“Amber was very communicative, sending many pictures daily. She was also very flexible with her time when I unexpectedly had to extend my travels a week longer.

About: I’ve been looking after dogs and cats since I can remember. I grew up in the UK in a house full of animals. I would look after neighbours dogs in my spare time and have always loved meeting and caring for dogs and cats young and old. I’m currently working part time and wfh in King William so I have plenty of time to look after your doggies. My flexible work allows me to be flexible to your schedule! My wife and I have a yard and a super friendly dog called Loney. He’ll be just as excited to see and care for your doggies as I will! We live just off the river walk in King William so there are loads of walks to be had. It’s also an easy central location to travel anywhere needed.
About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and have experience caring for all kinds—cats, dogs, bunnies, and birds. I bring a calm and friendly energy to every pet, and I have experience with anxious animals, giving meds, customizing diets, and keeping up with fun, interactive playtime. I offer flexible scheduling to accommodate your needs. I’m available weekdays, with a preference for daytime walks between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. and open to weekend flexibility. I also offer home drop-ins from 11 a.m. to midnight and can provide boarding services if needed. Your pet’s safety and comfort are really important to me. I don’t have any children or other pets, so it’s just me and your furry friend in my downtown San Antonio, pet-friendly apartment. It’s a calm, secure space where your pet can feel right at home. I’m also happy to care for your pet in your own home. I’m trustworthy, respectful, and keep a clean environment, so your pet stays comfortable and you can have peace of mind knowing they’re cared for in a familiar space.
“Very grateful for the care Sara provided! I can be a bit of a helicopter mom with tons of instructions but Sara handled it great! I can tell my boys loved hanging out with her cause they were exhausted when I got home!”
“Sarah helped take care of my little guy over the weekend. She was a quick study for an old cat with a few extraordinary needs. She showed up at the requested times and provided adequate summaries. Her care for my Wyatt was spot on.”
“As always Odalys was amazing with my kitties. She went out of her way to learn their personalities and followed through with all directions. So thankful for her attention to detail and focus on ensuring my cats were happy!”
“I can’t thank michael enough. He provided house sitting for my two cats over a holiday and ensured every single one of my instructions were carried out precisely. My babies were both lookin good and feelin great when I returned and I’m so thankful to have been partnered with Michael. Will definitely utilize him again.”
About: My name is Alexis. I’ve had pets my entire life and for the past three years, I’ve started caring for others in addition to my own. I have experience caring for dogs with special needs, and of all different sizes and breeds. I have plenty of time to play with your puppy! I currently work part-time and have a lot of free time on my hands for the summer. I have a fenced yard and one older dog aged 13 years named William he’s a schnauzer a family dog and is very friendly .
“Ericka was a great pet sitter. I really appreciated the detailed notes of each drop in and how communicative she was. Will definitely book with her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of various dog since the age of 15. From pugs, dachshunds, blue heelers, pitties, etc. I have also cared for four cats I currently work full time but am off weekends, all holidays, with the occasional wfh day. Have the flexibility with my job to leave mid day etc. I live in an apartment in a very walkable neighborhood, with lot of pet owners. Apartment is spacious for pets to play and move around.
About: If your dog has rocket-fuel energy, Olympic-level zoomies, or simply thinks walks are a scam, I’m your girl. I’ll bring them back happy, exercised, and significantly less likely to redecorate your house with chew marks. Benefits: Run it out or lose your mind. (Zoomies don't pay rent) Healthy Weight. Anxiety leaves the chat= Peace through exhaustion. Tire the brain. Silence the chaos= Mental stimulation. I'm a lifelong runner (28 years) and dog lover with a Blue Heeler (having owned two) and Heeler/ Husky mix, I understand their high energy and exercise requirements. Every session is geared towards their needs for the day. I still do offer,"Mosey walks" perfect for older/ senior dogs (Ranger is 10), or less energetic pups who still love to explore. Additionally, a TON of love and attention. I live in the King William area and two blocks from the river. My ultimate goal is a happy, well exercised dog, who sleeps well at night or even if they have to be put back in their kennel. I'm punctual, communicative, and send updates. Jenn I work from home building my business, so I’ve got flexibility — and yes, I can usually handle last-minute runs and walks. My dogs live for outdoor time (Nellie insists on her two-mile morning run), and I fully support their commitment to fresh air and movement. Your dog gets that same freedom and attention. Your dog’s safety isn’t optional — it’s the standard. My dogs are everything to me, and yours get that same level of care. From shady river paths near King William and HemisFair Park to smart, shade-first routes by your home, every walk and run is planned with comfort, awareness, and trust in mind. -Insured Dog Runner
“We had a great experience with Anna dropping in to take care of our dogs. Excellent communication. She even stopped by beforehand to meet our pups. We would highly recommend Anna and plan to use her pet sitting services in the future.”
“Larissa seems very sweet and caring. You can tell she loves to be around pets. She stopped by for a drop in to meet our pups before a boarding request, and they all got along so well. We’re glad to have found a new pet sitter.”

I can’t say enough great things about Melissa! She is incredibly kind and caring with Milo, and it truly shows in the way he gets so excited to see her. She always goes above and beyond—not only making sure he gets a great walk, but also taking the extra time to clean his paws or dry him off if he gets wet, which I really appreciate. On top of that, she’s so thoughtful and reliable—she even brings our packages inside without being asked. It’s such a relief knowing Milo is in such good hands and that she genuinely cares about his well-being. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and truly dedicated!
Alondra is great , I can’t recommend her enough! She went above and beyond in every way while taking care of my pets. Not only did she make sure everything was handled perfectly, even dealing with an outstanding issue, she also kept me constantly updated with messages and photos, which gave me total peace of mind. I'm very thankful again for the extra issue with the door.
Nev was so great for daily visits for our senior dog Duke while we took a mini vacation. Thank you so much for accepting our booking on such short notice—we truly appreciate your flexibility and willingness to help us out last minute. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pet was in good hands, and we’re really grateful for your kindness and reliability. We would absolutely book with you again!
Angelica goes above and beyond to care for my animals (cat and dog). They absolutely adore her and I have complete faith in her for caring for my pets. I love being able to take trips and not have any worries about the care my pets are getting since I know they’re in great hands!
Allison went above and beyond to make sure my cats were taken care of. :) She even went above and beyond and scooped their litter box for (which wasn’t previously asked of her, as I was only away for one day). She kept me updated and sent pictures during each visit. Thank you, Allison!
Sunny is an amazing pet sitter who took wonderful care of my fur babies! From our very first meeting, I had a great impression of her, and it was clear how much she genuinely loves animals. She is warm, friendly, and was fantastic with my pets. Both pets are older, so I always worry about them getting stressed when I'm away, but that wasn’t the case at all with Sunny. They absolutely loved her—so much so that when I got home, my dog Luci was still looking for her! I returned to relaxed, happy pets, which says everything. While away, Sunny sent photos and updates, which I really appreciated. I’ve already booked her again for the next trip and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, caring pet care. Thank you, Sunny, for the excellent communication and loving care! 🐾
