My Vacation Too! Pet Sitting

Pet care experience

Welcome to your pet vacation! Our home is located conveniently off Bulverde Road in north central San Antonio and easily accessed from Highway 281, I-35 or 1604 loop. We're an avid pet loving family who enjoys spending time with all types of animals and love to help fur kids enjoy their vacation as much as their owners do! Your pets will enjoy our fully tiled one-story home, but they will really love our huge fully fenced back yard – complete with shady spots and a large covered deck with ceiling fans and cool water! This will quickly become a favorite hangout for the outside fanatics. Your fur kid will receive individual attention and love 24x7, with confidence that I have the unique knowledge of their habits and favorite scratching spots! They'll enjoy their same food and treats (maybe sneak a few extra?), receive any medications at regular times and keep their same sleep schedule. Each day will include walks, depending on preference – neighborhood strolls or a nature walk convenient to our home. And we’ll play with their toys – just like at home! I also offer other sitting services such as: baths, additional walks or other play activities as well as specialty care for senior dogs. And I have experience with medication administration – even injections (having had a diabetic dog for 14 years). We’d love to book your stay with us. Just think how nice it will be that you will be able to put your worries aside and enjoy your time away from home - almost as much as your fur kids enjoy their vacation!

Our dog Jack had such a great time with Gene we were afraid he didn’t want to come home with us! He had a few awesome days being treated like a king. Back yard is beautiful and provided sun and shade spots. Jack got the chance to chase a few squirrels which, he always enjoys. Plenty of play time was had. Jack got his vitamins with his breakfast and dinner which was great. Don’t think he could have found a better home away from home.

Information Gene A. would like to know about your pet

Things I'd like to know to make sure your pets visit is comfortable and fun filled: What are your scheduled drop off & pick up times? Please be aware sitting fee is calculated on 24-hour period and may be adjusted based on agreed upon drop off & pick up times as scheduled. What's your feeding schedule? Amounts? Do you feed only at designated times - or do you leave food down constantly? Do you allow treats? If so, what type? Frequency? Does your pet have any known allergies - food or otherwise? Does your pet suffer from separation anxiety? Other frightening things - loud noises (thunder, fireworks, sirens, etc.)? Is your pet fully house trained? Have they been pee pad trained for inclement weather if absolutely necessary? Is your pet an escape artist? Does he/she dig? Or bolt for open doors? Does your pet like to ride in cars? And do you typically use restraint devices when riding?

A typical day

Your fur kid(s) will be supervised 24x7 and will receive individual attention and love, petting, play time and pampering to their hearts content. They'll sleep wherever they are most comfortable - their bed or the big bed with us. And we also allow pets on our furniture - but are careful and respectful of your wishes and habits, so let us know if you prefer we stick to their routines. Lots of fun, attention and care is what we're about here -- because ultimately, it's a vacation for them too!!
