“This was our pup’s second time staying with Marianna and has an absolute blast! She so good and attentive to our pups need. She even voluntarily bathed her after a messy day at the dog park. 10 out of 10 would recommend and we will definitely continue booking with Mariyana!”


“My dog had a great time at doggy daycare with Carla and her family. Carla sent updates throughout the day which was much appreciated! We will definitely use her services again”


“Wonderful experience having Adriana watch our Nola doggie. Nola is not used to staying anywhere without us but Adriana made it easy on both our dog and us! Adriana is polite, professional, and kind. 10/10 would use again”


“Last night, I was running behind with picking up Lani due to Houston rush hour traffic from Memorial to the city and Stephanie was so accommodating reassuring me that it was okay and to drive safely. She is like a family member now to Lani and myself ☺️. It’s so comforting to know that Lani is so well taken care and she enjoys the whole family 😀”


“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.”


“I’m very thankful of Tommie and Jeffrey. They took really good care of Domi on thanksgiving day! They sent a lot of updates with photos and videos. I would definitely leave Domi again with them.”


“If I could give more than 5 stars I would! Michelle was SO great and is one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met. She took care of my angel Toby so well, loved in him, sent pictures, took him on walks, and he got a lot of playtime in. I don’t think he wanted to leave! He was so wiped out when we got home, he went straight to sleep! Not forgetting to mention how accommodating she was for me and my changing schedule. She’s the best.”


“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!”


“Can't imagine a better first experience on Rover. Lydia was patient and friendly. My dog had plenty of room to play and seemed to have a lot of fun. Lydia sent pictures and kept me up to date on all the things my dog was enjoying.”


“So glad I found Vy!! have a rescue dog who can take a while to warm up to strangers. When considering sitters, I hoped to find someone with experience looking after dogs which exhibit nervous/stressed behavior, which Vy has. Max was comfortable around Vy almost straight away and within a short while of meeting her partner Sean. He spent the day playing and napping with her pup Hardy and receiving belly scratches! Vy also puts a lot of care into the pet owner experience- I received a Google docs link through which she uploaded adorable pictures and videos of max during the day, and complete report card. I’m going to be using Vy weekly moving forward”


“Alexandra was so sweet and flexible with a very last minute request. I have a lot of anxiety leaving my pup but felt at ease with her care. Would feel more than comfortable to book again! Thank you so much!”


About: I have had a dog for more than 15 years, additionally I was a dog walker in New York. I also sat dogs for friends and family when they are on vacation. I am semi retired and live with my daughter, I would like to take care of the pets in my free time. I am originally from Russia and super happy that I became an American citizen I have a fenced yard and a big house. Your dog or can will be happy to run around it. Only one dog at a time.

About: I've helped birth puppies, treated injured dogs, taught dogs to shake my hand, I only use quality dry foods that are grain free. My dog Kenny enjoys playing with other dogs, so it will be a good time! I just want to go outside and enjoy the fresh air while the dogs play! Morning walk, feed dogs right afterwards with fresh water, afternoon walk and water refill and depending on their prescribed diet another scoop of food. Dogs will be rinsed if they are dirty, primarily their paws. Will be washed if needed before entering the home. Then an evening walk to finish the day. In my home they will be provided with designated spots to eat to avoid conflict. They will have free range to roam the home besides the bedrooms that are carpeted. Toys will be around the home to play with. I work from home so during my breaks I play with the dogs. After lunch i take them out to play and handle their business. We walk in the park behind my home but for the older dogs I let them roam in the gated area for dogs. In my customers home their rules apply.

“Chant was great with my dog Mylo! I had work very early and was able to drop him off before 7AM!! She was very accommodating. Will definitely be booking again soon!”

“Magali was such a breath of fresh air! She left me with no hesitations as I could tell my Mo was in great hands. He absolutely adored playing with her dog, Kiwi and I’m glad she continued to keep me updated throughout the night. Her flexibility was so appreciated as well - would recommend her to anyone!”


“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.”
