Within 24 hours he was zooming around and by night three he was hopping in their bed. *Susan shared the sweetest pictures. Cannot say enough about the exceptional care King Archie received. Zoey was sweet to Archie giving him space to relax and feel safe.”
“Myriam is hands down one of the best pet sitters here in the Houston area! She’s always smiling, positive, jolly, personable and very caring.

She takes him for walks, play, and does not fail to send pics and videos. Myriam treats my puppy as part of their loving family and that’s most important. I feel secure every time my puppy is at Myriam’s because I know he’s getting all the care, attention and love that he needs. Myriam is highly recommended; I would give her more than 5 stars!!”

“Emma has house-sat my cats twice for extended periods. She keeps me updated with photos and asks questions if needed. She’s easy to communicate with and responds promptly. My cats always have a blast with her and are well cared for and loved. On top of that, she leaves my place in the same or even better condition than when I left. As an anxious person and loving pet parent, I usually stress about leaving my kitties. However, when Emma is watching my babies, I’m not even worried because I know they’re in excellent hands!”
“I highly recommend Krystal as a wonderful and reliable pet sitter. She sent daily pics of our cat, which are much appreciated. She also leaves the house neat and clean with the litter box attended to and any mess the cat may have made cleaned up. Dobby loves her and so do we! In the past we relied on neighborhood teenagers and we would come home to a messy house. No longer. Krystal is our first choice from now on.”
“Kristen & Jeff always go above and beyond!! They shared a few concerns about our cats’ food potentially not dispensing and added an extra check in last minute. They also cleaned up several pet messes. Highly recommend their services!”

Again, she’s AMAZING y’all!!”

About: What sets me apart is the calm, patient, and attentive care I give every pet. I understand that inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your pet is a big decision, so I focus on reliability, clear communication, and following your pet’s routine exactly as you prefer. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs, including shy or anxious pets who need time to warm up, high-energy dogs who need movement and play, and senior pets who benefit from gentle, slower-paced care. I’m also comfortable following detailed care routines and instructions to help keep your pet healthy and comfortable. During visits I provide: • Safe walks tailored to your dog’s energy level • Feeding, fresh water, and potty breaks • Playtime and enrichment to prevent boredom • Senior pet support and patience with mobility needs • Lots of affection and companionship • Detailed updates with photos after every visit I’m very respectful of your home, punctual, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away.

Because I’m not currently working outside the home, I’m able to accept morning, midday, evening, and weekend bookings. I can often accommodate same-day requests with a little notice, and I keep my schedule intentionally open so I can give each pet plenty of time, attention, and unhurried care during visits and walks. For drop-in visits and walks, safety and routine are my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, care routines, leash preferences, and any household rules. I double-check doors, gates, and locks, and I always ensure pets are secure before leaving your home. I move at your pet’s comfort level and pay close attention to behavior, energy, and safety during walks. I avoid unsafe weather conditions, hot pavement, and crowded areas when needed. While I don’t offer boarding, I do have two friendly senior dogs (a poodle, 16yo, and a yorkie, 9yo), which has given me valuable experience with gentle handling, slower walks, and senior pet care. My goal is always to help your pet feel calm, safe, and cared for while you’re away.

About: I have always had a special place in my heart for dogs! I was a pet sitter for 10+ years, but recently took a short break after moving to a different part of the great state of Texas!

There may be times that I will run an errand or two, but I will never be away for more than 2 hours. I also have cameras in the house that I use to check on them if I am away, even for a short period of time. Your pets' well being is my priority during their entire stay. With a fenced yard, your dog will be able to enjoy outdoor time as often as they like. My dog, Lukka, loves to play and have fun with other dogs. He’s been around puppies and giant dogs alike.

About: I started dog walking and pet sitting at 18 as a way to pay rent during COVID. Like anyone learning on the job, I made some mistakes in the beginning, but over the past 6 years, I’ve made a complete 180 — gaining valuable knowledge and refining my skills to care for animals the right way. Now at 24 and working toward becoming a veterinarian, this has grown from a job into a true passion. I combine experience, education, and genuine love for animals to provide the best care possible for your furry friends. My schedule varies weekly, so I update my calendar regularly to ensure you can easily book dog walking and sitting services whenever you need it. When walking dogs, I always bring a water dispenser and doggy bags, so you don’t have to worry about a thing. For dog boarding, your dog will feel right at home! Dogs are welcome on the furniture unless you prefer otherwise, following your training guidelines. I provide potty breaks every 2–4 hours and extra walks for energetic pups to burn off energy. Bedtime is at 8 PM, with the last walk of the day to help your dog settle in comfortably.

About: I have had dogs in my care my whole life; I love them, and to me, they are part of the family—important members. Sometimes I feel they need more care and love than it might seem; they get stressed and often develop bad habits because of it, so I focus on ensuring they aren't stressed during their walks. playtime (they need to burn off energy) and walk time (they need to explore and use their sense of smell), Make sure they are well-hydrated, since walks involve peeing, which results in water loss. I consider dogs to be another member of the family, so I understand the importance of their safety and follow your specific instructions (zero contact with other dogs, zero contact with children who might want to pet other people's pets—it's up to you).

“We used Delys for the first time. We are happy to share it won’t be the last time. She was very responsive in communications, handled all of Duke’s medications easily, and provided a loving, safe environment for him. We would strongly recommend her for anyone seeking dog sitting services.”
“Brad and Kelli are the BEST! I will never leave my dog with anyone else. They are very active with him and treat him like part of the family. Highly recommend!”
“Benji had a great time at Sonja and Luis' home while we took a weekend vacation. It is so nice to not have to worry about his well being when he can't be with us. Thank you for providing him a home away from home.”
“We very much appreciate the care Ryan and Lisa provided for our dog Singha while we were away for 3 weeks. He enjoys going there and gets along well with their dog Remy.”

“Jordan was great! I had to reach out to her very last minute late at night and she still was willing and available to help. She sent me updates daily without me even having to ask. Definitely recommend her!!”

“Elizabeth was great! She was able to accommodate us on short notice and took great care of our pups. You could tell they had a great time. We will definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone that is considering her. Thanks again!”
“Christina‘s passion for dogs is evident when you first meet her. Her house is set up to accommodate the dogs. She has a kitty pool for them to play in their backyard. She takes them on walks twice a day and is very loving towards the dogs. She effectively communicated the entire time we were out of town sending pictures and updates. I would very much consider using her again.”

About: What sets me apart is the calm, patient, and attentive care I give every pet. I understand that inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your pet is a big decision, so I focus on reliability, clear communication, and following your pet’s routine exactly as you prefer. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs, including shy or anxious pets who need time to warm up, high-energy dogs who need movement and play, and senior pets who benefit from gentle, slower-paced care. I’m also comfortable following detailed care routines and instructions to help keep your pet healthy and comfortable. During visits I provide: • Safe walks tailored to your dog’s energy level • Feeding, fresh water, and potty breaks • Playtime and enrichment to prevent boredom • Senior pet support and patience with mobility needs • Lots of affection and companionship • Detailed updates with photos after every visit I’m very respectful of your home, punctual, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, which allows me to offer flexible availability throughout the week. Because I’m not currently working outside the home, I’m able to accept morning, midday, evening, and weekend bookings. I can often accommodate same-day requests with a little notice, and I keep my schedule intentionally open so I can give each pet plenty of time, attention, and unhurried care during visits and walks. For drop-in visits and walks, safety and routine are my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, care routines, leash preferences, and any household rules. I double-check doors, gates, and locks, and I always ensure pets are secure before leaving your home. I move at your pet’s comfort level and pay close attention to behavior, energy, and safety during walks. I avoid unsafe weather conditions, hot pavement, and crowded areas when needed. While I don’t offer boarding, I do have two friendly senior dogs (a poodle, 16yo, and a yorkie, 9yo), which has given me valuable experience with gentle handling, slower walks, and senior pet care. My goal is always to help your pet feel calm, safe, and cared for while you’re away.
