“Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Cody! He was so relaxed and happy when I got home. I highly recommend Andrew to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter."”
“Aseela is so nice and sent so many photos! She was patient with my dogs to get them to relax in a new environment. She took them on walks on the less busy streets because they get overstimulated easily.”
“Madeline took care of my dog Kai for almost 2 weeks and she was great. She kept me updated with photos and took really good care of Kai. I really like that she has a dog park inside so close by, so my dog could run around there.”
“Randy was absolutely incredible with RYKER! I was going through a lot and needed someone I could truly trust, and Randy exceeded every expectation. RYKER isn’t an easy pup—he’s epileptic, highly anxious, and has major trust issues—but Randy handled him with such patience, care, and compassion. It honestly felt like a miracle to find someone who not only understood RYKER’s needs but also created a calm, safe space for him to feel secure. Randy was communicative, gentle, and completely unshaken by any challenges. 10/10—would book again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Randy, for being exactly who RYKER (and I) needed.”
“Jocelyn is the best! Kenzo absolutely loves her and her husband and he always has such a great time while he’s there! She’s always sending photos and updates too! Highly recommend and wouldn’t go to anyone else! Thank you so much Jocelyn!”
“I had a last minute trip that I needed to make and specifically needed a sitter who only cares for one dog at a time. Brittany was so quick responding and was able to take care of my girl. She was also able to administer her eye medication while I was away. I genuinely felt at ease leaving my pup with her and would gladly use her again.”
“Tammy took such beautiful care of my little boy, Vidita. As a dog mom, it’s never easy to leave your baby, but she made me feel completely at peace from the first day. She kept me updated, treated him with so much affection, and made him feel safe and loved. Vidita is very attached and sensitive, and he settled in so well with her. Knowing he was cuddly, comfortable, and happy meant everything to me. She even handled an unexpected bath situation with kindness and patience! I am truly grateful for Tammy and would absolutely trust her again. She treats your dog like family 🤍🐾”
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.
“Idalia is a great sitter - she was super understanding of some scheduling changes I needed to make as well as a last minute addition of giving my dog ear drops each day. She provided detailed updates several times each day with cute pictures and my dog seemed really happy after he came home. Will be booking again!”

“I cannot say enough good things about how well Alexis cared for my fur baby! She truly went above and beyond and completely eased any nerves I had while leaving my sweet kitty! Each day she sent so many updates (in the very best way possible) and it was super clear how much she cared! Alexis truly treated my fuzz baby like her own and I cannot recommend her enough! She is definitely my go to now!”
“Ximena was wonderful! This was our first time to board our dog with a Rover, so I was a bit nervous. She suggested a meet up beforehand with her dog and mine to make sure it was a good fit. And during the stay, she sent lots of photos, and even made Apollo some homemade topper for his kibble when he wasn’t eating. Will be booking with Ximena again!”

“We were away on our honeymoon for two weeks, and we were so sad to leave our precious Cleo for that long! But we felt so much more at ease knowing she was in such great hands with Natalie. It was great to receive adorable photos of Cleo playing and showing off her personality. It was clear that she felt completely comfortable with Natalie, which was so reassuring for us while we were away. Natalie is a wonderful communicator, kept us updated throughout our trip, and is so great with our fur baby. Knowing Cleo was happy, comfortable, and well cared for allowed us to truly enjoy our honeymoon. We’re so grateful to Natalie and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pet!”

She sent updates and pictures everyday that exceeded my expectations. My cats are already wondering where their favorite cat sitter is :) thank you for everything!!!!!”
“Michael is amazing; he took excellent care of our pack of cats and was even able to charm the skittish ones into coming out of hiding.

I would absolutely book with Joni again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter.”

We would definitely trust her with Elsie again!”

“Lily loved Adrian right away 🥰 Adrian was very easy going and cordial. His time and service gave our visit to MD Anderson some relief knowing Lily was being well taken care of.”
About: I genuinely love and care for animals in general. From small to wild & Exotic. Running my own canine daycare has lifted my business off the ground to succeed at my goal. Many years of experience I’ve gained behavior knowledge, along with training to Vaccinate, medicate, and bathing all sizes. I adore my career. Overtime I’ve affiliated with many vet hospitals while majoring vet med, which is a plus for my clients during playtime accidents or general health conditions. Under parents approval are they okay to play with separate boarders. A lovely individual play is also provided. Overall, my home becomes your home once they find their spot 🫶🏽 Thank you in advanced for choosing me as your sitter. P.S their photos are added to my profile daily. They’re all stars✨ 🤭 I canine sit full time while taking online classes. A mother of 1 w/ an additional business in art in the comfort of my home. Pups fit perfectly in my schedule. PSA: Any pups stay longer than a week, please schedule a 1x Spa & bath during their stay or have them bathed before their boarding schedule starts only If they have strong odors. I will not accept clients with no baths included in boarding or before they arrive. My home is my safe and care free zone where my peace and serenity is. Positive energy is mandatory. Your pet will absorb that energy. Which also comes with treats and lots of belly rubs. Including your requirements, I’m happy to include in their boarding routine.
“I’m so happy I found Jayla! I was a bit nervous about having someone I didn’t know keep my fur baby, but after our Meet & Greet I knew this would be a match! Jayla is pleasant, flexible with her schedule and communicates very well. My pup also took to her instantly, so that pretty much sealed the deal :-). I’ll definitely return as a customer and recommend to others!!”
“A supremely dedicated and focused sitter. She asked great questions about Wilson and his interaction w dogs and cats. More importantly, she listened closely and gave great feedback throughout Wilson’s visit. Wonderful, caring sitter.”
“My dog had a great time with Lesly! It was easy to schedule with her and I could tell he was well taken care of. Throughout the day, I received multiple updates with pictures. All the fun he had playing with her friendly doodles was an added plus.”
About: I grew up on a farm in Indiana and we were known as a place folks could dump big dogs. At one point we had 5 adult St Bernards - so I do love big dogs. However, even though I’m on the first floor, there are stairs and elevators to get to the outside. If you big dog struggles with stairs this might not be the happiest place for them. Overall, I have been around dogs are all sizes all my life. My only request is that they like cats as I have 3 boys who are not brave. I’m a healthcare analyst who works 99% of the time remote. My complex as a lovely dog park and I live in a highly walkable part of Midtown/Montrose. I’m in a complex with a lovely dog park and will require the use of a leash when the dog isn’t in my home or in a fenced dog park.
About: I have had cats and dogs all my life! Friends and family have relied on me to let sit, through college and childhood. Well versed with different breeds as well. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, so I make time to give every pet the attention, affection, and exercise they deserve. As a student, I have a schedule that allows me to be dependable and flexible for pet parents. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having a calm companion, I’ll tailor my care to their personality and routine. My goal is for you to have complete peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your pet is safe, happy, and genuinely cared for. I make sure I watch pets closely and provide them with the right care. If they have special diets or preferences, I can make the proper accommodations.

About: Hi there! My name is Alexis, and I’m a Baylor University graduate with a lifelong love for animals. I’ve fostered and cared for multiple cats at once, including bottle-feeding kittens and caring for animals with different needs and personalities. I also have cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone reliable and attentive caring for your pets. I’m currently based in Houston and offer dog walking. Whether your dog needs a long walk, some extra exercise, or just a little outdoor time and attention during the day, I’m patient, responsible, and happy to follow their normal routine. I’d love to help make sure your pup gets the exercise, attention, and care they need! I’m used to having pet care built into my daily routine. My partner and I regularly wake up early to walk our dog before starting the day, and we also take evening walks. I’m comfortable with early mornings, evening walks, and keeping pets on a consistent schedule. I prioritize keeping pets safe, comfortable, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I follow all owner instructions carefully, pay attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, and provide consistent updates and clear communication so owners can feel comfortable while their pet is in my care.

Simba got to play, cuddle, and has a new best friend - Barton! Will definitely rebook again.”
