Dog Walking Kirby

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: Animals have been a big part of my life for over 20 years. I currently have two dogs that I raised from puppies, so I understand the patience, consistency, and attention that great pet care requires. I treat every pet like family and always aim to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I currently work as a freelance software developer, so I have a flexible schedule with open availability for pet care. This gives me the ability to provide reliable, consistent care and be available for walks, drop-ins, and other pet care needs throughout the week. During walks and drop-ins, I prioritize safety by using secure leashing practices, monitoring the environment, and making sure pets have fresh water and plenty of attention. I also provide regular updates with photos so owners know their pets are being well cared for. My goal is to make each visit stress-free and enjoyable while treating every pet like my own.

“Taylor was incredible! She made my pup feel very comfortable and safe after she got hurt. Felt very confident that she would be cared for properly whilst Taylor was in my home.”

“Hannah is very easy to communicate with. I find her to be very knowledgeable about caring for dogs. She goes over and above her ordinary duties. And she obviously cares very much about her charges.”

About: I have ten years of pet sitting experience, a year of Kennel Tech experience, and have had pets of my own practically since birth. What can I say? I love animals! I have experience with puppies/kittens, elderly pets, and special needs animals, including diabetic and hearing/sight impaired animals. I am focused and pay attention to detail to ensure that your pet is taken care of the way they would if you were home. I have a regular daysitting client from 10am to 2pm every weekday, but I work from home, so I can be with your pet nearly 24/7 and ensure their full needs are met. Your pet will be cared for exactly the way you would if you were home! Instructions are meticulously followed and lots of love is given to ensure your fur baby is as comfortable and safe as possible.

“Brianna has been such an easy sitter! She has a great personality and Bo loved when she visited, I would definitely book her again and hopefully sooner than later. If you want a worry free dog sitter, reach out to Brianna! She is flexible and keeps up with communication!”

About: I’m a retired dog/cat groomer with 12 years of experience. During those 12 years of grooming I specialized in creating a safe, comfortable and trusting environment for all pets, specifically anxious and senior ones. Being around animals my entire life both personally and professionally has made animal behavior second nature to me. I hope to meet your pups and/or kitties! Other services: I offer bathing, brushing and nails for dogs under 25lbs (at clients home). Brushing is only available for dogs who are not matted, moderate compaction from double coated dogs is okay. Prices for bathing, brushing and nails are based on size, coat condition and temperaments. I have an 8 year old Aussie/Heeler mix and my family has 2 dogs (german shepherd and a poodle mix), chickens and geese that we all chip in to take care of. I provide care based on the pets needs but always provide safety and comfort. In order to provide the best care in your home I will ask several questions to know what your pets preferences are

About: I’ve had pets my whole life- dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, rats, hedgehogs, etc. Anyone who knows me knows I have such a big heart for animals and am truly amazed by them. I am currently in school to get my degree in biology to use to work at the San Antonio Zoo in animal conservation. I am trusted by all friends, family and coworkers to pet sit- I even have experience in administering medication to pets and experience in caring for senior animals. I believe all animals deserve love and respect no matter their size, and I promise to take care of your pet like my own. I currently work as a manager at a coffee shop, so I don’t mind getting up early or staying up late to take care of your pet. I am not on a fixed schedule, so week by week it may change but I will always have time to care for your pet. I am a very aware person, and I know how much pets are part of the family. I will ensure that no animal gets out and that their routine is accounted for at all times. I believe in making sure animals are well taken care of- physically and emotionally.

“Superb service an will be booking again”

About: I have been an ongoing volunteer at the Animal Defense League of San Antonio since I was about 9 y/o, taking the dogs on walks and socializing the cats and kittens. I have thorough knowledge and experience with raising and fostering kittens, as well as dogs just under 1y/o. I've owned and fostered cats and dogs at varying life stages, throughout my entire life as well. Along with having shadowed a few dog trainers, I am knowledgeable and confident in my ability to care for our sweet, little, fur-babies. Currently, I am in-between jobs, so I as long as I have about a day's heads-up, I'm usually free pretty much any day to care for you furry friend. I perfer to start my work day around afternoon to late afternoon, though morning time isn't a deal-breaker. After meeting and getting acquainted with your fur-baby, I'd appreciate it if, after being told everything you want me to be aware of your pet, you were to also write down detailed notes about your pet's daily routine; feeding times, what food/treats they are and aren't allowed to comsue, common behaviors, what they're allowed and aren't allowed to do around the house, any necessary medications (if any), etc.

About: I've cared for all sorts of animals from dogs, cats, rabbits, & chickens throughout my life. I also have experience with multiple pets at once! I'm available anytime on weekends, after 12pm on Mondays & Wednesdays, before 12pm and after 3pm on Tuesdays & Thursdays, and anytime after 11am on Fridays. Your pet always comes first! Whether they have very specific needs, diets, or just want to play, your pet's wants and needs are my priority.

About: I grew up having dogs my whole life so they something very special to me. I have my own dogs that I care for and love so much. I’m available most weekends. I have a car so it’ll be easy for me to drop in anytime to walk or check in on the pups. I have a big yard that is fenced in so they will be able to run freely without the worry of them escaping. I also stay out side with them to keep a close eye

“John came to take Lady for a run on a drizzly cold day and Lady loved it! She is an excellent judge of character and she took to John right away, and remembered him even though it had been a while since her last walk (3 months)! She had lots of fun and I recommend John!”

About: *Back on Rover after taking a little break* We have two dogs of our own, so our home is full of toys, cozy beds, and a laid-back vibe. We both work from home and love having extra pups to cuddle and care for! Our dogs—Lu (an 11-year-old Aussie/Lab mix) and Austen (a 3-year-old pit mix)—are relaxed, social, and non-aggressive. That said, if your dog isn’t dog-friendly, no worries, we’re happy to keep them separate. I have a dedicated training room, and the dogs are given shifts throughout the day for outdoor time, play, and rest. Everyone gets space to decompress without stress, while my dogs enjoy their naps. I’ve been a professional dog trainer for over 5 years and have worked with dogs my whole life. I’m confident handling all breeds and sizes, and your pup’s safety and well-being are always my top priority. Feel free to reach out with any questions or special requests, I’m happy to help! I work from home full-time, so I’m home and available most of the day! Dogs in my care get a balanced routine with plenty of playtime, outdoor breaks, and rest time throughout the day. I always keep an eye on the weather and adjust outside time based on safe temperatures, so everyone stays happy, healthy, and comfortable. Your pup will never feel rushed or ignored, they’re part of the daily rhythm here! Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or mine, I treat them like family. In client homes, I’m respectful, communicative, and always leave things just how I found them (plus one happy dog!). I love going on long walks or just hanging out with a pup who needs a potty break and some cuddles. At my house, things are really set up for daycare and boarding. The guest room is a cozy little doggy space - air-conditioned, comfy, and honestly kind of like a mini hotel. Dogs get a great mix of playtime, outside time, and rest, always with safety and comfort in mind.

About: Took care of both my dog and cat together, they have since passed. My favorite part of the day was coming home to them and giving each of them play time and a walk for my dog. My husband and I just moved here. I am a new mom to a 4 month old baby and would love an excuse to love on some animals and get some extra steps in the day as well. I do not have anything animals of my own so your sweet animal will be my focus during our time together! I will walk your pup or play with your cat and clean up after them as needed.

“Megan is fantastic! She was so sweet and loving with my pup and gave him a long, vigorous walk that left him happy and exhausted. If you're looking for someone who truly cares about animals, Megan is the one!”

About: I have had pets all my life and love to be around animals, and they love to be around me! If given the opportunity to care for your pets I would treat them like my own. I have a flexible schedule and can likely accommodate your needs. I am free to pet sit overnight, come over for walks, and make multiple trips a day. In my home I do not use crates for the animals. They use the doggy-door to let themselves out during the day to use the restroom and I walk them in the morning and at night.

About: Your dogs & cats will be treated as my own, spoiled and well taken care of. I love to know my dog is being taken care of the best he can be while I’m gone, I’d love to do the same as a dog sitter/ walker. I am open to care for small, medium and large dogs. I am very excited to meet your fur babies. I have an open schedule to help accommodate any special needs a dog might have during the time I’d care for them. I am also very patient and could possibly teach your dog some tricks! Would love to help introduce enrichment as well! Please let me know your preferences and any allergies your pet may have at our meet and greet. 😊 Portion of proceeds go to local animal rescues 🐾 I am currently in a career transition and have an ample amount of free time to check in on your pets when needed. Would love to meet more local furbabies. I am used to keeping pets in designated areas, as my mom has indoor cats & I am aware some dogs are escape artists waiting on their next adventure.

About: I’ve cared for dogs since middle school. My dogs, my family's dogs, and my friend's dogs. Large or small, young or senior, I’ve worked with them all. In my professional life, I’ve spent over 10 years delivering great experiences for customers, and I bring that same level of care and attention to both your pet and your overall experience. I’m a stay-at-home father who also works app-based contract jobs, which gives me flexibility throughout the day. I’m available from morning through night based on your pet’s needs. I also have a dog at home who regularly joins my child and me on walks around the neighborhood or at a local park. I have experience caring for pets both indoors and outdoors, and I adjust my care based on each dog’s environment and personality. Whether your pet prefers relaxing at home or staying active on walks and outings, I make sure they are safe, engaged, and well cared for. I take the time to understand their needs so they feel comfortable and happy.
