“I am completely satisfied with Travis’ service. At first I was nervous about leaving my fur son for the first time but Travis assured me that he would be ok. Travis was on time for every drop in and fed Armani on time each day. Travis is recommended to be a dog sitter by me.”


“Natalie was an excellent pet sitter for my cat, Olivia. And she even did a meet & greet before, which was really helpful to show her around the apartment and introduce her to Olivia. That really made the process very smooth! Will definitely rebook”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats, since I was young, and I am still the pet sitter of choice for friends and family! While in college I cared for and walked a roster of 6 dogs professionally multiple times per week while occasionally sitting or walking many more. I also have a lot of experience working with cats and own a sweet senior lady. I am patient and kind and willing to take the time to get to know your pet and their unique needs - I will love your baby like my own. I am comfortable walking reactive dogs and have befriended many a shy cat. Feel free to reach out with any questions you may have for me! I have open availability and plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve! I can be available on short notice for drop ins and walks any time of day. I live in a quiet neighborhood that is a couple blocks away from the memorial/Buffalo Bayou trails perfect for long walks. I also have a large backyard and plenty of room to play! I have one easy going cat and a partner that loves animals just as much as I do. If I board your dog, they will have free access to the entire house.
