“Shanieka is great!! It was my first time leaving my 5 month old puppy and she made me feel at ease with the video updates and communication throughout his stay. My dog is very high energy and can be a lot to handle but Shanieka embraced him for it, it was apparent that he was very comfortable with her. I will definitely be a returning customer.”
“Ashley is the absolute best! She was so kind and loving to our pets. Her communication is right on time. And when I say she cut my stress level down by at least 95% that is saying something. She’s a miracle. I love her positive attitude and when we picked up our dogs after three weeks with her, they were healthy and happy. And kind of made me sad they didn’t wanna leave her lol but I guess that’s a good thing. I will definitely rebook with her.”
“Rushawn did an amazing job watching Zoey! She kept me updated, took great care of her, and made sure Zoey was comfortable and happy the entire time. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. I would absolutely trust her with Zoey again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you so much, Rushawn!”
“Erika did an amazing job. She communicated with me and informed me of how my fur baby behaved. I’m happy I met her. Hope to book with her whenever my fur baby needs to be watched.”
“Krystal did an amazing job with my dog Penny! She sent photos regularly and was very transparent with messaging and reaching out! 10/10 would recommend again”
“Thank you very much to this amazing experience. My family traveled out of town for spring break and we were nervous for our dog Allie being that it’s her first time away from us. Well Esteban did a fantastic job watching our Allie. Esteban and his family was kind, knowledgeable, and and active with our Allie. It was such a wonderful experience. We can’t wait to book again! Thank you!!”
“Lauren is the best sitter ever. I’m so happy we got a chance to meet you! She took great care of Mazi at such a short notice & was consistent with follow ups throughout the day. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to look after my baby. I highly recommend Lauren for your fur babies ! You won’t be disappointed!”
About: Genuine love for pets. I naturally care for their well-being and love the affection I get from all animals. My family and I have 5 dogs of our own and recently we were adopted by our newly stray cat, Carey. We have been fostering dogs since Thanksgiving of 2017 and we have learned a lot how all pets deserve second chances and how each one of them heals at their own time. My dog walks are tailored to your pet needs, I will focus on the safety of your pet and myself during my service. You can trust that your pet will always be in loving and caring hands. Dog walking would be my primary activity next to my English classes. I will work with you to make sure that your pets needs are met in a timely manner. At home we have a fenced backyard and at my customers' homes I make sure that safety is a priority during my service. That means that I would make sure that your pet is properly secured and that is happy while we are together.

“We had Angelique take care of Zuco for the first time, and we were definitely a bit nervous leaving him with someone new. But Angelique made us feel so comfortable from the very beginning that we would absolutely book with her again anytime she’s available! She sent us 20+ photos every single day, kept Zuco clean and well cared for, and Zuco looked so happy and comfortable when we picked him up. Angelique was extremely responsive, attentive, and truly exceeded all of our expectations. We could tell Zuco was in great hands the entire time. Highly, highly recommend her and we absolutely love her!”
“I cannot thank Justine enough for saving my trip! I had a last minute emergency and needed to board my dog, Penny, immediately. She responded right away and made drop off incredibly easy.

“Thank you so much Laura for taking fantastic care of Benny while we were away! We were super nervous to find a Rover in Houston since we are new to the area but we loved having Laura watch Benny.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine connection I build with animals. I’m not just there to watch your pet. I make sure they feel safe, loved, comfortable, and part of the family while you’re away. I volunteer at pet adoption events and have experience with dogs of different personalities, including shy, anxious, high energy, and senior dogs. Even timid pups usually warm up to me quickly. Pet care is my full-time job, so your pet will get plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. Since I’m home full-time, I’m able to keep a consistent routine with walks, potty breaks, feeding schedules, playtime, cuddles, and check-ins. Pets are rarely left alone and always have someone attentive nearby to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed, whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in their own home. Since I’m home full-time, pets get lots of attention, supervision, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and affection throughout the day.

She rolled with the various changes and was there every day scheduled. The cats warmed up to her, and she did a great job taking care of them. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet care taker.”
About: I’ve spent over 7 years pet sitting, but honestly, I’ve been a pet person my whole life. Having raised multiple pets of my own, I know they aren’t just 'animals', they’re family members with their own quirks and personalities. I’m an active person who loves staying fit, so I’m always happy to take your dogs on long walks to keep them healthy and tuckered out. I am also very mindful when it comes to the details; whether it’s a strict medication schedule or a specific way their food needs to be prepared, I’ve handled it all before and take those responsibilities seriously. Beyond the basics, I have a really soft spot for pets who might be a little anxious or stressed when their humans are away. I’m naturally gentle and patient, so I’m happy to take things at their pace until they feel safe and comfortable. I also make it a point to keep your home tidy and send you plenty of photo updates so you can see exactly how much fun (or how many naps!) your best friend is having while you’re gone I currently work a flexible part-time schedule, which honestly works out perfectly for pet sitting. It gives me plenty of time to focus on your pets during the day. I’m usually wide open for boarding on the weekends and available every weekday after 2pm for walks or drop-ins. Your pet definitely won't be lacking for attention or playtime while they're with me! When I’m staying in a client’s home, I’m a big 'leave it better than I found it' kind of person. I take the trust you’re putting in me seriously, so I’m super diligent about double-checking locks, following alarm codes, and respecting your space. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine exactly the same so they don't get stressed; plus, I’ll make sure the house stays tidy and secure while you’re away.
“This was my first time using Rover and Suzanne was an absolute angel for my cat. Besides doing the basics of scooping the litter and feeding him, she also washed out his bowls when they got dirty. She meticulous and careful and showed my fur baby so much love. 💕”
“Thanks to Brittany I had some peace of mind while traveling, she took such good care of my baby. She had great communication with me and would send me beautiful photos. Will definitely be booking again in the future!”
“Esme, was awesome! My Honey loved her. She showed up on time for all scheduled visits, walked , played with her and made sure she had food and water. She went above and beyond with her service touching base with me every stop of the way and taking greats picks. She will be my go to from now on.”
About: I have been pet sitting for the past 10 years as an odd Job. I would love to help neighbors with their furry friends while they work or on vacation. I live with my own two pups. Tyson and Spicy. They love meeting new friends. I have an open backyard for pets to get fresh air at all times if their stay during the day. I work Thursday- Saturday 9pm-2am. I have open availability other than that ! So your pup will receive a lot of attention from me. I love for them to join me in my morning yoga. As well as my jog. I have two pups as well so I do prefer crates as it’s needed for when I’m away running an errand or out working overnight. I do have one extra crate at the moment. If you prefer no crate. Let me know. I can accommodate as I have an extra bedroom for them to roam. A large backyard with secured exit points they’ll love! Along with puppy pools for those who love splashing.

About: What sets me apart? I bring the same level of care, patience, and attentiveness to pets as I do in my career as a certified caregiver. With experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs, I know how to tailor each visit to your pet’s needs—whether that means house training support, medication reminders, gentle walks, or belly rubs on demand. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. As someone who works flexible hours in caregiving, I’ve built my schedule around helping others—including their furry family members! Whether it’s early morning walks, midday drop-ins, or evening feedings, I always make time to give pets the love and attention they deserve. I offer a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of room to relax and play. Pets get one-on-one attention, regular walks, and tons of cuddles. I only accept a limited number of pets at a time to ensure everyone gets the attention they need. No matter the setting, your pet will be treated like family—with patience, love, and consistency. 🐾💛

“Shanieka did amazing with our boys, our pitty mix can be selective with people but she took the time to allow him to get comfortable. He ended up loving her! So glad to have found someone that treats the boys like their own☺️”
About: As a dedicated and experienced pet sitter I’ve been professionally caring for animals since 2016. With a lifelong love for animals, I bring a wealth of experience to my work, having grown up on a ranch surrounded by an array of animals, including horses, cows, dogs, cats, chickens, geese, ducks, goats and pigs. Also the scary ones snakes and coyotes. My childhood on the ranch instilled in me a deep connection to nature and animals, providing me with hands-on experience in animal care from a very young age (since 3rd grade). As a proud veteran and mother, and this in the economy I’m no stranger to responsibility, patience, and dedication. With my military background it taught me the importance of discipline, attention to detail, and reliable—qualities that shine through in my pet-sitting business. I approach each pet with the same care and attention I give to my own children and pets ensuring that every animal feels safe, comfortable, and loved in my care. I have passion for animals extends beyond the typical pets found on a ranch. Over the years, she has cared for a wide variety of animals, including some in unique circumstances. One of my most remembered experience was raising baby raccoons and a hummingbird while in elementary, (I took them to school so I could feed them on a schedule. I hid them from teachers so I could take care of them) family so I could help them) both of which had been abandoned by their mothers. Nursing these wild animals back to health demonstrated her remarkable patience and compassion, as well as her knowledge of animal behavior and care. Also raised a coy dog which is a dog mixed with coyote. Very brilliant dog but did not like to be locked in a kennel at all! lol This experience gave me a special understanding of the unique needs of different animals, especially those in vulnerable situations. Since beginning her pet-sitting journey in 2016, I have worked hard to build a reputation for being dependable, caring, and knowledgeable. Whether it’s a weekend stay, daily check-ins, or special care for elderly or anxious pets, I approach every job with the same level of commitment and love. My ranch upbringing gave me hands-on skills, while my experiences as a veteran and mother honed my ability to adapt, problem-solve, and provide nurturing care in every situation. With all my animals is not just a pet sitting job. I’m a lifelong animal lover who treats every pet as part of the family sometimes better! lol Whether your pet needs companionship, special care, or just someone to keep them happy and safe while you are on vacation or have to handle business out of town, you can rest assured I will provide a kind, warm, and secure environment for all fur babies that come to stay with me! I work remotely. I have nothing but time and I love animals so it’s a win win for me. There is a huge park 2 miles away from house that the puppies will love!! If you book with me and look up my address on google it may not show a house as it’s a new construction or sometimes it pulls the house up next door. My house is the blue and white newly constructed with a golf cart in front. I care for my animals like I care for my child. I show them love and affection. Feed them take them to park. I will make sure they are safe and happy and tuck them into bed at bed time.
About: I have owed cats and dogs my entire life and see them as family. They add such joy to my life and I make sure that all animals are happy, well-attended to and comfortable. I currently have 4 cats and an Irish Wolfhound and they all get along surprisingly well. We typically watch our friends dogs when they are out of town, so my cats acclimate well to other animals in the house. They typically keep to themselves and stay in their cat room most of the day. My Irish Wolfhound, Pepperanne, is the sweetest, most gentle giant. Although she's no spring chicken (8 years old), she LOVES playing with other dogs, and yet, also doesn't overwhelm other dogs and gives them their space. I will love your pet like my own and make sure they feel comfortable during their stay. Although 5 animals might sound like a crazy household, I have a very calm home and everyone is respectful of their space and others. I work remotely and am home all day during the week and have lots of time to love on your pet. Weekend plans are typically local and I don't venture far to ensure your animal is comfortable, especially for any animals with separation anxiety. My home has plenty of space both inside and out. I have a very large fenced in back yard with plenty of space for your pet to explore, a very zoomies-friendly area. I live in a nice neighborhood, also, with plenty of non-busy streets to walk your pet when it's not too hot. I live close to the Bush Airport (IAH) (about 20 min away), so if you ever need a last minute sitter, I’m on the way to the airport and makes for an easy drop off and pick up!
“I cannot sing Julissa’s praises enough! Today there was a problem with the lock at my apt & I couldn’t leave work to help resolve the issue, but she did not hesitate to take Gabby back to her house where she could run, play and enjoy some sunshine! Seriously, Julissa is THE BEST!”
“Best experience ever!! This was my first time leaving my fur baby with anyone outside of my family and Ashley made the experience very pleasant. She sent frequent pictures, videos and updates. I can tell she really cares and Sebastian had the best time.”
“Brittany was amazing! She kept our fur baby happy and occupied! We were lucky to have found her with such short notice. He slept like a champ afterwards and had a great day! Highly recommend.”
“Kimberly was great with Gibson, and even was able to accommodate when I was unable to pick him up at his original time. I can’t recommend a more kind and trusting sitter! Thank you, Kimberly!”
About: I've been taking care of animals my entire life. I grew up with pets of all sizes and species: cats, dogs, birds, hamsters, etc. -- each with their own personalities. I have experience as a professional dog walker during my 8 years in Washington, DC. Friends, family, coworkers, and strangers alike have all relied on me to walk, feed, and sit their pets and their homes. I also have a green thumb and am diligent about taking care of the plant babies as well. I enjoy walking, playing, and snuggling with the pets. I also have a way of communicating with and soothing animals, so they'll definitely be in good hands. I will treat them like my own and be super attentive to their needs and yours as well. I'm also in school to be a holistic medicine doctor. I work from home. Flexible schedule I work for myself full-time and have a very flexible schedule, available all day, and usually anytime during the week. Right now, I am studying Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine (which is excellent for your pets by the way) but everything is remote and after-hours. Let's discuss more details! I'm single with no kids or pets of my own -- plenty of plants. A former project manager turned entrepreneur and TCM med student who just moved to Houston for graduate school. Great attention to detail. A strategic planner. A great listener and savvy speaker who gets along with everyone and pays great attention to detail. I absolutely love animals of all kinds, and I love spending quality time with them as a pet sitter, dog walker, and home sitter. I pride myself on empathy, cleanliness, and attention to detail so your pets will always be in good hands. I love to build bonds and trust with animals through respect, trust, affection, and play/stimulation -- unless that's not their jam and they'd rather be left alone -- no pressure, every pet is different. As a med student with goals I'm set on accomplishing, you can trust me to be low maintenance, quiet, and low-key with no drama or excuses. You can rest assured your pet and/or home is in great, responsible, mature hands.
About: I have a deep-rooted passion for pets, coupled with a wealth of experience that spans every stage of a pet's life. Having raised family pets from energetic puppies to beloved seniors, I've navigated the joys and challenges of pet care that comes with each unique phase. My firsthand experience includes not only the traditional responsibilities of pet sitting but also specialized skills such as training puppies. I understand the importance of a strong foundation in obedience and socialization, and I take pride in using positive reinforcement techniques to help young pups thrive and develop good habits. In addition, my background includes compassionate senior pet care, where I’ve learned to recognize the specific needs of older animals. This experience has honed my ability to provide comfort, administer medication, and manage health issues, ensuring a dignified and loving environment for seniors in their twilight years. Having been through the heart-wrenching process of saying goodbye to pets that crossed over the rainbow bridge, I approach pet care with sensitivity and tenderness—I treat every furry friend as if they were my own, nurturing them not just physically but emotionally. With my unique blend of training expertise, hands-on experience, and deep compassion, I strive to offer a pet sitting service that truly feels like home! 🏡 Working from home has given me the wonderful opportunity to provide your pets with the love, attention, and care they deserve. My flexible schedule means that I am available throughout the day to shower your furry friends with affection, engage them in playtime, and take them on generous walks. Whether it's a game of fetch in the backyard or a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood, your pet will never feel neglected or lonely when they're in my care. If you're looking for boarding services, I’m happy to accommodate your needs! I am available to offer boarding/sitting in my home all week long at any time. Please don’t hesitate to contact me directly if you have a special request/circumstance as far as time is concerned and I’ll be happy to speak with you to see what we can work out! Rest assured, your beloved companion will receive all the love and attention they deserve in a warm, nurturing environment! I’m in a home with a large, fenced in yard. I have 2 dogs, a Great Dane/Catahoula Leopard mix named Alfie (M), who is 4, and a French Bulldog named Journey (F), who is 1 1/2! Both dogs are friendly & very playful! Alfie and Journey usually go between stays at my home and my parents home that is right next door to me. I can ensure your pet will be in a safe and very clean home that is equipped to handle everything from A-Z! If you have any special requests and specific instructions you need me to follow, I am more than happy to accommodate you and your beloved pet! I will have crates that can fit small and medium sized dogs, a variety of durable toys, and extra bedding and blankets. Please also feel free to bring anything at drop-off for your pet that will best suit them while they’re under my care - this can include their crate, bed, blanket, toys, or their favorite treat! If you request to have me board your pet in your home, I will ensure I leave your space in pristine condition and follow any guidance you may have to ensure I exceed your expectations!
“Maria (and Penny too!) took such great care of Flynn! We got lots of photos and videos, it was so clear that Flynn was having fun all day. I would definitely recommend Maria!”
“Darius was a god sent. I was visiting Houston from Dallas with my husband and puppy. I stayed at a dog friendly hotel but even going for breakfast made my puppy very anxious alone in the room we decided to use over for the first time and I urgently contacted Darius. He was very prompt to respond and accommodated everything. He was very vigilant for for example I feed my dog fresh food, which I forgot to tell him, but he had already put the food in the fridge. He has a very sweet and loving puppy, and I could visibly see mylo happy. If I ever returned to Houston, Darius is my guy. Milo has never been around strangers, but he was extremely comfortable with Darius. He also sent updates every so often and was prompted to answer anything I asked. I don’t think twice.”
“This was my first experience with a pet sitter. Ximena was wonderful with Barney and stayed in contact throughout the day. She was very responsive and sent photos and videos throughout the day to keep me updated. I could tell Barney had a blast and came home happy and relaxed. I could tell Ximena truly cared and made sure Barney had a great day and got along with the other pups. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Stephanie did an amazing job watching my 8 week old puppy. I utilized Stephanie's services for 4 weeks consecutively because was so good my lil Lola. I loved that she communicated with fast responses whenever I would reach out to her. She is such a sweet young lady and my lil Lola truly enjoyed her time with Stephanie. Stephanie was also very flexible with our schedule.”

I make time for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving them the attention and care they need to stay happy and comfortable. I follow each pet’s regular routine to help them feel comfortable and safe. I make sure they are fed on time, have fresh water, get exercise and playtime, and receive plenty of attention. I also keep their space clean and provide updates to owners so they know their pet is happy and well cared for.
About: I've been taking care of animals my entire life. I grew up with pets of all sizes and species: cats, dogs, birds, hamsters, etc. -- each with their own personalities. I have experience as a professional dog walker during my 8 years in Washington, DC. Friends, family, coworkers, and strangers alike have all relied on me to walk, feed, and sit their pets and their homes. I also have a green thumb and am diligent about taking care of the plant babies as well. I enjoy walking, playing, and snuggling with the pets. I also have a way of communicating with and soothing animals, so they'll definitely be in good hands. I will treat them like my own and be super attentive to their needs and yours as well. I'm also in school to be a holistic medicine doctor. I work from home. Flexible schedule I work for myself full-time and have a very flexible schedule, available all day, and usually anytime during the week. Right now, I am studying Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine (which is excellent for your pets by the way) but everything is remote and after-hours. Let's discuss more details! I'm single with no kids or pets of my own -- plenty of plants. A former project manager turned entrepreneur and TCM med student who just moved to Houston for graduate school. Great attention to detail. A strategic planner. A great listener and savvy speaker who gets along with everyone and pays great attention to detail. I absolutely love animals of all kinds, and I love spending quality time with them as a pet sitter, dog walker, and home sitter. I pride myself on empathy, cleanliness, and attention to detail so your pets will always be in good hands. I love to build bonds and trust with animals through respect, trust, affection, and play/stimulation -- unless that's not their jam and they'd rather be left alone -- no pressure, every pet is different. As a med student with goals I'm set on accomplishing, you can trust me to be low maintenance, quiet, and low-key with no drama or excuses. You can rest assured your pet and/or home is in great, responsible, mature hands.
“Melissa F. was fantastic! She quickly connected with my dog and ensured that he felt his experience would be filled with love, words of encouragement, and support. Can't wait to rebook Melissa again.”

About: I have been pet sitting for the past 10 years as an odd Job. I would love to help neighbors with their furry friends while they work or on vacation. I live with my own two pups.

About: Hello my name is Samantha, I just moved down to Houston from ATX to pursue my degree at UH! I am currently unemployed and only at school a few hours a week, so I’d be more then happy to cease your endless search for a wonderful and caring sitter. I have my own little pup back home whom I love and miss so much, she’s somehow already 15yr old so you could say I’m experienced with the older crowd. I am also good with puppies and any pet eager to play, I have taken care of many dogs and cats in my hometown from Rover and have had great experiences! You can trust that I will put your little pet’s needs at the top of my list when you book with me! I am currently unemployed, so I have an abundance of free time so I am able to plan my daily schedule around your pet’s eating and potty schedule and ofc give them all the play time there is in a day! I guarantee that I will treat every animal and home with the upmost respect and do all I can to keep your pet comfortable and happy.
About: I have over 15 years of experience pet-sitting and I absolutely love taking care of furry children. I started pet-sitting as a child and I continued watching human's furry family members through graduate school I am an animal lover who has taken care of fur babies from zoo animals to domesticated companions in their home habitat. I make dogs feel as though they are on vacation when their humans are away. We have adventures at the beach, dog parks or your furry baby's favorite place. I recently moved to the South Bay with my own pup, Million, who I taught to communicate using AAC buttons like the viral sensation Bunny the Bernedoodle. It takes a lot of patience and reinforcement to train a dog to use a communication tool created for non-verbal children.
“Esme is such a sweet and awesome person to work with. She took care of my pups as if they were hers. Had her take them at walks when i’m not able to and she did a phenomenal job. My pups love her.?”
About: I’m Destiny, a previous mini schnauzer owner for 5 years until I had to move states and ultimately couldn’t afford his travel and care. I love dogs so much, almost more than humans sometimes. I have experience potty training and teaching basic commands(no professional). I taught my puppy to sit, speak(when he needed to potty & just for entertainment/discipline purposes), and stay while I had him (he was also highly food motivated so it was super easy). I’m very active and love outdoors. I take runs at the park occasionally, so walk and play time should be fun for puppy with me. I have two boys, age 3 & 5, they’re full of energy to play as well with puppy. I currently work from home so my day is very free especially while my boys are at school during the day. Hope to meet you and your fur baby! I work from home so I’ll be there to supervise them all day. I am very active and I take walks or runs every day! I care for pets in my home just as they were mine! I allow them on furniture, walk and play and love on them very often.

“Shanieka is great!! It was my first time leaving my 5 month old puppy and she made me feel at ease with the video updates and communication throughout his stay. My dog is very high energy and can be a lot to handle but Shanieka embraced him for it, it was apparent that he was very comfortable with her. I will definitely be a returning customer.”
“Ashley is the absolute best! She was so kind and loving to our pets. Her communication is right on time. And when I say she cut my stress level down by at least 95% that is saying something. She’s a miracle. I love her positive attitude and when we picked up our dogs after three weeks with her, they were healthy and happy. And kind of made me sad they didn’t wanna leave her lol but I guess that’s a good thing. I will definitely rebook with her.”
