Houston In-Home Dog & Cat Sitting
Your pets stay in the comfort of their own home. Our trusted team keeps their routine intact — whether that means walking the dog, scooping the litter box, or administering medications.
When you leave Houston, the hardest part isn't the packing. It's worrying about who's home with your dog. Since 2010, Shaggy Chic has provided in-home pet sitting across Greater Heights, Garden Oaks, Oak Forest, Spring Branch, Timbergrove, and Lazybrook. No boarding facilities. No strangers from a gig app. Just a familiar face in your dog's own home.
Why In-Home Pet Sitting?
- Home Is Comfort Boarding surrounds dogs with unfamiliar animals and sounds around the clock, and while that may be fine for some dogs, home is always the more comfortable option. In their own space, they eat, sleep, and play exactly as they would if you were there.
- Same Routine We follow your dog's feeding schedule, walk times, and any medications or special needs, so disruption is minimal even when you're away.
- W-2 Employees Only Every Shaggy Chic pet sitter is a background-checked, Fear Free Certified W-2 employee, not a 1099 contractor we found on an app. We can mandate their training and hold them accountable in ways gig platforms legally cannot.
- Real-Time Updates Photo reports after every visit, GPS check-ins, and a direct line to Kristen if anything comes up. No waiting on app support tickets.
