Dog Walking Beacon Hill

About: I have had pets my whole life, and have been petsitting for friends and family for over two decades. I have extensive experience with positive reinforcement training, attending to special needs and medications, special feeding instructions, puppy/kitten and senior pet care, and caring for recent rescues and anxiety issues. Multiple pets welcome! My availability is very flexible to suit whatever your pet's scheduling needs may be. Your pet's sense of enrichment and happiness is so important to me. I will faithfully ensure their regular routines are kept, and that they are fully pampered to the highest standards. Your instructions and your pet's preferences are my prerogative. I'll have attentive eyes on your pet at all times, and will be happy to send photos and videos along to you as desired. I am very respectfully intuitive with pets, following their lead and yours in terms of the type of companionship and care that makes them the most comfortable. I can provide yard breaks, leash walks, games and playtime, baths, crate time, as well as administer most medications. I have experience with elderly and special needs pets as well. Please note that for boarding and doggy daycare services in my home, my apartment doesn't have a yard space. It's a very dog-friendly part of town to explore on as many walks as your pet likes, or simply for bathroom breaks outside if they're not feeling like a journey. Also, my friendly terrier named Frankie is present during doggy daycare and boarding in my home. He loves company! As a gentle soul at heart, he's great at reading whether your dog would like a playmate or prefer some space. He is neutered and current on vaccinations and flea prevention. I have a doggy gate to use as needed for separate feeding, or other needs along those lines.

“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!”

“Anne was so kind and sweet to our Brittany spaniel puppy who is full of energy, and can be a handful :) Anne came over on short notice and was on-time. Despite the fact that it was pouring rain, Anne made an effort to have fun on the walks she took with our dog, playing in leaves and splashing in puddles. Our dog came back happy and tired, overall an excellent experience and would certainly work with her again!”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life- dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, rats, hedgehogs, etc. Anyone who knows me knows I have such a big heart for animals and am truly amazed by them. I am currently in school to get my degree in biology to use to work at the San Antonio Zoo in animal conservation. I am trusted by all friends, family and coworkers to pet sit- I even have experience in administering medication to pets and experience in caring for senior animals. I believe all animals deserve love and respect no matter their size, and I promise to take care of your pet like my own. I currently work as a manager at a coffee shop, so I don’t mind getting up early or staying up late to take care of your pet. I am not on a fixed schedule, so week by week it may change but I will always have time to care for your pet. I am a very aware person, and I know how much pets are part of the family. I will ensure that no animal gets out and that their routine is accounted for at all times. I believe in making sure animals are well taken care of- physically and emotionally.

About: I’ve been a dog and cat lover since I was a young girl. Last year, my beloved toy poodle, Jesse, passed away after a long and fulfilling 16-year life. I hold a special place in my heart for senior pets, and I’m committed to providing all pets with the love and care they deserve. I work from home currently & usually have blocks of 2 - 3 hours of free time throughout my day. & open availability on weekends. I currently don’t have any pets at home. My home has a small fenced-in yard area at the back, and there’s also a great block of neighborhood to walk around.

“Caroline did great with Charlie! She gave great updates and I trust her to take care of my older dog”

“Katy is a wonderful dog walker. Our three chihuahuas love her!”

About: I've been taking care of dogs from small chihuahuas who way less than babies, to as big as poodles half the size of any adult. From energetic running, play 24/7 kind of dogs to one's that need gentle care due to anxiety, and need more patience, love and care. To very express dogs that want to establish dominants that are 75 pounds whose leashes I had to hold tight and help me grow some muscle. I've helped bathe, cleaned after them, fed, played with, relaxed when stressed, kept their schedules that the owners had them on. And love them like there is no tomorrow because they are too precious to not love. They are just too adorable and give pure love and deserve love too I am very flexible through all week days and weekends. I have a part time job but I make my own schedule so I can adjust it if needed. At my home I pet my little dot name Lemon, she is a mix terrier. I let her out first thing in the morning and while she out I full up her dog bowls 1 with water and the other with 3/4 cup of her food. Lot of belly rubs, zoomies, walks around the neighborhood until the evening where she gets another 3/4 cup of food. And cuddles because she loves affection and attention. For clients it depends on what kind of schedule the owner has for the dog. Whether it's a range of time or specific time for certain activities for the dog. The amount and what kind of food the dog needs. The dogs quirks, triggers, personality, if they need any medicine the vet and owner requires then to take. All dogs are quite different

“Miguel is a great dog walker! He clearly loves animals and is gentle and caring with them. He was willing to come over on a very short notice and did a great job walking them and engaging with the dogs. I highly recommend Miguel!!!”

About: As a dog owner and someone who has been around dogs for as long as I can remember, I truly believe they are our best companions who stand by us through thick and thin. Their unconditional love and unwavering support bring us immense joy and comfort. My schedule works perfectly for me, as I have a day job that allows me to be available in the afternoons and evenings to spend time with some furry friends. I treat them as if they are more than just pets, ensuring they feel truly special by showering them with extra love and attention. I focus on creating a joyful experience, making sure they enjoy both my company and the services I provide.
