About Demetria B.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I care for pets in their own homes, according to the owner's instructions. This can include walking pets in their neighborhood, spending time in their yard or in the home, as appropriate.
Information Demetria B. would like to know about your pet
I find it helpful to know if a pet has any particular behaviors or medical issues of note, such as insect or food allergies; propensities for putting inappropriate things in their mouths, chasing squirrels, cats, delivery trucks, etc; specific fears, such as fireworks, bikes, larger dogs, men, baseball caps, etc. It's also helpful to know if your pets are diabetic, have joint issues, current or repaired cruciate tears, luxating patellas, missing limbs, (spine) back or neck issues, etc. and/ or may require special handling and attentiveness with exercise. I'd also like to know what excites your pet(s) and makes him/ her happiest. What thrills them? I want to make sure your pets receive the best experience and care for their specific needs.
A typical day
I like to go to local parks, dog parks, or trails within the pets' area, when appropriate. For neighborhood walks, I like to change up the routes for variety, as time, distance and safety allow. For pets that are toy savy, frisbee, fetch and tug-of-war are on the menu. For older and/ or less active dogs, I love giving extra nose-to-tail pets, scratches and massages. I know all the best spots.

Pet care experience
I have 20+ years experience as a veterinary technician, receptionist and manager, as well over 14+ years as a pet-sitter, and a lifetime of personal pets. I can provide nail trims, administer subcutaneous fluids, oral and injectable medications and insulin, on reasonably cooperative pets. I regularly attend voluntary continuing education in veterinary medicine, as well as read up on current topics in pet care. I'm very observant, attentive and meticulous. I believe in treating your pets like I would my own and leaving things better than I found them. I am comfortable handling both dogs and cats and most pocket pets, such as mice, rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, etc. I am now a RN with a recently obtained BSN from UT Health Science Center San Antonio, and I also hold a BS in Biology (Ecology, Evolution, and Conservation) from UT Austin - I'm thoughtful, efficient, resourceful, reliable, honest, and patient, as well as outdoorsy and athletic, so I like playing and walking. I'd love to provide you peace of mind, and make being away from your pet easier!

Demetria also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Demetria is great she took time out of her day to check my dogs when she did not have to do it. She is great and the best sitter we had.
Super communicative and would def recommend!
She is great!!!
I am so lucky to have found someone so amazing to walk my puppy Moose! Demetria went above and beyond for Moose! She was amazing at communicating and allowed a meet and greet before our official booking to make sure Moose and I were both comfortable and at ease. She sent lots of pictures which made me feel really happy about how Moose was being treated! She also left a really thorough summary of their walk. As someone that feels so bad leaving my dog, Demetria sure made me feel at ease! I cannot say more good things! She went above and beyond!! You can tell she truly loves dogs and will treat your own furry friend like her own!
