“Great job, our pets and their space was well take care of! Before we left, Megan & Jenny R were collaborating with us on how to provide the best care, and stayed in touch during their visits.”

“Our dogs can be nervous around new people and seeing how happy and relaxed they were when Maia came by for drop-in visits was such a joy! Getting photo updates and communication from Maia put our minds at ease, we are grateful to know they are in good hands with her and will be booking again.”

“Madeline was fantastic with my dear old dog. The photos she sent during her time taking care of him were very thoughtful. He was very relaxed when I returned home, clear evidence that he was well cared for.”
“Melina did such a great job drooping in and feeding my elderly cat, Momo. She was prompt with timing and sent lots of pictures and updates. I could tell that Momo really liked her 🥰 would definitely recommend Melina to anyone!!”

“Anais was a great sitter! I always feel more comfortable leaving my cats when I know that they are in the hands of a true animal lover, and Anais is definitely that. She was a great communicator and able to follow instructions on giving our special needs cat an inhaler dose every day. She event went above and beyond by trimming my cats’ nails! I would definitely book with her again.”

“Shivani was an awesome sitter for my two cats. She was very attentive during the previsit and offered to take out the garbage cans since it was garbage day. Since it is ant season, the ants got in the cat feeding area during the cat sitting period, and Shivani helped deal with them since the cats do not like them! She gives detailed updates and is very considerate. I trust her in my home with my cats and will be definitely be booking her again. Thanks Shivani!!!”

“Juliana provided such excellent care of our dog and cats during our vacation! She was prompt in her service and detailed in her reports and photos. When our elderly dog had a potty accident, she kept us informed and then did a thorough job cleaning the floors and laundering our dog’s bed. It’s tough to learn of your pet’s difficulties from far away, but when you have a dedicated sitter like Juliana, it makes all the difference in calming your anxieties! We are so happy and thankful to have found Juliana!”

“Really happy we found Laura. She has been great so far with communication, consistency and care. My pups are always smiling in the cute pictures she sends so I know they are in good hands.”

“Korin was amazing with our dogs. They can be a little hesitant of strangers when they first come but she did an amazing job adapting to their personality and caring for them. Will book again!”

About: Rover is an amazing thing in my family's life. Our whole household REALLY LOVES DOGS. We love all the different dog personalities we get to know. We genuinely appreciate pet families trusting us to care for their pet(s). Boarding is our most used and preferred service of the Tree House. We have many regular clients who use our Boarding and Doggy Day Care services. We love all sizes of dogs and the full range of dog personalities. We host up to 4 guest dogs at a time and are very conscientious of the dogs we host and how they will interact. Therefore, if your dog does not do well with other dogs, our house may not be a great fit for your pet. We get requests for exclusive bookings, and where we can accommodate these requests, we will. ****price for exclusive bookings is 2X our service rate, currently $150/night or day care slot**** We require all new clients to do a meet- & -greet, so we can only accommodate last-minute new clients if we get a solid referral from another sitter, you are a friend of the family, or one of our regular clients referred you. We have found our guests do much better when they have been here and sniffed about before their stay. Your dog(s) will be loved and treated with the utmost respect by every member of our household and any other guests. Our home is very relaxed, and our backyard is a dog paradise with lots of shade and different areas for dogs to claim their own space. We always have a crew of dogs, so your dog will have plenty of stimulation and exercise while at our home. We work from home and are here nearly all the time. Pickup and drop-off times are flexible—the key is communication and consideration—fees may apply where either is lacking. The yard has plenty of room for guests to stretch it out and find their own space. We are happy to accommodate crating, and problem children will have some sort of time out until they can ground and be good guests. We are not disciplinarians but are pretty good at setting boundaries thru timeouts and rewards.

“LaDonna showed so much kindness and compassion to my little Roxy! She sent pictures and gave me regular updates. I will definitely be requesting her services again in the future!”

About: I have been a pet sitter for the past 7 years and absolutely love it! I have had experience caring for senior dogs (assisting them walk and administering medication) as well as handling the high energy of younger animals. I have never met an animal that I did not automatically love, and I am able to adapt to all personalities, whether your pet is high energy, laidback, anxious, or timid. Not only am I happy to help others with their pet care needs, but it is truly a treat for me to get to play with your loving animals! Additionally, I love to take pictures and am happy to send you daily photos and videos so you don't have to miss your pets too much when you're away. My current schedule is pretty flexible so I can dedicate plenty of time to caring for your pets! I am able to be accommodating to their feeding and bathroom schedule starting from the early morning till nighttime. It always brightens my day to be able to spend time with animals! My top priority is the happiness and safety of your pets and I would make sure to inquire about all safety measures you take in your home as well as making sure I spend time with your pet as much as I can so that they are not only safe but have a companion to give them all the attention they deserve.
About: Big or small, young or old, I am happy to take care of your pet. Being around animals is a true joy and I'm looking forward to taking care of yours. I am available nearly every weekend and love being active so having a 4-legged companion is a dream come true. I can be available during the week, but only after 5pm. I am respectful of every pet's environment. In your home I would ensure all requirements are followed exactly and that you have no worries about your pet while you're away.
About: I've always loved dogs and have petsat for many years. I have a fun, 2 year old lab-pitt mix; we live down the street from a dog park and are often on hikes or Point Isabel. Would love for her to have a companion. I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule. My dog and I go for hour long walks in the morning (8-9am) and early afternoon (1-2:30pm). We're usually at a dog park or on a hike between 4 and 6pm I live in a condo unit with a fence. The dogs are allowed to spend time outside in the sun during the day and have free reign of the home during the day.
About: Looking for a pet sitter who treats your furry (and feathered, scaled, and shelled) friends like family? Look no further! With years of hands-on experience caring for senior dogs, lively puppies, curious kittens, chirpy birds, scaly reptiles, tiny rodents, and even shimmering fish, I’ve got all your pet care needs covered — and then some. Specializing in working with senior dogs, I know how to give them gentle, tailored care that keeps them happy and comfortable. Got a multi-pet household? No problem! I’m a pro at managing the chaos — from feeding and exercising to grooming, administering medications, cleaning litter boxes, and offering endless cuddles and love. I’ve handled a wide variety of dog breeds, especially terriers, so I’m familiar with their spirited personalities. Whether your pet needs a quick walk, a spa day, or just some extra TLC while you're away, I’m here to provide top-notch, compassionate care with a dash of humor and a whole lot of love. Because your pets deserve the best — and I’m the pet whisperer they’ll thank you for! I'm currently working part-time with a flexible schedule. Monday thru Friday 8 AM - 10 PM. I am available for weekends and one-week or longer stays with advanced notice. When I care for your dog in their home, it’s all about creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where they feel comfortable and cherished. I’ll start by understanding their unique personality, routines, and preferences, so everything feels familiar and calming. Whether it’s a cozy cuddle session on their favorite spot, a gentle walk around the block, or simply sitting beside them while they nap, I’ll give them my full attention and love. I believe in respecting their space, engaging them with gentle play, and providing plenty of positive reinforcement. I’ll keep their meals, medications, and bathroom routines on schedule, and I’ll make sure they get plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. Most importantly, I’ll treat your dog like family — with patience, kindness, and lots of love — so they feel safe, happy, and loved even when you’re not around.
