Highlights
Pet care experience
Y’all’s pets cared with family love
Hello there! I'm Daniel. My love for animals began as far back as I can remember, and I’ve dedicated my life to caring for them—from dogs and cats to smaller pets and even insects. With 15 years of experience, I'm currently studying canine and feline ethology. I can offer basic grooming too (extra service) and am certified in pet CPR. My wife is also an approved caregiver, so your pet gets twice the love for the price of one. I'm glad to be here for you, as a helping and trusted hand!

Ratings and reviews
Crash loved her time with Hilary and Daniel! I almost felt bad taking her home LOL! They were very responsive and caring, they even hand fed her because of her separation anxiety (she is a stage 5 clinger). I was a bit nervous to leave her for the first time ever but this was a great experience for both of us and I can't wait for my next vacation now! Crash will definitely be visiting again 🖤
Daniel and Hillary were amazing with our 4 year old Pomeranian as they watched him over the weekend. I appreciated the photos, videos, and updates. If you are considering having your fur baby watched by anyone, first consider these amazing people!
Daniel & Hillary were awesome they kept me updated everyday on how my dog max was doing. I had to extend a couple more days and they were very understanding and helpful. I highly recommend them for anyone in the San Antonio area who’s looking for a dog sitter.
Super sweet people, they made me feel so comfortable leaving my dog in their care. They gave multiple updates with pictures/video, great communication, and were kind and considerate! I would highly recommend.
Daniel took care of my pups like they were his own. They went on walks and to the dog park. He sent lots of pictures and videos and was super responsive. 100% recommend and will definitely book again.
This was Luno’s first time being cared for by someone else, so I was pretty nervous, but they were amazing. They kept me updated and sent pictures which really put me at ease. Luno was well cared for and I’m so grateful for the love and attention they gave him. I would absolutely recommend them to friends and family.

Schedule
I work Monday through Friday, but I’m available after 2:30pm every weekday. On Saturdays and Sundays, I’m fully available. Overnights aren’t a problem either — there is always somebody at home and can handle morning meetings, so your pets are cared for around the clock!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In our home, pets are treated like family. We’ve got two friendly cats who are used to visitors, a pet playground in our community, and a cozy balcony set up with water, toys, and a fan so they can relax. My wife, my son, and I all share the care — my wife has a natural love for animals, and even my homeschooled son has learned empathy and responsibility through caring for them. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely — feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddles — just the way y’all would do it yourselves. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and at home, whether they’re staying with us or I’m looking after them in their own space.
Pets
A typical day
We’ve got a pet playground right here in our residential area — perfect for supervised playtime with toys, fetch, or just hanging out together. We also take walks to nearby dog-friendly parks. For example, we visit places around Shavano Park and along Leon Creek Greenway trails, which offer great trails and open space. Between safe balcony time, play sessions, walks, and good rest, pets under our care get plenty of love, exercise, and calm downtime.
