Pet care experience

Best place and secured for your pet

Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover, and caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy. I currently live in Houston, Texas, and work part-time, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I'm also the owner of Luna's Tiny House, where I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for furry guests. You can follow our journey and see updates. My own little pet family keeps me busy and happy every day. There's Lunafreya, my energetic Australian Shepherd who loves making new friends; Mushu, my friendly black cat who's always ready for cuddles; Cheeku, my shy orange tabby who takes a little time to warm up; Milo, my senior cat who prefers a peaceful nap over any adventure; and Sasha, the youngest of the bunch, who keeps everyone entertained with her playful personality. I live in a secure, pet-friendly neighborhood that's great for walks and outdoor time. I always prioritize the safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet in my care, making sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and exercise based on their individual needs. I also like to schedule a meet-and-greet beforehand whenever possible. It helps make sure everyone feels comfortable and that it's a great fit for both you and your pet. I look forward to meeting your furry family member and giving them the same love and care I give my own! 🐾

Hector did a great job with my dog! Well taken care of and had great communication. My dog was very happy when I picked him up. I was out of town and my flight got delayed and Hector was very understanding and kept my dog an extra day free of charge. I will definitely bring my dog back.

Hector is amazing! He goes the extra mile and we will definitely be rebooking. He took Onion a day early free of charge due to drop-off schedule conflict, also washed Onion's bed before pickup. He was great start to finish, and his dog and cats are super cute!

Availability: I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pet. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I can provide the attention and care they need throughout the day. I do my best to accommodate each pet's routine to help them feel comfortable and at home during their stay.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety, trust & environment I share my home with four cats and my dog, Lunafreya. They're all friendly, well-socialized, and used to being around other animals. Their health and safety are very important to me, so they are fully vaccinated, on flea and tick prevention, and spayed or neutered. Vaccination records can be provided upon request. To help maintain a safe and healthy environment for everyone, I only accept pets that are up-to-date on their vaccinations and are spayed or neutered.

Pets

A typical day

I want every dog in my care to feel comfortable, safe, and part of the family. Every dog is different, so I adjust my routine based on their personality, age, energy level, and needs. For active dogs, I provide plenty of playtime, walks, and activities to help them stay happy and burn off energy. For senior dogs or those who prefer a slower pace, I'm happy to offer gentle walks, relaxing companionship, and lots of affection. Whether your dog loves playing fetch, exploring on walks, learning new tricks, or simply curling up for a nap, I'll make sure they receive the attention and care they enjoy most. My goal is to create a fun, loving, and stress-free environment where your dog feels at home while you're away.

Before caring for a dog, I like to learn as much as I can about them so I can make their stay comfortable and stress-free. I ask about their routine, personality, energy level, diet, any medical needs, and how they interact with other pets. I also like to know their favorite activities, toys, and commands so I can help them feel more at home. I always keep emergency contact and veterinarian information on hand, just in case. My goal is to provide personalized care and make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved while they're with me.
