Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Westchase, Houston

“She was such a life saver! One of my dogs is always afraid of everyone because of traumas with previous owners, so I was a little worried about her, but Mixie sent me pictures everyday, and I got to see her being herself, chilling on the dog bed, walking and eating. I will definitely use her again!”

About: I have lifelong experience and a genuine love for animals. I grew up with both dogs and cats and would assist in caring for my neighbor's animals when they were out of town. I have also had several roommates with both types of animals as well so I know how to handle pets of all ages. Since I have a cat, a dog that is cat-friendly is a must for me when boarding in my own home! Additionally, I may be boarding more than one animal at a time so we should discuss any behavioral needs or requirements to keep separated. I prefer to be as transparent as possible. I am open to any dynamic when providing pet care outside of my home. Working remotely allows me to be almost always home, ensuring your pets get the attention they deserve. During COVID, I spent weeks caring for various animals in client's homes and ranches, gaining hands-on experience with dogs, cats, and various other animals like guinea pigs, rabbits, sugar gliders, birds, etc. I am very interested in knowing about the habits you keep when caring for your animals and any fun or quirky behaviors they may have. Communication is key, and I want to know it all to make both you and your animal feel safe and at ease. Whether it is for a check-in, a nice walk, or boarding. My background in pet sitting, combined with my current lifestyle, makes me a reliable and dedicated caregiver for your furry friends. I work remotely during regular business hours. This means that I do need to be home with a private internet connection whilst working. However, I do have much more flexibility with being able to go for walks, check-ins, or basic presence and care. In my home: I have a first floor apartment with a very large L-shaped privacy screened concrete patio. There is a drain in my patio and turf grass. I do not have any toxic plants to cats or dogs within my home area. I also do not own a dog crate. I am a cat friendly home and am open to other cats and having another litter box for them. Please make me aware of any medical issues your animal has and whether they would need to be kept separated for the safety of my own animal. I do have cameras in my main living space. In my client's home: I follow your rules in your home. I would never bring another animal or human into it and I respect your privacy and the safety of your animal(s) and belongings. I do ask for clear instructions and communication and am happy to provide the same in return. Whether that's photos or texts to see how your fur baby is doing or quick and reasonable last minute requests.

“Sara was amazing!!! She’s always on time and very organized. She brushed Diesel every time. Cleaned the litters and the best thing was lots of cute pictures too!!! She watered all my plants and pulled out the trash!!! My Diesel was loving her and my Dior is still skittish. I wasn’t worried at all while I was away. We’ll having her again soon!!! Thank you so much Sara ❣️”

“Jake was a great sitter and my dogs automatically were comfortable with him coming for drop ins. He came on time for each drop in and utilized the report cards every time with multiple pictures. I would recommend Jake to take care of your pups anytime.”

Amanda J.

“Sherry performed drop in visits for my kitties twice daily. She was communicative, professional, on time and friendly- coming for a meet n greet to get to know the kitties and their routine. We got daily photo updates and kitties were happy when we got home! Definitely recommend Sherry and won’t hesitate to request her services again!”

Melissa B.

“We used Mya for the first time this weekend to check on our cat. She was great! She feed her, play with her and even help us clean out the cat litter box. We will definitely used her again. We also decided to extend our stay for another day and she was able to accommodate our last minute changes.”

Paula N.

“Alayna was great! My cat is sometimes shy around new people but he warmed up to her immediately. She kept me posted with pictures and kept him on his medication schedule. Would recommend Alayna and will book with her again!”

About: What truly sets me apart as a dog care provider is the unique blend of my professional background, genuine love for canines, and a home environment (or visiting presence) perfectly suited for their happiness. As a tech professional working remotely, my schedule offers exceptional flexibility for all your dog's needs. This means more consistent attention, timely walks, feeding, and playtime, seamlessly integrated into my day. Whether it's energetic dog walks, stimulating daycare, cozy overnight boarding, or comforting drop-in visits, I'm adept at digital organization and methodical processes. This translates into meticulous care for your dog's routine, specific feeding schedules, medication reminders, or training reinforcement – think of me as a project manager for their well-being! My approach to all dogs is rooted in patience, positive reinforcement, and emotional intelligence, allowing me to quickly build trust and ensure their comfort. I understand that every wagging tail has a unique personality, and I'm committed to providing tailored care that respects their individual needs, whether they're a playful puppy, a senior needing gentle attention, or a shy rescue. Your canine companion will receive genuine companionship and a tranquil, attentive presence, no matter the service. My Flexible Work-From-Home Schedule Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily and weekly routine thanks to the flexibility of my full-time remote job. Working from home during weekdays, and sometimes weekends, means I'm able to provide consistent and attentive care throughout the day. My schedule allows for frequent breaks to accommodate walks, playtime, feeding, and potty breaks, ensuring your pet sticks to their routine and gets plenty of attention. I can easily adjust my start and end times to fit around specific needs, like early morning walks for energetic pups or late-night cuddles. This flexibility ensures that whether your pet is here for boarding, daycare, or I'm visiting them for a walk or drop-in, they receive the dedicated, hands-on care they need and deserve, without long stretches of being alone. Ensuring your pet's safety, building trust, and providing a positive environment are my top priorities, whether they're enjoying a stay in my home or I'm visiting yours. My approach is tailored to the specific service your pet needs. For Care in My Home (Boarding & Daycare): My home provides a calm, clean, and secure environment where your pet can feel comfortable and relaxed. Before any stay, I ensure all potential hazards are secured, and my space is thoroughly pet-proofed. I maintain a consistent routine that mirrors, as closely as possible, your pet's usual schedule for feeding, potty breaks, and playtime, minimizing stress and promoting a sense of normalcy. I limit the number of pets I care for at any given time to ensure each animal receives ample one-on-one attention and personalized care. I'm highly attentive to body language, ensuring all pets in my care are compatible and comfortable. For Care in Your Home (Drop-Ins & Dog Walking): When I'm caring for your pet in your home, respecting your space and maintaining your pet's established routine are paramount. Prior to my first visit, we'll discuss detailed instructions for feeding, medications, preferred walking routes, and any specific quirks or habits your pet may have. For dog walks, I prioritize their safety by always using a secure leash and harness, avoiding overly crowded areas if preferred, and being vigilant about environmental hazards. For drop-in visits, I ensure all doors are securely locked upon arrival and departure, your pet's feeding and potty needs are met, and I spend quality time engaging with them through play or gentle companionship. I'm also mindful of leaving your home exactly as I found it, only tidying up after pet-related activities. For All Services Open Communication: I believe trust starts with clear and consistent communication. I'll provide regular updates, photos, and videos of your pet's activities and well-being, giving you peace of mind while you're away. Emergency Preparedness: I'm familiar with local emergency veterinary services and will have all your vet's contact information readily available. In the unlikely event of an emergency, I'm prepared to act swiftly and decisively, keeping you informed every step of the way. Experienced & Observant: My years of experience with pets, combined with my attentive nature, allow me to quickly notice any changes in behavior or health that might indicate a concern. My background in quality analysis and methodical processes means I pay close attention to detail, ensuring all instructions are followed precisely. Ultimately, my goal is to provide a safe, trustworthy, and enriching experience for your beloved pet, giving you complete confidence in their care.

“Soojen jumped in, even with short notice, and took good care of Max, my new pride and joy. Good communications and Excellent Action Photos!!”

About: I have a 11.5 years old Samoyed, I have him since 2 months old. I have experiences to take care a dog with different ages I have a flexible job and try to spread my love with other pets. Especially nowaday lots of jobs start requiring the employees return to office, I want to offer more love and care to those pets so they won’t feel lonely for all day long. Introduce myself to the pets like how we meet human. Build up the trust and comfort. Observe their body languages to offer anything that they need.

“Radica is the best! I feel so good knowing our pup is in good hands, and he absolutely loves her he looks so happy in the photo updates!!”

About: I've cared for and been around every type of dog throughout my life. From my own pets to dog sitting and even training, I make it a goal for each animal to have their best time. I cared for my own border collie for 14 years. A very high energy dog who loved to travel miles at a time, several times a day. I ensure exercise and any enrichment is met daily. Constant care and supervision is necessary for highly active animals. This includes their proper diet and feeding times.

About: Ever since I can remember I’ve been a dog person. I’ve had up to eight dogs at a single time, two of which were seniors in need of special care. I’ve been dog-sitting and walking professionally for nearly 5 years, and in that time I have had the opportunity to care for a wide variety of dogs and cats. I have cared for both seniors and pups, and have even learned to administer insulin for my diabetic doggies! I graduated from the University of Houston about a year ago whoop whoop. Since, I have been working full time, which is reflected in my availability. I do work from home three days a week, so feel free to ask about days that show me as unavailable! When it comes to boarding and sitting, I always try my best to maintain the environment and routine that the pets are used to. I am very open to pet parents leaving me detailed instructions and schedules/routines for their pets. Overall, my goal is to ensure that the cuties experience no level of distress at their parents being away, and I do this by listening and learning from the ones that know them the best: their parents.
