Macey did a great job of taking care of my pet. Since, she is a trainer it helped with my dogs anxiety issues.

Karla is great. Very easy to work with. Most importantly she treats Wilson like her own. Wilson loves visiting her. He is safe happy and a little spoiled.

Macey was PHENOMENAL with my dog for the weekend. Macey is a great choice because she is a professional trainer and is accustomed to a variety of different dog types. She checked in with me periodically throughout my dogs stay, gave great updates and catered to all of my dogs needs. Would definitely book again!!

David took great care of Mac. It was very apparent that Mac had a great time for the few days that he was with David. I will absolutely book David again in the future.

Brock was an amazing sitter for our dog! He was patient, attentive, and clearly has a natural way with animals. Our dog absolutely adored him. We felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. We ll definitely be booking with Brock again highly recommend!

Judith took such great care of my elderly weenie dog. She was able to accommodate all the needs of a toothless old dachshund, including giving daily meds. She even let her sleep in the human bed which we all know is heaven for a weenie dog! Judith kept in touch and provided updates and photos which was nice to see while away. Plus all my dog s linens came back smelling nicer than when I left them. I need to find out what she uses :) I highly recommend Judith to anyone who needs attentive and reliable overnight care for their doggie.

The best dog events in Houston

iWalk for Animals
Lace up your sneakers, leash up your dog, and get ready to join forces with heaps of other animal lovers to raise money for the Houston SPCA. iWalk for Animals, held at Memorial Park on the Picnic Loop, features two enjoyable options — a 5K Canine Caper and a 1K Mutt Strut. You can walk or run by yourself or as a team, and well-behaved dogs are welcomed with open paws. There’s plenty more to see and do around the walk as well, with doggy demonstrations, live music, and products from a variety of vendors. However, the most fun is usually had at the variety of pet-friendly contests, so why not see whether your pooch could take home the title of Best Costume, Pet/Owner Lookalike, or even Best Kisser?

Strut Your Mutt Houston
If you love dogs and want to raise money for an extraordinary animal rescue group, it’s time to strut your mutt! This annual fundraising event and dog walk is the brainchild of Best Friends Animal Society, with multiple events held around the country. The Houston event takes place in Stude Park and gives participants the chance to raise money for Best Friends or for hundreds of other participating shelters, rescue organizations, and animal welfare groups. Just as important, it’s a fur-tastic way for you and your dog to get some exercise, spend some quality time together, and meet plenty of other animal lovers!

K-9 Fun Run & Walk
Another great doggy dash for a cause, the annual K-9 Fun Run & Walk raises much-needed funds to benefit Houston Humane Society. A staple on the social calendar for Houston animal lovers, this event has been running for well over three decades and is always a great day out. It’s a laid-back, relaxed, and social way to get some exercise with your furry friend, while there are always heaps of great vendors on hand if you and your pet feel like a little retail therapy.

Howl-O-Ween Fest
Why should Halloween be limited to just a few hours of trick-or-treating? Why not enjoy a whole day of spooky fun with your furry friend by your side at this paw-some annual festival? Howl-O-Ween Fest, which attracts several-thousand dog lovers to the northwestern suburb of Bridgeland each year, allows you to do exactly that. The centrepiece of the event is the entertainment on the main stage, which includes a host of demonstrations and performances from some truly talented canines. Other highlights include the super-cute doggie fashion show, pumpkin decorating, a farmers’ market, and trick or treating, so make sure to bring the whole family along!
April Showers Dog Wash and Family Fun Day
Is your pooch getting a bit on the nose? Let someone else do the hard work of washing him at this woof-tastic family event, which also raises money for a good cause. Held by Friends of the Phoenix, a non-profit with a mission to give back to the greater Houston area, the April Showers Dog Wash features a dog washing station so you can get your pooch looking, feeling, and smelling like a million bucks! There’s plenty more fun to be had on the day, with pet-friendly vendors, free pet nail clippings, a silent auction, and beer and food specials, so it’s well worth going along — even if your pet isn’t all that fond of baths!
