“We have used Nicki multiple times for house sitting while away and she is always so wonderful!! She is so communicative and takes such great care of our dog. Highly recommend!”


“Jennifer was a fun, attentive, affectionate and responsible caregiver for my 7 month old kitten. She played with her a lot, fed her and cleaned out her litter regularly, and sent me lots of pictures and messages updating me on my kitten’s days. She also went above and beyond on cleaning my house and laundering the linens before I got home. Totally unnecessary, but very much appreciated. I would highly recommend her services.”

“Alex is such a great dog sitter! I could tell from the first meeting that he would treat Goose with love and care. He was extremely prompt, left our house in perfect condition, gave us periodic pictures and updates, and took care of all of Goose’s needs. You can’t go wrong booking with Alex! Your dog will thank you!”

“Ryleigh was fantastic. She provided us with lots of updates and pictures during our trip and made sure our dogs had lots of love and play time. Would highly recommend anyone to go to Ryleigh for your pet sitting needs!”


“Ashley did an amazing job. Tons of photos and updates of our cat and puppy. She also cleaned our home(kitchen and floors) which was SUCH a treat to come home to after travel! She was amazing!”

“Michelle is wonderful with my dogs. She keeps in touch and follows anything I ask her to do with my dogs. The house is always neat and clean when I return. Will use her again soon.”

“Emma is great! She met with us prior to our trip to meet our dogs to see if it would be a good fit. She communicated with us while we were away. We came home to clean home and happy dogs!”

About: Aside from watching friends and family furry family members, I’ve been working in the dog care field for two years as a pet care attendant/yard attendant at a busy doggy daycare/boarding kennel. I spend my days supervising playgroups, reading body language, and making sure every dog has a fun and safe experience. I’ve worked with all types of dogs — from energetic puppies to senior sweethearts — and I’m comfortable with feedings and administering medications. I treat every dog like they’re my own and prioritize safety, structure, and lots of love. I’m currently working full time at a doggy daycare/boarding kennel. My hours are from 2pm to 9pm. I can easily request time off to have my full attention on your pup. I am more than comfortable coming to you to make your pup as comfortable as possible. I will stick to you and your pups schedule to keep structure for your pup.
“Meredith was a good match for my animals! She was on time and responsive. Since my cat has some medical concerns, it eased my mind having someone with experience look over him!”
“Matt did a great job of taking care of our home, plants and dogs. He kept me informed of how the dogs were doing and sent pictures. He actually came by one more time following the initial meeting to go over meds, etc. The house looked great when we got home and the plants and dogs thrived.”

About: I have been trusted as a caregiver for dogs of all sizes & needs since I was a little girl. I grew up with multiple dogs in the home and as an adult I have raised both Rottweilers and Pitbulls of my own, as well as fostered several dogs with behavioral issues that have since been adopted. I have studied a lot on how to manage dogs with behavioral issues and my friends and family often bring their dogs to stay with me just so I can help train them. I promise to provide a stable and safe environment where your dog will thrive & you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I work mostly from home so my schedule is flexible and I’ll be able to accommodate what your dog needs. My pit bull has been spoiled with visits to parks and hiking almost every day for the last 4 years since adopting him & I treat every dog in my care as my own. I have a fenced in yard and a very friendly pitbull that loves to run & play. It’s a pretty decent sized yard, and I also live in close proximity to the Katy trail which makes it easy to take them on walks as well. My dog doesn’t stay in a cage, so he will be there to keep yours company anytime I’m away, but I will accommodate your dogs needs however is necessary as well.
“Niara is amazing! She always sends morning updates and pictures throughout the day of both our pups! Not only does she stay over to keep the puppies company, but she is very engaged and plays and takes them on nice walks in the neighborhood. We have hired her now three times now- she is very responsive and is just amazing all around! We are so lucky to have found her!!!”

“Barb is an amazing dog sitter. I have a dog that thinks the world revolves around her. Which of course it does for my husband and I so it is difficult to find someone who would treat her as we do but Barb does So thankful we found her.”

“Carolann is an amazing person. We have a puppy who has taken to her quickly. She is beyond patient and caring. She is one of the kindest people i have met. It has been great to have someone trustworthy to be in our home and care for our fur baby. She has made our hectic schedule manageable. Truly a blessing!”

“Bob was great with our dog Minnie while we were on vacation. He sent pictures and stories of the adventures Minnie was having daily. He was very accommodating when we were delayed in getting home. We highly recommend Bob for pet sitting and he is awesome to deal with. We are very appreciative of how well Bob took care of Minnie!”

About: I am the daughter of a veterinary technician and have lived with, fed, cuddled, and played with many different cats and dogs that my mom would bring home. Pets of all kinds, have always been a part of my family and I would love to be a part of yours when you need to get away! I work from home so my schedule is flexiblle, accomodating mornings and evenings, which is perfect to tuck your little one in or feed them breakfast. I am available to drop in for walks, feedings, or even just socialization at your descretion. Anytime of day works for me as I can schedule around your needs.
“We hired Meghan to watch our pets in our home. She was a respectful guest and took wonderful care of our pets! She went above and beyond working with us to reschedule our travel plans due to inclement weather. She provided excellent communication, with lots of updates and pictures of how our pets were doing. We would recommend her to anyone and would love to work with her again. Thanks Meghan!”

“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dogs received while I was away! Jamie went above and beyond to ensure my dogs felt comfortable, safe, and loved throughout her stay. Sparky is an elderly guy, but Jamie kept him in his routine, which helped so much. I highly recommend Jamie to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and professional dog sitter. Thank you for giving me peace of mind and treating my dogs like your own!”

Diane did a great job taking care of my 80-pound dog Ollie while I was out of town. She was available on short notice, and she spent lots of time with him and kept me well-informed. She was very respectful of our home and left it very clean. I would recommend Diane to anyone without hesitation.

Bob was great with our dog Minnie while we were on vacation. He sent pictures and stories of the adventures Minnie was having daily. He was very accommodating when we were delayed in getting home. We highly recommend Bob for pet sitting and he is awesome to deal with. We are very appreciative of how well Bob took care of Minnie!
