“Tommie and Jeff are absolutely wonderful! They helped Maggie overcome some separation anxiety and she had a great day. I will definitely be bringing her back in the future.”

“She's very sweet and calming with our energetic Mini-Aussies, and was flexible accommodating our schedule. We are lucky to have found her, and plan to ask her to care for them again.”

“Steven took great care of my Mulder and was extremely flexible with my work schedule! It's hard to find daycare working in the medical field. Not many people are okay with being up at 5:30am unless they have to, but no complaints from Steven! Thank you!”

“Adriana has been the best dog sitter! She cares for Artie as if he was her own. Artie has been so happy and looks forward to seeing her daily. She has been super flexible when any changes are needed. Highly recommended!”

“Darius was a god sent. I was visiting Houston from Dallas with my husband and puppy. I stayed at a dog friendly hotel but even going for breakfast made my puppy very anxious alone in the room we decided to use over for the first time and I urgently contacted Darius. He was very prompt to respond and accommodated everything. He was very vigilant for for example I feed my dog fresh food, which I forgot to tell him, but he had already put the food in the fridge. He has a very sweet and loving puppy, and I could visibly see mylo happy. If I ever returned to Houston, Darius is my guy. Milo has never been around strangers, but he was extremely comfortable with Darius. He also sent updates every so often and was prompted to answer anything I asked. I don’t think twice.”

“Borof loves Tatianna, and playing with her dog Millie. He starts wagging his tail, as soon as he sees her. She sends regular updates, and treats your dog as her own baby. Couldn’t recommend her more!”

“Dylan & Erica were awesome with Ginger! They kept me updated with lots of pics and videos, and their dog Dino was a great buddy for Ginger. Would totally book with them again!”

“I recently moved from Austin to Houston and the hardest part is always looking for a new place to board my dog. My dog is completely blind and really is clingy to me. She’s dared to me, so I am always cautious about where I have her say. But this daycare day was amazing for her. I got lots of photos which always makes me feel better. Because I can see that she’s OK! The report cards are also very thorough, which is amazing! The ladies are so kind and let me come in and see the space. I love that they are crate free minus meal times! I’m so relieved to have found this Dogsitter and lemon will be coming often as I travel!”

About: As a dedicated, pet-loving couple, we provide a safe, caring, and personalized home for your furry family members. Having recently lost our two beloved senior dogs, we deeply understand the importance of patience, comfort, and specialized care—especially for older pups or those needing medication. 🐾 Dogs Are Family to Us – We’ve had dogs as family members our entire lives, and they have always been an inseparable part of our home and hearts. Your pup will be treated with the same love, attention, and care as our own. ❤️ Filling the Void with Pet Sitting – Since our senior dogs have passed, we’ve been dog-sitting for family and friends to fill the void in our home.

We know that leaving your dog in someone else's care requires trust, and we go above and beyond to provide the safest, most loving environment—just like home! 🐶💕
“Needed a last minute sitter for the day and Chant was gracious enough to take both my dogs. One was a senior dog who needed extra bathroom breaks and the other had higher energy who's usually skittish of new environments. Chant made sure both dogs adjusted and were well taken care of. Despite my dog's protests, she even jumped hoops to make sure one of them took their medication. Highly recommend!”

“I’m a first time dog owner and I was beyond impressed with Chelsie with our 6 month old puppy. She would send pictures and kept us updated. She was even willing to come pick up our puppy instead of us having to meet her at her place once. We will continue to use Chelsie in the future.”

“Lidia was willing to accommodate me and take my cat for a couple hours for some last minute plans. She did an awesome job and i truly appreciate her. She was polite and friendly and my cat was comfortable with her.”


“Filipa is amazing with Tabasco. I’ve had her take him walking, she’s pick him up and brought him home for day care stays. I always get loads of pictures and updates too. She is very safety conscious and cares so well for my baby when he is in her care. I just can’t think of anyone better equipped and prepared.”

“Tressa was great to work with. I was in town on business and brought my pooch with me. Tressa was extremely responsive with the booking process and throughout my dog’s stay. He enjoyed himself every day and could tell he was well looked after. Thank you”

“Lauren has a warm and friendly personality, responds quickly, sent pictures throughout the day, and took great care of my dog Frannie! Loved having her as a pet sitter. Frannie always seemed to be in a good mood when I picked her up! Plus her dog, Prince, got along very well with Frannie :)”

Cassandra is amazing! Our dog immediately went with her and seemed to have an incredible time! He came home tired and happy after she took him out on many adventures. We really enjoyed the fun photos she sent of him. She's friendly to people and dogs - perfect situation!

Piper met them literally less than 24 hours ago and she spent the day with them and fell completely in love! They took amazing care of her, pictures, videos, all the things. I’m so happy to have met Tommie & Jeff and Piper will be back for sure! Oh also their dogs are so cute and friendly plus their house is super clean. They literally check all the boxes!

Mykah was amazing! She took care of our baby Benito for the whole day, and he was so happy and calm when we picked him up. We had to book a last-minute stay since we’re not from H-Town and had to bring Benito with us, and Mykah responded incredibly quickly. Communication was excellent the entire time. She kept us updated on how Benito was doing and sent pictures and videos of him playing and snoozing, which we really appreciated. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend!

Erica said our pup had been playing all day with her dogs and was going to be wiped out when she got home, and she was absolutely right! She had a great time and passed out 2 hours after getting home. Exactly what I wanted from doggy day care. Plus Erica was super responsive and helpful.
