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
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!
Thanks so much for all the updates and for taking such good care of Lady.
David and his family are absolutely fantastic, they communicated with me super often sending pictures and updates on my little guy and that gave me freedom to relax in my trip knowing he was being cared for. They are kind, respectful and professional and my chuchu loved them. 1000% recommend!
One of the best dog sitters! Went on walks and cuddled our fur baby lots. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind.
Five-star service from David Felipe R. and co. From the start, communication was clear, timely, and reassuring. They were professional, organized, and genuinely attentive to Ginger’s needs. Our dog returned calm, happy, and clearly well cared for, which says everything. Drop-off and pickup were seamless, and we felt confident the entire time. It was obvious Ginger was treated with real care, not just watched. We would absolutely book again and confidently recommend them to anyone needing reliable, thoughtful dog boarding.

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.
