“Claudia is kind and was so patient with my cat. This was the first time leaving him for a long period and I felt at ease knowing he was under her care. She carefully followed my instructions and made sure to give him lots of play time. The cute pictures she sent were a huge plus :)”


“I had a spur of the moment work trip (AGAIN!), and Lindsey was both kind enough to come visit my little Miss again and extend the booking when I found I had to be away longer. Greatly appreciate her!”


“Olivia did great with my puppy Dolce. She was very communicative and quick with her responses. Sent lots of photo updates and kept me in the loop the entire time. Would definitely recommend!”


“Ericka did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Molly! This was my first time using Rover so I wasn't sure how it would go having a new person take care of her doing the drop-in visits, but she loved Ericka! I also really appreciated the notes and photo updates from each check-in. I will definitely be booking her again!”

About: Highly reliable and great with animals. Have taken care of dogs and cats for 30 years. Punctuality is very important to me and making sure your pets are well cared for when you are out of town or at work. I'm working part-time and have the flexibility and hours to dedicate to your pet care needs. Very active and can take the dogs on long walks. Pet safety comes first. Will always have them leashed on walks and will pick up after them. Follow directions very well to ensure trust with your pets and the owner(s).

About: I have always been the go-to person for many of my family and friends to go and feed the dogs or hang out with them. I grew up with dogs and always understood cues on when to give space or when they needed something! I adopted my dog almost two years ago and immediately started dog walking with her and later did basic training. At the moment, I work part-time from 1:00-6:30pm. My mornings are free during the week and I try to stay available for weekends. I am more likely to accept a new request with at least a week advanced notice, I will try to be flexible if that is not possible. In other pet owners home, I will make sure to follow any guided directions or precautions in order to ensure trust and safety in the home environment. In my home, I keep areas clean and free of anything harmful to dogs. I throw toys away that are damaged or could cause harm because of damage. I give lots of enrichment through feeding games, training inside and outside, and toys that allow her to use her brain! I make sure she eats well and drinks plenty of water while getting lots of outside time!

About: I have worked and volunteered at animal shelters so I know how to handle dogs and tend to their needs. I have babysat dog for my family, family friends, neighbors. I’ve gone to check in on their puppies. I have a part-time college student. I only go to school two days out of the week and it is only in the morning time. We wake up let the dogs outside, let them back in to eat and then go back outside sometimes we will play outside will the ball. Our older dogs like to stay inside.

About: My parents bred/showed dogs all my life so I grew up with dogs in all stages of life around and also have experience training and showing. I have a 2 yr old dog who does agility and diving. I'd love the opportunity to hang out with your pet. Im not currently working as I am disabled but am looking for something to help me be more active. I'll have plenty of time to hang with your pet. 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.

“Jeremiah took such great care of my baby girl (cat)! He left detailed notes about his visit and sent lots of videos and pictures which I really appreciated! He followed all of the directions I left and my baby seemed to really enjoy his company! Hopefully he is available to sit for her in the future! He is great at communicating and seems to be very genuine and caring.”


“April is the best pet sitter you could ask for. Professional, prompt and she pampers my pets. I think my pets look forward to me being out of town just so they can see her!”


“Sarah did any excellent job taking care of our cats. She was very prompt with her communications and took the time to be flexible with their special needs. Would highly recommend and will definitely be using her again.”


About: I grew up in a house that always had pets - cats, dogs, or both! As a teenager, I began to take a very active role in taking care of our animals and have not stopped since. I adopted my own dog in 2020 after I graduated college, and my husband and I adopted another dog last year. We adore our dogs and prioritize their care at every turn with extra attention to details like mental stimulation, plenty of exercise and homemade dog food. I have the most experience with medium to larger sized dogs, but am comfortable with dogs of all sizes. I also have experience taking care of senior dogs and dogs with unique medical concerns that require special medication or attention, such as allergies, tremors, and ear infections. I am well equipped to handle whatever specific care your fur baby might need, and look forward to the opportunity to step in and love on them while you are away! I currently work full-time, but have flexibility with when I take my breaks. My husband (who will help me with any boarding responsibilities) also works but is completely remote and thus has lots of flexibility. However, my evenings and weekends are typically wide open. At our home, we have a fenced in backyard, security cameras and floodlights, and live in a neighborhood with lots of sidewalk access. We have a routine with our own dogs that includes twice daily feedings, bathroom breaks every few hours, daily mile long walks, evening play sessions, homemade dog food, and lots of cuddles. We do not crate our dogs because they are well behaved enough to be trusted, but we have an extra crate or can accommodate your crate in our home pending your preferences. I am quite familiar with the greater San Antonio area and feel comfortable getting out to walk dogs in other parts of the city. I believe in keeping furry friends as close to their routine as possible while their owners are away to minimize stress and anxiety and make sure they feel loved. That said, I always take guidance from pet parents when traveling to take care of new pets!
