Pet Sitting Castle Hills Forest

“Claudia, you have been such a wonderful help to me and my fur babies. We all thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts and we really appreciate your time and kindness. I hope to continue working with you in the future given that you’re still doing this passionate work of kindness. Thank you so much.”

About: Hey there! I’m a current student at UTSA with 5 years of experience in dog walking & pet sitting for friends and family. I have two dogs named Chaos and Riot (standard/pocket bully mix from the same litter!) and a blind cat named Francis (American Wirehair), so I’m pretty well versed in caring for both types of pets! I have also had many pets before them (some of which required medical care) so I have experience administering medication. Though I’m a full time student, I have plenty of breaks available in my day to check on your pet and make sure they get all the play time and love that they need! I’m also an active runner, so if you’re dog loves running I’d love to take them with me! I can’t wait to meet your precious pets! I'm a full-time student at UTSA and work part-time, but I still have plenty of time for pet care on weekdays and weekends! Here is my availability for dog walking and check-ins. Mondays & Wednesdays: Early Morning: 6:00 AM – 7:00 AM Mid-Day/Lunch: 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM Evening: 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM Tuesdays & Thursdays: Early Morning: 6:00 AM – 7:00 AM Mid-Day/Lunch: 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM Evening: 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM Fridays: Morning & Afternoon: 6:00 AM – 2:00 PM Evening: 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM Saturdays & Sundays: Fully open & available all day! HOUSE SITTING: I am available for house sitting every night of the week! Please note that on weekdays, I will briefly step out during my daytime class & work hours, but I will always return during my scheduled time blocks listed above to feed, play with, and love on your pet! During housesitting, my goal is to maintain your pet's familiar environment and daily routine to minimize anxiety when you are away! I follow your feeding schedule, provide proper medical care (if applicable), and stick to my listed time blocks so pets are never left alone for more than a few hours at a time during the day. I keep your living space clean and secure, with the utmost respect, leaving the space exactly as I found it! I also send frequent photo and text updates so you can enjoy your peace of mind knowing that your pet is happy, relaxed, and safe! For check-ins or dog walking, I enter your home and greet your precious pets to ease any entry anxiety and check that their environment is safe and calm. I refill (and clean, if necessary) water bowls, and if requested, feed your pets the requested portions along with any oral medications. For cat drop-ins, I do a thorough daily scoop of the litter box and clean up any tracked litter. For pups, I immediately handle any accidents made during time unsupervised. Being well-versed in caring for both dogs and cats, in the many life stages, your pet will receive the best playtime (or chill time if that's their cup of tea!). As mentioned in my bio, I am an active runner, so if your pup loves to run, then we'd have a blast!

“Very sweet and attentive-- goes the extra mile!”

“This was our first time hiring a sitter for drop-in pet minding, and Karen made it an incredibly comfortable and low-stress experience. Daily check-ins complete with pictures and a little report kept us smiling and looking forward to the next day, so we could see more cute pet pics. Karen even caught a problem with our pool that we were able to inform our landlord of so he could take care of it while we're out of country - she really just went above and beyond, and we're so grateful for her work 🥰 We'll be hiring her again in the future, and I promise you won't regret doing the same!”

“Mikelah has been so great! She is punctual and always leaves a great overview of her time with my dog. She always takes lots of photos and it looks like he is having the best time with her. I’d book again without hesitation!”

“I could not recommend William more to care for your pet. He did drop in visits when I first got my dog Ralph as a puppy. He did a phenomenal job reinforcing early training—going above and beyond of simply letting him out to the bathroom. William was so great that he continued daily walks with my dog. He is 100% reliable and always worked to improve Ralph’s training. Ralph and I are extremely sad William is moving from Austin. I hope we can find a dog walker half as great!”

Alex H.

“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!”

Valerie V.

“Renee is amazing! This is the second time she has cared for my cats and she is great. Renee does such a great job communicating and sharing updates about the pets, I love all the pictures she sends! I know my cats and home are cared for and safe when Renee is on the job :)”

“Madison was great.”

“I've had Andrea come by weekly to work 1-on-1 with my 1-year-old rat terrier, Zia, and the experience has been incredible. For the past 6 months, she’s been helping Zia learn basic commands, improve her house manners, and build great habits—and I’ve seen noticeable progress every single week! Andrea is wonderful with Zia. It’s clear she truly enjoys working with dogs, but even more than that, you can tell she genuinely loves what she does. Zia looks forward to their sessions, and it’s been so rewarding to see her confidence and behavior improve over time. What really sets Andrea apart is the value she provides beyond the sessions. She sends detailed videos after each visit so I can learn exactly how to train and communicate with Zia myself, which has made such a huge difference. She’s also always available to answer any questions I have, which makes me feel fully supported throughout the process. We’re so grateful for the care, patience, and dedication Andrea brings each visit. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own while delivering real results!”

“This is the 2nd time Tim has taken care of our pups & I can not say enough about him! For years our family has not taken any trips all together because of worrying about our pets. At least one of us would have to stay back with them. Now that we’ve found someone that we can trust we can FINALLY all go together as a whole family! I am so grateful to Tim & the memories I’ve been able to make with my grandchildren! Tim is so kind & patient with our emotionally high maintenance dogs. In the past, no one could even get our bulldog to come out of his crate if we weren’t here & our rescue pup is terrified of everyone outside of our family but in a short period of time Tim had completely won them over. They absolutely love him! Tim is professional, reliable & excellent at giving updates with photos. I really appreciate him & everything that he does for our family! I will definitely be asking him for his help again in the future!”

“This is the first time I have ever had to have watch my dog in the nine years I've had her. Needless to say I was terrified. My dog is my family and leaving her someone i didn't know was not something I wanted to do but needed to due to changes at my job. Alexandria made me feel so much more comfortable with even just the meet and greet first. She truly takes of girl as if she is her own and has put my mind at ease knowing that she is in good hands when I am not there. I highly recommend her!! She is has also been very patient and understanding to my schedule, constantly changing due to my job.”

“Kristin was amazing with our two dogs. Our family sitter was unable to watch them and Kristin, last minute, was able to squeeze them into her schedule.”

Megan J.

“Caryn did a great job watching my two kitties while we were away. She was flexible with the time of the visits and took great care of my kittens. They were not even upset that we left them! I'll most definitely book Caryn again.”

About: Growing up my house looked like a zoo at some points having dogs, cats, birds, turtles, rabbits and more. I took on the role of caregiver to my furry and non furry friends from a young age, having been born with a love for animals. I mainly have experience working with the standard dog and cat, feeding, bathing, walking, and administering oral medications for both. Along with my personal experience I also have professional experience as a Kennel Technician for an animal clinic and boarding facility taking care of animals staying overnight. I have experience and am comfortable with working with all dog sizes and breeds, including elderly pups or young puppies. The same goes for cats any size, shape, breed, or age am I comfortable and confident in caring for your four legged friend. I currently am not working full time, so my schedule is very flexible in being able to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. I am working towards finishing my Bachelors degree, so some classes are online leaving my schedule flexible. I understand leaving your baby in the care of someone else can be scary and nerve racking, however as a pet parent myself strive to create an environment that is safe and secure for both your fur baby and you. All animals deserve patience and gentleness as I extend my high standard of care onto any animal I encounter. I have lived my life as a vegan/vegetarian in dedication to not harming animals in my moral representation of my respect toward other living beings. I hope I can be given the opportunity to show respect and kindness to your fur baby.

“Marla was absolutely amazing and wonderful! She took such great care of my cat - she played with him and gave him all the attention and cuddles he needed while I was away. I looked forward to all the pictures she would send during each visit. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Marla and will definitely be booking her again! ❤️🐾”

“Brittney is wonderful! She took great care of our dog while we went on a weekend trip. She gave great updates and sent cute photos. Thank you so much Brittney!!”

About: In my life, I have cared for nine dogs, one cat, two snakes, and a hedgehog. I find pets to be one of the greatest things about life and I love them dearly. Friends and family have asked me to pet sit since I was 14 and it's always been my favorite thing. I am currently a full-time student Monday through Thursday but with mostly online work so I will be available every weekday for about 4-6hrs each day, longer on the weekend. Unable to care for pets in my own home as I have my own cat that does not get along with most other pets however, I am able to care for your pets in your home any way that is needed including things like frequent potty breaks, mess clean up, daily walks, and plenty of play or nap time. I am more than willing to adjust to you and your pets needs.

“You have been amazing with my two pugs. You don't know how much amazing it feels to know someone showed some love to my dogs while we were gone.”

“Wonderful dog sitter! Caring, reliable, and treated my dog like family. I highly recommend and will definitely book again.”
