here on out. You can tell she truly loves animals and will treat your fur baby like her own.”
“I just moved to Houston a few months ago so it was so a relief to find someone to watch my dog while I go out of town. Caleb sent photos daily and gave updates on how she was during while I was out of town. I would 100% recommend Caleb and use him again!”
“My Nina requires patience, lots of it, and Casandra and her husband Donald had tons of it. They provided a very dedicated care to my dog, excellent, constant, often, extensive communication with many photos, took my dogs on walks and provided family companionship which is the best kind a dog can get. They’re very kind and professional and you can tell they truly love dogs and aren’t doing this just for money! God Bless them! I’m definitely coming back to them as soon as I need it. 100% recommended !”
“Isabella is amazing! I reached out to her last minute and she accommodated my husky for the weekend. She really got to know him, and kept me updated the whole time I was away. She really has a way with pets! I would recommend her again and again, and I will be coming back to her when I need a sitter in the future! Thank you Isabella!”
“My dog is very anxious and can be weird about taking walks, but Ryan was great at letting him get used to him/comfortable with him and was even able to get him to go on walks after a while. I really appreciated Ryan’s text and picture updates because I miss my pup so much when I’m away from him! He was always super quick to respond, and his apartment location is really convenient as well. I will be using Ryan again!”
“Steven was wonderful! We changed the dates multiple times and he always welcomed it. He sent us daily updates including pictures of our little puppy. We will definitely book him again!”
“Zarina did a fantastic job taking care of Spritz, my pup. From the initial meet I could tell she was caring and attentive. She sent frequent pictures and updates which helped to keep my mind at ease. I’d happily book with her again.”
“Renée took care of our mini Aussie, Crispin, for an overnight stay while we were visiting Houston for a holiday party. Crispin is a senior fog who doesn’t hear well. We couldn’t be happier for the good care and affection she gave him. She was also flexible and responsive in dealing with us. Thank you, Renee!”
“Maria was absolutely lovely. Odin had the best time playing in the dog parks and going on walks. I felt so secure with Maria I was able to enjoy my vacation instead of worrying about how Odin was doing. He was in the best hands! Thank you again”
“I was nervous about leaving my dog with a sitter for the first time, but Terry was absolutely wonderful! She kept me updated throughout Johnny's stay, and he had such a great time with her. I would definitely rebook her for future trips!”
“I could not be happier with Elezha’s care of our Khloe. She kept me informed of her daily activities and sent pictures each day. Khloe was extremely well taken care of and was right at home when I picked her up. Elezha definitely cares and it shows! I will definitely be contacting her again if we ever need services again. It’s a great feeling to know Khloe was left with someone who cared for her like family. Five stars for sure!!”
“Karen was very responsive, sent me pictures of the stay, and my Oscar was a happy camper with her. Thank you again for squeezing me in short notice! I appreciate it!!”
“My puppy spent a day and a half with Tommie and Jeffrey! She had sooo much fun. I can tell she was really happy (and sleepy) when I picked her up. They really do care for all the pups they watch! My puppy can’t wait to go back!”
“Michael and his family were great! They welcomed Nala with open arms and made her feel safe and at home. They sent updates daily. I will be booking with Michael in the future.”
“My dog stay was nothing short of amazing! Lauren went over and beyond to show special care and love to my fur baby! Truly appreciate how she communicated throughout his stay with pictures and text updates. Also, her family was sooo nice and welcoming. I will be booking with her again and again after that! Dash loved his gift’! Thanks Lauren ☺️☺️”
“Ashley took wonderful care of my two senior dogs, Pup and Mac, over Memorial Day weekend. From the start, she was flexible and accommodating with both drop-off and pick-up times, which made everything much easier. She sent regular photo updates throughout their stay, reached out for clarification when needed, and cared for them during the thunderstorm! This gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she treated them like family. She even let them sleep with her, which helped my older dogs feel comfortable and at home. When I picked them up, they were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Ashley again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter.”

Marylin took great care of my Slinky. She updated me every day and always let me know how things were going. She is thorough, kind, and clearly loves taking care of puppers. I really appreciated how considerate she was with her communication. I highly recommend her.
This was my first time using Leslie and she was beyond fantastic! She really took the time to understand each of my dogs needs and took great care of them both. She sent lots of photos and updates and I could tell they both felt comfortable and right at home. Knowing they were well taken care of while I was gone was a huge relief and Poptart and Wally would be so excited to go back!
Natali did an amazing job with my precious baby! He is worn out but clean (it’s a pet peeve of mine when my dog returns dirty or stinky) and seems like he really enjoyed his stay. Plus, Natali was very responsive and flexible! Will be using her again in the future!
Jordyn was amazing with my dog. She tends to be a little anxious, but Jordyn had her playing with other dogs and really building her confidence. I loved that she kept me abreast of how my dog was doing by sending descriptive texts and photos. I would definitely let Jordyn sit my Chilly again!
We’ve booked Preetika to watch our husky Nova a couple times and we’re so happy we did. You can tell Preetika has experience with dogs and sends lots of pictures to put you at ease while you’re away. Nova looks like she’s having the best time when she’s there. We will be booking with Preetika again in the future.
Stephanie was amazing with our two fur babies. They really seemed to enjoy their time there (as evidenced by all the videos and pictures she sent) and I really think she treated them as her own during that time, which is all I can really ask for. I'm so thankful we've found her!
