“Travis did a great job with our puppy on a drop-in visit. It was our first time leaving our puppy with a dog walker, and I really appreciated Travis’s updates. Would absolutely recommend”


“Darius was very thorough. Constantly kept me updated with photos and videos. Took some of the best photos I’ve seen of my dog. Very professional. I didn’t worry much at all. Definitely appreciative of his time and care!”


“Natalie was super helpful while I was out of town. My dogs loved her! My plans changed a couple times because I needed to come home due to an incoming hurricane. She was patient and kept in excellent communication with me. I appreciate her flexibility and would recommend her as a great pet sitter!”


“Mateo was able to visit our cats during a last minute trip. He was so very thorough with feeding, cleaning, and playing with our boys. We got pictures and videos with every visit and felt very comfortable leaving them in Mateo's hands. I will be requesting Mateo's services again and I recommend anyone else to let him care for your animals!”


“Ismael was great taking care of my dog this past weekend. He was very professional, provided updates every time he completed a visit with pics, and took my dog on extra walks just to make sure he got some exercise.”


“Nupur was very nice and attentive to our kitties' needs. She accommodated all of our requests and made sure to send daily pictures and updates. We will be sure to book her again, if available, for our next travels. We were thankful to have her watch over our fluffy beasts, as they get quite lonely when we leave town.”


“Dani is the best. She is extremely knowledgeable but does not judge us for our ignorance of all things puppy like many would (she puts up with so many dumb questions with a smile on her face). She has been more than a dogsitter; rather, she has been our guide through our first crack at puppy parenthood, and I am sure even dog veterans could learn a great deal from her. More importantly, our pup absolutely loves her.”


“Carolina was able to home-visit my cat on very short notice when I was stuck out of town for longer than anticipated. Her service has been great and she is a great at communicating with me.”


“Liv was tremendous help with our cats! Our cats are very shy so how they warmed to her so quickly was a good testament to her care and patience for them! Great communication and very thoughtful. Highly recommend!”


About: I’ve been an animal lover all my life—growing up caring for childhood dog, Spot, helping friends with their pets, and fostering two dogs with different personalities and needs. Now, I share my home with a sweet dog of my own, Cleo, a chocolate lab mix, who’s both dog‑friendly and cat‑friendly. She adores playtime with other dogs, knows exactly when to take a break, and brings just the right mix of gentle, independent, silly, and sweet energy. I deeply understand that every pet has their own quirks, preferences, and pace. Whether your furry friend craves long outdoor adventures, some quiet cuddles, or playful social time, I tailor my care to fit what makes them feel most comfortable and happy. When you choose me, you’re getting: • Tailored care for your pet’s unique personality, learned from years of hands‑on experience including fostering and pet sitting. • A peaceful, friendly environment at home—with my calm and social pup by my side. • Trustworthy and attentive service, whether it’s walks, in‑home visits, or quality time. • Plenty of outdoor fun, because I love walking and spending time in nature as much as your pet will! I’m reliable, flexible, and passionate about giving every pet the love and attention they deserve. I’d be thrilled to meet you and your furry companion and design a care plan that fits just right. 🐶💕 I’m currently working freelance so my schedule is pretty flexible. I’d love to spend more time outside and walking dogs is a great excuse to soak up some sun! I grew up with a Jack Russell Terrier and have spent some time taking care of friends’ dogs. Now, I have a rescue pup of my own, Cleo, who is a chocolate lab mix! I’ve worked with a trainer to learn to better communicate with my dog and now she is off-leash trained and has great recall! I work hard to give her the best quality of life I can. I’m very patient and interested in learning what works for which dog. I’ll also be communicative with you to make sure I understand all there needs to know to take care of your pup!

“Burak was great! he was very communicative and super nice! he seems to get along with Cal very well and was easy to get in touch with and book everything!”

“Heaven was phenomenal. She was super punctual both with responding to my messages and in caring for my kitties. She’s super sweet and went out of her way to make sure my babies were comfortable. She sent tons of photos and videos as well which was much appreciated. She also washed a blanket for me when she didn’t need to and I really appreciated it. Overall, she was fantastic and a great sitter. She made me feel completely comfortable being away from home, knowing she was caring for my babies. This was my first time booking with her and I will do so again in the future! Thank you Heaven 😊”

“Lindsey was fantastic! Very accommodating to my needs. I appreciated her prompt replies. I had to extend my trip an extra day, and she was very helpful! I’ll definitely hire her again when I need someone to look for my kitty companions. Thank you, Lindsey. It was incredibly helpful, knowing that my cats were taken care of, so I can focus on other issues at hand.”

About: I started out in the pet industry working as a coach at a local dog daycare. I then transferred to dog bathing and starting to learn how to groom. I would love to expand my dog walking clients. I have walked labs, doodles of all sizes, German shepherds, poms, pit bulls, Rottweilers, and more so I have a range of experience with different breeds. I love being outdoors and exploring new horizons and would love to get your pup outdoors to enjoy the Houston city. Hope to meet you soon! I am available almost 100% of every week as I dedicate majority of my time to taking care of others dogs rather that’s dog walking, drop in visits, or pet sitting. I am here for you. :) I offer in home pet sitting and overnight boarding following all rules laid out by pet parent. Always have dog leashed up whenever outside unless in fenced in yard. Constantly playing and keeping an eye on pup at all times. Keep doggy bags and water bottle on me each walk visit


“Michele went above and beyond to make my cats comfortable while I was away. She sent lots of pictures and positive messages about how they were doing. Michele was amazing and I felt confident leaving my cats in her care!”

Melody H.
“I seriously can’t recommend Melody enough! She’s been such a gift for me and my pup, Bucky. She’s taken care of him both as a dog walker and sitter, and every single time I’ve felt completely at ease knowing he’s with her. Melody is super reliable and always keeps me in the loop, but what really stands out is how naturally she connected with Bucky. He’s usually pretty shy with new people, but he took to her almost instantly and now he gets SO excited every time he sees her. You can tell she genuinely loves animals. She’s calm, gentle, and super intuitive… she just gets dogs. Whether they’re in a playful mood or need a little space, she knows how to meet them where they’re at. I’ve noticed how much more relaxed and happy Bucky is after spending time with her, and that means everything to me. She treats him like her own, and that kind of care is rare to find. If you’re looking for someone kind, trustworthy, and amazing with animals, Melody’s your person.”

Patsy M.
“Patsy is THE most WONDERFUL pet sitter EVER!!! The care, attention to detail, follow up, professionalism, and the love she has for her job and her furry clients are just a few shining examples of her superior work ethic. We were gone for almost two weeks and I could enjoy my trip knowing she was there taking care of and giving the best of care to my dog and two parrot birds Not only are your pets given the best of care, but also her house was in amazing condition when we picked up our babies from her. All I can say is WOW, I am so totally impressed! I need to never look for any other pet sitter or kennel ever again. I have found the VERY BEST!!!! ***** Five stars plus!!!”
