“We could not be more pleased with Geneva! She did a great job for us and Ted and we intend to use her again. She was very professional, courteous, communicative, and timely. We were impressed!”

“Elmer was amazing! Our regular sitter wasn’t able to watch our dogs and finding someone new to trust is always a little stressful, but he made the whole process very easy. He was personable, sent daily photos and videos where our dogs looked so happy, and we came back to a clean house. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away! Would definitely use him again”


“My dog, Dante, can be anxious around new people. Jamie connected with him immediately and understood how to handle him! I'm so grateful for her attentiveness and care of my snuggle monster!”
“Zariah did a great job taking care of Kiki while we were out of town for 9 days. She attended to his special needs by giving him his insulin twice a day. He seemed very content when we arrived home. Overall, Zariah is very neat, honest and highly responsible.”

“Kyree was great with Titan and very responsive. She even put together the new bowls for him that were delivered while I was gone. Would recommend to anyone looking to find someone who will treat their pet like family.”

About: I do not remember a time where my family did not have dogs. I have been taking care of dogs since I can remember and currently have a dog of my own. She has been one of the best things that has happened to me and I wouldn't trade her for the world. I love dogs and would enjoy being around them all of the time. It sounds like the best job ever! It makes my day so much better when I come home to my dogs and I definitely understand how important dogs are and how much of a difference they can have in a persons life. Since I got a dog who I called my own I wouldn't trade her for the world. I have moved to a different state for school and unfortunately could not bring my dog with me. I would love to spend time with your fur babies and treat them as my own! I am currently going to school full time, therefore I have a pretty flexible schedule that will allow me to spend quality time with your pups! I am in an apartment with a balcony, but my apartment does have a “dog park on site” with some room to run and get some energy out.
“Jenny is the best house sitter we ever had. She took extraordinary care of our two dogs and one cat, sending plenty of pictures and videos so we could see how happy they all were. She also left the house in immaculate condition. We will definitely use her again. She's amazing!!”


“I had such a great experience with Sara! She went above and beyond from the very start—arriving early and keeping Roux happily distracted while I took care of some last-minute trip details. It made my departure so much less stressful.Throughout the stay, she sent thoughtful updates and pictures, which I really appreciated—it was such a comfort to know Roux was in good hands. She was extremely responsible, paid close attention to all the details about Roux’s routines, feedings, and medications, and really listened to everything I shared. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and attentive pet sitter!”


“Diamond was punctual, communicative, friendly, and caring with our dogs. Everything was left clean, and they seemed to be very happy with her. We highly recommend her service. She she lots of pictures and seemed to love them like her own!”

“Ziaya was amazing! She took excellent care of my two dogs and made us feel completely at ease leaving her in our home. Highly recommend her services! She took them on multiple walks and gave us updates along the way. She’s the best!”

About: Hi, I am a pre nursing major. I am currently in nursing school. I have been raised around dogs since I was 10. I have a dog of my own . I also watch my mom’s dogs when she is away as well, she has 3 dogs herself . I have helped my mom and sister breed their dogs and take care of them. I also had a job as a dog walker before, but the lady moved away to California. Animals are my life! They are my babies. I have a dog myself, so I take her out first thing in the morning and I also feed her. She is very loving. I have a friendly pet. I have a dog named Ivy. My dog is crate trained but she’s a spoiled girl as well. I would treat your pet as one of my own, treat them like my babies. ASK ME ABOUT MY RECENT PROMOTIONS. I will always have promotions and especially for new clients. They always change. Wake up, go out for a walk, eat breakfast, one more walk, play time,sleep, lunch, walk again & same for evening. My pets are on the same schedule I keep my pet in a crate at night time.. she is friendly and just chills all day. She is 3 years old and is a sweet heart.
About: I have taken care of my dog for 11 years and I treated her like my own daughter until she passed away lately. I have also taken care of my cat for 7 years. I picked him and his siblings up at the side of the street. I gave his siblings to my relatives and I kept one without the tail. He became my baby cat ever since. I'm currently working at home, so I have a plenty of time to play with your pups and kitten! I can work from 8-9am till 3-4pm. I can well take care of your dogs or cats all the time at your home. To make sure of them not getting hurt, not hungry, not thirsty, or not messy around.
“Ashley was wonderful with my dog. My dog is a bit older and Ashley did a great job ensuring that she got plenty of exercise, food, and cuddles. I will certainly book with her again.”

“Kaitlyn was an absolute gem and made our weekend away completely stress-free! From the very first update, it was clear she truly cared about our dog and gave him the best possible time. She sent the sweetest, most detailed reports with adorable photos throughout the day. She went above and beyond, keeping him on a great routine and picking up after him so we didn’t have to worry about a thing. It’s obvious Kaitlyn is caring and responsible, and we felt like he was in the very best hands the entire time. We can’t recommend her enough! Thank you, Kaitlyn, for taking such wonderful care of our dog 💙”

“Jennifer was great! She kept me updated with photos and messages the whole time I was away. She was very friendly and reliable. Seeing her interact with my dog at the meet and greet made it very clear that she enjoys what she does!”

“Sarah is amazing! She stayed with my dogs for the first time last night, and I appreciated how loving she was with them. Great at sending updates to me throughout her stay and took special care of the dogs and my home. I’ll be booking Sarah again!”


About: I was born and raised in Houston and have been sitting for family, friends, and other clients since I was a teenager. I’m used to working with a broad spectrum of dog breeds + dogs of all ages (not a stranger to doggy diapers and suspenders). I grew up with a pug named Chestnut who passed last year and he had such a big personality and spirit, and was a big part of my childhood. He is always in my heart and when I sit for other dogs, I give them all my love and care for them to the best of my ability 🤍! I pay close attention to a dog’s behavior and their body language signaling. It is important for their health, comfort, and safety. I recently graduated from Texas A&M and I am freelancing so I will have plenty of time for all your dog’s needs and playtime! My days usually begin at 8:30am. In my free time I do yoga/meditate, play guitar, and make art! I need to be briefed on a dog’s routine and usual behaviors before pet sitting at a client’s house. I like to have initial meetings while the owner is present to establish a relationship with the dog in a comfortable environment for them. During drop-ins and house sitting days, I am only responsible for the dog and no other individuals in the house. I am not a babysitter for clients that have not explicitly reached out to me for that reason. I am also not responsible for 24-hour surveillance of your property during house-sitting as I would be living there as if it was my house. I am always respectful of my surroundings and leave the house like I found it.

I HIGHLY recommend Ashlee as a amazing pet sitter. She gave so much care and compassion for my very spoiled furr babies. My babies have different temperments and Ashlee definitely was up to the task. WE appreciate you Ashlee and look forward to our next booking!!! :-)
Elmer is amazing. He is wonderful with our girls. Our dogs are so picky when it comes to new people and they loved Elmaer immediately. He is the best pet sitter and house sitter. Our house was cleaner when we came back home. He is amazing and we ate thankful to have found him. Will definetly use Elmer again.

Trystan was absolutely wonderful and I can’t recommend her enough. She was incredibly flexible and accommodating with a short notice request the week prior for a 24 hour house sitting request which I really appreciated. Before the stay she took the time to meet with me and my dogs which immediately put me at ease. My dogs took to her right away. Teddy had a great time playing with her and Jack who can sometimes be slow to warm up liked her instantly. That alone said a lot about her. During her stay she sent updates with photos and videos which made me feel completely comfortable while I was away. She also stayed for nearly the full 24 hour duration giving my dogs consistent care and attention. Overall, Trystan is reliable, attentive, and clearly loves what she does. I would absolutely trust her again with my home and my dogs.

Stephanie has been my dog sitter several times, and I could not be more pleased with the care and love my dog receives from her! I was out of town for almost 3 weeks and knew I could rely on her for the best possible care of Jules. She will continue to be my no. 1 choice for dog sitting!

Kyndall was what we've been looking for. Very sweet yound lady with a passion for animals and their well being. My 11 year old Canary Mastiff is a grouch and very standoff'ish when it comes to new people around him. He almost immediately warmed up to Kyndall. She sent plenty of pics of either him playing with her or just lounging around. She is definitely my go to moving forward. I'd recommend Kyndall 11 out of 10 times!

Gabriella was excellent! My very wiggly, hard to medicate cat got sick right before we went on vacation. He needed a pill, two liquid medications, and eye drops twice a day. Gabriella expertly handled it and sent updates on his status too. Would definitely recommend her and book her again!
