About: I’m a huge dog lover and have two small dogs of my own, so I know how much trust goes into leaving your pets with someone else! I’ve also pet sat for friends and family over the years and genuinely love getting to know each dog and their personality. Whether it’s going on walks, playing, sticking to their usual routine, or just giving them lots of love and attention, I’m happy to make sure your pup feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’ll treat them just like I would my own! I go on several walks throughout the day and would love to have a pup join me! As a college student, my schedule is pretty flexible, so I’m home often and have plenty of time to give your pet the attention, exercise, and company they need. I care for every pet with the same attention and love I give my own dogs. I’m very attentive to their needs and make sure they’re getting plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and exercise throughout the day and have my own fenced yard. I know every dog has their own personality and routine, so I’m happy to adjust to what makes them feel most comfortable, whether that means lots of walks and playtime or simply having someone nearby to keep them company. My goal is always to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while they’re with me!

About: I’ve spent years caring for my parents’ two French Bulldogs and our 12-year-old black cat, and I truly treat them like my own. I’m responsible for everything—daily walks, feedings, playtime, and giving them lots of love and attention. I also handle daycare drop-offs, vet visits, and grooming appointments, so I’m comfortable managing all aspects of pet care. I’m especially familiar with the unique needs of Frenchies and senior pets, including recognizing health quirks, keeping them cool and calm, and sticking to their routine. Whether it’s a high-energy pup or a chill older cat, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I work full-time during the week, but I’m happy to do drop-in visits before work, during my lunch break, or after 5 p.m. I’m also available for evening walks and have flexible availability on weekends! I care for my pets by keeping them on a consistent routine with daily walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of love. I also manage grooming, daycare, and vet visits.

About: I’ve owned and taken care of pets responsibly since the age of 7. I have a gift in being able to build trust fairly quickly with all pets. I work from home so I have plenty of time to dedicate to furry friends :) I have a flexible schedule so I’m able to take on pet responsibilities at a last minute’s notice more often than not. I spend a lot of time on my own so a pet would add to my day to day! I have an apartment with 3 dog parks less than a block away, and I have plenty of space for cats. We have a a very secure building with fob access so the security of your pet is very high!

About: I've grown up with pets ever since I was a child! My father worked as a rancher and taught me how to care for a variety of different animals! I've owned and cared for different pets for many years. My son helps me watch and care for the pets. We would be happy to provide you and your fur friend service! I'm currently working on writing a book so I'm home for majority of the time. My son also works from home and helps me. We both can provide services to your pet! I have a fenced yard and 2 friendly cats to keep your fur babies company! I have multiple crates and can easily crate and separate different pets!

About: I've been caring for pets for over 15 years. I'm especially experienced with kittens and nervous animals, and I know how to help them feel calm and safe. I'm comfortable giving medication, bathing, and trimming nails, and I always stick to each pet's routine so they feel at home. I'm currently a student with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of free time to spend with your cats. I'm happy to work around your plans and make sure your furry family members get the attention and care they deserve. I prefer caring for pets in their own home, where they feel safe and comfortable. I'll keep their usual routine for feeding, playtime, and litter box cleaning, and treat your home with respect. I'll also send updates and photos so you always know your cat is happy and well.

About: Hi, I'm Austin - a Houston dog walker in Montrose with 18 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes, from high-energy puppies to senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra patience. I've cared for dogs my entire life - my own, family dogs, and dogs for friends and neighbors - including daily walks, feeding, playtime, and giving oral medication on schedule. I'm comfortable with small dogs, large dogs over 100 lbs, strong pullers, shy dogs who need time to warm up, and seniors who need gentle handling and a consistent routine. I serve Montrose and nearby neighborhoods - Midtown, River Oaks, Upper Kirby, Rice Military, Museum District, and Downtown - Thursday through Monday. When you book me, you get the same routine every time: I follow your instructions exactly, keep your dog on your normal feeding and walk schedule, refresh food and water, clean up any messes, and send photo updates during every walk or visit so you can see how they're doing. If I notice anything different in their behavior, appetite, or energy, I'll let you know right away. I'm background-checked, I treat your home with respect, and I treat your dog like my own. Every visit includes the little things: packages and mail brought inside, paws wiped and towel-dried after rain, fresh water (with ice on hot Houston days), and your home left exactly as I found it. On multi-day drop-ins I'm also happy to water plants and alternate lights so the house looks lived-in. In summer I check pavement heat before we walk, stick to shade, and offer water every 15 minutes. I'm based in Houston Thursday through Monday and available for morning, midday, and evening walks and drop-ins on those days. I update my calendar daily - if a date shows available, I am available - and I usually reply within 15 minutes. I enjoy spending time with dogs through walks, playtime, and feeding, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I'd give my own. I follow your routine and written instructions exactly - feeding amounts and times, walk route and duration, medication schedule, and house rules. On walks I keep dogs leashed at all times, avoid close contact with unfamiliar dogs unless you say it's okay, and carry water and waste bags. On drop-ins I do a full check: fresh water, food as instructed, potty break, playtime, a quick check that doors are locked when I leave, and a photo update before I go. I monitor for changes in behavior, appetite, or mobility, especially with senior dogs, and I'll contact you immediately if anything seems off.

About: I have been the sole caretaker of my own dog, cats, & bunnies for over a decade now! Many friends & family members have always relied on me to care for their furry loved ones as well. I can watch, feed, walk, bathe, and play with your pet. I love animals and would love to take care of yours. I am working a very flexible part time job right now, so I am most always available in the evenings but can also adjust my schedule for mornings or afternoon if that works best for you. Taking care of your pets is such a joy to me! Beyond giving an animal its basic needs like dinner and potty time, I also love to give someone's pet as much attention or space that makes for a comfortable environment for it while their owner is away. I want your pet to feel safe and cared for under my care!

About: Hi! We’re proud dog parents of 6+ years and totally understand how hard it can be to leave your pup with someone new. We’ve had our Italian Spitz since she was a tiny fluffball, so we’ve been through all the puppy stages that includes lots of zoomies, daily walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles 🥰 . Being hands-on from day one has taught us how important routines, patience, and giving each dog the attention they deserve really are. When your pup stays with us, they’re treated like part of the family. My husband and I make sure every dog gets as many walks, potty breaks, and play sessions as they need, plus lots of one-on-one attention. We’re also big on updates, so you can expect frequent photos and messages showing your dog having a great time! Our goal is for you to relax knowing your pup is happy, safe, and having fun 😌 One of us works from home during the week when we’re hosting pups, which means we’re around most of the day to give pups the attention they need. We’re able to keep a close eye on them, stick to their routines, and make sure they get timely walks, potty breaks, and lots of check-ins throughout the day. We have a good-sized, fully fenced dog park in our complex where your pups can safely run around, play, and burn off energy. Also, if your dog is a couch or bed cuddler at home, they’re welcome to be one here too.

This was my first time booking a dog walker, so I was a little hesitant at first, but I will definitely be booking Ynes again! She followed all of my instructions, made sure Rocko went potty and ate, and kept me reassured that he was in great hands while I was at work. I truly appreciate her care and attentiveness. Highly recommend!

If you can’t trust Sama you can’t trust anyone. I’m a very nervous dog dad. I’ve been there everyday, every walk. Every feeding. Every treat. It all comes from me to them. When I had some life events come up she was able to help and as someone who is nervous with the idea of having anyone come in and care for my babies my nerves left immediately. I got some cute pics showing how much they enjoyed her company.

Dani is amazing! She was able to jump in at the last minute and walk our senior foster dog Ivy for ten days, twice a day, while my partner was out of town. She was super careful with our pup in the Houston daytime summer heat, and worked with Ivy on good leash manners — she was a different dog by the end of Dani’s time with her! Dani was punctual, communicative, knowledgeable and clearly cared SO much about her families and her wards. I know our sweet girl was in the best possible hands with Dani and I will hire her again in a heartbeat. If you get Dani, you are extremely lucky!! She is the best!!! 💖💖

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Gari was truly the most phenomenal dog walker I could have ever asked for! From start to finish, they went above and beyond in every possible way. They were always timely, reliable, communicative, and incredibly thoughtful. Gari left detailed notes and updates that gave me so much peace of mind and made it clear just how much care and attention they gave to my dog. You can genuinely tell that Gari loves what they do and truly cares about the animals in their care. Their professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail were unmatched. I honestly cannot say enough great things about my experience — Gari is hands down one of the best dog walkers I have ever had! If you’re looking for someone dependable, attentive, caring, and willing to go the extra mile, I cannot recommend Gari enough. My experience was absolutely amazing, and I would trust them with my dog again without hesitation. Thank you, Gari, for being so incredible!
