About: Yo hablo español! 🐶When it comes to pet sitting, I believe it’s all about making pets feel like they’re at home, even when their owners are away. I’ve always had a natural connection with animals, and over the years, I’ve learned how to understand their unique personalities and needs. Whether it’s an elderly dog who needs some quiet time or an energetic dog that loves long walks, I make sure they get the attention they need to feel comfortable and happy. What truly sets me apart is the genuine bond I build with each pet—I treat them like they’re part of my family. I’m also really mindful of routines, whether it’s feeding, or just the little things that make a pet’s day feel normal. For me, it’s not just about watching over them; it’s about ensuring they’re safe, loved, and at ease until their owners return. 👫🏻I live with my reptile loving husband, I would gladly take care of your furry friend, especially on the weekends. We have a rescue mixed chocolate lab and corgi. They are small but have a lot of energy and enjoy playing with other friends. We also have a princess Guinea pig, Pebbles, who enjoys her personal space and daily fresh snacks. As a full-time special education teacher, routines are a big part of my life, and that structure naturally extends to how I care for pets. In the evenings and on weekends, when I'm not in the classroom, I'm spending time with my own fur babies—taking them on walks, playing with them, and making sure each one gets the love and attention they need. Pet care isn’t something I squeeze in—it’s something I genuinely love and look forward to. It helps me slow down after a busy day and brings me so much joy. I know how important consistency is for animals, so I stick to set routines and always make time to connect with each pet on a personal level. Whether I’m caring for my own pets or someone else’s, I treat them all like family. 🏠 I do offer house sitting services, however I have a family as well that also need my attention and care that I can only do 12 hour schedule (e.g. 7am -7pm). At this time, I will not be able to do overnight stays. I’ve been taking care of dogs for my family ever since I was in college, so looking after pets feels completely natural to me. I take a lot of pride in keeping a clean, safe, and cozy home for our animal babies, and I bring that same care into any client’s home too. I treat every pet like they’re my own — making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well taken care of. Whether it’s sticking to their routine, keeping their space clean, or just giving them lots of attention and playtime, I’m all about making sure they’re happy and safe.

Eva was really great with my sweet piranha. she id a little reactive and nervous with new people, but she immediately took to Eva. We had some communication issues in the beginning, but after some chatting, we were able to resolve everything and she was even able to extend her time with piranha at the end of the booking when my flight was canceled so her flexibility is unmatched. I will 100% book with her again!

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, and caring for pets comes naturally to me. As a proud dog mom to three mini schnauzers, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets—they’re family. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, including puppies who need structure and play, and senior dogs who need extra patience and gentle care. I make it a priority to follow your pet’s routine closely so they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away. I’m dependable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals—whether that’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. I also provide regular photo and video updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to give you peace of mind and make your pet feel loved, safe, and cared for at all times. Caring for animals is already part of my everyday life. I plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, and quality time with pets, so I can give them consistent attention and care. I truly enjoy making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether in my home or a client’s, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment. I stick to each pet’s routine for feeding, walks, and rest, and give them plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I treat every pet like my own and keep owners updated so they always know how their pet is doing.

Amanda took excellent care of my beagle guy while we were away. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly love animals. I appreciated the regular updates and photos! It gave me real peace of mind. My dog seemed happy, well-exercised, and comfortable when I returned. I would absolutely book them again if I ever travel back to Houston.

About: Hi there! I’ve been a devoted dog mom for 19 years, including caring for a large breed pup for over a decade (I also get my loving husband to help too.) I’m deeply attuned to the emotional and physical needs of animals — from energetic young dogs to gentle geriatric pets who need a slower pace and extra love. I’m skilled at reading body language and anticipating what your pet might need before they even ask for it. I believe that every dog and cat deserves care that is calm, responsive, and full of affection. When I’m in your home, I treat it with the same respect I give my own — I’m neat, thoughtful, and follow all care instructions closely. I’m also quick to communicate and always happy to send updates so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. Whether we’re snuggling on the couch, going for a walk, or sharing quiet company, your pet’s well-being and emotional comfort are my top priorities. Im available for any of your pet care needs. I have 6hr internship during the day will occasionally work events. I prioritize pet needs and will adapt my schedule around them As a lifelong dog lover, my first priority is always your pup’s safety and well-being. I keep dogs leashed at all times when outdoors and closely follow regular feeding schedules while monitoring for healthy water intake. I believe every dog deserves exercise and stimulation that fits their body, energy level, and comfort. Whether it’s a short walk, backyard play, or quiet companionship, I tailor the experience to meet their individual needs. I always ask about medications, allergies, and health routines up front. I'm also well-versed in foods that are harmful to dogs and never offer people food — only what you've approved. You can trust that your dog will be cared for with attentiveness, consistency, and deep respect for your preferences. Their safety and comfort come first.

Maddie was an excellent housesitter! While we were away, she made sure that our dogs were petted, played with, walked and generally loved -- and even that they stuck to their familiar feeding and sleep routines. She sent great photos and videos so that we knew how everything was going. I hope she's available next time we're away!

About: Hii! I’m Meagan I am 25 years old with lotssssss of experience with all sorts of pets of my own as well as foster pups & adoption groups. I have 2 little boys, two precious pits named Cove & Peter, as well as a kitty that I all call my babies, they are the light of my life. I have a sweet spot for all types of dogs big or small, I’m always able to negotiate prices!!! I hope to meet your baby soon!! ❤️ I’ve had my baby Cove since she was 4 weeks old, so I’m very much used to younger dogs, and my sweet boy Peter was a foster of mine that I couldn’t let go of, he is BLIND! So I’m very well rounded on my care for pets of all kinds! HOUSE SITTING - walks every 4-8hrs , feeding, snuggles, play time, house is kept as left/tidied up if necessary *** IF NEEDING A HOUSE SITTER (going on vacation/ out of town?) , MY RATES ARE BASED OFF HOUSE SITTING RATES, PER DAY RATE, NOT OVERNIGHT , I HAVE 2 SMALL CHILDREN THEREFORE I CANT STAY OVERNIGHTS, but I can be there throughout the day in multiple visits , rates includes 2-3 visits daily**** The price might be insane, but I adjust most rates manually so don’t worry about the price you see. Week long stays, 1 dog- $350 ; 2+ dogs- $450 -Drop-ins are only one visit! DOG WALKING 🦮🌳- Give them a well needed exercise for myself and your pup! Lots of love and if there’s toys around I’ll most likely try to play i have open availability! I do tend to see favoritism in walks around noon / lunch time so please be aware that I do have multiple clients ranging from 10-2 so if you are able to be flexible with that time range that would be much appreciated!! I will treat these babies like they were my own. They’re getting a full good walk and lots of love from me! There will always be good communication and pictures along my visits / stays. I like to keep things as I see it or clean up a little bit when necessary (toys everywhere ect)

About: 🐾 From active pups in need of structure and training to gentle older pets in need of extra patience, I have expertise taking care of dogs of all ages.
