Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Artesia Community Guild, San Antonio, TX

“I have loved working with Melissa!! She has taken the best care of our kitties and kept a great eye out on the house. Because of her excellent care, our kittens grew to trust her before anyone else! She leaves GREAT notes and always comments on anything that is even slightly out of the ordinary. She is friendly, always on time, and our home, plants and kitties always appreciate her visits. Thank you Melissa!! 10/10 definitely recommend 😁💖”

“Allison was great! I booked her very last minute, and she still made time to come over to do a greet and meet. She’s clearly a dog lover, and our pups instantly fell in love with her. And very affordable rates! 10/10 would rebook in the future!”

About: What truly sets me apart is an unwavering commitment to personalized, loving attention rooted in a lifetime of dedicated pet ownership. Growing up with dogs and currently sharing my home with three wonderful dogs and two chunky cats, I intimately understand that your pets are cherished family members who deserve absolute respect and affection, whether during a structured dog walk or an extended in-home stay. For dog walks, I focus on tailored exercise and adventure, while my in-home care ensures their routine is maintained without the stress of a kennel environment. I don't just "watch" them; I integrate seamlessly into their daily life as a trusted stand-in family member. This approach is designed to maintain their comfort, significantly reduce their stress, and guarantee their happiness, all while keeping you fully informed with frequent photo and text updates for your complete peace of mind. Although I work full-time, my schedule is extremely flexible, allowing me to easily accommodate your pet care needs. I maintain excellent availability during evenings and weekends, and I am always prepared to handle last-minute requests, recognizing that life—and unexpected plans—often happen! When caring for your beloved pet, my focus is exclusively on maintaining their comfort and stability by providing care directly within the familiar environment of your home. This in-client home approach drastically reduces stress, as your pet remains surrounded by their own scents, toys, and routines, avoiding the anxiety often associated with boarding or kennel stays. During my stay or visits, I strictly adhere to your established schedule for feeding, medication, and exercise, ensuring consistency. Beyond the basics, I provide dedicated companionship, engage in their favorite activities, and treat your home with the utmost respect, guaranteeing that your pet feels secure and loved until you return. Beyond premium pet care, I also maintain basic house duties, such as collecting mail, watering plants, and ensuring your home remains tidy and secure. You will receive frequent, detailed updates with photos and texts, providing you with complete confidence that both your pets and your home are in the safest hands.

“JP is one of the sweetest and reliable sitter I have ever had. My little Precious really warmed up to and I couldn’t be happier. I will book him every time if he is available and I highly recommend him.”

“Flor is absolutely the sweetest! Our picky fur babies opened up to her quickly! I reached out to Flor very short notice and the whole meet/greet and visit went far smoother than the day trip my husband and I had lol Thank you, Miss Flor!”

“Ignacio did an amazing job! I have 6 pugs with very different personalities and they all loved him! He did a check in with them at my home while we were away and everything went great! He was attentive and paid close attention to detail. This was my first time using rover and I’m glad we got him to look over our beans. I will definitely be booking with him again”

About: My name is Alexis. I’ve had pets my entire life and for the past three years, I’ve started caring for others in addition to my own. I have experience caring for dogs with special needs, and of all different sizes and breeds. I have plenty of time to play with your puppy! I currently work part-time and have a lot of free time on my hands for the summer. I have a fenced yard and one older dog aged 13 years named William he’s a schnauzer a family dog and is very friendly .

“Adriana was a great help and looked after my pup. On time and was willing to adjust and work with me considering my difficult schedule. I highly recommend and will be rebooking in the future!”

Rinaldo B.

“This was our second time using LeAnn and it was another 5 star experience. She is very communicative and makes our 3 cats feel loved and comfortable while we’re away. We can’t thank her enough, highly recommend!”

Caitlin Z.

“Ericka was a great pet sitter. I really appreciated the detailed notes of each drop in and how communicative she was. Will definitely book with her again.”

Cynthia R.

“Monika is a wonder, stepping in last minute to watch my dogs after my original sitting plans fell through. She gave me peace of mind while I was on a work trip, coming through to take care of my dogs and even went above and beyond when one had an accident. Will certainly look to her in watching the pups again.”

About: I grew up with dogs and don’t currently own one myself, so any chance to play or cuddle is much appreciated! I love taking dogs on walks (early morning ones if it’s hot season). I know how special our furry companions are, so you can be certain they will be treated as if my own. I can only help with pets that would be okay with a full time work schedule. I have roommates that can take care of my pet when I have overnights. Having an escape artist cat, I’m very used to being very careful when opening doors. My backyard is fully fenced in and my indoor plants are out of reach of cats and dogs.

“Truly the best sitter!! Hera absolutely loved her and I felt confident my sweet dog was in great hands. She gave detailed recaps of each visit which was so appreciated and I enjoyed reading those when I would have service! Will absolutely book again and recommend to anyone who is nervous of leaving their fur babies in new hands.”

About: A new chapter has me working from home full-time — and I’m so excited to open my home again! I’d love to care for your pup while you’re away, offering cuddles, calm vibes, and a cozy space shared with my two small resident dogs. 🐾 Meet the Crew: Iggy is my 14-year-old tripod and self-appointed commander-in-chief. He mostly keeps to his cozy corner, supervising the house and making sure playtime doesn’t get out of hand. Dolly is my 4-year-old shadow. She’s a little shy at first but warms up quickly. If your pup wants to play, she’s in — but she’s just as happy to nap nearby and match their energy. 💛 My Experience: I fostered dogs for over seven years — from tiny puppies to more sensitive or reactive rescues. That variety helped me get really good at reading dog dynamics, adjusting space, and creating a low-stress, respectful environment for everyone involved. 🏡 My Setup: Pups have free roam of the living room and kitchen (with lots of nap spots — doggy couch included!) I use baby gates and barriers to create calm zones or give dogs space when needed If I step out briefly, I can crate your pup if you prefer — or I can safely separate mine in the bedroom and give yours the run of the main space which I prefer. I rotate rest time so every pup gets solo downtime when needed — it’s always about keeping things calm and dog-centered We have a medium-large backyard (fully fenced, ), no cats or kids, and lots of cozy options for sleep and chill time. Whether your pup is a cuddlebug, a watcher, or a play-in-the-yard type, I’ll follow their lead and make sure they feel safe, seen, and cared for. The house is petite but between the yard and snuggle time it is perfect. It is the second floor unit of a duplex and I short term rent the bottom out so mostly have exclusive use to the yard. I am okay carrying any pups up the stairs up to 30 lbs to help their knees if they need a boast. I currently work fully remote and am home all day — your dog will never be alone for long stretches. My own pups are a huge part of my life (they probably eat better than I do), and I deeply believe dogs rely on us for reassurance, love, and care. I do everything I can to live up to that, every single day. During my break from Rover, I continued fostering — over 100 puppies in the last few years. At the time, I was still going into the office, which wasn’t ideal, but it was still better than them staying at risk in the shelter. That chapter taught me so much about different temperaments, special needs, and how to create an environment where dogs feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for — even when it’s not their usual home. Safety and trust are everything in my home. I don’t take guest pups on walks — my neighborhood occasionally has loose dogs, and I’d rather eliminate that risk altogether. Instead, all outdoor time happens in my fully fenced backyard, and I’m always outside supervising. Two sides of the house are historic cemetery. The other side has three small old dogs. The one is 14 and they are cute just vocal but no threat. There is a full 6’ wooden fence between. Indoors, I keep the environment clean, calm, and free of hazards to help everyone feel safe and settled. I also regularly review the Red Cross Pet First Aid app to stay up to date on emergency protocols like choking or injury. Your pup’s comfort and safety are never left to chance — they’re at the center of everything I do.

“Micheal did an excellent job watching our 2 fur babies. He went above and beyond to ensure our dogs were comfortable and happy. He also sent lots of pictures and updates which I loved!”

About: I just love animals, I am a single women so I know how hard it is to keep a route with pets but still have a life. Would like to visit your pets in the evening so you can have a night out. I would make time to sit or play with your pet after I have went home to my own fur-babys If you need me to sit out side with them, feed them, play with them or just sit. I know how import human interaction is for pets

About: Looking for an animal lover to walk, spoil, or play fun games with your pet? Want some cute check-in pictures or a pet report card while you’re away? Stop your search - I got you! For YEARS I have pet-sat for friends and family, simply because I’m always happy to make a new furry friend. As I start a new chapter in my life, I decided to take a break from my 9-5. The good news for you? That means I can offer a very flexible schedule throughout the work day to give you peace of mind when away from your pup. I currently offer walking or drop-in services, but may extend my services a bit more in the future. I have cared for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes - from weeks old to senior animals and from teeny teacup chihuahuas to 100 pounds tanks. I am happy to accommodate special requests (trust me I’ve heard some interesting ones) - from tucking your pup in with a blanket before I leave to pretending to “cook” their kibble before being served. My dog has her own weird quirks and nothing makes me feel better than knowing when I’m out of town, her sitter is doing their best to keep her routine as normal as possible. I would love to offer that same relief to you :) I have quite a bit of experience administering medication orally, just let me know the tips and tricks for your specific pet. I am happy to work on some basic training with your pup while you are away. We can even play hide-and-seek with treats to keep those noses sharp! I am currently working part time with an extremely flexible schedule. I typically like to keep my Saturdays free but am open to any other day of the week! Please let me know what your pet is used to and I will do my best to accommodate. I offer neighborhood walks if you are in a walkable area or can drop in to your home.

“Roxann was absolutely amazing with Mac, she went above and beyond to spend time with him and I couldn’t have imagined a better person to watch him than her”
