Since I was young I've loved animals - both learning about and taking care of them. I founded Animal Companions in 2003 to share my love of animals with my clients and pet owners all over the Houston area. I am an experienced Veterinary Technician, Certified Veterinary Paramedic, and Dog Trainer. From 2003-2007, my husband and I volunteered for Houston Area Doberman Rescue as a foster home. I was a Veterinary Technician for 9 years: 2 years at PetVet and 7 years at Gulf Coast Veterinary Specialists (GCVS).

I have used Animal Companions Pet Sitting now for well over 6 years. They are fabulous and my dogs love them. I use them for walks during the work week and pet sitting when I leave town. It's wonderful peace of mind to know my babies are safe and well cared for when I'm not here to do it.

Animal Companions has taken care of my cats for several years now and I am very happy with their service (and we are a crazy cat houshold!). They are doing an excellent job. They are reliable, friendly and knowledgeable, and I swear my cat was looking forward to get that extra care that came with his insulin shot! I have used them when I was out of town and after I came home from surgery. Next petsitting job is already scheduled!

We've been using Animal Companions for about 17 years and have been extremely happy. Cheryl is so kind and professional and we trust her completely with our pets. Special thanks to Rodney and Barbara who have helped take care of our cats over the years- they are awesome!

I travel for work quite often and have trusted Animal Companions for several years. My labrador is full of life, energy and excitement, and their staff have exceptionally met all of her needs for attention, playtime and care. I'm very thankful for all they have done to take care of her while I'm away and always feel safe knowing that they have her and my needs as their primary focus. I will continue to work with them only for as long as I need their help.

Great pet sitting service, both professional and personable. Our first meeting allayed any worries I had about care. The sitter and a co-owner attended the walkthrough visit and asked all the right questions, and took care to take good notes. Special needs were handled perfectly during visits. Plant care was excellent as well. Lots of impressive customer care at a competitive price. I highly recommend them.

I've used Animal Companions for close to 15 years to take care of my dogs and my parrots. They are the very best and can handle all situations including medication administration. I completely trust them with timely visits and daily reports sent to me. Please give them a try next time you need dependable pet sitting!

We have used the services Animal Companions offers for several years. Each time we have been very pleased. Animal Companions has responded in a timely matter to questions we had, and signing up for pet sitting was easy. Our pet-sitter has been wonderful each time, and has left the house clean. Peace of mind while on vacation is very important and we are happy to have a service and pet-sitter that we trust.

Animal Companions have been taking great care of my pets since 2005. They are conscientious and respectful and, most importantly, they love my pets and my pets love them!

Animal Companions provides the best care for our pets, plants and house when we are away. They came recommended through a pet sitter that a family member trusts as being the best for our area (Meyerland/Willowbend/etc). When you first contact them, they set up an appointment for the entire care team to meet and greet the pets, understand your preferences & the pet schedules, and document food location, requests and other rules.

They were clearly knowledgeable and had great questions, plus had a leave behind packet with helpful reminders and other information. We have used them twice to care for our dogs and cats while we were away, and have had wonderful experiences with the owners and multiple staff. They send photo and updates at whatever regularity you request (and follow through, which isn't always the case at other boarding/sitting services we have used), and also provide written notes for each visit. If you are in their service area, I can't recommend their team strongly enough.

I've been using Animal Companions for a few year to watch my 3 cats. They keep my cats happy and healthy while we are away - both in the US and internationally. They are good with the alarm system and home security. The sitters follow our instructions and leave the house in great shape. We never worry about the pets while we are away! I definitely recommend this company for any one who wants an animal lover to look after their pet. They leave a daily progress note about the cats and the house including their intake and output. Very professional and easy to book online.
