Providing Pet Sitting, Dog Walking, Overnight Pet Sitting, Cat Sitting in Houston Area

Welcome to Houston’s Best Pet Sitters. We provide care and comfort to pets when their owners are away, which means peace of mind for you as a pet parent. That’s right — you and your pets are a part of our family. While we care for your pets, we care for you, too. And that’s been our mission from the very beginning.

Our Story

More than twelve years ago, Houston’s Best Pet Sitters was founded to bring the highest level of pet care to furry family members in the Houston area. It’s been an incredible experience, and with the help of our fantastic team of pet sitters and dog walkers, we have cared for thousands of cats and dogs over the years. We are a local, family-owned business that understands how stressful it can be to leave your pets alone when you are away from home.

Cara-Lisa Leatherman, the owner of Houston’s Best Pet Sitters, has been around pets her entire life. Growing up in a home filled with rescue, foster, and adopted animals triggered a love and passion for pets that have never stopped. Cara-Lisa, and her husband, Brad, have had many pets over the years, and their current family includes three dogs, Jax, Leila, and Tank, in addition to their six kids. They live in Tomball and, when not working, can be found at local baseball fields, football fields, choir concerts, or out enjoying all that the Houston area has to offer.

Why You Need a Pet Sitter

Whether your furbaby needs a mid-day potty break while you’re at work, or more specialized care while you’re out of town, Houston’s Best Pet Sitters has you covered. Our sitters are friendly, caring, and experienced. As a matter of fact, they often become like part of the family. Your sitter will tenderly care for your pets while you focus on your job or relax during a much-deserved vacation. In addition, we strive to streamline your experience by making the process as simple as possible.

We provide:

  • Easy online scheduling
  • Complimentary meet-and-greet
  • Convenient payment process
  • Quick response to your questions and concerns
  • Concerned about security? Our sitters are bonded and insured, and undergo a professional background check. We take our clients’ privacy seriously, and all of your information is both secure and confidential.

What Our Clients Say

Our clients never have to worry about leaving their pets at a cold, sterile boarding facility. And they don’t have to comb through listings for dog walkers who may not be trustworthy. Instead, they can enjoy their time away, knowing their pets are safe, secure, and happy at home.

We owe a huge thank you to our client family. Ours has been a wonderful story, and we hope you’ll be part of it for years to come.

Above and Beyond

It went AWESOME! Usually, when I plan to have the pet sitters come, I leave all the supplies out on the counter. Under the circumstances, only the dry food was on the counter. The wet food was "hidden" away in my cupboard. Alice took the initiative to search out the wet cat food so that my babies could stay on their regular feeding schedule & not have to miss out on their "treat" of wet food. Alice was truly a Godsend as I was in the ER & hospital from 10pm Wednesday night until 4pm Thursday. The kitties would have been ok, but at the time, the prognosis was a much longer hospital. As such, the relief went a long way in allowing me to focus on the matters at hand. Melanie staffs her business with knowledgeable people & the demonstration of initiative proved the "Above & Beyond" service level of this business, & Alice in particular. Thanks again! I LOVE being able to rest peacefully knowing my babies will be well taken care of.
