How did you hone your craft?
Our founder Meredith De Olavarria was a frequent traveler and faced challenges to accommodate her then 13-year-old miniature schnauzer, Leslie. Kennels weren’t an option because Leslie's medical issues. As she grew older, she needed more care and attention in her own familiar environment. Back then, there weren’t any formal pet sitting companies around Houston. Meredith depended on friends and family which became a burden for them over time. She founded Urban Pet Sitting to help Houston pet owners travel or go to work without worries. Most of our pet sitting team members have pets at home of their own, have rescued countless animals and truly love animals of all kinds. All pet sitters go through a thorough background check. You and your pet will meet your pet sitter in person before visits begin.
What tip would you give pet parents for working with animals that you've learned as a pro?
Stick with a routine-they crave it like small children! Before our pet sitters are in your home, you will be providing us with details, even the tiny ones, so that we can maintain your routine as much as possible while you are away from your precious pets.
What is one thing you want pet parents to know about you? It can be whatev-fur you'd like!
We only hire pet sitters we would have in our own home, and they truly care about your pets as if they were their own. We often say we wouldn't hire pet sitters unless they are someone we'd have in our own homes!

Customer Reviews
This is the only way to go. Our animals are our family and Urban Pet Sitting has been taking care of mine for years now. The manager, Elyssa is unbelievably caring, considerate and compassionate. She always goes the extra mile to ensure that you and your animals are watched and tended to with the utmost care. The same individual, Richard, has always been the person that comes and cares for my animals and he always makes sure to take pictures and send really wonderful updates. Nothing makes you happier than seeing and reading these and knowing everything is okay. Urban Pet Sitting doesn't feel like another business or another service. They feel like a trusted friend and I believe that is so important when you are asking someone to go inside your home and take care of your family. Thank you Urban Pet Sitting.....for everything.
- Adam SI have had nothing but excellent service from this company! My dog (Harley) was abused before I adopted her so she can be very shy and particular with the people who walk her. Urban Pet Sitting has been so patient with her in finding a routine that works for her. Harley has come to love Tammie so much! I am also a nurse so I don’t always work the same days and have to work weekends and holidays, they have been extremely accommodating in my schedule.
- Andrea FTook great care of my dog! He was pretty shy at first, but it didn’t take long for Goose and his walkers to become best friends. They always leave good notes and photos from the walks which gives good peace of mind if you’re out of town or at work.
- Natalie PI have used Richard from Urban Pet Sitting many times and he’s always been there for me, even in a pinch. He takes very good care of my chihuahua mix pups and they love him. The reports and pictures he posts to the website are always full of useful details and he always arrives within the promised timeframe. I never worry about about leaving Chase & Ollie with Urban Pet Sitters. Thanks, Richard!
