Coco Paws & Tails

Pet care experience

I've taken care of all animals from all species since I was 6 years old. I've cared for rabbits, turtles, bearded dragons, dogs, and cats. I have housed animals that have strayed away from home or that have gotten loose since living in San Antonio. Each animal was safely returned to their owner within the same week, if not the same day. I've taken care of puppies and kittens and have fur babies of my own. Neighbors and friends have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I grew up with Rottweilers and German Shepards in my home. I have a senior dog and a Lab mix that is prone to allergies/arthritis, which requires a daily medication regimen; I would gladly sit any senior pets and/or pets with medication regimens.

Leslie is always amazing. I am a Type A dog mom and she makes me feel at ease with her constant communication to make sure I know Domino is OK and being well taken care of. She always goes the extra mile! Thank you so much again Leslie!!!

Leslie has provided outstanding care for Simone on several occasions! Her attentiveness and genuine interest in getting to know Simone truly set her apart from the very beginning. The level of communication during visits is excellent, creating a reassuring experience. Extremely satisfied with Leslie's dedication and understanding of Simone's needs.

Leslie house sat for us over a weekend in January while we were out of town, and cared for our 6 y/o Great Dane and our 2 y/o Puggle. Long story short, she far exceeded our expectations. For context, we booked her based on an outstanding review from a family member, so we expected great service, but what we got even surpassed the glowing recommendation. It pains me to write this review because I want to keep Leslie's schedule open for myself... but man, she is good. We don't often have to leave our pups with a sitter, so the pups were a little nervous, especially our Puggle, who is an anxious little guy to begin with. I'll also mention that they're both a little quirky to put it lightly. Leslie took the best care of them, provided daily updates and pictures, and was very responsive to any questions we had. She put in the effort to ensure we were comfortable with everything before we left for the airport, and offered us flexibility when it looked like our return flight might get delayed. In short, she went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable with the arrangement, and to make sure our pups were comfortable while we were away. Beyond the great care and other things mentioned above, we arrived home to an extremely clean home with nothing out of place (it was actually cleaner than when we left). Leslie is a 10/10 Rover, and we will definitely look to her for her services again and again in the future. 12/10 would recommend.

Leslie thank you so much for taking care my fur babies. I was so stress about leaving them. But you made it so easy. When we came back they look happy and well taking care. House also looks clean. Thank you so much.

Safety, trust & environment

I would say roughly 85-90% of my bookings are house visits. I love to provide comfort and company to your fur babies! I can also just stop in to ensure your fur babies aren't crated all day, get to go potty and/or eat while you're away.

Information Leslie R. would like to know about your pet

I always conduct meet and greets prior to confirming any bookings. Are your pets current on vaccinations? Any pet tag IDs, air tags, and/or microchipped? Does your dog suffer from separation anxiety? Are they on any medications for their mental health? Does your dog have a tendency to eat poo? Any recent/past surgeries? Any medical conditions that require special diets? Food/medication allergies? Leash trained? Does your dog require walks? Is your dog neurodivergent or have any special needs?

A typical day

I love to take dogs on walks when the weather allows! It's not only an excellent form of exercise, but a great way to release any build up of anxiety. I can walk your furry friends as long as they are accustomed to walking. I have play in a doggy pool some clients and I've also played fetch.
