Safety, trust & environment

As passionate pet sitters, our primary goal is to ensure that your furry friend feels comfortable, safe, and loved, whether they’re in my home or yours. In My Home: I provide a spacious and inviting environment where pets can roam freely. With a secure front yard and access to nearby dog parks, your pup will have plenty of opportunities for play and exercise! I maintain a consistent routine for feeding, walks, and playtime to keep them happy and relaxed. Plus, my two friendly cats are always ready to make new friends, and I can easily keep them separated if your dog prefers it. As a dedicated dog walker and runner, I love taking dogs on adventures to explore the great outdoors! In Your Home: If you choose in-home care, we focus on maintaining your pet’s routine to minimize stress. We will provide plenty of love, attention, and playtime, ensuring they feel secure in familiar surroundings. We also take care of feeding, administering any medications, and, of course, plenty of cuddles! We are attentive to any specific needs or preferences your pet may have, and we communicate regularly with you to keep you updated on their well-being. No matter where your pet is, my goal is to treat them like family and ensure they have a wonderful experience while you’re away!

Information Shirlette T. would like to know about your pet

To provide the best care for your furry friend, we believe it’s essential to gather some important information ahead of time. Here’s what we love to know about your pet: 1. Daily Routine: What does a typical day look like for your pet? Knowing their feeding schedule, walking times, and play routines helps me maintain consistency and minimize any stress. 2. Dietary Preferences and Restrictions: Are there specific foods they enjoy or any allergies I should be aware of? This ensures we can cater to their dietary needs and keep them healthy. 3. Behavior and Temperament: Understanding your pet’s personality is key! Are they shy or outgoing? Do they have any quirks or habits we should know about? This will help us interact with them in a way that makes them feel comfortable. 4. Health Concerns: Are there any medical conditions, medications, or special needs I should be aware of? This information is crucial for their safety and well-being. 5. Socialization Preferences: How does your pet interact with other animals and people? Knowing if they’re dog-friendly or prefer a quieter space helps me create a suitable environment for them. 6. Favorite Activities: What are your pet's favorite toys or games? Knowing what they enjoy will allow us to engage them in fun activities that keep them happy! 7. Emergency Contacts: It’s always good to have your vet’s contact information and any emergency contacts in case we need assistance. By gathering this information, we can ensure that your pet receives the best care tailored to their needs, making their time with me as enjoyable and stress-free experience!

A typical day

When it comes to keeping your furry friend entertained, we believe in a mix of play, exercise, and lots of love! Here are some of the fun activities we have planned for the pets we watch: 1. Adventure Walks: We love taking dogs on exciting walks through nearby parks and trails. Whether it's a leisurely stroll or a more vigorous run, we’ll explore the great outdoors together, sniffing out all the interesting sights and smells! 2. Playtime Galore: From fetch in the yard to tug-of-war with their favorite toys, we make sure to have plenty of interactive playtime to burn off some energy and keep tails wagging! 3. Doggy Park Outings: If your pup enjoys socializing, we’ll take them to local dog parks where they can make new furry friends and enjoy some off-leash fun in a safe environment. 4. Training & Tricks: We love incorporating some basic training sessions or teaching fun tricks during our time together. It’s a great way to stimulate their minds and strengthen our bond! 5. Relaxation Time: After all the fun, we ensure there’s plenty of cuddle time and relaxation. Whether it’s lounging on the couch or enjoying a cozy nap together, we want them to feel right at home! Overall, our goal is to tailor the activities to your pet’s preferences and energy levels, ensuring they have a blast while feeling loved and cared for!

Pet care experience

Hey there, fellow dog and cat lovers! 🐾 I’m thrilled to share that I’ve made my way back to my hometown of Houston, Texas with my husband Brandon, after an exciting adventure in New York! As dedicated dog walker and sitters, I’ve had the joy of being around furry friends since I was just 10 years old and hubby was 15. By the time I was 14, I was already taking care of pups like a pro! While I haven’t become a veterinarian (yet!), I’m lucky to have a sister who’s amazing in that field, so we’ve got the pet care expertise covered! Now that we are in Houston, we are all set up in a spacious home where your fur babies can roam freely and feel right at home. We are conveniently located near several dog parks and dog-friendly public spaces, plus we have a cozy little front yard for some outdoor fun! As an avid runner, I love hitting the trails with my dogs, so if your pup is up for some exercise, I’m ready to take them along for the adventure! And don’t worry if your dog isn’t a fan of cats – we have two friendly feline companions who are more than happy to keep their distance if needed. There’s plenty of space for everyone! Being self-employed means we have tons of time to shower your dog with love and attention, and we are excited to care for them as if they were our own. Whether it’s boarding, sitting, or daily walks, we are here to make sure your pup is happy and well-cared for. We can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members soon! 🐶💖

Let is very responsive and communicative. She is a considerate dog sitter and house sitter. We appreciated the updates and photos while we were away. Our shy senior dog has to go out often and takes meds but he was well taken care of. Let is very kind and we would absolutely use her services again.

Shirlette made me feel so comfortable when she was watching our dogs and cats! She communicates well, sent lots of cute pictures and went the extra mile teaching a stubborn puppy to walk better on the leash. I look forward to leaving the fur babies with her on my next trip!

Gave Miss Traci another cash tip and told her how much we appreciated her. We could not have made it with our sweet Valentino! without our Health this week.
