Highlights
Pet care experience
Pet-bonds reflect our heart's light
I am a jungle human. As such, I have enjoyed caring for all sorts of animals throughout my lifetime. From dogs, cats, and chickens, to llamas, monkeys, and sloths, I have found genuine joy and fulfillment in nurturing my relationship with pets. I have been a former chicken and dog owner and have taken care of many dogs, cats, chickens, sheep, goats, hogs, cows, monkeys, koalas, and sloths, both at my home and others' homes and on farms and the forest. I have also found a great balance in my work in academia, taking breaks to take pets on a walk, feed them, and even bathe them.

Ratings and reviews
Milo and Luna had a wonderful time away from home. Thank you for being available last minute.
So grateful for David Felipe! This was a last minute booking. He was so accommodating and took such good care of Winston. He sent me daily updates and sent cute pic of Winston with the family on hiking trails, cuddling, just having a ball!
Ford had a great time with them and they sent photos everyday and took him on walks very recommended!
Thank you so much for taking such good care of our girls. They looked like they had a wonderful time with you and your family. We really appreciated the attention you provided them as well as the communication with us. We will definitely reach out next time we need someone to care for our dogs while we are away.
David and his family were wonderful to our giant and we’re so grateful for the love and communication they provided while we were out of town.
David and his family took perfect care of Mia. They welcomed her as their own and kept me updated the whole time I was away. I felt very comfortable during my trip knowing she was well taken care of. I would definitely recommend them and will be booking with them again!

Schedule
As a doctoral student, I spend most of my time reading, writing, and grading at home. Thus, taking care of animals offers an ideal balance to my daily routine. I am available to look after any pet any day of the week.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a 1,585 sqft home, with ample room for any furred friend. At home, I count on spacious furniture (two large couches) and a large living room carpet. My bedroom is also carpeted, in case your pet requires to sleep close to me. I also have a spacious backyard that connects with the private green trail and forest of our neighborhood. Additionally, our neighborhood trail connects with the San Antonio Greenway Trails System. So, your pet will be able to explore a green, friendly, and safe environment with me.
A typical day
I enjoy exploring nature through the animals' senses. As a botanist, I let pets lure me toward plant fragrances and spend time observing what they notice through their smell, sound, and touch. I take advantage of the games owners play with their pets, to ensure pets enjoy their time with me. For example, I am currently playing with Chaska, a lovely schnauzer dog I am dog sitting, throwing soap bubbles for her to catch as her owner does. Please bring your pets' favorite toys and treats and let me know their favorite activities for me to do with them.
