Oak Forest Pet Sitting

Pet care experience

I am an animal-lover at heart, and live in Houston, TX with my 2 furrbabies: Nikita, the 12-yr-old snow bengal and Bo, the happy-go-lucky rescue pup. As a pet mom to a variety of personality types over the last 15 years, I know how important it is to keep a consistent, familiar atmosphere for the furrkids, for their sanity and mine. That's why I want to help you with your pet care needs by providing quality care for your furry family in the comfort of your own home. I can help out with: - mid-day or early evening visits to help your pup burn off some excess energy while you're stuck at work - 2-3 daily visits when you're out of town, for business or pleasure, to care for your pets and give your home a lived-in vibe - pet taxi to the vet or groomer's when your schedule is packed (Note: I am temporarily suspending overnight sitting services, but am still available for walks and check-ins!) Every service you book with me will include a progress report on how your pet did, so you'll know they're in good hands. I have experience with a range of domestic pets, but mostly work with dogs (large or small) and cats (friendly or shy). I have experience with large, "aggressive" breed pups with stranger issues, pups with leash fear or pulling issues, and those that suffer from separation anxiety or escape-artist-itis. I have made fast friends with cats that normally run and hide or hiss and spit. I look forward to helping you take care of your furry (or feathery or scaly) kids.

We hired Carin to come by our house to walk our youngest pup on days when my fiance works. It was extremely important to us that Harley's heel training continue to be reinforced. As Harley isn't even a year old yet, this can be a little frustrating sometimes (though she's getting it!). We are SO happy to have found Carin! She always sends picture of the pups, and we can really tell she has been following our requests in working with Harley on heeling. She even sent me a picture of her on a walk with Harley perfectly by her side! She lets our other two girls out in the backyard to potty and play a bit also, and sends me pictures of them sometimes as well! Carin has come by to walk Harley many times now, and always does a terrific job. I truly cannot rave enough about her service! Thank you so much!!

Carin made me feel very comfortable about leaving my pets with a pet sitter for the first time. She was super thorough in making sure she had all the necessary details. You can tell she takes it very seriously which is reassuring. She had great communication and sent me updates that let me know exactly what was going on. I will definitely use her again in the future!

Carin did a great job with my pup. I came home to a happy dog. It was my first time using this ap and Carin made me comfortable asking all the right questions to ensure she did a great job!

If I could give Carin more than five stars, I would. She really helped my family out and went above and beyond what we asked her to do. All we needed was for her to change the litter box and feed the cats every couple of days, but in addition to that, we received pics of her loving on the cats, videos of her playing with the cats, and regular updates on the health and wellbeing of the cats. She is incredibly responsive and reliable. I cannot speak more highly of her.
