This was the best experience I’ve had with having a peace of mind, leaving my dog with somebody that’s capable of taking care of him. Also, the videos that she sent me of him being playful and happy was so comforting. I will be using this app, but definitely looking for her every time I visit Houston because I come out here once a month.

I’m so grateful to Dylan, Erica, and Dino for opening their home to care for my sweet Porsche. During his 5-night staycation, he was loved, spoiled, and truly at ease. He and Dino became instant buddies, matching each other’s energy and having the best time together. Porsche enjoyed all of his favorite things and even more than I could have hoped for. I would absolutely love to have them care for my fur-baby again anytime!

Tommie and Jeffrey were the best sitters! Our dog, Freddie, has a blast at their house playing with the other dogs abs snuggling on the couch. They sent multiple pictures daily which really made being away from him easier! They truly cared about our sweet boy and took great care of him. Freddie is already ready to go back to “camp”!

About: Genuine love for pets. I naturally care for their well-being and love the affection I get from all animals. My family and I have 5 dogs of our own and recently we were adopted by our newly stray cat, Carey. We have been fostering dogs since Thanksgiving of 2017 and we have learned a lot how all pets deserve second chances and how each one of them heals at their own time. My dog walks are tailored to your pet needs, I will focus on the safety of your pet and myself during my service. You can trust that your pet will always be in loving and caring hands. Dog walking would be my primary activity next to my English classes. I will work with you to make sure that your pets needs are met in a timely manner. At home we have a fenced backyard and at my customers' homes I make sure that safety is a priority during my service. That means that I would make sure that your pet is properly secured and that is happy while we are together.

Jacob was fantastic with boarding fof my dog Bandit. He asked all the right questions up front to make sure he understood Bandit’s habits and needs, communicated promptly and professionally, kept me updated throughout the stay, and I could tell he genuinely cares about and understands animals. Highly recommend!

Lindsey are her family are simply the best. We drop our Finny off with her and leave town, sometimes very far away, and never worry for one second that he isn’t safe and happy. We feel like he is genuinely loved by their family. As a dog owner who can be anxious about leaving, there just isn’t a better feeling than that!
