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!
