Dog Walking Alamo Farmsteads-Babcock Road

About: I grew up with pets as part of my family, which taught me from an early age how to care for them with patience, consistency, and respect. Being around dogs and cats my whole life helped me learn how to read their body language, understand their routines, and respond to their individual needs, whether that means playtime, quiet companionship, or extra reassurance. I have a special place in my heart for those sweet babies with the silver speckles. I had a senior cat I lost not long ago, and I also have experience with senior dogs that have special needs. I, of course, enjoy the youngins too! I'm happy to care for pets of all ages, as well as any pets with special needs. The only pets I would have to decline are dogs with aggression or aggressive tendencies. Please see my requested important information section with further details. I have recently started a new part time job, but the time I’m not working, I love to meet some new furry friends! I am happy to accept house sits any days, as long as it is okay that I am gone for 4-6 hours at a time for my job. I also tend to take some drop ins and walks occasionally while house sitting where I would be gone for up to 2 hours at a time. Otherwise, I intend to spend most of my time at your home taking care of your pet. I prioritize the pets I care for, so I always ensure they’re well taken care of during my time with them- especially making sure they are set if I will be leaving the home for hours at a time, and then showering them with all of the love and attention once I return. For arrival times to house sits, as well as drop-in and walk times, I ask for flexibility. I am happy to work around my part-time job schedule to care for your pets to the highest standard on any day, but my availability for certain times on different days of the week may vary. I focus on providing calm, attentive care that keeps pets comfortable in their own environment. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s established routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of affection. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level, making adjustments to ensure they feel safe and at ease while their owner is away. Cleanliness, consistency, and clear communication are important to me, and I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I would my own. I am happy to provide consistent picture updates of your pets and keep in active communication with you. I also strive to leave a home as clean (if not cleaner) than I found it for all of my services.

“Allison did amazing! She was so great walking Fenway and with excellent communication. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone who needed some trustworthy pet care:)”

About: I've taken care of pets since my early twenties and have even helped potty train both my dogs as well as family members'. Most recently I have cared for 2 senior dogs and a Great Dane with several disabilities. I work from home and have ample time to provide care and attention to my pups. If needed I can step away from work for walks, play, potty breaks, etc. I have a fenced yard and two friendly pups two keep your babies company. I can also crate your pup if needed. Our own pets are pretty spoiled and they have their own beds but tend to lay in blankets on our couch!

“Eric was quick to reply and genuinely cared about making my dog’s day. He took my Dalmatian on a nice long walk and also played with him in the backyard on both days I booked. Eric was great about keeping me in the loop and making me feel included while I was away, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. He’s an awesome person, clearly loves what he does, and I’ll absolutely be rebooking with Eric.”

“Ryan was fantastic with Lalo! I was away on a retreat and came home to a very happy, well-cared-for pup. Ryan was incredibly diligent about walks, feeding, and making sure Lalo stayed hydrated and safe. It’s a huge relief to find a sitter who is this reliable and attentive. I highly recommend Ryan to anyone looking for top-tier care for their dog. Five stars!”

About: I grew up with a rabbit named bunny honey, a bird named Charlie, and I now have my sweet pit/lab mix Soto, whom I adopted! I work full time Mon-Fri but drop in on my own dog during lunch as I work 10 mins away! I am able to keep your baby in my home, if you’re okay with that schedule. I am home during the weekends and go on walks and parks with my own pup, so yours is more than welcome to join. I am an incredible adaptable and patient person. I work with children which definitely calls for patience. I love all animals and treat them as if they are human. Share with me the specifics about your fur baby and I will be sure to treat them with all the love while you’re away!

“Faith arrived on time and was understanding of my dogs needs.”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was 12. I would walk families dogs and care for their pets! Cats are included. I try to spend time outside every day and walking your dog would be the perfect addition to my daily life. I work a flexible job so house sitting will fit in well! I will always be mindful to follow house guidelines and pet guidelines. I will use discernment in situations if needed and make sure that your pet is getting the love they need!

About: I'm excited to meet you and your dog! I've dogsitted for family friends for a couple years and am familiar with following their own care routines: walking daily, picking up poop in the yard, practicing certain dietary regimens, and senior care. Just let me know what your routine looks like! I have plenty of time on the weekend to take care of your fur baby! After August 24th, I'll be back in college and unavailable on Tues and Thurs. I will be available to walk, sit, and drop in at clients' homes! As for on-boarding at my apartment, I sadly won't be able to house your fur baby with my two kitties.

“Alison has been giving Fenris morning walks for the last couple of weeks, and we feel so lucky we found her listing! She has been communicative and reliable with great availability. It was obvious from our meet and greet that she knows how to build trust with dogs, and Fenris has a great time on his walks with her. We would highly recommend her to others!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was little, as I have never lived without them. I love all animals and always treat them as my own. I love being outside and going on walks and would love to have a dog to take with me on some adventures as I explore San Antonio. I’m very punctual and good about remembering feeding times or understanding what the dogs needs are. I have owned big and small dogs and love them all so much. I have raised puppies but also cared for my blind and deaf dog during his last few years of life so I am experienced in all stages. I do not have a job at the moment because I just moved here so I would have plenty of time! I miss being around my dogs and am hoping to be able to interact with yours! I live in an apartment on the third floor so I don’t have a yard right outside, but my complex offers a beautiful dog park. There is also a dog washing station if I need to clean them up. There are plenty of walking trails close by that I can take them on and plenty of grass areas.

“Belinda was great! Very flexible as we had life stuff come up, and I appreciated her doing a meet and greet with the dogs prior to booking. My dogs love her!”

About: Hi y’all! I’m Jackson, and I am a huge animal lover. I’ve lived with at least 2 dogs my entire life, and I now have 3 dogs waiting for me back home in Houston. My animals received many, many walks while under my care. I’ve dog sat for countless neighbors, family friends, and strangers, and I’m no stranger to scoopin’ some poop. My oldest pooch was 18 years old, and I’m more than aware of the stubbornness that age brings along. I’ve raised many puppies too, so I’m familiar with the nuance of tender yet firm care. I’d love to get to know and provide top-notch care for your animals, if you’d let me! I am a full time student at UTSA. I have class on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, so Tuesdays, Thursdays, and weekends are more than often available. I try to visit home once a month to spend time with my family, including my dogs, so I’d love to fill this canine void I experience here in San Antonio. I have been the owner and the stranger to untrusting dogs, so I’ve gathered the best way to approach these kind of animals from both sides. I have no issue with getting on their level, exercising patience, or crating. I pick up on mannerisms and comfort levels easily, and I can adapt to the needs of each animal efficiently.

“Val was very helpful for our little guy this morning. She was able to come by twice for walks with him and he couldn’t have been happier. Recommend to anyone!”
