Meet Our Sitters
Here at Pooch Patrol we love our pet sitters and know you and your pets will too!
Pooch Patrol Sitters are all Bonded and Insured thru PSI (Pet Sitters International) and have also had a extensive background check before becoming a member of our team. We are also a member of the Houston Better Business Bureau and proud to say we have an A+ rating.
Our team of more than 15 pet sitters allows coverage throughout most of Fort Bend County. Once you have met with and have been assigned a sitter, typically a sitter that lives closest to you, you will have that same sitter for any future pet care needs. You will be notified if another pet sitter needs to fill in and you will have the opportunity to meet that sitter as well.
Many of our sitters have been certified in CPR and carry other certifications as well. We also like to keep our sitters on a long term basis providing you consistency and the best possible care.
Here at Pooch Patrol we understand that sometimes a sitter and a client or clients pets just don't see eye to eye. Please let us know and we can arrange for you to get to know another sitter that just may be the perfect fit.
Lori Warnica
My main bio is on the first page of this website. I wear many hats here at Pooch Patrol which include, well everything! The only negative to running your own petsitting service is when you become as big as we have you just can't do it all. I have had to turn over many of my favorite jobs and miss seeing all of my furry friends. I do fill in quite often though and thats the best part because alot of these pets are real characters and they are pure entertainment sometimes. The biggest challenge is finding competent and pet friendly pet sitters to become a part of our team. I take this part of my job very seriously as I am a homeowner and pet owner as well.

Teresa Pinyon (no photo yet)
Hi I am Teresa. I started as a client with Pooch Patrol. I had tried several other sitters but I was still searching for a sitter that would treat our pets "special" and not like a paycheck. I was thrilled with the level of care Lori gave to my babies. I was so thrilled that I wanted to be part of the Pooch Patrol Team! I have lived in Greatwood for 6 years. I am married and the proud mother of five amazing children. We have a house full of pets. We have cats, dogs, a rabbit, a frog and some fish. Most of them were strays. I have an obvious passion for rescuing stray and abandoned animals. I grew up on a farm, so I have raised, trained and cared for animals all my life. I understand your pet is a highly valued member of your family and always deserves the BEST possible care and attention when you cannot be home. I look foward to the opportunity to meet and care for your babies. I will take good care of them, give them lots of loving attention while you are away and always treat them "special"
Dee Bock
My name is Deidre but most people call me Dee. I moved to Houston in 1995 and then to Sugar Land in 1999 when we moved to Greatwood. In 2010 my life changed and I moved to Rivers Run in Richmond. I was a very happy client of Pooch Patrol. Lori took care of my Max, a Pomeranian, Stormie our chow and Buger my very stubborn cat. I later worked for Pooch Patrol as a pet sitter and loved it! I think my favorite part of petsitting is getting to know your babies and playing with them. Like People, each pet is unique in their personalities and the way the expect to be treated. I have two beautiful and lovable children who are my life. I look foward to hopefully getting to help you take care of your special family members.
Mary Vincent
Hi, my name is Mary and I am married with 3 children. I am the proud owner of two dogs, a pacman frog, a bearded dragon and a nanday conure. All of my pets are rescues. As a child I was always bringing home a stray or wild something or other. I still have a min pin whom I rescued about 12 years ago and he is still with me today going strong at 18. My Chihuahua, Maxwell, just turned one. I have loved animals all of my life and have taken care of everything from fish to anoles to pythons to a rare blue lobster! I worked at Petco as a groomer 10 years ago and have just recently earned my certificate with Penn Foster for dog grooming. My pacman frog, Hannah was a rescue from the Houston ASPCA and will on an episode of Animal Cops Houston. The episode is called "PACMANIA". I love all animals and am overjoyed to have this opportunity to meet and work with you and your pets. Thank you so much to all of you pet owners out their that make this opportunity available to people like me.
Christy Doll
Hi I'm Chris and this is my pal George. It cost me a sock toy and a bone to get him in this picture. I'm a Native Texan and have two grown sons. I also have Stella, a deaf Bull Terrier. Stellas love child Puppy George and Ren, a 19 and half year old Fox Terrier (AKA-Energizer Bunny). Nothing would make me happier than to make friends and take care of your animal family. I have trained horses for 35 years. I have raised chickens, parrots, goats, bunnies, dogs, cats and have even rehabiliated an injured 7 ft alligator. I look foward to meeting you.
