“My dogs had a great time and looked very happy and well taken care of when I picked them up. Ashley was also great about sending updates and pictures the whole time they were with her. Will definitely trust my dogs with her again.”


“We were planning a vacation and knew that we needed someone to care for our dogs -60 lbs and 10 lbs. Keliann had us over for a meet and greet to see how our dogs got along with Celeste, and helped us schedule a one-night trial run to help the dogs get acclimated before our longer trip. The dogs had such a good time. We appreciated getting pics and daily updates. We’ve used bigger corporate facilities before with bone shaped pools and ice cream treats and I believed my doggos got better care and more play with Keliann.”


“Elizabeth was very helpful and understanding to meeting our dog's needs. She was very patient and well communicated with our dogs stay. I will be booking again with her. She has a big, nice setup for the dogs she takes care of. She also was very organized with my dogs last minute medication needs.”


“Great experience and my pup loves coming here! Nancy and Sienna were super accommodating and even let me do a meet and greet since someone else would be dropping off my pup for me. They trimmed her nails, taught her to shake and worked with her on potty training. Will definitely call them again!”


“Lauren is an exceptional dogsitter who took great care of my dog, Moon. From the moment I dropped Moon off at her home, I knew that he was in good hands. Lauren is kind, patient, and incredibly skilled when it comes to caring for dogs. She truly went above and beyond to make sure that Moon was happy and comfortable during his stay. One thing that really impressed me about Lauren is her attention to detail. She took the time to ask me about Moon's routine, feeding schedule, and any specific needs he might have. She even sent me regular updates and pictures throughout the day, so I could see how he was doing over his stay.She provided Moon with plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection, which allowed him to feel right at home in her care. When I picked him up, after getting back earlier she modified the stay. Overall, I would highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and attentive dogsitter. She is a great choice and I feel lucky to have found her on such short notice! Thank you, Lauren, for taking such great care of Moon.”


“Sarah took wonderful care of my little 6 pound, 11 year old Yorkie who requires some extra caution and care because of his strict low-fat diet due to pancreatitis. He is fed smaller, more frequent meals which he has stayed healthy on, so Sarah was very willing to do the extra things to care for him and keep him safe and healthy and feel as much at home as possible. She sent me pictures and kept in touch while we were gone. I will definitely plan to check with Sarah first every time I need a sitter for Isaac.”


“Gracie had a great time with Ocean and her family. Calm environment was perfect for my girl, and Ocean kept me informed with plenty of pics. Thanks so much! Gracie will be back!”


“I couldn’t have found a better sitter(s) for my puppy. I had to take an extended trip for work, and Beryl hit in that duration. My puppy was safe, secure, and well. I would definitely recommend and would use Kaycee again.”


“Angus had a great two week stay with Isabella and Olivia. They kept me updated and sent pictures of all the fun he was having without us. They will definitely be our go-to sitter for our future trips. Thanks for loving him 😀”


“Kristen was a Godsend during our Christmas trip! She gave us updates while we were away, and we didn't worry about our dog in the least because we knew she was in excellent hands. We know for sure that Tashi was comfortable with Kristen because she actually had an appetite! She normally will not eat when she is away from us - part of her separation anxiety. Kristen gave her plenty of love and took her on long walks. We will definitely be calling on Kristen again! Thank you so much, Kristen!”


About: I love each animal as my own, and I will Do whatever is needed so that they feel comfortable and you feel comfortable as well because the most important thing that you have someone taking care of your animals that you can trust and have no worry’s I am not working so I am available atleast from 6 am to 5pm, my routine is pretty simple I wake up take my son to daycare and I have a bunch of free time I live in apartment I take my dogs out every 2 hours, I also take them for walks but if needed I can go to your place as well

About: I’ve fostered for the SPCA. I’ve sat for countless friends, family and colleagues. I have an undeniable connection with nearly all animals that I encounter. I’m currently a stay at home mom for my 11 year old son. Also, having 2 adult daughters, 1 of which is currently in college and the other just got married last year and is starting a family of her own. I have a VERY large fully fenced in backyard that is ideal for dogs of all ages and breeds. I allow them full access to roam freely inside or outside by use of the doggie door. If I have dogs from different families I have 3 separate fully furnished and doggie friendly “guest rooms” that allow for space and privacy if needed.

About: Hello! I’m Shanice V., a dedicated pet sitter and dog walker based in Houston, Texas. With over ten years of hands-on experience, I have had the pleasure of caring for dogs of all breeds and ages. My journey began with volunteering at local animal shelters, where I honed my skills in managing diverse canine personalities. As a part-time professional with a flexible schedule, I have ample time to dedicate to pet care. I’m almost always present to attend to my furry guests, which allows me to provide continuous companionship, timely feeding, regular exercise, and immediate attention to any needs that may arise. This consistent and attentive care ensures your pet feels safe, loved, and well looked after throughout their stay. At our home, your dogs are treated like family. They’re welcome to relax on the couch and sleep in our bed, ensuring they feel right at home. Our spacious, gated backyard offers plenty of room for play and exploration, and we often keep the back door open to allow free access between indoors and outdoors.

“Laura is very nice. She’s very warm and welcoming! ? my dog immediately adores her. She also updates you with your dog all the time. All in all, my fur baby have a blast during his stay.”


“Maureen took excellent care of our 11 year old dog. She was presented with some medical challenges while we were away, and she handled them with skill and aplomb. She kept us well informed, and her devotion to and care for our dog was very much appreciated by us and the dog.”


About: I currently work as a registered vet tech and have been for the past 8 years. Due to being well versed in animal health, I can also comfortably keep an eye on your fur baby and, if a health problem were to arise, I would be able to assess any problem quickly. As of now, I own 3 dogs and 2 cats, who all love to meet new pup friends while making them feel right at home! They're always up for running around in our large, fenced in back yard or even going for a snooze on the couch. I am very versatile in accommodating any needs of yours; whether your dog enjoys lots of walks, long games of fetch, or even just a lazy day-- I'll treat your dog as my own! Since I am THAT owner who is always taking pictures of cute animals, you can expect daily updates and pictures of your animal while in my care! As of now my schedule is fully open, with caring for your pets as a top priority. If anything changes I will always be willing to work out a schedule that works for the both of us. I have a fenced in yard and loads of mentally and physically stimulating toys available to your pup. Your pet will feel right at home and I will stick to a schedule and kenneling if preferred.

“Carlos recently watched my niece’s cat and it was a positive experience. He responded to my booking and messages, met us at our hotel for pick up and drop off and sent us some cute pictures. He was flexible, friendly, reliable and responsive. Would use Carlos again for future pet sitting.”
