House Sitting in Staples

“Courtney is an excellent, caring, and attentive dog sitter. During our meet and greet, it was clear she is highly experienced and skilled at caring for pets and animals in general. She watched my two rescue Yorkies in our home for over a week. My two dogs are not easy, as they have behavioral issues and often have tummy issues when I’m away traveling. Courtney was so great about communicating with me, keeping me posted on how the dogs were doing, and would ask thoughtful questions if something seemed potentially off with one of the dogs or if they may not be feeling well. It was also clear that Courtney treated our house like her own. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking exceptional pet sitting care for their pet!! 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟”

About: Hi! My name is Risa! I had a Labrador growing up, she was sweet and rambunctious. During Covid, I fostered a malnourished dog until he went to his forever home! Currently, I’m dog walking full time! I’ve fostered dogs before, but don’t have any pets currently. I’m available for pet sitting and dog walking every day! I love hiking and walking, so can happily take dogs for long walks. I want to have a great time hanging out with your furry friends

About: My life has been defined by a deep connection to animals, from growing up in a multi-pet household of dogs and cats to exploring the intricate world of aquarium keeping. This lifelong passion eventually evolved into a professional focus; I am currently a graduate student in Psychology and am personally training my own service dog, Disco. My experience goes beyond basic pet sitting; I understand canine behavior, the importance of positive reinforcement, and the necessity of a calm, structured environment. Whether I’m managing a high-energy dog, a senior pet with a strict medication schedule, or even a delicate aquatic setup, I bring a researcher's attention to detail and a lifelong lover's heart to every home. I’ve spent years caring for the pets of friends and family, and I look forward to providing that same expert, reliable care for your companions. Pet care is the foundation of my daily life. As a service dog handler, I live and breathe animal behavior and routine. My day is built around structured walks, training reinforcement, and clear communication. While I balance my graduate studies and work, my school breaks are dedicated to providing high-quality, attentive care for your pets. Because I am used to the responsibility of a working dog, I bring that same level of discipline and reliability to your pet’s schedule, ensuring they feel secure and cared for in a low-stress, organized environment. I provide a calm, supervised environment where your pet’s safety is the top priority. I am accompanied by my service dog, Disco, who is expertly trained to be neutral and respectful of other animals' space. This often provides a wonderful, stabilizing social environment for the pets I watch. I am meticulous about feeding and exercise schedules, and I am particularly mindful of safety—for example, avoiding noon-day heat to protect paws and prevent overheating. Whether we are in my home or yours, I maintain a 'safety-first' mentality, ensuring all environments are secure and all interactions are positive.

“She was amazing! She sent me pictures and made sure to let me know what was going on when I asked. She was also very understanding when I couldn’t answer sometimes due to being in a no phone zone. She left my apartment how I left with I deeply appreciated! Best sitter I’ve ever had, and I will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Alex did a great job taking care of our Marlee! We loved the multiple daily updates with pictures. He was very respectful of our home and left it in pristine condition as well as bringing in packages and checking our mail. We know Marlee had a great time with Alex while we were away. Highly recommend him and will definitely use him again.”

“Olivia was great! Her updates were wonderful and I really appreciate her asking questions when my old man refused to take his meds”

Madison J.

“This was our first time using Corina and she was great! Fantastic communication daily. She sent pics of our pets every morning and every evening. She was very respectful of our home. It is obvious that our pets were well cared for and happy. We have already booked her for another three dates. She is now our go to sitter!”

“HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Lucrecia is great, second time having her to house sit and watch our puppies. Our dogs love hanging out with her and we feel very confident leaving our pups in her care.”

“Our dogs love Michi! She's so kind and very communicative. Thank you for taking such good care of Bodhi and Remy!”

Sam C.

“We were so nervous about leaving our dog with a stranger. Epiphany was so professional and came and met our dog beforehand to calm our nerves. She came into our house and immediately sat on the floor, loving on our dog. She was fantastic. Our dog had a small bruise on his ear. She was so attentive it was monumentally better when we returned. She was flexible, calm, attentive and professional. Your pets will be in great hands!!!”

About: I have taken care of dogs for quite some time now. I am more than willing to feed, walk, and make sure your pets are comfortable. I work part time so I am available majority of the day. I have more than enough time to spend with your pets and making sure they’re taken care of. I have 2 dogs, 2 cats, and a turtle that I take care of. I crate my 2 dogs at night so I am more than willing to do that with your pets if necessary.

“Nadia is a god send, she is so sweet. She has a wide knowledge base for different types of personailities, communicated with me daily and was happy to give updates. The pups loved her. Nadia followed all instructions to a tee. Reasonable fees, on time, trustworthy, and kept my house clean. Would definitely recommend Nadia.”

“Nichole put at complete ease when we left our pups to go out of town. She was kind, caring, and incredibly responsive. Our dogs were snuggled up within a few days which speaks wonders - they barely cuddle with us! We received updates and photos so we knew the whole time we were gone they were being cared for and loved.”

Bethany A.

“Chanelle took great care of our three dogs and our home. I would definitely recommend her!”

Terri G.

“Grace is sweet, kind, patient and dependable. My pup was super shy but after a few days they were best buds! Plus she sends adorable pol photos!”

About: I just recently dog sat at a family friends house for a weekend, and I played with her, went outside with her and just made sure she felt loved. She also loves to cuddle, so we cuddled on the couch together. I have open availability right now, as I am a recent college graduate and will have plenty of time to play with and take care of your pet(s)! I am able to play with your pet, and I can give them their food or medication they may need. I can also take them on walks within the area to give them some exercise!

About: Hi, I’m Kate! I actively foster rescue dogs through the San Marcos Regional Animal Shelter (SMRAS) and have previously fostered with BARC Animal Shelter in Houston. I have a special place in my heart for pitties and rescue dogs, but I love dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities. Whether your dog wants to play fetch for hours, nap on the couch, follow me from room to room, or pretend they’ve never been fed a day in their life, I’m happy to adapt to their routine and needs. Fair warning: you may receive an unreasonable number of pet photos. P.S. 🤭 If your pet is a little outside the norm, feel free to ask! I’ve also cared for rabbits, horses, leopard geckos, and bearded dragons. My days already revolve around animals. Between fostering rescue dogs and pet sitting, your pet won’t be squeezed into my schedule—they’ll be a part of it, too. I care deeply about the pets in my care and work hard to earn both their trust and yours every step of the way, always.

“Brandy responded to a very last minute request for my sick kitty which I appreciated. She followed the directions and was very communicative. She took care of my kitty and I felt at ease that she was in good hands.”
