Loving your pets like you would!
Pet care experience
I have 20+ years experience as a veterinary technician, receptionist and manager, as well over 14+ years as a pet-sitter. 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 a RN with a recently obtained a BSN from UT Health Science Center San Antonio, and also hold a BS in Biology (Ecology, Evolution, and Conservation) from UT Austin - I'm smart, 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!
Reviews
Demetria is always so kind with Adira. Adira is a super skittish dog but over the last few walks, Demetria has gotten her to relax some and Adira always seems to have enjoyed the walks!
Demetria is such a blessing to have available on this app. She was able to be flexible with the times I requested and always kept me informed of everything. This is the 2nd time that I have used her services and I am grateful that I was able to find her on this app.
Demetria was so kind with my skittish dog and incredibly responsive in our communications; will definitely book with her again!
10/10: Tina, my American Stafford Terrier mix, instantly loved Ms. Demetria and Ms. Demetria was super informative on the walk! I will look forward to booking Tina with her again if she permits. Usually, I am a little nervous due to Tina's high energy and my dog can act a little spoiled when I am not around lol, but Ms. Demetria was patient and loving :D

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 like to know if a pet has any particular behaviors or medical issues of note, such as insect or food allergies, propensities for putting any and everything in their mouths, specific fears, such as bikes, larger dogs, men, baseball caps, etc. Pets that have joint issues, current or repaired cruciate tears, luxating patellas, missing limbs, back or neck issues, etc or are diabetic 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 and dog parks, favorites being McAllister, Phil Hardberger, Eisenhauer; however I'm always exploring new parks when I come across them. For pets that toy savy, frisbee, fetch and tug of war are on the menu. For older and/ or less active dogs, I love giving relaxing nose to tail scratching and massage.
