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.

I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter!”

She’s normally a little shy but seemed to warm up super fast to Abigail. Abigail also was able to read Tuna and know what she wanted! Will definitely be booking. Abigail again!!!!”

I felt super comfortable out of town, knowing she was stopping by and keeping us connected. Both our shy kitty and our social butterfly were happy, fed and comfortable ☺️ We’ll certainly book with Courtney again!”
“Sarah is an amazing pet sitter, she’s very attentive to you and your pets needs and she genuine loves animals which is a plus which shows in the way she takes care of them while you’re gone. She makes you feel at ease when leaving your furry kids, I highly recommend”
“Tim was fantastic with our cats. The freezing weather threw a wrench in things, and Tim agreed to come earlier than we had him scheduled. This really helped out the sitter he was relieving since she doesn’t drive and needed to arrange transportation. Tim ensured the outside cats were warm enough and got them fresh water when it froze. He sent us photos of the cats to us and let us know all was well which we appreciated.”
“I may be busy but Gullian always takes the time for my furr baby. She makes sure my cat has plenty of food and water. He gets to have play time when she comes over and she even takes pictures so I can see how much fun he’s having. We love having Gullian help out in our family. Lynne Quillian”

“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 is so attached to her😅. He keeps his eyes on her to catch an opportunity to sleep on her lap. He gets lots of belly rubs and sleeps on laps every time he visits her home. It means he loves her!”
“I’m a first time dog owner and I was beyond impressed with Chelsie with our 6 month old puppy. She would send pictures and kept us updated. She was even willing to come pick up our puppy instead of us having to meet her at her place once. We will continue to use Chelsie in the future.”
“Needed a last minute sitter for the day and Chant was gracious enough to take both my dogs. One was a senior dog who needed extra bathroom breaks and the other had higher energy who's usually skittish of new environments. Chant made sure both dogs adjusted and were well taken care of. Despite my dog's protests, she even jumped hoops to make sure one of them took their medication. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“Burak took the best care of Kai! He was so accommodating to our schedule and made this trip super easy! Can’t wait to be back in Houston and see him again! Thank you Burak!”
About: Do you want to be absolutely worry free when it comes to your pets being well cared for while you are on a business trip or vacation? As your pet sitter I see my job as two parts. 1. Care for you pet(s), 2. Communicating with you such that you are worry free. I LOVE PETS and just so happen to be a Massage Therapist and Reiki Master so your babies get extra great pets, love and attention from a Healer! The majority of my private clients thus far are people who have more than one pet and economically boarding them is very expensive and/or they straight up don't like the idea of boarding their pets. (I have private clients that I am happy to provide as references for anyone who is serious about hiring me.) I'm self employed and semi retired so I have some flexibility to work with the right match! I love regular clients on my schedule but also available for one off's when my calander will allow... I pet sit based on having pets and raising children of my own. I have a high level of awareness to your animals needs and am always happy to make sure your home is secure and taken care of. It is never to much to request I bring in mail or packages or handle small things that may come up for you.
“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.”
“Stephanie is fantastic! She is so sweet and kind—Lavinia is happy and comfortable when with her. Stephanie sends photos throughout the day and is very easy to communicate with!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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 😊”

“This was the first time I left my dog Bella with someone outside my home, and I couldn't be happier with how it went. From the start, the sitter was kind, attentive, and professional. She took the time to get to know Bella, respected her routines, and kept me updated with photos and messages throughout the stay. Bella returned home calm, happy, and, without a doubt, very well cared for. It was clear she'd been in a safe and loving environment. Emma made the experience natural and stress-free. I highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again in the future. Thank you so much for taking such good care of Bella! 🐶❤️”
“My girls love Alexis, as do I! She’s been a lifesaver with my work routine, taking the dogs out each day at lunchtime for a walk to break up their day. Alexis is trustworthy, caring and reliable. I’d highly recommend booking with her.”

“Bailee was kind enough to stop by and meet Cooper before her first official walk! She took the time to navigate the building and to learn about Cooper’s quirks and needs. We are so excited to book with her and I’m relieved to know he’ll be in good hands!”
“Kendall was so great! Perfect with Shorty, great on checking in, flexible when either of our schedules needed some changes. I would recommend her for any and all dog walk needs, especially in South Philly! Yay Kendall!”
“Karen is a life saver! Super flexible with changing schedules and always on-time! Bailey loves her walks with Karen and I love knowing my puppy is in amazing hands while I am at work! 10/10 recommending her anytime a friend needs a walker/sitter!”
“Alana is an ABSOLUTE GEM! She shows up, on time, every time and communicates extremely well. We, unfortunately, moved far away and won’t be able to use her services and we are deeply saddened by this. She was, by far, the best experience for our fur babies and will be missed!”
“Anna is great! I trust her with my baby and will even take super late requests. If you cannot be home and need your little one to be taken for a walk, I would pick her over anyone in the area.”
“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!”
“I am so pleased to have Katie walking my energetic chocolate Labrador! One of the things I appreciate most is her punctuality and reliability. She has only been walking my dog for a couple of weeks, but it already feels like she’s been part of our routine forever. Katie is caring, dependable, and clearly loves what she does. I am so happy with her services and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker! 🐾”

Your pet’s safety will always be my #1 priority. By paying attention to your pet’s body language I will be able to gauge their comfort level and move forward accordingly.
“Thank you Timothy! We hired him last minute for dog-walking our little senior doggo and he was kind enough to take on the task! We were even a little late one day to have her ready for him and he waited on us.”

They provided a very dedicated care to my dog, excellent, constant, often, extensive communication with many photos, took my dogs on walks and provided family companionship which is the best kind a dog can get.

I’m definitely coming back to them as soon as I need it. 100% recommended !”

“Darius was exceptional from start to finish. Not only did he take care of my baby girl last minute, but he made the process so smooth and simple. He continued to send me photos of my little girl to show what a great time she was having and even gave extremely valuable inputs on an eating habit, she actually has which I plan to try out and see if it helps. Honestly… I’m very surprised that he’s only been doing the boarding with Rover for a short time because he’s so experienced and knowledgeable. I will definitely be contacting him again and again in the future. Thank you, Darius for everything and you will be hearing from me again.”
“Erik, Anne, and their 2 kids were lovely! They took such great care of my sweet puppy.
