I love animals especially dogs and cats. The dogs should be nice, gentle breeds. I prefer small dogs but I also LOVE large labs and golden retrievers.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Interviewing the potential client and met the pets and learn the feeding routine (and walks for the dog), cat, bird/s (and any other caged pets). I chiefly serve dogs, cats and sometimes birds. I strongly suggest interviewing the pet owners and seeing the pet/s prior to starting the assignment as it is MOST IMPORTANT to feel comfortable with the situation prior to starting the pet assignment.
I can send a references online to clients prior to the interview.
I answer texts, emails and phone calls while the client is away if they want to check on how the pet/s are doing while they are away or at work ( for midday dog walks).
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have worked with pets in my business, "Houston Precious Pet Care" since 2000 and have much experience with all types of dogs, cats and caged pets (birds, hamsters, rabbits etc.).
Prior to pet sitting, I have earned degrees in Elementary Education and a Masters Degree in teaching the Blind and Visually Impaired (Boston College).
Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.
I charge $18 for clients ONLY a mile from my house (in zip code 77006) (This does NOT including apartments, which takes a while to park etc.). Otherwise, I charge $20 per pet care visit or $21 more than 4 miles away.
I charge $18 for midday walks (clients that live within 3 miles from me). Usually I would walk a dog a few times a week when someone is at work. I am not usually available on Tuesdays as I am full on that day.
How did you get started in this business?
I have always loved animals and decided to make my love for pets (hobby) become my business.
I am a nurturing type having taught school ( the blind and visually impaired and working as a case worker for the blind) for several years prior to starting my business in 2000.
What types of customers have you worked with?
My pet clients are generally, caring, warm people who love their pets and ontop of their pet/s care (up to date in their shots etc.).
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
There is client of mine that had a 4 cats and one cat which had a scrating problem (and he bleed a little in his neck area due to scrating). Since my own cat formerly scratched in the same area, I placed some "collars" made with some of my old socks. I decided to look in my "socks drawer" and found two socks to cut up and use for this cat's neck area to motivate this male cat not to scratch.
