“Ashley did a great job with my sweet fur baby. I am always very cautious about leaving her with somebody new, but I will definitely be using her again!”


“We can’t thank Jaclyn enough for caring for our fur babies! She was able to come last minute and care for them while I had to go out of town. She made sure they had plenty of time out of their kennel. She went above and beyond by sweeping and mopping for the floors. Highly recommended and will definitely be using her in the future!”


“Bailey made it possible for us to tour Graceland while she stayed with our dog, Preslee in our RV. She sent me pictures every half hour that made us feel at ease while we were away.”


“Jaymes is so amazing with my pup. He sends lots of updates and I could tell my pup was having a blast with him. After having several Rover sitters that oversold the amount of care and the time that they would spent with a pet, Jaymes went above and beyond. We will definitely book with him again.”


“Taylor was absolutely great with giving me “pupdates” throughout the sitting, keeping my house clean while she stayed, and helping in any way she could! Will definitely be using again and recommending to friends!”

I provide personalized care, whether it’s maintaining feeding schedules, giving companionship, or taking long walks. I’m also experienced in handling energetic pets and senior animals, ensuring they feel comfortable and safe. Happy Pets, Happy Owners! Tail-Wagging care while you're away.

I’m available on all week days and weekends. This flexibility allows me to provide attentive care, whether it’s daily walks, check-ins, or overnight stays.

I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment when caring for pets in their own homes.

About: What sets me apart is my love for all animals 🧡 They bring me peace, and we are their advocates and we are their protectors! 🐾I have a 7 yo. German shepherd, who has completed training in Germany, Texas & here in TN. I also constantly train him, which allows me to train other dogs. 🦴I also love to have fun with them, and let them get the zoomies out, or just pass out asleep from a long walk, or a long day of cuddles. 🧸I also need pet sitters at times, so I understand the care and trust that goes into finding the perfect sitter. 📸 You’ll receive photos/pictures throughout the day/visit. 💊I can care for seniors and disabled pets. I’m skilled at administrating medication, even when the pill pouches don’t work lol. 🐶I’ve fostered pets at the San Antonio Shelter and no matter how big or small, shy or active, I love them all. 💌 I’d really appreciate to see your reviews after watching your fur babies ✨ ➰I also offer a 10% discount for offapp bookings! Just include this in the message. Pet care is open availability. Weekly, daily or even monthly for those with jobs that require extensive leave from home. I am open to all. I have a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home with a fenced backyard. I am able to care for cats in my home, or in your home. They are fed based on their schedule, always providing fresh clean water. I usually have to clean the bowl before I give fresh water, I’m a little OCD. Litters get cleaned daily, I want to keep the home smelling good. Paws get wiped, face gets cleaned (boogers, eye boogies), I might even check ears. I really cater to animals and make sure they’re OK first. Depending on how they feel, I may begin to play with toys and wait for them to join me. If they’re feeling playful, then it’s game on! Before I leave them, I spend quality down time with them and I always sneak out the house. Unless they prefer a see you layer, I love to slip out. I do prefer to leave the TV/Radio on as background noise, but it is totally up to you.

About: Lifelong experience with dogs and my deep understanding of their needs. I’ve grown up with dogs since I was born, so caring for them feels completely natural to me. I’ve also cared for dogs after surgery, providing gentle, attentive support during recovery — including medication, mobility help, and emotional comfort. Whether your pup needs active playtime or quiet cuddles, I adapt to their personality and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to dedicate quality time daily or weekly for walks, play, feeding, and any special care your pet needs. At my home, your dog will enjoy a very large fenced yard and the company of my three well-trained dogs, ensuring fun and social time. When caring at your home, I focus closely on your dog’s individual needs, routines, and comfort to provide attentive, personalized care.

About: I've been loving and taking care of animals for over 15 years. I used to walk dogs around the neighborhood when I was younger, and have pet sit multiple times over the years. I have 5 doggos myself ranging from 4 months to 11 years. I have raised each from the day they were born so I have experience in dogs of ALL ages. I was a kennel technician for a time, feeding, bathing, cleaning up after mutiple pups at a time. I work part time so I have a availability in the afternoons especially during the week and am very flexible on weekends to fit most schedules. I am very particular at following directions when in any home. My personal home can be available if need be. Crating some of my dogs if necessary.


“Anna has been great with Beau!!! She adapted to his quirkiness almost immediately. She gave me daily updates and was always responsive. I wpuld recommend her to anyone that is in a need for their pets.”


“Erin was awesome!! This is our first time leaving the dogs alone with someone so we were very nervous, but after we met I felt much better! We have a big ask of having two dogs, one being deaf, but they took a liking to her right away and looked comfortable with her. She went above and beyond with our pups and our house, taking them on walks in the park and keeping our house very neat and clean. I highly recommend her and will request her services again in the future!”


“Presley is amazing! Our kitty’s first time being left alone overnight, and he is a very social boy. Presley took such great care of him he forgave us immediately for leaving him. Not even sure he noticed we left! We will definitely be calling on Presley again whenever we leave town!”


“Melissa came to the house early Sunday morning to be with Tootsie and Gizmo. She stayed with them until Saturday evening. They were well cared for. Thank you very much, Melissa.”

Danny R.
“It is truly my pleasure to recommend Danny Rincón, a licensed veterinarian, as a pet caregiver. I have trusted him on multiple occasions to care for my dog, and he has always demonstrated outstanding responsibility, professionalism, and—most importantly—a genuine love for animals. One experience that stands out was when my dog developed symptoms of acute gastroenteritis. I was very worried because he stopped eating, had diarrhea, and appeared very weak. Danny responded quickly and skillfully, providing the necessary treatment and monitoring his condition with great care. What impressed me the most was how gentle and patient he was throughout the process, both with my dog and with me as a concerned owner. He ensured proper hydration, administered medication, and kept me updated every step of the way. Thanks to Danny’s dedicated care, my dog made a full recovery within a few days and remained healthy under his continued follow-up. Without a doubt, I highly recommend Danny to anyone looking for a trustworthy, qualified, and compassionate person to care for their pets. He is someone I completely trust and who always gives his best.”
