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.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every breed and personality. With over five years of hands-on pet care experience—including time assisting in a veterinary clinic—I’ve gained valuable skills in reading animal behavior, administering medications, and supporting post-surgical recovery. Friends, neighbors, and family members have trusted me to walk, feed, and care for their pets with both affection and professionalism. Whether it’s energetic puppies or senior dogs needing extra care, I’m prepared and passionate about giving pets the attention they deserve. Im currently working a part time job so the days im off or the time before work or after if working mornings will fit into my schedule perfectly! I like to keep my dogs on a constant schedule, whoever we go on walks I make sure their harness fits right and the pavement is never to hot, even when relaxing I like to make sure their toys are safe and that my pups are always comfortable.

“Gihan is the best. She was super sweet, and took great care of my pups. She also sent over a bunch of pictures which is always great. :) Definitely going to reach out to her again next time I need help with pups. Thanks again for all your help, Gihan!!”

“Yaretzi is wonderful. She’s a great communicator, punctual and so great with our Australian Shepherd, Sadie. She can get very excited for her walk and Yaretzi handles it with such patience. Highly recommended her!”

“Genniver was nothing short of amazing. She was unable to get in the gate (my fault) and unable to get in touch with me. Many might have gotten frustrated and left, but Genniver got creative and was able to take care of my boy. She sent prompt updates, took care of Gus, and provided pictures of the walk. I have already booked her for another day and know that Gus is in good hands. Thank you, Genniver.”

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs and learned from an early age how to care for them. My dad runs a dog sitting business in Colombia, so I’ve been around all kinds of pups—helping with feeding, walking, and keeping them happy. I bring that same love and attention to every pet I meet. I’m a senior in high school with both late arrival and early dismissal, which means I’m free most mornings, afternoons, and evenings. This flexible schedule gives me plenty of time during the week for walks, drop-ins, and playtime. I’m also available for boarding on weekends, making sure your pets get plenty of love and attention. I have a fenced backyard where your pet can safely play and get fresh air. I can easily crate your dog if needed and will follow your instructions closely to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.

“Nashira always does such a great job with our Lelo! She’s the best! She was available for us for the week and we knew we could count on her with ease! Lelo loves her! 😊💕”

About: Hello Rover Fam, 🐾 🧡 For the past 5 years, I have had the privilege of caring after my family & friend’s pets. This is mostly in the San Antonio area while they’re out of town & would love to meet new doggos and kitties! I love dogs, cats, and overall have much love and respect for animals. Through helping my loved ones, I have gained hands-on experience with all kinds of personalities—from high-energy pups who need long walks and playtime, to cozy cats who just want a calm companion. Because I sit for family and friends, I understand how important peace of mind is. I treat every pet with endless love, patience, and enthusiasm, making sure they feel safe and happy 24/7 while you are away! Since I am a teacher on summer break, my schedule is completely wide open this summer! I am available, day and night, to give your pups and cats full-time love, walks, and boarding. Your furr babies will get my undivided attention, flexible potty breaks, and plenty of daytime companionship. Whether you need a last-minute dog/cat walk or doggie/kittie drop-in, I am ready whenever you need me! When I visit your home, I treat it with the utmost care and respect. Your pet’s safety and comfort are a priority to me. I view pets as one's family, so I definitely want to make sure I care for your pets with the love that they deserve and that they feel from you! During our walks, I take things at their pace. I stay completely focused on our surroundings to make sure our walks are peaceful, happy, and entirely stress-free for your pup or cat. I want you to feel completely at ease, so I’ll be messaging you beautiful photos and sweet updates about everything we do together!

About: I have a very positive attitude and love all animals! I have had many pets in life and have lots of experience. Don’t hesitate to book me! I work for a school district here in San Antonio and I always have wanted to help others in need that need pet care. From drop ins to walks I look forward to taking care of your fur baby I haven’t selected these options quite yet. Recently my family lost our 7 year old Dobby in a freak accident. This is definitely on the table and may change in the near future for myself to be able to do overnight pet care

“Trust her with my most precious baby! She is wonderful.”

About: ⭐️20+ years experience as a fur mom ⭐️Drops ins and walks available ⭐️Flexible schedule ⭐️Love Photography so expect photo updates I was a fur mom for over 20 years. Daisy, my Pomeranian, lived to 15½. Max, my Shepherd/Husky mix, lived to 15. Callie, my tripod Calico cat, lived to 19½. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, and I would love the opportunity to care for yours while you’re away. I understand how stressful it can feel to leave your pets with someone else, and my goal is to provide loving, reliable care that gives you peace of mind. I also enjoy photography and love capturing sweet moments, so you can expect plenty of photos and updates to help you feel connected and reassured while you’re away from your furry family members. After booking, I send each family my Daisy Moments Welcome Guide and Client Questionnaire so I can learn your pet’s routines, preferences, and favorite comforts. 🌼 I have a flexible schedule and enjoy working with pet parents to find visit times that work best for everyone. While I occasionally have appointments, I am generally available throughout the day and early evening. As a pet owner for over 20 years, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care.

I am attentive, reliable, and detail-oriented, and I will always follow your instructions carefully. You’ll receive updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is being cared for and loved while you’re away.

About: I've taken care of animals my whole life, from big farm animals to small animals like cats and dogs! I am a dog dad myself, and my lil buddy and I enjoy going out for walks, meeting new people, and just enjoying life. Whether your pet is big or small, playful or calm, I will do my best to make them happy and safe while they are in my care. Taking care of my lil buddy and other furry friends is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily routine. Whether it’s morning walks, scheduled feeding times, or play sessions, I build my day around making sure the pets in my care feel comfortable, loved, and engaged. I enjoy the consistency and joy that caring for animals brings, and I’m attentive to their unique needs. Whether I’m working from home or managing errands, I prioritize pet check-ins, exercise, and quality time throughout the day and week. I treat every pet like a member of the family—whether they’re staying in my home or I’m visiting them in theirs. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walking, playtime, and any medications or special care they need. In a client’s home, I make sure their pet feels safe and relaxed in their familiar environment while respecting the space and keeping everything clean and tidy. My goal is always to provide consistent, loving care so pets feel happy and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether they are full of energy or just like to relax and snuggle, I will provide the best care possible.

About: I have been pet sitting for about five years now and have experience with many different sizes and breeds of animals! I raised a lamb, goat, and a guide dog in high school and personally, I have owned a Cavachon, and a Labrador. I used to work at a dog daycare for about a year and I volunteered with Animal Defense League! Currently I am on summer break and so I have full availability! In the fall, I will only go to school on Mondays and Wednesdays. I never take my eyes off of a pet, especially if we are outside. I always make sure that they are next to me when passing someone else or another pet on a walk and redirect them is needed. I always greet animals I do not know calmly and gently, I never want to overstimulate them.

“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.”

About: I’ve shared life with my dog across three countries, and my love for dogs has only grown stronger. With 10 years of experience as a dog groomer, I combine professional care with genuine affection for every pup I meet. I work part-time in the afternoons/evenings, so mornings are perfect for walks and playtime. For boarding or home care, your pup will always have company with our friendly little pack. Your dog’s safety comes first. Whether at your place or mine, they’ll enjoy a loving environment, a fenced yard, a safe neighborhood, and the warmth of a true dog-loving family.

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.
