Dog Walking Del Rio

About: I have over a year of hands on experience working at a doggy daycare, along with 5 years experience dog walking and pet sitting for clients. Working with animals every day taught me how to handle different temperaments and energy levels while making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and pets who need extra patience or specialized care. I’m comfortable and familiar with administering medications, following special feeding instructions, and keeping up with specific routines and care needs. Whether your pet enjoys lots of playtime and walks or prefers a calmer environment and quiet attention, I always try to make sure they feel relaxed and happy while you’re away. I make it a priority to provide dependable care, updates (photos and videos included), and plenty of attention so owners can feel confident their babies are in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I already have consistent experience working around dogs and structured care environments. I’m generally flexible throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends, and I’m comfortable adjusting my schedule based on a pet’s needs. I’m used to early mornings, midday check-ins, and evening care routines from my time working at a doggy daycare, so I’m able to stay consistent with feeding, walks, and medication schedules. I prioritize reliability, so once I commit to a booking, I make sure I’m fully available and on time for every visit. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize following all instructions exactly as given to maintain the pet’s normal routine and comfort. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure before walks and that pets are supervised at all times. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior so I can respond quickly if anything seems off or if they need extra reassurance. I also keep the environment calm, clean, and stress free, and I respect the client’s home by leaving everything as I found it. Communication is important to me, so I provide updates and make sure owners feel confident their pet is safe and well cared for.

About: Hi! I bring experience from working at a dog boarding facility, a dog walking company, and pet sitting for the clients I have now. I’ve trained puppies, cared for senior pets, and grew up surrounded by animals, including three family dogs and two cats. This hands on experience helps me provide attentive, reliable, and loving care tailored to each pet’s unique needs! I want every pet parent to have complete peace of mind, knowing their fur baby is getting all of the love, exercise, attention, and care :) Being self-employed allows me to make pet care my top priority. I customize each day to provide walks, meals, playtime, and loving care for every pet. I care for pets in their own home, maintaining their routine with feeding, walks, play, and affection to ensure comfort, security, and a stress free experience.

“Iliana has walked Honey multiple times. She’s wonderful with her. She is overly communicative, trustworthy, sweet to Honey, and always willing to help with whatever. I couldn’t recommend her more!”

About: I've been caring for animals my entire life and have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Through pet sitting, rescuing, and fostering, I've learned that every animal has unique needs and deserves patient, compassionate care. Whether I'm caring for a playful puppy, an energetic dog, a shy cat, or a senior pet, I make sure their daily routine stays as consistent as possible. I provide fresh food and water, clean living spaces, exercise, play, enrichment, and plenty of affection while always paying close attention to their comfort and well being. My goal is to help your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away, giving you peace of mind that they're in caring hands. I work part time with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide pet care seven days a week. Whether you need daytime visits, overnight stays, or even late night check ins, I'm happy to work around your pet's routine to make sure they receive the care and companionship they need. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well being are always my top priorities. I understand how stressful it can be to leave a beloved pet, so I also make it a priority to earn and maintain your trust. I'll follow your pet's routine, respect your home, and provide the level of communication that makes you feel comfortable. Whether you prefer regular photo updates, detailed messages, or even video calls, I'm happy to keep you connected and give you peace of mind while you're away.

“Needed help on short notice and Tina came through. Communicative and felt my pet was well taken care of. Will request again and recommend!”

“Annaliese was so patient with me! After a last minute cancellation she was able to provide care for my puppy. Super understanding and seemed like my pup really enjoyed her time with her. Thank you!”

“AJ has been walking both of our cane corsos for a few months - they are large and one of them takes a while to warm up to people. Through the whole process he has been patient, kind, and respectful and has gained the full trust and friendship of my big pups. He goes out of his way to make them comfortable and they just LOVE his walks, visits, and belly rubs. I couldn’t recommend AJ more.”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was a little girl, and we got our first cat just a few years ago but they’ve seem to have fallen in love with me lol. My main concern is making sure your pet is happy and comfortable, doesn’t matter the situation. I’m very gentle with them and I always make sure to communicate or ask when necessary, I don’t want to assume and be wrong or not inform you if something happens. I am in college, I have classes 3 days a week, so I’m home quite a bit. I do not currently work so I’m typically free the remaining days. I volunteer/workout in my free time so I can be flexible! Just ask if a day/time works, I’ll do my best to accommodate! I’m in an apartment so I don’t have a lot of space inside. The complex does have a little fenced in dog area, and there are some dog parks in the area that I would be willing to go to if you have a more active pet. I don’t have anything toxic in the apartment, or in a place they could reach at least (medicines/rubbing alcohol, that sort of stuff). I also like going on longer walks, 20-30 min if the weather is nice.

“I have been so happy with the care that Estefany shows my fur baby. My dog, Zelda, recently had surgery for a major health issue. Estefany is so sensitive to how Zelda feels each day and responds appropriately. And Zelda shows that she feels safe and loved during their time together”

About: I have experience with all sorts of pets like cats, dogs, bunnies, birds, etc. I currently have three pets, ones a senior chiweenie (Chily), a cat (Oliver), and a senior Siberian Husky (Lobo). I make sure that my daily routine matches with your pets needs. I never try to overbook my schedule to make sure your pet gets the best care from me. If taking care of a pet at a clients home I always make sure to follow the clients rules and keep up with their routines such as feeding times and walk times. During pet care at my own home I make sure that all of the pets feel comfortable around each other by slowly introducing everyone.

About: I volunteer frequently at shelters/farms nearby and am trusted to watch my loved ones’ animals frequently. I have learned how to care for animals with disabilities through my volunteering and am comfortable with very specific instructions if your pet requires them. I do a lot of dog sitting for neighbors/friends including dropping in to hang out with their pets and taking them for nice long walks. I am currently in a period between graduating from a professional program and starting a fellowship so I am free to drop in frequently! I am available to come in multiple times per day if needed. I love to play with animals and keep them entertained with toys! I like to stay active and bring pets along for walks if that is what you would like. I give lots of attention and pets to all animals and feel that they deserve lots of affection.

“Nigel carried my "baby" home the other day because she couldn't make it back on her own. He let me know and checked back in with between visits to see if she was ok. I knew Nigel was special since he began helping me with my dog but he went above and beyond, carrying a 65 pound pit bull home instead of dragging her and using harsh commands. I'm so glad I found him! He is truly a gift.”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 10. I went through the vet program in high school where I learned how to professionally take care of unfamiliar dogs. I have also owned my own pups too. For my services i also have the additions of baths and training which can be arranged and the meet and greet. The baths include nail clipping/grinding, teeth cleaning and ear cleaning. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to walk and play with your furry friends while they are in my care. Safety is the main priority. When it comes to walks, drop ins, and house sitting I make sure to leave your home and your pet exactly how I found them (or better!) When your pets are in my house I never leave them alone uncrated or without water.

About: I've been an avid pet lover for as long as I can remember. I attended UNC-Chapel Hill and earned my veterinarian medical technician degree. I specialize in senior dogs needing special care, food and medication. I can administer all medications oral, topical as well as injections. I have cared for the smallest to the largest of all breeds. Pet sitting is my full time job. My daily and weekly routines revolves around the dogs in my care. I never leave them alone more than 2hrs at a time and I only do that for doctors appointments. My dog Porkchop is a medical service animal and goes everywhere I go, except when I sit at someone else's house. I have a large fenced in backyard and I have a small service dog to keep your baby company. Your babies will be allowed on the furniture and the bed unless you don't want them too. I don't use kennels unless you want me to and you will have to provide the kennel. Your babies will have full access to my entire house. If I sit in your home I go by all of your rules for your baby. On drop in visits I will feed your pet and walk them as well as give plenty of love and play time. For walking visits I will give your baby a twenty minute walk and give them fresh water and a treat or two if they are allowed to have them.

About: I’m a dogs best friend, I like walking and being outside as much as they do! I grew up in a dog household and then began caring for dogs in clients homes for over 15 years now. I’ve taken care of 5 dogs, 5 cats and 15 rabbits at one time in one household before! I’ve never trained my own pets but I’ve assisted with training by enforcing the clients training commands and wishes. Im in good shape and can hike or go for extra long walks if you have an active animal. I’ll love and treat your dog as if it were my own. I think dogs are the best listeners and I love to mirror their unconditional love. I have several references to put you in contact with per request. I have a flexible schedule right now and would love to fill my open hours with pet visits and dog walking. I’m often available for last minute bookings. I have a fully fenced in backyard available for your dog to run. I do not have my own crates so a crate would need to be provided if necessary.

About: I have many years of experience taking care of cats, dogs, and reptiles. Both my own and others!

About: I have lived with and cared for dogs my whole life and have helped foster kittens for the past 4 years. I have also owned Bunnies, hamsters, guinea pigs, chameleons and chickens! 🐾 I love nothing more than meeting animals and getting to know what makes them happiest! I will always treat your animals as my own and make sure they feel special. I have a wide variety of dog care experience big and small, old and young, high-energy and lazy. My childhood dog is now 18 mostly blind and deaf and I make accommodations so she can stay safe and still stroll around outside when she wants to. I also have puppy experience as young as 3 months and will do my best to keep them out of trouble! I start Graduate school in fall so currently have a completely free summer! I have plenty of time to give your pets the best care and attention possible 💖 I want to get to know your pet as well as possible to help keep them safe, comfortable and happy! What is their favorite walking route? How do they react to other dogs? Do they have anything they’re afraid of so we can avoid it? Do they have a favorite treat/toy? Do they enjoy high-activity or low-activity? For both drop-ins and walks I will regularly send updates and photos so you can relax and know that your baby is receiving the best possible care!

“Joycemar was more than I could've ever expected. I was at peace and enjoyed my trip out of the country knowing Kai was in good hands. I received daily updates and videos. Will definitely book with Joycemar again.”
