Book Your Free Meet and Greet
Reach out and pick a time for your free meet and greet. This is where we get to know your pet, your home, and your routine, with no pressure and no cost.
Whether you live in a Montrose high-rise or a bungalow off Westheimer, the pet services Montrose neighbors rely on come right to your door. Every new client starts with a free meet and greet, so you know exactly who is caring for your pet before anything begins.
We hold a real City of Houston business license and full bonding and insurance through Pet Sitters Associates. No gig-app walker can say the same, so your home and your pet are protected from the very first visit. It is the baseline for pet services Montrose can trust.
You get one consistent primary sitter who learns your pet's routine, plus a named backup you meet in advance. This is the kind of pet services Montrose families deserve: a familiar face each time, never a random stranger from an app.
From energetic pups to shy senior cats, we shape every visit around the animal in front of us: feeding, fresh water, playtime, medication, and a proper welfare check. That range is what makes the pet services Montrose pets enjoy feel personal.
Trusted by Houston pet owners and committed to maintaining the highest standards of professional pet care.
One-on-one private dog walks paced to your dog, not a pack. Ideal for Montrose's busy streets and apartment living, with GPS-tracked routes you can follow in real time.

Common questions from Montrose pet owners about our dog walking, pet sitting, and visit services. Still wondering about something? Reach out and we will answer it directly.
Yes. Strut & Sniff holds a business license issued by the City of Houston, and we are bonded and insured through Pet Sitters Associates. That matters more than most people realize. When you book a walker through a gig app, there is often no real license, no consistent insurance, and no accountability if something goes wrong. Choosing the pet services Montrose owners trust means your home and your pet are protected from the very first visit. Our caregivers are experienced and background-checked, and we introduce your sitter in person during the free meet and greet, so you always know exactly who is entering your home and caring for your pet.
Yes, and it is one of the biggest reasons Montrose pet owners choose us over app-based services. You are matched with one consistent primary sitter who learns your pet’s personality, routine, and quirks. You also meet a named backup sitter in advance, so if your primary is ever unavailable, your pet still sees a familiar face rather than a total stranger. Consistency lowers stress for your pet and builds a real relationship over time. Dogs settle faster, cats warm up sooner, and you get peace of mind knowing the same trusted person keeps showing up. It is the standard we hold every pet services Montrose booking to, not a random booking filled by whoever happens to be free that day.
Every walk and visit is tracked in real time through the TimeToPet app. When your sitter arrives, you get an arrival notification. During a dog walk you can see the route on a live map, including potty breaks and how far your dog went. When the visit ends, you receive a departure time, photos, and a short note about how your pet did. For Montrose pet owners juggling work, travel, and packed schedules, this transparency is a genuine relief. You are never left wondering whether your dog actually got walked or your cat actually got fed. You simply check your phone and see exactly what happened, when, and where. That transparency comes with every pet services Montrose booking.
Yes. Overnight pet sitting is among the most requested pet services Montrose travelers ask for. Instead of boarding your pet in an unfamiliar kennel, your sitter provides in-home overnight care so your pet keeps its own bed, food, toys, and routine. This is far less stressful for most animals, especially anxious dogs and independent cats who do best in familiar surroundings. You get the same consistent sitter, GPS-tracked visits, and regular photo updates throughout your trip. Many clients across Montrose and nearby Galleria rely on this while away, knowing their pet and their home are both looked after by someone they have already met and trust.
The free meet and greet is a no-cost, in-person meeting between you, your pet, and the sitter before any service begins. It is required for every service except waste removal, and it is one of the most important parts of how we work. During the meeting your sitter learns your pet’s temperament, feeding and medication needs, walking routine, and any special instructions. You get to ask questions, see who will be caring for your pet, and decide with full confidence. It removes the anxiety of handing your keys and your pet to someone you have never met. By the time real care starts, your pet already recognizes the sitter, and you already trust them. It is the foundation of the pet services Montrose owners recommend.
Booking is simple. You start by requesting a free meet and greet through our online portal. Once you are set up, you can schedule walks, visits, or overnight care whenever you need them, adjust bookings, and view visit reports in one place through the TimeToPet app. Payments are handled securely through the same portal, so there is no cash to leave out and no awkward payment chase. Scheduling stays flexible, which suits Montrose owners with changing work and travel plans. If you want to understand what the pet services Montrose offers actually cost, take a look at our pricing page or just ask us during your meet and greet.
Yes. Along with Montrose, we serve several nearby central Houston neighborhoods, so if you are on the edge of the area or splitting time between homes, we can usually still help. Our current service areas include the Heights, River Oaks, the Medical Center, Galleria, Bellaire, Memorial, Downtown, and East Downtown. Because we focus on these inner-loop communities rather than spreading thin across all of Houston, the pet services Montrose depends on stay close and quick to respond. If you are unsure whether we cover your exact street, just reach out and we will confirm right away.
