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!

Sara was very caring when getting to know and walking our doggies, she is very gentle and considerate when dealing with anxious pups. One of our doggies is less trusting but he accepted her from the first moment, I have no doubt both our pups love her company!

About: I have had dogs in my life since I was two years old, and caring for animals has always been second nature to me. As a medical student and longtime animal foster, I bring a thoughtful, attentive approach to every pet I care for. I have volunteered extensively as a foster for dogs and cats of all ages, from young puppies and kittens to adult and senior pets, including those who need extra patience and structure. I have hands-on experience with basic puppy training such as potty training, crate routines, and early behavior shaping, as well as working with mildly reactive and timid dogs who thrive with calm, consistent handling. I am also comfortable providing medical support, including post-spay and neuter care, post-amputation recovery, medication administration, and close monitoring during healing. My goal is always to create a safe, steady, and loving environment where your pet feels secure and genuinely cared for. As a medical student, I have a fairly flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate consistent time and attention to the pets I care for. I can accommodate regular walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, and I am happy to work with your specific needs and routines. Pet care fits naturally into my day, and I make sure each visit is calm, attentive, and tailored to your pet’s personality and energy level. When caring for pets, I tailor my approach to the individual animal and the environment, whether in my home or the client’s home. For visits at your home, I follow your routines for feeding, walking, play, and rest, and I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level. In my home, I provide a calm and safe space with plenty of enrichment, social interaction, and structured care. I have no other animals or children in my home, which allows me to give each pet my full attention. I am experienced with pets of all ages and temperaments, including shy or timid animals, and I can provide medical support such as administering medications or monitoring recovery from procedures. My goal is always to ensure your pet feels secure, happy, and cared for while you are away.

Ignacio is incredible with pets- both my dog and my cats love him. I have been using Ignacio for over a year now with both my dog and my cats and I don’t ever use anyone else. Ignacio is really patient as Pinky can sometimes be a handful, he works with her on her walks and always goes above and beyond . I highly recommend him. He’s professional, on time and truly loves animals.

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.

I can’t say enough good things about Odalys! She responded promptly to my same-day dog-walking request and went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. Odalys was extremely thorough, carefully following all instructions and suggestions for walking and feeding our large dog. Our pup can be a bit of a handful at times, especially with occasional pulling, but Odalys handled her with ease and professionalism. It’s clear she knows how to work with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I will absolutely be booking her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled dog walker!

About: 🐾 Hi there! I’m Jess, and I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments. I understand that senior pets often need extra attention, patience, and love. Whether it’s an energetic puppy, a shy cat, or a senior pet with special needs, I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, happy, and truly cared for—just like family. Caring for pets is my top priority right now, so I’m able to be flexible and reliable for your schedule. I prefer morning walks to avoid the Texas heat and make sure your dog has a safe, happy outing every time. I have one well-mannered indoor cat named Jax who is used to other pets and keeps to himself. My home has a fenced yard for safe outdoor time. I’m happy to crate your dog if needed and follow any routines or rules you have. Whether in my home or yours, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for.

About: I always have been around cats and dogs all of my life. I first started to volunteer at San Antonio Humane Society in 2021 and decided to change career paths to vet med. I know how to work with sick patients, surgery after care, medication administration, pet diabetes, reactive pets, and even can help with livestock cleaning and feeding ^~^ I am currently between jobs and can do multiple daily check ins / walking. Im always fostering kittens at home so I am definitely constantly moving ^~^ When I care for your fur babies in your home, I will always keep in touch with you on their condition and will let you know if anything happens ASAP. If there are medications to be administered I will keep a written log of time and date it was given. On top of that I always monitor daily water and food intake to see if there is any changes that may occur.

About: I’ve always grown up around cats and dogs so I’m very familiar with both and all sorts of personalities. I watch my neighbors, friends, and families cats and dogs all the time when they’re out of town. I love being active and taking pups out for walks and learning about them and what makes your pets unique. I have 2 cats and a dog personally so I’m well versed in the everyday activities. I also love helping out by giving baths to pets because I know that’s not always a desirable task. I’m currently floating between jobs so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your animals and check in! I love hanging out with critters and making sure they feel loved! I love going on long walks with my pup so I’m sure your fur baby and I would get along great! I always try to mix play and cozy time so that my animals feel very comfortable and attended to. I have dealt with lots of different temperaments from pets and I have a very good relationship with everyone I’ve met!

About: I’ve been around dogs and Cats my whole life and have had so many different kinds of pets from Dogs, cats, ducks to even baby piglets. I Grew up in a Farm so animals have always been a part of me. I’ve worked in many shelters and grooming facilities and do animal volunteer works in various sanctuaries. Im currently on a part time job and only work mornings on the week days and on the weekends im off. Unfortunately i haven’t committed to getting another pet as of now but this gives me enough time to dedicate all my attention to your own fur baby. I have a very clean apartment, i just moved in downtown so there’s not that many furniture but plenty of play space. My apartment has a dog area to were the pets can play and go for potty training. I like to make both the owners and furry babies comfortable so im flexible to any rules or food diets that they might have.
