If you ever hesitated to leave your pets, WORRY NO MORE....we hired Shady Waggers to sit for our two (2) girls (Westies) and our two (2) cats from July 1-5. One of our Westies was on medication for a rash and she is TERRIFIED of the fireworks. Shady treated her to some delicious cheeze whiz to get down her meds, he took them to the park everyday AND most important to us he let them sleep with him just like when we are at home. In fact, I think they may already be missing Shady!!!

Shady is VERY conscious about the care that he gives and prior to him coming over he asked all the appropriate questions like, when and how much are they fed, is there any medications I need to make sure they take and is there any other information I need to keep them comfortable while you are away.

Shady obviously LOVES animals and he was very aware how much owners are concerned while they are away so he sent us a number of very reassuring photos and videos of the girls and their care. I have NEVER felt as comfortable about leaving our girls before this weekend.

If you would like to discuss our experience in anymore detail, Shady has our permission to give out our number as a reference. More...

Shady is the only person I trust to take care of my dog. He is so responsible, communicative, nice, and passionate for what he does. My dog is super happy when she returns and always looks like she is having a great time in the update pictures that he sends! He really provides peace of mind. Houston is definitely lucky to have someone so trustworthy! I highly recommend him for everyone. More...

Shady Waggers is beyond incredible! Shady took care of my Sun Conure while i was out on vacation. He loved on my bird and updated me every time he came for a visit. Everything was convenient, from the consolation to payment method. He was very accommodating and loving with my Feather baby. Thank you Shady!!! More...

We brought Copper home when he was 10 weeks old, about 3 months ago and I called Shady because I saw his business card in our apartment's leasing office. He listened to all of my crazy dog mom requests and came to check on our baby up to 3x per day. He played with him indoors when it was hot and avoided places that I asked when Copper didn't have all his shots yet. He helped with crate/potty training and gave our puppy lots of love when we couldn't! He has been there since the beginning and Shady loves my dog like his own and always provides excellent care. Shady always goes the extra mile and provides superior service - when Copper chewed through his leash under Shady's supervision he ran to Petco to replace it the same day. He has taken Copper along with him on group walks to help socialize him and will bathe him, trim his nails, etc. without being asked. He even took Copper to Galveston once while we were away for the weekend - they hang like pals. I know I can rely on Shady to care for Copper like I would and I love seeing his Instagram updates throughout the day. Highly recommend!! More...

Guys! Shady is literally the best pet sitter out here! I asked him if he would come by and hang out with my pet Zazu, a sun conure (he’ s a bird). He gladly came out to my place, did a full out consultation, and asked every question a per owner would want asked. Zazu immediately bonded with Shady. Shady comes on time, and with a all the fun. Every time he visits Zazu he posts it on *********. Zazu is always happy and dancing when Shady is around. BOOK HIM NOW! Your pet is in the best hands! More...

Shady was great with my dog, came as scheduled, fed, walked and got along well with him and provided photos. He also fed the cats although they did not show themselves when he was on site. This is not the full 5-star rating because there was a delay of several days in returning my house key, and an extra $5 "last minute" fee was charged, although our agreement was made more then two weeks in advance, because he did not enter the information into his online management program until the day before the first visit, which it considers "last minute" and added the additional charge. It was deducted from the tip I added, so no additional out-of-pocket expense for me, but still troubling. Presumably these glitches will be worked out. I was happy with the services provided.

I have a very energetic German Shepherd who needs an energetic caretaker to match. I can say without reservation that the service provided by Shady Waggers exceeded all expectations I had. Shady was great in keeping me posted with daily updates, both pictures and videos. If you're always curious Shady Waggers' social media updates are always a treat when you're miles away from your pet. I've had my dog stay at many pet boarding locations, but the services from Shady Waggers are unmatched. More...

I wish there were more than 5 stars  I could give Shady Waggers. One word: AMAZING! His services are out of this world with how caring and loving he is towards our sweet  Bella  I was traveling for 2 weeks and he updated me with pictures and videos on a regular basis. It made the trip way easier knowing she was being loved as much as I love her.  We got updated info , aka "Bark Card", on how long the walks were, when she used the restroom, etc . Attached is a picture of what a "Bark Card" looks like.  Now that we're back, Shady is part of our pets regular routine for walks when we get too busy. Shady is the best! Do you and your pet a favor and book Shady Waggers for all pet services! More...
