“I can not say enough great things about Wendy. This was my first time leaving my Millie with someone or even being away from her for longer then 2 days and Wendy made it so easy for me. I had so much peace knowing she was caring for my dog. She sent me pictures, videos, and updates consistently. It made me feel so good knowing she was in such great hands. Millie loved being with her. She was even sad leaving her. Wendy is the only one I will ever trust my girl with. Millie loved her and so do I. If you need someone who truly cares and loves pets, Wendy is the one to go with. You will love her. She is kind, patient, and so loving. She has such a welcoming home. Highly recommend!!!!”
“Angela was a pleasure to speak to and she put our family at ease while our pup Ollie was in her care. Correspondence was great before his boarding and she sent plenty of videos and pictures during his 4 night stay. She wanted to know lots of details to make our pup's stay a smooth transition. She took him on walks and played with him a lot too. You can tell she really loves dogs and enjoyed his stay as much as he did! We undoubtedly will use her again and recommend her to anyone needing dog care.”
“Andrea took great care of our two dogs. She has a black lab who gets along with most other dogs. My dogs and hers wore each other out playing in the backyard. I also appreciate that Andrea or her husband are at home during the day.”
“I can’t even put into words how amazing Amy was. She didn’t even hesitate when I told her we had a puppy. She was so patient and kind and checked in several times a day with an update and pictures. I felt like I had dropped him off at family’s! Her house is set up so perfectly for accommodating anything we needed and she just went above and beyond. Seriously, she put my mind so at ease and left me with no worries. That was priceless.”
“Lori was great with Trooper. Normally, Trooper is shy, but Trooper became a friend with Lori and enjoyed his time with her. I highly recommend her and I’ll be referring her and River to my friends.”
“Ariel took excellent care of my Bailey, so glad to have made the connection. I appreciated Ariel for sending pictures and updates without asking, definitely made me feel comfortable knowing he was in great hands and will book again!!”
“Silvia Emilee and Jose were the best sitters that I have used. They sent pictures every day. They made sure the pups were played with and were happy. They had a beautiful backyard and a nice room that they keep the puppies to sleep in and they’re two dogs. I can honestly say it’s the first time that I have felt comfortable leaving my dogs for so long they treat them like family highly recommend recommend this sitter in Pearland Texas.”
“Leon took care my dog for more than one week when flew out of country. My dog was very happy with him and I will definitely use his dog boarding service again”
“This was my dog, Maui’s first board with Keliann! She had set up a meet and greet with Maui and asked questions about him to get to know him! Keliann communicated well throughout the visit & he came back very happy! Keliann is very knowledgeable about dogs, dog behavior , etc. She is awesome & I will definitely be taking Maui to her again in the future!”
About: I've taken care of all kinds of dogs since I was 11. I grew up with a lab/springer mix who had a lot of energy. I currently have a rambunctious 6-year-old hound dog. I'm patient and kind with all dogs and have lots of experience walking different types of dogs (even ones that pull on leash). I'm currently a full-time graduate student, but my schedule is very flexible in that I set my own hours. I can make any time work to accommodate you and your pet! I can feed your dog, walk them, administer medication, and crate them. If you have a fenced in backyard, I can play with them outside and supervise them.
“I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to watch over my dogs! Desiree was super responsive, kept me updated, and even sent me daily pics of my dogs. I could tell they were well taken care of and will definitely be booking again”
“Our first time using Rover and leaving our Sadie for a long period of time! Michelle was AMAZING!!! She sent pictures of Sadie all week and updates to calm my nerves while we were away! Sadie had the best time and could tell she was well taken care of and loved while we were away! My heart was at ease while in Michelle’s home/care! Thank you for such a wonderful experience!!! You were a blessing!”

“Kristen has been wonderful and godsend for our cats! This was our first experience with care at home and we are sold to the idea! No more loneliness at the boarding place. Kristen was very punctual, professional and caring. She was prompt in reporting any changes and posted daily pictures and overall it was a fantastic experience with cat care at home and we look forward to using the service whenever we need to leave town next time.”
“Dana was very attentive. She even brought in the mail. I could tell from the pics she sent that my kitty was calm and relaxed with her. I will definitely schedule her again!”
“Madeline was a great sitter. She watched my cat and rabbit for 3 days and was perfect! I told her all she needed to do was feed them but she went out of her way every single visit to sit on the floor with my babies and make them feel loved. The care she gave them was excellent I could not recommend her enough.”
“Jesika did a great job taking care of my two kitties. She was very easy to communicate with and was very detailed and thorough. I appreciated the pictures she sent and my cats were doing great when I came back!”
“Alexis was amazing!!! She stayed in contact the whole week and gave me so many updates about Helix. She sent lots of photos, and I could tell he liked having her visit. Cannot recommend her enough!”
“Holly did a great job cat sitting! She was very responsive and concerned with providing the best care possible, and I felt very safe leaving her to watch over my cat! 10/10 would book again”
“Paige is a very nice person and so is her husband. From what I have experienced, she truly does love taking care of animals. My little lady took to her right away. I initially had hired Paige to house/pet sit for me but unfortunately had to cancel and she was very understanding and accommodating, which I really appreciated. I was also impressed with how prepared she was to ask all the right questions to prepare for the job. I have used her since and was nice to feel comfortable leaving my girl in her care. Highly recommend!”
“This was our first time to use Wendy and she is wonderful. She is so sweet with our cats. She sent several great pictures and went beyond to put our mail and packages on the porch. She's a keeper.”
“Cierra was great! She accepted a last minute request to check in on my pups and did an excellent job making sure they were happy and cared for. Very happy with her sitting services!!!”
About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I’ve personally owned and cared for dogs continuously since my college days. I understand that every dog has a different personality, routine, comfort level, and way of communicating—and I genuinely enjoy getting to know them. While I’m new to caring for pets professionally, I bring decades of hands-on experience as a dog owner, along with the reliability, patience, and good judgment that come from a lifetime of caring for animals. Whether your dog needs a good walk, a little playtime, a meal and fresh water, or simply some company while you’re away, I’ll care for them with the same attention and kindness I’d want for my own. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet—and your home—in someone else’s care. I take that responsibility seriously, and I’ll make sure you know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. I am retired, and looking for positive ways to help my neighbors. My standard availability to care for your special family members falls on any day of the week. Reach out to see what we can set up. In your home, I’ll respect your dog’s normal routine and follow your instructions closely, from feeding and medications to walks, playtime, and household rules. I’ll make safety a priority by keeping doors, gates, leashes, and surroundings secure and never putting your dog in an unfamiliar situation without your approval. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own and keep you updated so you can feel comfortable knowing your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Tessa thank you so much for always taking care of Benny. He loves you! We appreciate the updates and cutest pictures you send. For anyone reading this, 100% recommend Tessa. She is THE BEST.”
“Sara was awesome! Our cats took to her immediately and they enjoyed every minute she was at our home. She went out of her way to make sure our cats were taken care of and more. We would certainly book with Sara again.”
About: I nearly constantly had cats while growing up - our house never felt complete without a cat in it 😺 Until recently, I hadn't had a cat in many years for a variety of reasons and settled for feeding the outdoor cats wherever I lived and rescuing and re-homing any strays. However, I stumbled upon a sweet, stray, tortie kitten last Fall and won her trust. I was able to bring her home and she has wiggled and purred her way into the whole family's hearts 💖 I love cats with my entire heart and will do anything I possibly can to keep them happy, healthy and safe. A neighbor, whom I had never met before, flagged me down Spring of 2024 and asked if I could help her catch a Momma cat and two kittens in her bushes. I took on the job and spent the majority of the day out in the rain catching these babies. Caught the kittens that day and the Momma later on that night and reunited them all at Animal Control the next day. I confirmed beforehand that they had the space for the kitties and for them to please call if they weren't adopted after they were made available. This has been a bit long winded and all over the place, but the point is, I LOVE CATS and I would love to care for your cat or cats while you are away. They will be greatly loved 💖
About: I grew up with cats my whole life. In recent years I’ve rehabilitated two cats & brought them from the brink of death to perfect health. I also have a good amount of experience with different cat-itudes as I used to volunteer with my sister at shelters.
About: I have grown up with animals my whole life and have such a deep love for them. I have had dogs, guinea pigs, and cats of all ages, so I am very experienced in different species. I am here for all your pets needs and am willing to be a helping hand! I am currently a student online for the summer, so I have free time for your pets needs! I am mainly available afternoon and weekends, but can make time during the weekdays! I am able to play, feed, or simply keep them company while your pets stay comfortable in their own space. I am respectful of your home, very clean & organized, and will send updates through out, to ensure you peace of mind of how your pet is doing. No matter the animal, I will treat and care for them like my own.
“Excellent and professional provider. My dog was happy and she followed the schedule. I will be using her again this was so convenient and allowed my elder dog to stay in his home where he is more comfortable.”

About: I have had pets my whole life ranging from cats to birds to fish. I also love dogs and so does my 9 year old daughter and my husband. I have cared for family members, neighbors and friends animals (cats and dogs) for many years. My cat is 19 years old and I have also had to say goodbye to my baby, Daphnie who I had from the time she was a baby until she passed away, and my other baby Willow, who we rescued when we lived in Hawaii and was a part of our family for about 10 years. I am therefore familiar with senior care for animals. I’ve administered oral, topical and iv meds (yes I did that home with one of my cats near the end of her life). I love to walk and run and have always enjoyed taking dogs for a walk when I’ve cared for the pets of others. I have even cared for a few rowdy young dogs that were still in puppy training school. I have been pet sitting on River for about 3 years. I’ve done many drop in visits, boarding and dog walks for my clients. I am currently a home maker so I have a flexible schedule to care for your babies. Most weeks I am able to do mornings, mid day and evenings I have a fenced in yard. I have one cat, who has been around dogs, lived with a dog and is used to the occasional dog being boarded in our home. He is fine with dogs as long as the dogs are calm towards him. I would not be able to host in my home any very young dogs that may want to “play” with my cat as he is older and also has no interest in being friends with a dog. He is very non-aggressive and tends to mostly avoid them whenever I board.
About: Taken care of multiple animals throughout my life. Big backyard, and a lot of love to give. Safe neighborhood for long walks. Can train puppies basic tricks. I have a furry companion of my own, taking care of him is one of my favorite things to do everyday. I always have time to play with him and take a run or walk with him. I have a large fenced yard and an extremely friendly dog. I keep anything that they can ingest out of reach so they can stay safe.
“Beautiful fenced yard. Kids and family dog to play with. Perfect for our Houston Space Center outing. We will definitely use Ashley again if we’re ever in the area :)”

About: Dogs have been part of my life since I got my first pup at age 5, and I’ve been raising and caring for them ever since. Our home includes a 7-year-old mini Frenchie who’s a pro at reading the room - she loves a good play session but also knows when to give other dogs their space. My 3.5-year-old is growing up with the same love for dogs and has learned to respect boundaries and recognize when it’s time to play or give pets their space. Your dog will be treated like family here, with plenty of love, attention, and a calm, dog-savvy household that understands every pup is unique. We have a fenced-in backyard for as much outdoor play your pup may require. I work full time from home with a very flexible schedule, which means I’m around throughout the day to provide attention, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. My routine naturally revolves around my own pup’s needs, so caring for your dog fits seamlessly into our daily flow. Whether it’s morning walks, midday play sessions, or just hanging out together while I work, your dog will have consistent supervision and plenty of quality time. We have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and explore. My 20-pound mini Frenchie is always up for a playmate when the vibe is right, but she’s equally content to let other pups do their own thing. For peace of mind, we’re just 8 minutes from the nearest emergency vet, so immediate care is readily accessible if ever needed.

About: ***I did just have a baby so I may not be taking certain bookings for reasons such as distance, time, and whether the animal is friendly with children. Thank you!!*** Hi there! I'm Paige, and my passion for animals has been with me for as long as I can remember. I've always been the one to befriend any creature, big or small – yes, even bugs! Over the years, I've been entrusted with the care of friends' beloved pets, and I've relished getting to know each one's unique personality. My experience is extensive, having worked in two reputable kennels and a lively doggie daycare. On top of that, I have regularly volunteered at a local farm, so I'm no stranger to getting my hands dirty in the name of furry friends. When you choose me, you're not just getting a pet sitter – you're getting someone who will go the extra mile to understand and meet your pet's needs. Your furry family member will feel right at home with me. Let's create a pawsitive experience for your pet together!

My approach to pet care varies depending on the setting. When it comes to walking dogs, whether it's in my home or at a client's place, I prefer taking leisurely strolls around the block. My top priority is ensuring the comfort and happiness of my furry companions, both at home and with clients. I'm committed to going the extra mile to provide exceptional care for your beloved pets, just as I do for my own.
About: I take on caring for sweet puppers in my spare time. I am a stay-at-home-mom to three sweet boys, 6 and under, and we love to play with pups and go on walks with them 💖 My partner, Travis, will help care for your furry friend if I must run an errand while your dog stays with us, but I will be the primary caregiver. It is very rare that we are all out of the home at the same time, and if so, it is never for long. I am comfortable administering medication as needed. I can care for any breed, however, some I cannot watch in my own home. I love tiny floofs, big lap dogs and everything in between. I have had a number of pets throughout my life and have loved every second of being around them. Pets are an important part to any family, big or small, and we look forward to looking after your pups and ensuring a safe, loving environment for them to thrive in while you are away. Thank you for your time, I look forward to hearing from you and your pup! 💖 -Tara I am currently a stay-at-home-mom to three boys, 6 and under, so I am almost always home to hang out with kids and pups! The boys LOVE to go for walks, so we have no shortage of outside time - weather permitting. Pups receive regular walks, water breaks and lots of love and pets. We will pay careful attention to things owners mention like putting trash cans high-up and keeping our furry friends away from other dogs.
About: I have had animals my entire life from cats and dogs to horses and goats. I work in healthcare and can follow diet and medication instructions easily. I am currently available everyday. I can sit late afternoons or evenings as well. I also do overnights and weekends. If you need drop-ins or walks I can arrange that too. I have a 4 acre yard including a large fenced in area and also a smaller kennel area if needed for outside animals. Inside animals are welcome as I have an extra room with bedding, toys, leashes, and crates. If your animal does not use a crate for sleep that is fine also. They can sleep on their bed or pillow in the common area.
About: I grew up helping take care of the family pets; we had cats, dogs, fish, & rabbits! I’ve always loved taking care of pets and will never say no to an opportunity to meet new ones :) I have experience taking care of: cats, dogs, fish, turtles, rabbits, ferrets, guinea pigs, & hamsters. I have experience medicating, feeding, and basic grooming. I routinely check for potential hazards and remove them from the environment. I’m currently unemployed due to the turbulent job market, so I have all the time in the world to care for your pets. When I’m not home taking care of my own animals, I’m out looking for work or a new place to volunteer. I’m always making sure there’s no choking hazards on my pets toys & making sure their water & food are always topped off. They always get extra love & brushing at the end of the day. (And maybe a couple extra treats if they’ve been good)

About: I’ve been caring for animals, both personally and professionally for more than 30 years. I’ve worked closely with trainers, vets and clients to learn and properly care for a variety of animals and their humans. I am partial to large breeds, but will cuddle and play with all paw sizes. I’m completely comfortable with giving meds, going to vet appointments, special needs, etc. I’m a reliable pet/ house sitter, as I treat both as they’re my own.

Let me help make your life easier and your pets happy I prefer to care for pets in their own home, as it’s far less stressful for them. I treat all pets and homes as if they are my own
About: Animals have always been a passion of mine, and i’ve always found a way to be around them whether it’s volunteering at animal shelters to interning at wildlife refuges. In college I interned at a wildlife center in Texas where I was a caretaker for many exotic species such as ostriches, emus, lynxes, and pheasants, I’ve always been the go to person for taking care of pets within my community. It started with me taking care of my aunt’s dogs while she was away, to my aunt’s neighbor’s dogs, to dogs of my professors, and so on. However, I began to professionally pet sit in 2018 receiving most of my clients through word of mouth. Through moving to New York city, I lost the network that I built back home. Through pet sitting I gained experience for caring for dogs, cats, and even birds. I also have knowledge in caring for animals with special needs and administering medication to animalsof all ages and sizes. I love to play and run around with dogs, so they will definitely be in for a workout! I would love to be able to provide the love and care that your dog needs and deserves while you’re away from home. I’m currently working varied hours, so my schedule can be flexible to your pets! No time is too early for me to rise to ensure that your pet’s routine is maintained. My number one goal is to ensure that your pet is comfortable in their own home. This means maintaining their schedule, reassuring their social needs, and most of all giving them love. I will do safety checks throughout the day to ensure harmful objects are out of reach. As a pet sitter, it’s important to provide a trustworthy and reliable service. While you’re gone, your pet will be undergoing a stressful time. So although you may not be present, it's important that your pet’s day to day life remains the same.During this time they’ll also receive love and nurturing. Communication is key during your time away, so you should expect a daily update on how your pet is doing. Lastly, I only take one client at a time to ensure that I can spend ample time with your pet.

“I cannot recommend Neysha enough! She is SO wonderful and patient with my energetic puppy, Sandy. It was hard to leave Sandy to go back to work, but Neysha made it so much easier. She takes her for walks, runs, to dog park and even gives her a massage to calm her down when needed! If your pet is in need of a kind, knowledgeable, fun companion, Neysha is the right person for you. We just love her.”
About: I have always had great experiences with dogs of all shape and size. From puppy liters to great danes. They all enjoy a good ear rub and belly scratch. I also have a family member that runs a boutique petfood/supply store and gives us all the inside info on the best foods and snacks to feed our fur babies. Pets always get the snacks and head scratches in the morning and evening. I always make sure they get attention and exercise they need for the day. I have fenced in yard, 2 crates available, LG and Med. We have NO CATS, I only host 1 family at a time. Only 2 pups at a time, must meet mine at neutral location: city park/dog Park.

“I can not say enough great things about Wendy. This was my first time leaving my Millie with someone or even being away from her for longer then 2 days and Wendy made it so easy for me. I had so much peace knowing she was caring for my dog. She sent me pictures, videos, and updates consistently. It made me feel so good knowing she was in such great hands. Millie loved being with her. She was even sad leaving her. Wendy is the only one I will ever trust my girl with. Millie loved her and so do I. If you need someone who truly cares and loves pets, Wendy is the one to go with. You will love her. She is kind, patient, and so loving. She has such a welcoming home. Highly recommend!!!!”

“I can’t even put into words how amazing Amy was. She didn’t even hesitate when I told her we had a puppy. She was so patient and kind and checked in several times a day with an update and pictures.

Seriously, she put my mind so at ease and left me with no worries. That was priceless.”

About: I've taken care of all kinds of dogs since I was 11. I grew up with a lab/springer mix who had a lot of energy. I currently have a rambunctious 6-year-old hound dog. I'm patient and kind with all dogs and have lots of experience walking different types of dogs (even ones that pull on leash). I'm currently a full-time graduate student, but my schedule is very flexible in that I set my own hours. I can make any time work to accommodate you and your pet!

Irma assured me that it wasn’t a problem and she was true to her word, everything was perfect! She took care of my Ali like she would her own puppy. She sent me pictures all weekend as well as a report on how he was feeling a couple times a day. I truly appreciate the care she provided and will definitely use her again! Irma is the best! Additionally, her puppy and mine are now #Besties❤️”
