Personalized care for your dog or cat - Houston
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Houston
“Ok, so I was skeptical at first, having always used Hounds Hideaway, in loving my dog with strangers. From the first message Mandy and her husband were awesome. Did a pre meet and greet to make sure everyone and dog were comparable and BAM, they were amazing. They took great care of our dog and sent updates and photos which kept my wife and daughter happy. I am so going to sue them again, they let Winter into their home as if she had already been living there!”
“My puppy Thunder is a handful and being a Ridgeback still needs a lot of work. I appreciated Christina's professional guidance on how to continue to train him. It helped him out to be at her house and under her care.”
“Leisha and Elijah have kept our two big boys twice for us now and do an amazing job! They’re great with communication, and their family gives the pups all the love they could ask for. I love knowing they’re in good hands when we have to leave them behind!”
“Samantha & her family cared for Rosie so well, like she was part of the family! Rosie has a lot of energy and their family and their own dog have Rosie so much attention and opportunity to play! They were so kind and great with communication and flexibility. Rosie will miss her puppy friend Jetta and their family! Would definitely recommend:)”
“Madison & Isiaih have done great boarding my dog. They send pictures and videos of my dog’s activities and that gives me peace of mind knowing that my Louie is in good hands .”
“Marci is great! I’m a travel nurse and I got stuck at work a snowstorm. Marci was super accommodating and my pups were well cared for while I was away. Thanks!”
“We were nervous to leave our dog since we had just moved to the area, but Bonnie took such good care of him and sent us updates with pictures to let us know how he was doing! We are very appreciative to Bonnie for how she cares for our dog and we will definitely request her for boarding or daycare services again!”
About: As a Vet Tech student, I provide expert care for dogs. My five-year-old mix, Stormy, and I love adventures and ensuring every pet feels safe, healthy, and happy. I offer full-time care every day. I prefer morning and evening sessions to keep dogs cool and safe from the heat, ensuring your pet stays active and comfortable. I live in a first-floor apartment with a fenced yard. Your pet will enjoy a dedicated room to roam free and relax comfortably without any cages.
“Charlene and Felix were wonderful with my extra scared puppy. They provided warm and loving care with lots of pictures and videos. I would definitely feel comfortable using them again.”
“Stephanie and family treated our babies as their own. Every time we got a picture, they looked very comfortable and loved. Would definitely take them back.”
“A week is a long time for our dog to be away from us, but knowing he is safe and well taken care of by Jackie makes it so much easier. Jackie is so great with dogs and I really appreciated the updates about our pooch while we are away. Thank you for going above and beyond! Much love from our Henry too!”
“Truly appreciative of them taking care of my fur babies…took pics of them everyday and keep me informed of how they were doing…definitely would recommend 😊”
“William was excellent with Buster and Felicia. We had a meet and greet before boarding to make sure everything is in order. He was very responsive and I felt safe leaving my two dogs with him.”
About: What sets me apart is that I focus on helping pets feel safe, comfortable, and part of the household while their owners are away. I have experience caring for both younger and older dogs, including pets that need a calmer environment, extra patience, or more frequent bathroom breaks. I try to keep pets on a consistent routine and pay attention to their behavior, comfort, and energy level so I can adjust care to their needs. I also understand how important communication is for pet parents, so I provide regular updates, photos, and short videos during their stay. Pets in my care are treated with kindness, supervision, and respect. I aim to create a calm environment where they can relax and feel secure rather than stressed or isolated. I structure my schedule to ensure pets are never left alone many hours at a time. I make it a priority to ensure pets are fed, visited regularly, given plenty of attention, and made to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their parents are away I treat pets like part of the family and work to help them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they are in my care. In my home, pets are welcome in the common living areas so they can feel relaxed and included. I have a large backyard for supervised outdoor time and provide regular walks, playtime, attention, and companionship throughout the day based on each pet’s needs and routine.
“Christian, Ruth and there 2 children are the nicest people and they took good care of my 2 dogs for an overnight stay. They live on a dirt road surrounded by woods and have a small farm of chickens, bunnies, and goats. They took the dogs out several times for walks in the woods near there home. They have a fenced in area in the back for the dogs as well. It just a really nice environment for my fur kids to be while I'm gone. Plus Ruth sends lots of pics and videos! We will definitely be using them in the future!”

“Miranda was great with my cat Houdini. She regularly kept me posted via text or by phone during my 2 day vacation. I'll definitely be requesting her as a pet sitter in the future! Thank you Miranda for keeping a nervous mama calm 😁”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I’ve taken care of several dogs of varying age, size, energy levels, and shyness. Also have experience with chickens, goats, and pigs and how dogs interact with changes in their environment. I’m free most days, everything that I need to do is on my computer and can be done anytime and anywhere. I’m flexible and can fit into most clients’ schedule. I let them out when they want out, play when they want to play, and clean up any mess so that the client comes back to a just as clean or cleaner house and pets
“Lisa is an absolutely Wonderful sitter. She took care of my two cats for a couple of weeks and went above and beyond what I ever would have expected her to do! She stayed in contact every visit and sent some cute videos and pics. I would HIGHLY recommend Lisa for any of your pet sitting needs! =)”
“Renee was so good with my cat. She went above and beyond in every area. She updated us regularly and made sure that our cat was well-cared for and happy. Renee is a terrific person and will be my go-to sitter when I need someone to take care of our pet in the future. I highly suggest that you consider contacting her if you are in need of pet-sitting services. Garfield will see you again soon, Renee!!!!”
About: I am very passionate about animals and I absolutely love dogs and cats. I have grown up around dogs all my life, and I got my first dog at 16. I have been taking care of my fur baby Max ever since. I understand that being away can be tough on both pets and their owners, but my goal is to make the experience as stress-free as possible for you and your pets. Before pet sitting on Rover, I worked with children of all ages at a daycare. I am currently a medical scribe and full time college student. My services include checking on pets at your home and walking while on their stay. While you are away, I will send you daily updates and pictures of your fur babies to give you peace of mind.I usually care for animals in the comfort of their own home, and I make it a priority to gather all the necessary information to ensure that your pet experiences minimal disruption to their routine. I am currently a college student and scribe. I will typically be free after 11 am on most day during the week. I will be free on most weekends after 9 am. Before booking, I like to get a good understanding of your dog's behavior. Please let me know if your pet has any aggression (toward food, toys, etc.), unique quirks, or separation anxiety that makes it difficult for them to be left alone. It's also important to understand how your dog reacts to other dogs, in case of any unexpected encounters during walks. I’d love to meet your dog while you're present to gather as many details as possible about their daily routine. This helps me ensure minimal disruption while you're away. I will treat your pet like my own and I prefer written instructions to maintain their regular schedule. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pet is in good hands. If your pet has any special needs or behaviors, please let me know. For example, if they have an anxiety jacket for thunderstorms, please share where I can find it, along with any other items I might need to care for them properly.
“Charsy did a wonderful job caring for our beloved cats while we were away on a family vacation. She sent tons of adorable updates and gave us info on what our cats were up to while we were on vacation. Charsy sent tons of fantastic pictures and I could tell the kitties were being loved while we were gone.”
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life, we’ve always had 4 legged fluff balls included in my family. I currently have a boxer/catahoula mix whose name is Apollo but I call him derp, he’s the best thing since sliced bread. I’ve only been dog/house sitting for about 3ish years as my friends and even regulars at the bar I work at have asked me to sit for them. My parents also work at hounds hideaway that has a vet built in so if anything were to happen all it would take is a phone call and we’d be set! Rest assured, your baby is in good hands. My schedule is currently open to do drop ins anytime of the day and to house sit. I’m currently waiting on my new job to give me hours and I will keep this updated. My Apollo is 8 years old so he’s a lil bit of an old man and is typically pretty lazy, but I take him for lots of walks and spoil him with treats and luvins. I even tuck him in with a blanket every night.
“Katie did drop-in visits for our cats. She was quick to answer questions prior to booking, and her daily updates kept me at ease while on vacation. I would definitely book her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets with care. I’m a football player at UCA, so my schedule stays structured and consistent. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting around practices and weekends. I care for pets in their own homes, making sure they feel safe and comfortable in their familiar space. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully and treat every home with respect.
“Lexi is always my go to! My daughter and I have both used her for years and she is outstanding! She loves animals and always sends pics and texts. Her level of customer service goes way and above what anyone would expect!”
“Linda was just absolutely amazing!!! She went above and beyond in every instance. She spent time with Niah and brought her bandana’s and played ball with her. We felt so at ease having her taking care of our little fur babies!! Thank you Linda!!!”
About: I have cared for my own dog for the past 3 years, she is a pitbull so I am good with dogs of all breeds and most importantly strength! I have taken care of all dogs of all ages. I get off work fairly early and I am off on the weekends so I like to keep myself busy, I think the best way to stay busy is to do something you enjoy and animals bring me happiness. My dog always have water and would spend at least 1-2 hours a day outside. When I watch other peoples dogs I make sure they have water and spend a little time outside to play and run around.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Houston
About: Caring for animals is my life’s passion and my favorite thing to do. I make sure every animal I meet feels loved. The time I spend with animals is very therapeutic for me. I have 4 years of experience with animal care! I started off with one neighbor who needed me to drop in and check on her dogs. I fell in love and I have been doing this ever since. I am always looking for new opportunities to bond with pets. I can easily match their energy to cater to their needs. I will play, rub, or provide outside time as long as they want. If needed I can help with training basic commands. I also have experience administering oral and injected medication with dogs and cats. I have a very open schedule so I am very flexible with timing. I love caring for and being in the presence animals so I will try my best to accommodate your schedule. I pay attention to what animals are trying to communicate with me whether they are anxious or just want their own space. Animals can sense that they can trust me and trust goes a long way when caring for them. I am very careful and cautious. Safety is my top priority.
“Hoss had a wonderful Time at Leisha’s. She was so thoughtful and made me feel so comfortable about my dogs stay with her. I’m booking her for more days right now!!!”
“Maru is fantastic. She texts lots of pictures of your pet throughout their stay. As a first time Rover user, this helped calm any nerves I had. I have already booked her again for my next vacation.”
“Samantha & Matthew was awesome! Despite of slight schedule change, they took very good care of our dogs for my old parents taking to vet. I 100% recommend and hopefully can work with them again.”

About: Me and my wife Anna love animals - we both grew up with several dogs, and we currently have chickens :) We’re very active and would love to have your pet join either me or Anna for walks, hikes, or a game of fetch! Our schedules are flexible, and at least one of us would always be available whenever you need our services. Another great thing about choosing us is that we don’t currently have any pets in the house. If you’re looking for a peaceful temporary home for your pet where they will get plenty of individual attention, we’d be a great fit! We are very flexible and can fit you in at any time! Though it's worth mentioning that we go to bed quite early, so the latest walk we could schedule would be around 5-6pm. We really think the key to a happy pet is just going with their natural rhythm. If they’ve got energy and want to play, great - walks, toys, all the fun stuff! If they’re resting in a sunny spot and just want to relax, that’s cool too. And of course, we always listen to the owners; you know your pet better than anyone, and we follow your lead :)
About: I’m a veterinary nursing student with experience caring for dogs & cats of all ages, shapes, & sizes. I grew up around dogs & have two of my own now. Since high school, I’ve had two cats as well—both of which I raised from kitten age. I’m experienced in puppy training, senior care, post-surgery care, as well as administering medications (including injections). I can provide references if needed! I’m an online student so my schedule is highly flexible. I’m available any day/time of the week right now. Feel free to message me for questions on my availability! The safety of your pet and home is my top priority! I can easily crate your dog(s) if needed & will always be sure to secure your home when I leave. I’ll also check-in with you during my time with your pet & send photo/video updates.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, and caring for them has been a natural part of who I am. I have experience with pups of all ages, including senior dogs who need a little extra attention. I’m comfortable helping with medications, mobility support, and the slow, gentle care older dogs deserve. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or in their golden years, I’m committed to keeping them comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away! I’m currently a college student with a very flexible schedule, which makes pet care easy to fit into my routine. I’m available most afternoons and evenings, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual schedule to keep things stress free. I prioritize safety and comfort in every home. I follow your pet’s usual routines, keep a close eye on doors and surroundings, and make sure they have a secure space. Whether I’m in your home or mine, pets get careful supervision, consistency, and plenty of attention.
“My sweet pup was returned to me very relaxed and content. Scout sent me photos throughout the day of how he was interacting with the other animals and her kids, which I loved. She is very approachable and easy to work with and I will definitely be using her for daycare again.”

About: I've always been a dog lover! Love a super clingy couch potatoe more than anything but high energy is also welcomed as i have an all in one doggo myself. I'm a calm, easy going dog owner and your pets will be loved and in good hands. I am currently a stay at home mom and spend most of my days at home. My dog gets let out 4-5 times a day and fed and water refreshed twice and I could put your babies on his schedule or I can tweak my day if there are any specific needs for your fur baby! I completely understand that not all dogs are the same.. mine is very complicated in his own way but we are there for him when he needs us to be and that applies to your babies as well! I will take extra time to pay attention to the details in your instructions on how to care for your babies because things go more smoothly that way! Not to mention their care being my top priority when visiting your home and especially caring for them in my own home.
About: I have been a familiar face to many families and their animals for eight years as a nanny. I've also always had a furry friend in my own home! I enjoy taking dogs on walks, being lazy with cats, and caring for them in between. I would love to help you out by taking care of your animals when needed. A weekend a way, or a mid day check in while you're at work. Your pets will be in good hands with me. Thank you! Checking in on your fur babies during the day and weekends are no problem at all! Reach out with any questions or concerns regarding your pets. I would prefer to keep an eye on your fur babies in the comfort of their home! Having their parents gone is already stressful enough, much less switching up the environment.

About: I have owned animals since I was a small child, now grown I have a house full of pets that I call my own. I often pet sit for friends and family. Animals need to feel safe and cared and I will strive to bring those to your home each visit. I have experience across the spectrum of animals and all stages of life from needy pups to the "grumpy" ole men and woman. I also have experience providing oral medications. I'm currently available for pet care services throughout the day. I am available 7 am - 3:30 pm Monday - Thursday, 9 am - 10 pm Friday - Sunday. I will not be providing boarding services in my home but I am able to visit your home as much as necessary to take care of your pets, including in home visits. I have 3 kids and a husband who may assist in the visits but will never be the primary care giver to the animals. My kids have taken after me and love helping and meeting new animals. If you would not like the extra help please let me know and I will not bring them.
“This was my first time using Rover and it was a great experience. Charsy is such a nice and sweet person. Our dog looked so happy after the walks. She always kept me updated and made the experience to be a 10/10. She treated our dog so good and with a lot of kindness.”
About: I am a stay at home mom so, I can do checkins an potty time while you are at work. I have a pretty open availablity. I can do extra lovins while you are on vacation or out of town for work. I currently have 2 big dogs and a bird, I have had cats as well. I am ok with snakes and reptiles, just no spider type pets please. I love working with animals. My doggos are a bit older and both rescues. I have no problems dealing with medical issues and accidents. I have always had animals as long as I can remember, I can't imagine coming home to clean wintows and no happy wiggles and barks. I would treat your babies like mine. I am at home most days and rarely travel. I live in Morrilton but I am in Conway frequently. I have worked as an elderly care giver and had animals my whole life. I have a very nurturing spirit. I haven't met an animal I don't like. My kids get embarrased when I talk to animals I do not know as we walk down the street. I can't help it, it's the look in their eyes. They want lovins and I am a sucker for big floppy wiggles and waggs. I would be happy to care for your pets in your home. Caring for pets in my home is not an option at this time. We rescued a doggo from a dog fighting situation and have been able to get him ok with most people and our other dog, however he is not ready to make friends with other animals just yet.
About: I have owned 3 dogs and 3 cats. I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I have dog and cat sat many times for friends and family and hope to get to know your pets. I’ve had experience with a sick pet when I took care of my dog Layla, before her unfortunate passing. I hope to get to know your pets and increase my experience. I love and adore all different pet personalities and would like to get introduced to your pets before taking care of them. So both you and your companion know they are in good hands. I’m currently preparing for college and running a small business crocheting and selling small crafts. Which makes me very flexible on time. I’m free all summer. My home is unavailable for pet sitting, but I would be happy to take care of your pets in a place that is comfortable for them. I understand pets need lots of space and will make sure to give your pets the opportunity to get to know me within their own boundaries.
About: Hi! I’m a grad student and lifelong pet owner who really misses my dogs back home. I’ve raised and cared for dogs most of my life, including my current Labradoodle and Australian Shepherd. We got my labradoodle as a puppy and he is now 4. My Aussie was a traumatized rescue that I helped rehabilitate into a well-adjusted dog. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’m reliable, attentive, and will treat your pet like my own! I am currently a grad student who attends class in the mornings and early afternoons Monday through Thursdays. I can take care of your pet before 8 am and after 3 pm on those days. I am available at all times on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Since I focus on walks and drop-in visits, I prioritize keeping pets comfortable in their own environment and sticking to their usual routine. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, medications, and any specific needs. During visits, I make sure they have fresh water, a safe space, and plenty of attention. On walks, I make sure dogs are securely leashed at all times, avoid unsafe situations, and pay close attention to their behavior and comfort level. I’m very respectful of clients’ homes and will always make sure everything is left secure and just as I found it.

About: I’ve taken care of my family’s dogs for years, and I have two of my own—so I get it. I’m super dependable, really patient, and honestly just love being around animals. I care about doing things right and making sure every dog feels safe and happy. Right now I don’t have much going on, so I’m super flexible and can fit pet care in pretty much anytime. I’m taking a class, but I can work that around whatever schedule is needed. I don’t have a fenced yard, just being honest, but my dogs are super friendly and love other dogs. I can crate your dog if needed or keep them separate—we have a whole downstairs area I can stay in with them if that’s more comfortable. I’m also happy to take them on walks as often as needed to make sure they get plenty of exercise and attention.

About: I’ve owned various dogs and cared for many different animals all of my life. I also studied Animals Science and have a strong passion for animals and their well being. With the season slowing down over the summer I will be very available. I am also interested in staying active and in shape which is why I believe this is a perfect fit for me right now. When in a client’s home I will follow the exact instructions given to me and make sure to not disrupt anything in their homes. I am solely focused on caring for the animal and making sure they are safe and well.
About: I’m not sure if I have more or less skills but I’ll always try. I have tons of patience and care for animals so even if my skills are the best I think I’ll do great.

About: Just call me the “animal whisperer.” I’ve been caring for all breeds and sizes since the moment I could walk. My compassion for animals doesn’t end with my own furbabies, it multiplies so that I can provide the same royal treatment to others like I do for mine: I provide pet care as my full time passion at the moment. My availability is open and flexible, and I can even be contacted on short notice for holidays or emergencies. I treat all animals as if they’re my own. I currently am available to board or provide doggie daycare in my own home for one pet at a time, as well as drop in visits, dog walking, and part time house sitting if needed!
About: I’ve taken care of animals for parents & friends since I was young. As a personal trainer I love being active and why not help other pet owners out with care and getting their pet some of the physical activity they need. My dog can only take so many walks 😂. I am currently working a full-time a fitness director at a local university but am available during the morning hours before work and evenings after work. Available for entire weekends and can stay over the weekends. I will follow any specific instructions you have regarding your pet, but can provide, walks, baths and playtime or just chill time and company if that’s what your pet prefers. Just like humans pets have their own personalities. 😁

I have an hour lunch break I go home for at 11:45 daily. This allows me to let pets out frequently! I have a backyard (unfenced) and a quite nice neighborhood I can give plenty of walks in. I allow pets to run freely in my home and they are aloud on furniture!
About: I have taken care of multiple different types of dogs and cats. I have taken care of a husky/german shepard puppy from 2 months old to present day. I’ve also watched neighbors dogs and house sat for one of my friends while they at the beach. I love animals and would love to take care of yours! I am currently in college at UCA and my schedule is pretty flexible! I do have class for a couple hours a day and then have nothing to do except focus on your fur babies! I have a fur baby at home who loves friends of any kind! We could all go on walks together and I could take them to the dog park! I love all animals and would love to take care of yours!

“Ok, so I was skeptical at first, having always used Hounds Hideaway, in loving my dog with strangers. From the first message Mandy and her husband were awesome. Did a pre meet and greet to make sure everyone and dog were comparable and BAM, they were amazing. They took great care of our dog and sent updates and photos which kept my wife and daughter happy. I am so going to sue them again, they let Winter into their home as if she had already been living there!”
“My puppy Thunder is a handful and being a Ridgeback still needs a lot of work. I appreciated Christina's professional guidance on how to continue to train him. It helped him out to be at her house and under her care.”
“Leisha and Elijah have kept our two big boys twice for us now and do an amazing job! They’re great with communication, and their family gives the pups all the love they could ask for. I love knowing they’re in good hands when we have to leave them behind!”
“Samantha & her family cared for Rosie so well, like she was part of the family! Rosie has a lot of energy and their family and their own dog have Rosie so much attention and opportunity to play! They were so kind and great with communication and flexibility. Rosie will miss her puppy friend Jetta and their family! Would definitely recommend:)”
“Marci is great! I’m a travel nurse and I got stuck at work a snowstorm. Marci was super accommodating and my pups were well cared for while I was away. Thanks!”
“We were nervous to leave our dog since we had just moved to the area, but Bonnie took such good care of him and sent us updates with pictures to let us know how he was doing! We are very appreciative to Bonnie for how she cares for our dog and we will definitely request her for boarding or daycare services again!”
About: As a Vet Tech student, I provide expert care for dogs. My five-year-old mix, Stormy, and I love adventures and ensuring every pet feels safe, healthy, and happy. I offer full-time care every day. I prefer morning and evening sessions to keep dogs cool and safe from the heat, ensuring your pet stays active and comfortable. I live in a first-floor apartment with a fenced yard. Your pet will enjoy a dedicated room to roam free and relax comfortably without any cages.
“Maru was so wonderful and sweet to my dog, Titan. She made sure he was comfortable and sent lots of updates and photos. With 3 dogs herself she is obviously a big dog lover. I felt at ease leaving Titan with Maru and would book with her again in the future.”
“Charlene and Felix were wonderful with my extra scared puppy. They provided warm and loving care with lots of pictures and videos. I would definitely feel comfortable using them again.”
“Dawn and her husband were absolutely outstanding. Very nice people and made Pepper feel like she was at home. I never had any worries about leaving my dog with them for the week. They treated her like she was their very own. It made my trip better just knowing that she was in great care. Dawn updated me every day with pictures and kept me informed on how she was doing. I highly recommend them and will definitely reach out to her if and when I need a dog sitter. A+”
“A week is a long time for our dog to be away from us, but knowing he is safe and well taken care of by Jackie makes it so much easier. Jackie is so great with dogs and I really appreciated the updates about our pooch while we are away. Thank you for going above and beyond! Much love from our Henry too!”
“Truly appreciative of them taking care of my fur babies…took pics of them everyday and keep me informed of how they were doing…definitely would recommend 😊”
“William was excellent with Buster and Felicia. We had a meet and greet before boarding to make sure everything is in order. He was very responsive and I felt safe leaving my two dogs with him.”
“Very good experience. My dog can’t talk but, looks like he enjoyed it at her place. Very well informed about him so, we didn’t have to worry much. This was my first time leaving him with a sitter. I always used boarding facilities. I think this is better for him instead of sitting in a kennel all the time. I would definitely go to her again if we need.”
About: What sets me apart is that I focus on helping pets feel safe, comfortable, and part of the household while their owners are away. I have experience caring for both younger and older dogs, including pets that need a calmer environment, extra patience, or more frequent bathroom breaks. I try to keep pets on a consistent routine and pay attention to their behavior, comfort, and energy level so I can adjust care to their needs. I also understand how important communication is for pet parents, so I provide regular updates, photos, and short videos during their stay. Pets in my care are treated with kindness, supervision, and respect. I aim to create a calm environment where they can relax and feel secure rather than stressed or isolated. I structure my schedule to ensure pets are never left alone many hours at a time. I make it a priority to ensure pets are fed, visited regularly, given plenty of attention, and made to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their parents are away I treat pets like part of the family and work to help them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they are in my care. In my home, pets are welcome in the common living areas so they can feel relaxed and included. I have a large backyard for supervised outdoor time and provide regular walks, playtime, attention, and companionship throughout the day based on each pet’s needs and routine.
“The most amazing person to leave your baby with. My girl was in such good hands and loved her playmate. Will 100% be using her again! The videos and updates gave me such peace of mind.”
“Joanne is cream of the crop. I get lots of pics and updates, Wynne has the time of her life, and Joanne loves Wynne! I feel safe and comfortable leaving Wynne with Joanne. We have booked with her many times before”
