“Zoraya always takes wonderful care of my dog and sends me photos throughout her stay. My dog can be nervous and slow to warm up, but she was very excited to go back to Zoraya’s and warms right up to her! I would highly recommend her for your overnight boarding needs.”
“Very easy to coordinate and communicate. Leslie sends informative updates and photos. Dogs were well taken care of. Absolutely my go to sitter. The layout of the house is very dog friendly. They settled in quickly and had the whole house to themselves. Leslie is amazing to go extra mile to create home away from home replicating all home conditions for dogs.”
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.
“Alexis was an amazing last minute dog sitter after my prior plans with another sitter fell through. Moose was immediately happy to see her and ready to go spend the weekend his weekend away from home. Got daily updates/pics annd always knew he was getting plenty of love/attention. Would recommend 10/10.”
“We are so happy we found Tressa! She did a fantastic job looking after our "high energy" puppy, even when at the last minute we found out he needed to be on a few medications which Tressa was more that happy to administer for us. Would 100% trust any of our pets staying with Tressa, and we know our puppy looks forward to staying with her again!”
“It’s always a pleasure booking with Kevin! Laila loves going over and he is very understanding and flexible. He treats Laila like family and that makes us feel very comfortable leaving her while we vacation!”
“Smokey had a wonderful time with Randy! Randy made sure to send me pictures daily and keep me updated on how Smokey was doing. Smokey would love to have Randy as his sitter again!”
“Lidia was amazing! Pierre was there a week and she took him in like he was her own! She was great at sending photos and updates. I will continue to use her for future bookings! Thank you so much”
“I had to leave my sweet girl—Lin—for the first time while I traveled, I was so so worried, but Leigh was amazing! She sent me pictures everyday and Lin looked so happy and cared for, it was easy for me to relax and enjoy my vacation! I’m so glad I booked with Leigh and I highly recommend her.”
“Jo was extremely attentive to Cleo, who requires a lot of attention. She took her on many walks and sent me lots of pictures. Cleo immediately felt right at home. Will definitely have her watch my dog again!”
“Steven is great! Highly recommend. Provided frequent updates and was very flexible after several flight delays. He was kind enough to let me use some doggy bowls after I forgot to bring some over. So helpful and understanding to this new dog mom.”
“Very communicative, polite, caring and sweet! My dolce loved Brittany!! Will be using her services again! Thank you Brittany!! Also got plenty of pictures and replies on time :)”

“This was my first time using Marcela & Michelle. They went above and beyond to assure me that my dog was in the best care. They sent me photos and videos daily, even without me asking! I’ve never felt more assured that my dog was being well taken care of. Highly recommend and will definitely use them next time I need a sitter!”
“I can’t put into words how extremely thankful I am that I chose Idalia as my dog sitter! I had an unfortunate incident happen while I was out of the country and she went above and beyond for my dog. She calmed my nerves reassuring me that she would do whatever she could to make my dog feel more comfortable. Idalia is an angel and I would choose her and only her to watch my fur baby from here on out. You can tell she truly loves animals and will treat your fur baby like her own.”
“My dog is very anxious and can be weird about taking walks, but Ryan was great at letting him get used to him/comfortable with him and was even able to get him to go on walks after a while. I really appreciated Ryan’s text and picture updates because I miss my pup so much when I’m away from him! He was always super quick to respond, and his apartment location is really convenient as well. I will be using Ryan again!”
“Stephanie (and Filip!) are the best! They care so much for Lavinia! I can rest assured she’s in capable and loving hands, receiving so much care, and opportunities to play with other sweet dogs! Highly recommend Stephanie—she’s Lavinia and I’s go-to dogsitter! 💕💕💕”

“Emma is a fantastic sitter! She is so caring and sweet to my cat while also being reliable and responsible. Her photos and messages about Ruby's day make me smile and feel comfortable knowing that she is being so well taken care of while I am gone. Emma went above and beyond when Hurricane Beryl hit Houston and took out our power. I was happy to have someone I could trust to handle a tough situation.”
“Thanks again Natali, for consistently taking such good care of our cat! I really appreciate that despite the post-hurricane chaos and power outages, you made sure our cat and our house were okay!!”
“Filipa took wonderful care of our cats while we were away. She is incredibly responsive and a great sitter. She sends updates and is attentive to our pets and to our home. I appreciate finding a sitter we can trust.”
“Allison was fantastic with my two cats! She handled everything with care, including giving one of my cats her shot without any issues. The visit notes were detailed and thoughtful, which gave me great peace of mind. Highly recommend!”
“Jose was very professional and took great care of my elderly cat while I had to leave town for a few days. He always was prompt with visits, and sent pics of the visit. He spent some time with her each day. I'd happily have him come and take care of my cat again!”
“Joni was absolutely amazing! I will definitely be using her again the future. She took great care of my cats while I was out of town. You can tell she really is a cat person and she made me feel less anxious being away from them for so long! She helped administer medication for my senior cat and kept me updated on how he was doing while I was away. She even brought over her own cat toys to play with them!”
“Nandani was a wonderful sitter to watch our cat Paul while we were away for our wedding - she sent lots of updates, played with him and left the house spotless. Would definitely recommend!”
“Tim was so excellent and considerate! He even dropped in and did extra visits for free. It was so kind of him. Tim is very communicative and on top of things, can’t recommend him enough!”
“Jessica did a great job with my kiddos ☺️ This is our second time using her services and we appreciate how reliable and responsive she is! She always does a great job with our kitties and bunny, and did a great job administering my cat’s inhaler treatments as well. Thanks so much!”
“Christina was amazing with our babies. Two of our kitties are very shy, but they came to visit her right off the bat. She was very communicative and respectful and even went above and beyond with some light chores. We will definitely book Christina again.”
“Amazing cat sitter! She took great care of my cat while I was away for nearly two weeks and kept me updated throughout the trip. It was such a relief knowing my cat was in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Gabby took great care checking in on my cat Dexter while I was away. She was responsive and sent updates during her visits. I would definitely recommend Gabby to look after your fur babies!”
“This was my first time ever using a pet sitter and also my first time leaving my cat alone for more than a day, so I was honestly a little nervous going into this. Jacquelyn made the entire process incredibly smooth from start to finish. I had a last minute situation and needed someone quickly, and she was very responsive and easy to communicate with right away. She followed all of the instructions carefully, and I really appreciated the daily updates and photos, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. When I got back home, everything was exactly as it should be. The litter box was clean, food and water were taken care of, and most importantly, my cat was calm, happy, and clearly well cared for (I think my cat actually prefers Jacquelyn to me now. 🤣😅). You can tell she takes this seriously and treats your pet with care and attention. Overall, I had a great experience and would absolutely recommend Jacquelyn to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter. I would definitely book with her again.”
“Bailee was wonderful! She dropped in every other day to check on my cat Remi. She sent pictures and notes every day. Bailee even watered my outside plants for me. Bailee is dependable and punctual and Remi was comfortable with her. Highly recommended!”
“Heaven did an amazing job keeping my cat Kali company while I was gone! I was nervous about leaving her for a couple of days, but Heaven kept me updated whenever she checked on her, which gave me the reassurance I needed. She was also flexible with dropping off the keys to my place once I got back. I highly recommend her, she obviously cares a lot about animals!”
“Renee was great. Easy to engage, asked a few questions, and assured us that she’s both a dog and cat owner. She visited twice as requested and provided great photos of her visits. Would def work with her again!”
“Natalie took care of our two cats while we were out of town. It was a spontaneous trip, and she was able to accommodate us at the last minute and even set up a meet and greet beforehand! She was super flexible and patient (at first, we didn’t know if we were going or when). Natalie is accommodating, responsible and kind, and after our meet and greet I had no doubt about her being in our home and caring for our cats while we were gone. While we were away, I became aware that the WiFi in our building was down, and the cats’ food dispenser wouldn’t release their meals. Natalie was so helpful and went the extra mile to fix the problem. She was very communicative and even went to our concierge to ask for an update and of course made sure to give the cats plenty of food in case the problem wasn’t fixed. It wasn’t fun being far from home in that kind of situation, but I honestly felt so comfortable with Natalie being there, since I trusted her to find alternatives and maintain my cats’ routines. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Natalie, and I’m looking forward to the next time she takes care of my babies 💕”

“Tommie and Jeff were so responsive and sent lots of updates and pictures. My dog had a blast playing with the other dogs! Will definitely book them again”
“My dog Ace is excited to visit. Great communication while my dog is in her care with pictures, messages, and videos. She was flexible with my pick up time when my schedule changed.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Lesly was superb! Milo felt very comfortable with Lesly’s doodles and at her home. Lots of pictures were sent throughout the day, which made me feel at ease. I will continue using Lesly’s services this week and going forward.”
“Tressa was great to work with. I was in town on business and brought my pooch with me. Tressa was extremely responsive with the booking process and throughout my dog’s stay. He enjoyed himself every day and could tell he was well looked after. Thank you”
“Filipa is amazing with Tabasco. I’ve had her take him walking, she’s pick him up and brought him home for day care stays. I always get loads of pictures and updates too. She is very safety conscious and cares so well for my baby when he is in her care. I just can’t think of anyone better equipped and prepared.”
“Nicole was awesome! Our puppy had a great time with the other dogs, and he was super tired after! She was very responsive and we would definitely recommend her to others!”
About: Having grown up in a household filled with various pets, thanks to my dad being a veterinarian, I’ve gained extensive experience caring for dogs through many stages of life, including adult and senior dogs. After caring for our beloved dog for 12 years, we’ve developed a deep understanding of senior dogs and are committed to providing the attention and comfort they deserve. We have two dogs at home, Penny (6 y/o) and Freddie (2 y/o). Our home environment is great for both energetic pups and more relaxed dogs, and we tailor our care to each dog’s individual needs. We maintain a structured routine that ensures all dogs are well cared for, comfortable, and safe. While we do step out during the day or on weekends for several hours at a time, we’re best suited for dogs who are comfortable being home alone for a few hours, are potty trained, and have an established routine. When we are home, your pet will receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. We focus on creating a calm, loving, and secure environment so every dog feels at ease during their stay. Your pet will receive not just care, but genuine affection and thoughtful attention, making their stay with us a positive and comfortable experience. I work from home full time and am available to pet sit on weekends as well. I can provide plenty of potty breaks and play time in the backyard as well as daily walks. I have a fully fenced yard and my 2 dogs are dog-friendly. My dogs and yours will always be supervised at all times while out in the backyard for safety.
“Lidia was great at taking care of my baby! Throughout the day I was updated with pictures which was great to see. I felt extremely satisfied with her service. Would definitely book again. Thank you again!”
About: I've helped birth puppies, treated injured dogs, taught dogs to shake my hand, I only use quality dry foods that are grain free. My dog Kenny enjoys playing with other dogs, so it will be a good time! I just want to go outside and enjoy the fresh air while the dogs play! Morning walk, feed dogs right afterwards with fresh water, afternoon walk and water refill and depending on their prescribed diet another scoop of food. Dogs will be rinsed if they are dirty, primarily their paws. Will be washed if needed before entering the home. Then an evening walk to finish the day. In my home they will be provided with designated spots to eat to avoid conflict. They will have free range to roam the home besides the bedrooms that are carpeted. Toys will be around the home to play with. I work from home so during my breaks I play with the dogs. After lunch i take them out to play and handle their business. We walk in the park behind my home but for the older dogs I let them roam in the gated area for dogs. In my customers home their rules apply.
“Thank you SO much for watching Rooster for me! I hsd a wonderful time on my day trip to Austin and knowing that Rooster was in great hands and a loving family while I was gone made me be able to just focus on my trip and have fun. Thank you also for being so communicative and flexible! Will be in touch about future trips 😊”
“Michelle is so sweet! My dog is quite timid with new people and she warmed up to her easily. I appreciate the updates and pictures as I was also nervous leaving Penny with a stranger for the first time. I wish I lived closer because I would love to book Michelle again...”

“Ynes did a wonderful job with Winnie! She is reliable, flexible, and communicates promptly and clearly. Winnie is a shy girl and Ynes was patient and consistent in winning her trust. I would highly recommend Ynes for your pet care needs!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies to seniors needing extra patience and care. I have a very active Brittany Spaniel, so I’m especially great with high-energy dogs, but I also love slower-paced companions. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and will follow your dog’s routine closely—while keeping you updated with photos so you always feel at ease. I am currently available all day-everyday (taking a break from corporate life). So I can help with all of your pups needs and even step in last minute. I know how important it is to trust someone with your dog—I expect the same for mine. I’ll respect your routines, preferences, and any specific instructions so your pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for.
“Lizzy and her mom were amazing!! They provided so many details about his walk, including 20 photos of Apollo! Gave me so much comfort, as this was my first day ever leaving him by himself! Definitely book Lizzy if you need a walk for your dog!”
“Alana was great with Koda! It was so helpful to have an extra hand with just bringing a newborn home this week. Alana was very quick to respond and had great communication. Koda is still smiling ❤️”
“Allison is such a blessing to me and my little dog! She is trustworthy and responsive. I have peace of mind when I’m at work knowing my dog is being walked and cared for by Alison.”
“Needed someone to walk my fur baby urgently & Kayla was absolutely perfect. She responded quickly, communicating was effortless & Kane loved her! He can’t wait to see you again! Thanks again!”
“Jacquelyn is wonderful with George! He ran to her immediately when we did a meet and greet, and I appreciate the pictures and report card she sends with every walk! Her services have been super helpful while we have an irregular work/office schedule, and I know our pup is in great hands!”
About: I’ve been a dedicated dog lover for over 27 years, starting with my first pup, Mystic, a Chow Mix/German Shepherd. Since then, I’ve raised and cared for multiple dogs, including Paco (Husky mix), Kiko, Lisha, Marley, and their mom, Sasha. From playful puppies to loving seniors, I’ve experienced it all and know how to handle a variety of needs with care and patience. Dogs bring so much joy, and I can’t wait to give yours the same love and attention! I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which means plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. My dog, Cloud, keeps me on an early-riser schedule, and I always have an eye on the pups in my care. During the week I'm mostly a homebody, and on weekends I enjoy walks at Buffalo Bayou Park. My centrally located Houston apartment is a great option for both local pet parents and visitors needing reliable care for their dogs. 🐾 Please note: For weekday drop-in visits/walks, I am only available before 10am and after 7pm. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. My apartment is dog-proofed and designed with pets in mind, featuring plenty of open space, dog beds, toys, enrichment puzzles, and separate areas that can be created with baby gates if needed. I have access to a fenced dog park within my community, a courtyard for quick potty breaks, and Buffalo Bayou Park nearby for walks. For added peace of mind, the nearest emergency veterinary hospital is less than half a mile away, and I am familiar with the canine Heimlich maneuver. I strive to maintain your dog's normal routine, so I encourage pet parents to share feeding schedules, treat limits, and any special care instructions to ensure a seamless, stress-free stay.
“We have used Darius twice with our dog Lyanna. He does very well with our big girl who just loves to pull on walks. He is also very prompt and communicates well! We will continue to use Darius!”
“Makenzie is great to work with! She’s very responsive to text messages and easy to talk to. My golden, Ruby, loves being visited by Makenzie and always has the biggest smile and whimpers. She looks forward to her walks with Makenzie and we’ll keep it going as long as she’s available. 😁”

About: I grew up around dogs, and horses. I have 2 dogs, one gentle giant, and one tiny tyrant. I’ve potty trained my dogs along with taught them to sit, lay, give paw and they have learned how to push buttons to let me know they want to go outside, want a treat, play food or scratchies 🤗🤓 Attorney working from home. Live in a gated community with a dog park as a back yard. My pups get a lot of playtime. I spent at least an hour outside with them every morning, take them out for a potty break in the afternoon and another hour long play session in the evening. Working from home allows me to give your fur babies more love and attention Plus two friendly pups will keep your fur baby company. I have 2 crates for boarding, if needed.
