The problem every travelling dog parent hits

Most hotels will not let you leave your dog alone in the room.

So the dinner, the meeting, the wedding, the game. All of it gets complicated. Boarding your dog in a strange city is stressful for both of you, and hauling them along is not always an option.

We solve it the simple way. One of our team comes to you and stays with your dog, right where they already are.

What a hotel visit looks like:

  • One team member, just for your pet, for the whole booking
  • Walks, feeding, fresh water, and real company
  • We follow your hotel's pet and access rules exactly
  • Photos and a written report so you can check in from dinner
  • Quiet and private. Your business stays your business

"As a veterinarian, I looked very carefully for a small, caring dog walking service that could meet my 8 year old Golden's needs. I could not be more grateful for the whole Shady Waggers team."

Good questions

Travelling with a dog in Houston

Can I leave my dog alone in my hotel room?
Most hotels do not allow it, and many ask that a pet is never left alone in a room. That is exactly why we exist. One of our team stays with your dog in your room, or takes them out for a walk, so you can go to your meeting, dinner, or event without breaking a single house rule.
How fast can you come?
Call or text 832-305-6232 and we will tell you straight away what we can do. We keep room for travel requests, though the same day is not always possible. The earlier you reach out, the better.
What does it cost?
Hotel visits are $95 an hour with a 3 hour minimum. You cover parking at the property, and a $20 staff gratuity is added. There is no charge to ask.
Do you follow the hotel rules?
Always. We check in the way your property asks, follow every pet and access policy, and keep things quiet and private. Hotel teams send us their guests because we make them look good.
Is my dog safe with someone new?
Every team member is a W-2 employee we background check and train. We are insured and bonded and members of Pet Sitters International. You get photos and a written report from the visit, so you can check in from dinner.
Do you only work with hotels?
No. We also care for pets in private residences, corporate stays, and for families hosting guests. If you are in Houston and need one on one pet care for a short stay, ask us.
