Dog Sitting in Alamo Heights

“Great dog sitter and very communicative”

Eric V.

“They took excellent care of our 16 yo Chihuahua and 8 yo cat! They were very thorough, always refilled food/water, gave treats, played with them, made sure they had potty time, and even brought in packages left outside. Definitely recommend booking these two if you want peace of mind your pets will be well cared for.”

Travis O.

“He was so great. We had to find someone last minute and he fit us in! He sends lists of updates, pictures, answers questions, and cared so well for our boys! He took well to our boys and our boys loved getting the attention while we were gone. Thank you!”

Shannan C.

“Consummate professional with a preternatural ability to care for pets! We are beyond happy with the work Courtney did for us with our cat. She was communicative and prompt, and our cat responded so well to her kind presence! Thanks, Courtney.”

About: *** I am here in San Antonio until first week of August before I go back to school*** I’ve been fostering animals since middle school and have cared for a wide range of pets including cats, dogs (all sizes), reptiles, and small rodents. With years of hands-on experience, I provide patient, loving care. I can help with basic training, administer medication, and cater to both energetic puppies and slow moving seniors. Animals have always had a special place in my heart, and I treat each pet as if they were my own. I’m a beach volleyball athlete and usually train from 12:00–2:30 PM, but I have the rest of my day completely free for pet care! Mornings, afternoons (after training), and evenings are all open, so I’m super flexible to fit your animals schedule. Whether you need a midday drop-in or overnight care, I’ve got you covered with lots of love and attention to give! While I don’t have a yard, I make sure dogs get plenty of safe outdoor time on a leash and enjoyable walks! I’ve been a dog walker and have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’m also a proud cat mom and have cared for cats with a wide range of needs, including special care and medication. I’m extremely patient, gentle, and treat every pet like they’re my own. You can trust me to keep your furry friend safe, happy, and loved. I’m always happy to send photo updates and extra info so you feel confident and connected while you’re away!

“Destiny is the absolute best ! Amazing communicator, cares for our fur baby and super helpful.”

“Lexi was such a joy to have as a cat sitter! Not only was so responsive and attentive, but she built a relationship with my kitties and documented all of their cute moments to send to me. She even went through trouble-shooting issues for my few automatic appliances! Would recommend to everyone.”

About: I have worked and volunteered at animal shelters so I know how to handle dogs and tend to their needs. I have babysat dog for my family, family friends, neighbors. I’ve gone to check in on their puppies. I have a part-time college student. I only go to school two days out of the week and it is only in the morning time. We wake up let the dogs outside, let them back in to eat and then go back outside sometimes we will play outside will the ball. Our older dogs like to stay inside.

About: I used to take care of my sister’s pets, when she needed the extra help a few years ago. I would take them out on walks, give them their food, and just give them some loving until she would come back from trips or work. I have a puppy and kitten of my own and love training them, and snuggling them! Excited to meet your pets! I currently am working part-time, so that gives me a lot of flexibility and time to be able to spend quality time with your pets. I have a friendly dog who would be able to keep your fur baby company, but I do have separate areas in case anyone needs space! I never leave my pets unsupervised, to make sure they don’t hurt themselves or break any furniture. I live in an apartment complex that is pet friendly and has an exercise area that is fenced! I would love to send as many updates of your pets,that you may need to help ease any worries.

About: Had a Chinese crested till she was 16 she was my best friend we traveled the world together. Now I have a chihuahua from the pound we been hanging out for six years now, she’s 8. I’ll care for your babies the same as I have cared for mine all these years. I’m a retired vet turned hippie looking for something to do during the work day that will make money rather than cost money. Would rather meet dogs than people. Also love the outdoors! I can come to your home and let your pets out, feed em, hang out with em, or take them on a walk depending on weather. I’m very small so your dog needs to be relatively chill on a leash if you would like me to walk them. But I can walk far if that’s what is needed. If you just want me to love em while ur at work I can do that too!

“Kendalyn is fantastic! She was clear and easy to communicate with, and went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable with the care she gave my cat while I was on vacation. I would book her again any time!”

Loretta M.

“Lisana had excellent communication from start to finish, she is very professional and you can tell she really loves dogs. When I got home my dog was asleep on the bed and it was clear that he had a lot of fun during their drop-in time. Feels great knowing he is well taken care of while I’m out! I would definitely book with Lisana again.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole entire life. I enjoy dogs of all ages. I enjoy training, even though I’m not a trainer i like to teach by a dog new tricks. I do have a six-year-old, so never a problem going outside for a walks or to the dog park. I also have a huge backyard that is fenced in. I currently work part time from home. I typically start my day off by taking my son to summer camp and then going for a morning hike. After that, I am home for 2 to 3 hours working. Besides that I have no set routine besides, going to get my son at 5:30 from camp. I do have a fenced in backyard. I can assure No dog will escape. We are in Texas, so rest assure that my home is always at a cool temperature. I am a huge animal lover, So there will be no yelling or harmful words towards any animals . I’m understanding to how a pet in a new environment can have accidents or chew something they shouldn’t. I’m just here to make sure your pet feel at home in my home.

About: I’m a fun energetic person. I have a dog of my own that I take care of and play with daily. I have a very fun creative side, making videos with my dog and take photos of him. I am a freelance photographer and video editor so I have free time while working remotely and taking care of my dog etc. so the time I have can be split with this position. I take care of pets to give them attention, love play time and tummy rubs. Once I know the dogs habits or certain details to learn about the dog, everything will go great.

“Great as usual! Have used Nichole for drop in’s several times and it is such a relief to be able to trust someone to spend time in your home with your fur kids.”

About: I have taken care of dogs in all stages of life since becoming an adult, and have room in my heart for taking care of your pets as if they were my own. I've administered medications of all sorts, as well as late stage organ failure care (subcutaneous fluids). Pet care has the ability to be my entire day, and I am willing to take pets on outings as well! Let me love your pets and take them to their favorite places. I cannot care for pets in my home at this time in life because I am living with family members that do not have a home that can support pet sitting. Therefore, my care would be given in the home of the pet owners and their space respected and maintained.

About: I have always taken care of friends’ pets (mostly dogs) since college. At most, there have been 3 dogs in my care but have the capacity to have more of needed. Cats are welcomed. I’m a gentle soul when it comes to animals. They have feelings just like humans do and want cared. Walking bigger dogs is speciality but I have experience with all size dogs. I am a full time personal trainer & CrossFit coach, so I more flexibility for pet care. I can spend time with them and walk them throughout the dad I care for clients with upmost respect. Chatting with clients on behaviors of the pets is important to me. Helps understand how each pet should be cared for. I want make sure they are comfortable at all times and continue to get the same love that their owners give them. I cannot have pets in my own due my partner allergies. With that being said, clients’ home are sacred and I respect that, so I would not break trust with owners and make their home is the way they left it.

About: I used to run a small housesitting business in New Mexico... Starting with a love for my family's dogs (from the age of 3+! Dachshunds, Chihuahuas, Pomeranians, Maltese, and Chow Chows), I gradually expanded to helping care for other's "fur babies." Around the age of 11/12, my sister and I started our own housesitting/dog walking/horse feeding business, which continued until we both were in college (2016). Through word-of-mouth -advertising, we were able to help care for various family friends' animals and became repeat caretakers for our clients. I grew to understand how to care for animals with various medical needs (gastrointestinal upset, arthritis, amputations & rehabilitation, pancreatic cancer), administering multiple daily medications with formulated diets and maintaining daily routines while the owners vacationed or traveled for work. At one time, I even helped care for 4 horses (scooping poop was interesting)! Since graduating with my bachelor's, I’ve worked full-time work as a pathophysiology instructor here in San Antonio, Texas (love 🖤the food and walks around nature!). I currently live in the Monte Vista area and am looking to expand my network of both people and pets! While I work primarily from home, I spend a lot of time outdoors on the weekends and love going for walks (when it’s not too hot to do so). Let me help take care of your babies! I love playing catch, walking/running, playing with toys, and giving all the belly rubs! I have a lot of flexibility working remotely. Fun, cool, extra treat included with your care: expect plenty of selfies of your pets! I am a Millennial, after all… While I work a traditional 9-6 Monday-Friday schedule, I am an early riser and am either home or with friends (& their pets) when I'm not working! I have extensive experience working & staying in clients homes and place heavy importance on respecting your preferences. While I love on your dogs & cats as if they were my own, I want to be sure that you feel comfortable with me taking care of your babies! The first things I like to ask about are: a) What is __'s daily routine? b) What times are he/she/they fed & what quantity? Any special diet or medications? c) How much time are they used to having with their humans? d) Walks? Daily, every few days, weekends? e) What have you liked/disliked about previous house sitters/dog walkers, if any? f) Would you be comfortable with me staying in your home (if dogsitting)? Or would you prefer that I just check in with them during the day/night with someone else's help? g) Would you feel comfortable with me documenting your dogs/cats during my visits with them? To send you updates? I love a good themed photo shoot!! *Please read the “Pet Care Experience” above. h) Are there any additional things you would like for me to know?

About: I live at the Quarry Village, so your puppy will enjoy a lovely view of the golf course, right by Olmos Park, and a secure yard to roam around freely, just like they do at home.

Daily walks are a big part of my routine. I prioritize these outings to ensure your puppy gets the exercise they need while enjoying the sights and smells of the neighborhood. When your puppy stays overnight, they will receive the same level of care and attention. I can provide companionship, playtime, and a cozy spot to relax, making them feel right at home. With my flexible work from home schedule, your puppy will receive personalized attention, playtime, and love throughout the day. You can travel with peace of mind knowing they're in caring hands! Let's connect and discuss your puppy's needs! I'll keep you updated on your puppy's adventures with regular messages and photos, so you can see just how much fun they're having while you're away. I provide plenty of love and companionship. Your pet will enjoy cuddles, belly rubs, and quality time to help them feel at ease in a new environment. I incorporate light grooming, such as brushing and bathing if needed, to keep your pet comfortable and clean.

About: I’ve always loved animals, we always had them growing up from shihtzus, to boxers. I have experience in care for all different types of breeds. I have ample downtime in my afternoons leaving plenty of time for your pet care needs, including walking, playing, feeding, cleaning up after, etc. :) I will ensure good quality care taking by making sure the home is the exact way it was left. As well as making sure the pets do not get into what they shouldn’t.
