About: I’ve had the joy of caring for dogs and cats for over 16 years, and I treat every pet like family. I’m experienced with pets of different ages, personalities, and needs, and I understand how important it is to provide them with patience, love, attention, and a safe environment. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply some companionship while you’re away, I’m here to make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. 🐾❤️ I currently work part time running my own business and I choose when I want to work, so it gives me more time with our pets and children. I have a fenced yard, and we are looking at adding a play area for the dogs to enjoy their time outside. The fenced portion is about 1/2 of an acre.

About: I love to care for dogs and cats. I’ve taken care of dogs of different breeds since I was 4 years old. I have friends and family asked and relied on me to walk, feed, and/or bathe their pets. I’m a retired veteran, so I’m fortunate enough to have the time to attend and care to your fur babies’ needs. I’ll be able to visit your pet anytime of the week with a proper notice. I can visit your home to care for your pet. I’ll be able to take them on walks or dog parks. I also have a personal companion dog (morkie) that can provide a perfect playmate.

About: I’ve grown up around animals and had several throughout the last 33 years. I really only have experience with dogs and cats, I currently have 5 cats and 2 dog. As a pet caretaker with a flexible schedule, I can easily adapt my day around each pet’s needs. I’m able to plan feeding times, walks, play sessions, and check-ins at times that work best for both the pet and their owner. My flexibility allows me to provide consistent, reliable care—even if the owner’s routine changes—while making sure the pet maintains a comfortable, steady daily rhythm. This approach helps me give attentive, personalized care throughout the day. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly two year old female German Shepherd loves to play. And also a male rat terrier mix. I can also crate if needed. Also lots of treats and toys!

About: Your dog will get lots of love and attention from me! I’m available for check-ins and walks with your dog in Kemah/Clear Lake Shores. We will have fun taking walks, playing outside, or cuddling! My family has shared our homes and our lives with Jack Russells, Labs, and beagles since I was a little kid. For the last 5 years, I've been a dog mom to a Chocolate Lab. Penny is a very energetic, fun girl! I know how dogs become part of your family, and I'll treat your dog as such! I’ve been a Rover pet sitter for ten years, in Virginia, Montana, and now Texas. I have experience taking care of pets as well as livestock, and administering medications. I'd be happy to answer any additional questions you may have! I typically assist my clients with pet care and walks in the morning (around 7 a.m.) noon and evenings (5-8 p.m.) on weekdays. My weekends are more flexible. When I visit your home, I will check in with you upon arrival, with a photo and text message. I will also document any services I provide (feeding, walks, etc.) I will follow instructions provided for feeding, watering, potty breaks, walks, and treats.

About: I am a true animal lover. I have a level of empathy for pets that most people think is crazy. Your pet is part of your family and will be part of mine as well. I have a lot of love to give. I am more then happy to accept a million phone calls and texts because I know top care is important. I am patient and understanding and take the time to help with house breaking and learn new tricks. I use to breed Siberian huskies. That is one of the most energetic and mischevious breeds out there. I help with a local rescue in rehoming and donations. I am also actively involved with helping take strays to local vets and following up with owners. My family consists of me, my husband and our five children. There is always someone to give love and attention. We keep our own pets somewhat on a schedule and we play a lot in our back yard. I have a large fenced in yard and three very active dogs who enjoy to play. I also have 5 indoor cats. I can easily crate if needed.
