“Stefani was a great help ! We were in town and totally forgot the Texas State Aquarium didn’t allow pets. She took Lola into her home while we were at the aquarium. Kept me updated. When back in town and needing a sitter will definitely book again! Thank you once again!”
“Samantha was the best. I had to change drop off and pick up dates and she was really cool about it. She treated my dogs like her own, I didn’t worry about their well being while they were with her. I knew they were having a blast and being well taken care of. My new go-to sitter.”
“Cindy is an amazing pet sitter! I have two big dogs who are not always the easiest, and she took them on daily walks, took them to the dog park, and even taught them tricks! She went above and beyond to care for them like they were her own dogs!”
“This was our second time leaving Digger with Tisha, and we couldn't be more pleased. It's such a comfort to know that our fur baby is being loved and cared for when we take a trip and aren't able to bring him along. The pics she sends are great! We can tell he's having his own little vacation, and loves being around her dogs. The best part is seeing how he acts when he gets home. He falls right back into his normal routine. That makes me know he was treated right. We will definitely be using Tisha when we have to leave our Diggado behind!”
“Belinda did such an awesome job! She provided the meet and greet and she kept me updated quite often. She demonstrates a general love and concern for Penny, my pet Schnauzer. Her husband Brian also helped out so much. I would definitely trust Penny again with Belinda. I will wholeheartedly recommend you book with Belinda! Awesome job 🙏👍”
“Highly recommend using Debbie for any dog sitting needs! She was incredibly communicative and kept us updated with delightful pictures and videos. It was clear our dog was extremely well cared for and enjoying her time at Debbie’s!”
“Deann was amazing!! She sent lots of pictures and great updates! Abby was very well taken care of and loved. She got a lot of outside time and treated like family. When I picked her up, she smelt good and looked great. I only have good things to say about Deann. Abby will definitely see her again!!”
“Loved the photos and updates during Lucy's stay. I always worry about finding a sitter for my senior chihuahua and I had a great experience with Karimar. I plan to book again in the future.”
“David and his wife were great taking care of our pups! We got updates every day with photos. They got lots of snuggles and their dog Gryffin was a great playmate!”
“Lesley gave 5 star treatment to my 7 month old puppy, Skipper for an in-home stay. At first I wasn’t sure about leaving little Skipper with all her big dogs, but she suggested an initial meet and greet and it was apparent that Skipper would become part of the “gang.” Lesley even got Skipper to eat regular dog food! Skipper was well taken care of and will be visiting his new friends for drop in visits. Thank you Lesley!!!!!!”
“Delelah watched my Lab, Fletcher, for the day while we went to the aquarium on our way to Port A. Communication was prompt and clear, and Fletcher was happy! Thank you!”
“We needed pet boarding last minute for a Christmas trip and Danielle helped us out and did an amazing job taking care of our fur baby! Our pup had never been away from us for more than a few hours and Danielle handled her separation anxiety like a pro! She was so sweet to our pup and kept us updated the entire time. She is the best and we will use her again next time we need someone to care for our doggie.”
“Judith is truly a gem! She is incredibly accommodating and deals with my last minute work travel schedule! Our dog, Sophie LOVES it at her house. When she sees we are there, she runs to Judith’s front door ready to go in. There is a large backyard where the dogs have plenty of room for playtime. I’d highly recommend Judith’s services to anyone! She’s great!”
“Excellent care received for my pet beagle. They gave him lots of attention which he adores and he thoroughly enjoyed playing with her dogs. She sent over lots of pictures and videos as well. I was grateful finding her last minute for our trip to Corpus Christy and glad our pup was in loving care!”
“It was my first time using Rover for a last minute trip and I’m so happy to have found Paige! My senior poodle Jojo seemed to have enjoyed his week long stay and came back home happy and healthy. I highly recommend Paige and will definitely keep her in mind for future boarding needs! 😊”
“Reagan was amazing! My Stella is a bit weird and loves showing her teeth when playing or getting love which scares some people (she has never bitten anyone). However Reagan embraced it and sent many pictures and videos of my girl playing. Stella had so much fun and after the first day I was no longer worried about her and was able to just enjoy my vacation. Reagan would just send me pictures and videos without me asking and I absolutely loved that! 5⭐️'s”
“Lillian is truly AMAZING! Ollie loves her so much that he didn’t want to leave. She was very accommodating and even had a meet up before so Ollie could meet her. 10 out of 10 service. We will be using Lillian for now on. Thank you Lillian!!”
“Bonnie was an AMAZING sitter for my big German Shepherd. She responded quickly to all my messages and provided videos and pictures. My dog had an amazing time with her and her fur babies. I felt extremely comfortable leaving my dog with her, and it helped that she had large dogs herself. I highly recommend her! I will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Mary and her family were wonderful. We had travel come up and no where to send our new puppy. She was attentive and kept us updated throughout that days with pics and video. Will def call her again in the future to watch our boy.”

DeAnn was amazing. We were visiting the gulf and planned an outing Roo couldn't attend, so last minute, found DeAnn and she accepted. Roo got to hang out with DeAnn and her neighbor Fran. He was well loved on. Both ladies are super friendly and sweet. Thank you both!
Stefani was a great help ! We were in town and totally forgot the Texas State Aquarium didn’t allow pets. She took Lola into her home while we were at the aquarium. Kept me updated. When back in town and needing a sitter will definitely book again! Thank you once again!
This was the first time leaving our pup with anyone. Deann made us feel very comfortable. It was a very clean environment and Deann sent us pictures and updates about how our pup was doing. We were very happy with the care our pup received and will definitely be using Deann again.
