“The Client is to walk Bella an hour , but sometimes it is 10–15 minutes longer. He is great with her. He is strong enough to handle a 115lb dog that is not easy to walk. He is training her also to be better on a leash. He is great with her and cares for her. He is great—suggest anyone to use him. He would be great for dog watching too.”
About: I have a genuine connection to animals and care deeply for them. In my own home I care for a senior dog and two bunnies. I always give my animals my first and my best. My schedule is flexible as I prepare for graduate school. My goal is to make some connections with families that need additional pet care that I can work my schedule around to accommodate theirs. In my client's home I will be sure to understand and fulfill all of the specific expectations they have for their pets. I will provide love, comfort and a safe environment for any and all pets. While you are away, at work or just need a little extra support I will make sure your sweet pet feels all the love they are missing.
“Destiny is amazing!!! She is so communicative, so sweet with my pup for his daily walks. She is also super reliable and flexible, 10/10 would use her for all my future pet needs, and recommend her with 5/5 stars!”
“Ignacio is incredible with pets- both my dog and my cats love him. I have been using Ignacio for over a year now with both my dog and my cats and I don’t ever use anyone else. Ignacio is really patient as Pinky can sometimes be a handful, he works with her on her walks and always goes above and beyond . I highly recommend him. He’s professional, on time and truly loves animals.”

Im available pretty much any time with some notice. I will care for your pet as if they were my own. I will respect your home and am big on following whatever directions you have for me for their care.
“Jacqueline did such a great job caring for my sweet but nervous chihuahua/terrier mix. She definitely has a heart for this, and that's something you can't put a price on. Can't wait to book you again, Jacqueline!”
“Thank you for taking Frito for a walk yesterday. He was grateful to get out of the house even if it was incredibly hot! I loved the photos of his outing. Frito would definitely like to see you again!”
“Angelica is amazing! This is my first ever experience on rover and she made everything easy and comfortable for me and my nervous boy. Thank you for taking such good care of Dexter, Angelica! I am so glad he has a new friend.”
“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!”

About: I been wanting to work with furr babies since I can remember it's has been my dream since I was a little girl. Dogs are my favorite. My dream is to afford a house with a big yard, to adopt more furr babies, by starting to work with them will be the start of my dream come true. With hard work I know everything is possible. I own a giant baby name Chicho, he's a one year old shepard mix, we adopted him from San Antonio Humane Society an no-kill shelter when he was 3 months old. He loves his new born little brother Sergio. He loves to watch him and give him kisses every once in a while. He is a baby himself even though he weights 65 pounds, there's so much more to love! I love animals, I'll take care of your furr baby like is my own. I know they're part of the family and I'll treat them like that. Like I mention my love and passion for animals. It's never a job if you love what you do! I am a stayed at home mom, so I’ll have the time to play and stay with your furr baby all day. I have a backyard if they need to run or take a potty break and a separate room just for them, if you don’t want them to be around other dogs. I am good at following directions, if is in your house or mine you can be sure they will be safe and taken care of.
“Faith and Harley are excellent dog walkers and have lots of patience. I’m so happy they agreed to a meet and greet and my dog loved them. They even experienced a loose dog approach and handled it well, as my dog is reactive and this is the scenario I experience most which I want a good dog walker for in my absence. Will be hiring them again!”
About: I’ve been a pet lover since I was young and always felt a sense of having to help and protect every pet I come across. My parents didn’t allow pets in our home so as I grew up I made it a point to appreciate and take care every baby with paws. My roommate had 2 kitties that I would care for as if they were my own! I currently am a full time student and also work a part time job but I have plenty of time on sundays as well as during the evening. I have a hamster and he is spoiled! I make sure he always has treats and food available. I hope I can do the same for your pets!
About: I’ve been caring for animals as long as I can remember. Growing up surrounded by dogs, horses, cats, and other animals, I developed a deep understanding of their needs and personalities. From daily feedings and grooming to training sessions and playtime, I gained hands-on experience that taught me both responsibility and compassion. Whether it’s administering medication, mucking stalls, or comforting a nervous pup, I’ve always approached pet care with patience, love, and attention to detail. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I treat every pet as if they were my own! I am currently a student and working part time as a CrossFit coach. I have lots of breaks throughout the day to come visit, walk and love on critters! I have a huge dog park within 100 feet of my apartment that has tons of fun for pups of all shapes and sizes! I can go for walks directly from your home, or explore new hiking and walking trails with your pup! I am comfortable with keeping dogs in crates, as well as out and about in the house!
About: I have taken care of my aunts dogs for years and her nieghbors dogs as well. I even taught one of the dogs to go outside meaning potty train. I am available weekends and weekday also. I take them walking and play fetch with them. They love it. I have three people beside my aunts who I dog sit for. The dogs love me and recognize me every time I come to their houses and I love taking care of them. They say that Dogs are a mans or women's best friend and it's true I think. So consider me taking care of your dogs. I take care of cats as well but mostly dogs. I can give meds to your Pets if need be. I currently work part time so I have plenty of time to play with your pets between my two part time jobs or afterward thanks I can easily crate dogs if necessary in your home but only if you have them so please think of me with your drop in
About: Working at a local animal shelter for the past three years has helped my love and expertise with dogs, puppies, cats, as well as kittens grow! I am currently a nursing school student, so Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays work best, however, I am willing to be flexible if it is needed! During drop in or dog walking visits, I will ensure to actively engage happily and safely with your pets as much as they allow me to be!
