Dog Walking in Alta Vista, San Antonio, TX

About: I have a genuine connection to animals and care deeply for them. In my own home I care for a senior dog and two bunnies. I always give my animals my first and my best. My schedule is flexible as I prepare for graduate school. My goal is to make some connections with families that need additional pet care that I can work my schedule around to accommodate theirs. In my client's home I will be sure to understand and fulfill all of the specific expectations they have for their pets. I will provide love, comfort and a safe environment for any and all pets. While you are away, at work or just need a little extra support I will make sure your sweet pet feels all the love they are missing.

“My first time and I'm happy to be offered such needed services thank you! Such a blessing!”

About: I have a special needs cat, so i am very attentive to animals and their needs! I’ll walk your dog in the blistering heat and get them all tuckered out for a calm evening with you, and your cat has never met someone as good with lasers and chaser toys as me. I work a night job as a manager of a late-night bakery, and i’m currently looking for extra money so i can afford a car, so this is my daytime gig! i walk/cycle/bus around to my clients while i’m saving up. In my own home my cats are each on special diets and feeding times, and they are very very well loved and cared for. i grew up surrounded by dogs and cats, and would love to have a dog now but i feel as though i’m not home enough for one. my cats love that i work 9 hours shifts, it gives them time to pretend they pay the rent and let me live there out of the kindness of their hearts.

About: I not only have two dogs and a cat myself back home, but I also have been dog and cat sitting in my community for nearly a decade. I’m a native Texan who isn’t scared of walking in this heat either! I am an archaeologist who has long breaks from work where I can dedicate days or weeks to pet sitting. I’m available week days and weekends with very flexible timing. Just like any other family member, your pets will be treated with the upmost care and respect. I am happy to provide their specialized care and keep them cared for until y’all come back home to them!

About: I grew up with pets. I had a dog named Candy who was a Dachshund, the cutest little thing. She was amazing for the time she was here & ate very good. I am currently a god mother to my friends dog, Millie, she’s pictured in the first couple of pictures. She is a cute long haired chihuahua with LOTS of attitude but the best to go on run and walks, she is part of many run clubs! I’m also an aunty to my brothers dogs, Yoda and Obi, they are pictured after Millie. They are the best cuddle buddies & love going for walks 💗 I enjoy staying active and doing so with any of them is my favorite thing to do! I also enjoy playing fetch and just running around 💗 I know basic training/tricks like sit, speak, and paw. It takes time but consistency is key 🔑 I promise to take care of your best friend just how I take care of the doggies in my life 💗 I am active and love to walk, so your dog will not be neglected, they will be taken care of and given what they need. In home, I make sure my doggies are safe and comfortable. They are allowed on couch for cuddles and given space to roam around the house! I will be sure to crate them or tuck them in depending on the instructions.

“Angelica is amazing! This is my first ever experience on rover and she made everything easy and comfortable for me and my nervous boy. Thank you for taking such good care of Dexter, Angelica! I am so glad he has a new friend.”

“Thank you for taking Frito for a walk yesterday. He was grateful to get out of the house even if it was incredibly hot! I loved the photos of his outing. Frito would definitely like to see you again!”

“Ericka is absolutely amazing! She has been an incredible dog walker for my standard poodle, Gigi, and I couldn’t be happier with her care. From the start, Ericka has been so sweet, flexible with scheduling, and consistently reliable. She always communicates promptly and very quickly learned the French commands that I use with Gigi. Gigi absolutely LOVES her walks with Ericka. She gets so excited when Ericka arrives, literally jumping with joy, and it’s clear how much she adores her. Ericka does a fantastic job managing Gigi’s high energy levels and always ensures she gets the exercise and attention she needs. I trust Ericka completely with Gigi and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated and caring dog walker. Thank you, Ericka!”

About: I've grown up in a family of animal lovers. We've had everything from hamsters and ducks to snakes and salamanders. When my sister and I were old enough, we cared for all of them on our own. Dogs and cats have always been a constant in my life and I can't imagine not having them around. We'd take in all kinds of injured animals, help them and release or find sanctuaries more equipped. My sister is now a veterinarian and we often reminisce about times we've rescued injured roadrunners, moved turtles out of roads and nursed our guard cat's wounds after a night of fighting off neighborhood critters. That being said, I have a lot of experience with administering medication (liquid, pills, injections and cleaning/dressing wounds) for various types of animals. I'm incredibly grateful that my sister is just a phone call away for any random animal questions or concerns that come up. Feel free to ask if you have other types of animals that require check-in's or sitting - fish, rabbit, reptiles, etc. I mainly work from home, but do pickup a handful of 9am-5pm work days a month. I will change my availability once those commitments come up, but feel free to contact me with special requests regarding days/times - my day's are generally flexible! My top priority is your pet's well being and comfort. At My Home: My senior dog and I maintain a cozy environment in our home. If your pet prefers to be the only animal or needs more one-on-one attention, my mom is always happy to babysit my dog so you're little (or big) one can make an easier adjustment. I provide a safe, pet-friendly environment where they can relax, play and get plenty of attention. Your pet will maintain a routine based on their usual schedule, including feeding times, walks and playtime. There is space to play inside as well as a very large fenced in yard that's great for the zoomies. If walks or runs are preferred, I'd be more than happy to get some exercise with them! Mental stimulation is important so in addition to supervised exploration in the yard, I can provide puzzles or tasks to keep them engaged. At Your House: Caring for pets in their home is all about maintaining their comfort and routine. I'll visit your home as often as needed, adhering to their schedule for feeding, walks, playtime and any necessary medication. I'll make sure they feel secure and loved by diligently following any specific instructions to maintain your pet's routine and well-being (including administering medication, dietary restrictions and extra attention if needed). With either option, I am all about open communication - expect updates! My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy and loved while giving you peace of mind knowing they're comfortable and having fun.

“Lauren is fantastic, prompt, reliable, and trustworthy! She sent us updates and photos of our dog and his behavior. Our dog got a lot of exercise and love while we were away. I would HIGHLY recommend Laure!”

About: I have had dogs and cats as pets since kindergarten. I’ve had my 6 year-old mini schnauzer Kiki since she was 8 weeks old. My parents’ and friends’ pets have relied on me for check-ins with their dogs during working hours while I was a college student. Training puppies and giving extra care to senior dogs is my favorite. I currently work part-time 3 days per week and have plenty of time to care for your fur baby! My dog, Kiki, loves making new friends too! I will care for your pet as I do my own—with love, respect, support, and loooong walkies. I dabbled in grooming during Covid and can complete smaller tasks such as de-matting, brushing and trimming fur blocking dogs eyes, permitting they are friendly enough. I’m also comfortable with administering medications (oral and intramuscular).
