Spring Branch pet sitting in your home, in your neighborhood.
When you travel, your pets stay home in Spring Branch — in their own space, on their own schedule. Dogs get their morning walks through established mid-century streets, easy access to Memorial, and yards built for a real walk. Cats get litter-box care, fresh food, medication, and company on their own terms. We walk the calm interior streets off Long Point, take the long way past Spring Branch Memorial Park, and know which routes stay safely away from the busy corridors.

In Spring Branch
Spring Branch clients often book longer stretches — three to five days while traveling for work is common. We're set up for extended overnight care here and keep daily photo and note updates running throughout. Dogs in Spring Branch who are used to Spring Branch Memorial Park get that kept in the routine; we don't substitute a shorter sidewalk walk when the park is part of your dog's regular day.

Spring Branch · Frequently asked
What Spring Branch pet owners ask about in-home sitting.
Do you provide in-home pet sitting throughout Spring Branch?
Yes — Spring Branch is one of our core service areas. We've been doing in-home overnight stays in this neighborhood since 2010. Your sitter comes to your home in Spring Branch, follows your dog's exact routine, and stays the night so your pet never has to leave.
Will my dog actually stay in my home the whole time?
Yes, always. We do not board dogs at another location or take them to a sitter's home. Your dog sleeps in their own bed, eats on their own schedule, and gets their morning and evening walks from the same familiar sitter the whole time you're away.
Can you handle medications or a senior dog?
Absolutely. We're comfortable with oral medications, eye drops, insulin, and specialty diets. We're also experienced with senior dogs who need slower walks, more frequent potty breaks, and extra patience. Just tell us the details at the meet & greet and we'll build the care plan around your dog.
How do I get started?
Send us a note through the contact form, call 832-868-8430, or email contact@shaggychicpetservices.com. We'll schedule a free meet & greet in your home — your sitter comes to you, meets your dog, and walks through your routine before any booking is confirmed.
We travel frequently for work — can you accommodate recurring multi-night bookings?
Yes, and that's actually how most of our Spring Branch clients work with us. Three-to-five night bookings for work travel are common in this area. Once we've done the meet & greet and confirmed the routine, recurring bookings are easy to schedule. We're set up for long-term clients, not one-off visits.
