Perfect home environment for pups!

Pet care experience

SORRY but I have recently accepted a teaching position and will be moving into a house where I can no longer be watch dogs. I will greatly miss seeing all my favorite dogs!! I have been dog sitting in my home since 2011. Since that time we have watched hundreds of dogs, and never once has any dog been injured lost. So have no fear, your dog will be in the right hands!! Located near I-10 and Hwy 6 in West Houston. I stay home during the day working on my masters degree and caring for my baby. We have a fully fenced backyard and a pool available for those doggies that love to swim. I take pride in the services I provide and we love making dogs happy! I love animals -- I have worked as a doggie daycare attendant and assistant dog trainer at Peace Love & Dogs, and have also worked for the Houston SPCA. Before that, I was a teacher for Spring Branch ISD for three years (background check complete). FYI: your dog must be ok with a laid back CAT that does not run. Most of the time the cat stays in the back room, but once in awhile he will venture out into the living room. FYI: We do have a small pool in our backyard, but we never leave any dog unattended near it, esp since we have a child. If this worries you at all, feel free to stop by and check everything out beforehand! Since we monitor all backyard activity, for those dogs that love to swim, they have a great time! Our dog Blackberry is 9 years old, and very versatile. She can be both a high-energy playmate, or a calm, comfortable bed mate. She is about 30 lbs. Also, please be aware that I do have a daughter, age 9, but she is very dog and cat savvy like her mother! I also have an 20 month old at home. *June 1st 2013: Certified Red Cross Pet First Aid Instructor!! ***I want it to be clear that I will no longer be accepting new clients that have in-tact males (non-neutered) or females in heat.

This was our first booking on dogvacay and we were extremely happy with the experience. Kitty was fantastic and everything went perfect from the drop off, our updates to pick up. Thank you Kitty see you in June!

Our dogs came home really happy. Kitty J let me know how they were doing & I appreciated that a lot. They had a great stay & were well cared for.

Another great DogVacay experience with Kitty. Winter stayed over a stormy weekend and was frightened by the thunder. Kitty took great care of her and contacted me to see if there was anything more she could do to comfort her. Kitty is definitely our go-to pup sitter!

A typical day

I live in a nice shady neighborhood that is good for dog walking. We have a lovely neighborhood playground that my 8 yr old daughter likes me to walk her to. If it is too cold or hot outside, I have plenty of room for your dog to play chase inside or in my backyard. We also have a pool for those that like to swim, and we love playing tug-o-war and throwing tennis balls for fetching!
