Dallas Area Dog+Cat Walker/Sitter
Pet care experience
Dog/cat sitting, dog walking. My family has had pets since before I was born, therefore I've had many opportunities to learn as much as I could about dog and cat behavior including, but not limited to: what they like, what they don't like, what kind of stimulus they respond to, and what positive or negative signs to look for in certain circumstances. I firmly believe every Cat and Dog deserves the upmost patience and understanding, because everything they do is for a reason. They're a lot smarter than people tend to think and it takes an open and dedicated mind to bring out the best in all pets and their owners. They're a family member and should be respected as one. I'll have all the time a pet needs, that some owners may lack, due to work or other obligations. I prioritize minimizing any inconveniences and ensure a professional and stress-free environment. I have 3 puppies of my own to take care of, so fixed schedules are no problem for me and work on my own time, so i can be free to take care of your pups at a moment's notice. I take notes and ask questions about your individual pets and their routines in order to help them feel familiar and comfortable while the owner is away. All areas they can escape from are marked and blocked off. I have 2 small Chihuahuas that are escape artists, so it's just an extra measure I take out of habit. A keen and vigilant eye is kept on them in case anything seems off or wrong with their behavior as well.
Reviews
Our dogs survived but we don’t feel they were adequately taken care of. They were left alone for longer than instructed, the agreed upon walk schedule wasn’t followed, and communication was lacking. We would not recommend his house sitting services given our poor experience.
Esteban came through last minute when my pup was unexpectedly left home alone. Glad she got a walk and some attention until we get home.
Esteban was very patient and kind to Sunny, she came back happy and ready for a nap! Will be booking again.
Esteban was awesome not only with our 3 furry kids but he also went over and water our plants, very happy with his services, will definetely call him again when needed.

A typical day
Long walks to nearby parks, drives to dog parks if social interaction is a requirement. Certain toys your pet likes at home will be used, if provided. A healthy balance of treats and exercise for your pets and selfie updates for a worried owner.
