About: Hi! I’m Rodrigo. More than just a dog sitter/walker, I work professionally with dogs every day. As a dog parent of 10 years and a professional dog trainer who has worked with countless dogs of all sizes and personalities, I am not just a dog lover but someone you can feel at ease to trust with your four-legged family member. 🙂 Puppies, seniors, working dogs, reactive dogs, and so on. I’ve handled them all. Feel free to shoot a message with any questions or concerns and I look forward to meeting your dog! (: Currently have an open a flexible and open schedule as working with dogs is my full time focus. Please feel free to message me for scheduling questions (: I currently live in an apartment so I only accept about two or three boarding dogs at a time. Usually boarding dogs are crated within the home for safety. All training or fun will be had outside so the home if for resting and relaxing during the hotter times of the day.

“Tim is timely and when he arrives he quickly leashes and starts walks. The dogs are excited to see him and they are eager to head out the door. They do the loop in the neighborhood and each dog gets one on one for the walk”

“Nashira was quick to respond at the last minute to walk my sweet doggie and even came a day early to meet her! Very much appreciated. I will definitely contact her again!”

About: I grew up with all types of different pets in the household from dogs to guinea pigs to birds and even shrimp! So, naturally, I came to love for all animals! Loving them means to also care for them, so I had to provide care for each animal making sure they were properly fed, cleaned, and had a safe environment to sleep. What you can expect from me: * Quick responses * Reliable scheduling * Updates/photos during visits * Respect for your home and routine I currently work part time and go to school full time, but I still have plenty of time to dedicate to the loved animals of San Antonio. I promise to provide the absolute best care to your pets and to your homes. I will make sure your pets are kept safe and properly cared for. I also walk my dogs all the time, so I know proper handling and care when walking a dog.

“Communicative, thoughtful, and respectful! Is great with senior dogs. She is very kind to my sleepy ole dog and helps him get some exercise safely. Would recommend!”

“We love Marla, she takes such good care of our pup and she is very accommodating to our changing schedule! It puts our minds at ease to know someone comes to visit Layla while we are at work and we know she looks forward to Marla’s visits :)”

“Pat was very kind to Romy, she always arrived on time and responded to my messages, she sent me photos on each walk, I will definitely book with her again.”

About: I've lived on a small farm since I was 10 where I've bathed, fed, and cared for multiple dogs, cats, chickens, goats and a bunny. Including puppies and kittens. Friends and family have relied on me to pet sit, provide grooming, medications, walks, and feed their pets. Often times stray animals will make their way into our yard and if they are injured, I'll care for them, feed them and foster them until I can identify their owners. I love all animals and consider each and every one of my pets as family. I am available during the morning and evenings on the weekdays, weekends, and on most holidays to care for your fur baby! At minimum, I spend an hour each visit to ensure your pet(s) are fed, clean, has had time to play and overall gets plenty of love and attention. In your home, I respect and take care of the home and pet(s) as if they were my own. I create a fun, safe and comfortable space for both the owner and pet(s) as I continuously provide updates and/or photos of the pet(s) to the owners during each visit. Depending on the rules from the pet owner, at night I will ensure the pet(s) do get crated and are inside and safe for bedtime and dinner.

“Always goes above and beyond to make sure he can fit their schedule with mine. Very much appreciate Matthew’s help. Reliable is an understatement.”

About: I’m a dedicated pet sitter with years of experience caring for a wide variety of animals. Reliable, loving and trusting to ensure you have peace of mind when you are away from home. I’m available most hours in the day to take care of your baby/babies. Besides running few errands here and there, they won’t be alone for long. I’m capable of keeping your animals on their normal routine with feedings, medications etc. with exceptional love for all animals. Besides Snakes!! Can’t do snakes!!!

“Russell is always on time and the moment my puppies met him they loved him! He’s accommodating to requests and always makes sure to let me know any changes. I’m happy to have him as the regular walker for my pups!”

About: I have several years of experience caring for pets, including dogs, cats, and other animals. I had a Lhasa Apso for eight years (2010–2018), and I currently have a cat that I adopted in May 2024. I’ve been providing pet care services since May 2023 and have experience working with a variety of breeds, temperaments, and personalities. I’m reliable and compassionate, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals, always making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for! :) I love spending my time meeting and caring for pets! I’ve recently opened up my schedule, so I now have much more flexible availability and can accommodate a variety of times. I’m generally available until early evening and prefer to complete visits before dark when possible. Feel free to message me to check my availability and discuss booking options! I prioritize safety, supervision, and following each pet’s routine closely. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure they are always secure, whether that means using a leash, keeping doors and gates closed, or supervising them closely indoors and outdoors. I’m attentive to each pet’s behavior and comfort level, and I always follow any specific instructions provided. I’m also comfortable with tasks such as feeding, refilling water, crating if needed, and providing playtime and companionship.

“Paulina was awesome! She did a meet and greet before our scheduled date and we were able to make sure our dog got along with her as he can have an attitude lol. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures of our dog on his walk. She followed all instructions when leaving him and locked up the home as asked. Will definitely be booking with her again!”

About: Going on vacation, need a getaway, or just take a break? Trustworthy and reliable house and pet sitter can help. Need a companion to supervise your kids, pets, and elderly family? Caring for your loved ones at home, while they do their normal routine and activities, to be cozy and comfortable. I love being around people, kids, and pets doing activities, conversing, or just quietly keeping them company, if preferred. My experience includes property management, substituting in public schools, volunteer at animal shelters and rescues, helped with community cats, and also watch my own critters along with friends and family. I do have a part-time property management career during the day but can schedule you early mornings and late afternoon evenings, as well as weekends, and holidays. Visits and tasks are personalized with your instructions, to meet your needs. Let me know if I can assist you with anything and get some spare time on your hands to do more!

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life—growing up with big dogs and now sharing my home with three little ones of my own. I genuinely love caring for dogs and spending time with them—it’s second nature to me. One of my favorite things is seeing how excited and happy dogs get when it’s time for a walk! I also have experience giving medication, including pills, thanks to my schnauzer who has allergies. Whether it’s a quick visit or a fun stroll around the neighborhood, I’m here to give your pup the love and attention they deserve. I’m retired Air Force and loving this chance to spend more time with the animals I adore. I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits during late mornings, lunch hours, and early afternoons on weekdays. Weekends are a bit more limited, but I’m still happy to help when I can! Whether your pup needs a midday walk, a quick potty break, or some one-on-one attention, I’m here to make their day a little brighter. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. As a dog owner with a lively pack of three, I’m very experienced in managing multiple dogs and understanding different personalities and energy levels. I take the responsibility of caring for your pet seriously—whether it’s a solo visit or a group walk. I always follow your instructions, practice safe leash handling, and make sure every pet feels calm, loved, and secure. You’ll get regular updates, photos, and the peace of mind that your furry friend is in experienced, caring hands.

“Thank you. It would not let me leave the total I wanted to for 3-9 to 3-27. I will give you cash on Thursday.”
