Dog Walking Mission Ridge

About: Going on vacation, need a getaway, or just take a break? Trustworthy and reliable house and pet sitter can help. Need a companion to supervise your kids, pets, and elderly family? Caring for your loved ones at home, while they do their normal routine and activities, to be cozy and comfortable. I love being around people, kids, and pets doing activities, conversing, or just quietly keeping them company, if preferred. My experience includes property management, substituting in public schools, volunteer at animal shelters and rescues, helped with community cats, and also watch my own critters along with friends and family. I do have a part-time property management career during the day but can schedule you early mornings and late afternoon evenings, as well as weekends, and holidays. Visits and tasks are personalized with your instructions, to meet your needs. Let me know if I can assist you with anything and get some spare time on your hands to do more!

About: I grew up with all types of different pets in the household from dogs to guinea pigs to birds and even shrimp! So, naturally, I came to love for all animals! Loving them means to also care for them, so I had to provide care for each animal making sure they were properly fed, cleaned, and had a safe environment to sleep. What you can expect from me: * Quick responses * Reliable scheduling * Updates/photos during visits * Respect for your home and routine I currently work part time and go to school full time, but I still have plenty of time to dedicate to the loved animals of San Antonio. I promise to provide the absolute best care to your pets and to your homes. I will make sure your pets are kept safe and properly cared for. I also walk my dogs all the time, so I know proper handling and care when walking a dog.

“Allison did amazing! She was so great walking Fenway and with excellent communication. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone who needed some trustworthy pet care:)”

About: I believe what sets me apart is my experience working in a veterinary clinic, where I’ve gained hands-on knowledge of animal health and behavior. I’m comfortable administering medications, recognizing signs of illness, and staying calm in stressful situations. I’m also very reliable and make sure to follow each pet’s routine closely while keeping owners updated, so they always feel at ease. I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to give your pups lots of attention, play with them, and make sure they’re well taken care of! I’ll be able to keep them company throughout the day and give them plenty of love and exercise. I will always make sure a pet is comfortable in my home. I may live in an apartment, but I will make sure your furry friend goes on as many walks as they want.

“My bullmastiff, Gus, loves Tim!! I had to start going back into the office 3 days a week, and I was concerned Gus being alone and in his crate for so long. Tim started walking him on those days and I can see a huge I’ increase in Gus’ happiness. Someone rang the doorbell the other day and Gus got so excited!! Normally he ignores the doorbell. But he was looking for Tim. This makes me so happy to see Gus so happy. Thanks Tim for doing such a great job!!”

“Andria has been a real help to me this past week with all the weather uncertainty. She is responsible about communicating….. and on time when she is committed to a certain date and time. I think her qualifications are more than adequate for the responsibility she carries in walking our precious pets.”

About: I have several years of experience caring for pets, including dogs, cats, and other animals. I had a Lhasa Apso for eight years (2010–2018), and I currently have a cat that I adopted in May 2024. I’ve been providing pet care services since May 2023 and have experience working with a variety of breeds, temperaments, and personalities. I’m reliable and compassionate, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals, always making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for! :) I love spending my time meeting and caring for pets! I’ve recently opened up my schedule, so I now have much more flexible availability and can accommodate a variety of times. I’m generally available until early evening and prefer to complete visits before dark when possible. Feel free to message me to check my availability and discuss booking options! I prioritize safety, supervision, and following each pet’s routine closely. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure they are always secure, whether that means using a leash, keeping doors and gates closed, or supervising them closely indoors and outdoors. I’m attentive to each pet’s behavior and comfort level, and I always follow any specific instructions provided. I’m also comfortable with tasks such as feeding, refilling water, crating if needed, and providing playtime and companionship.

About: I have been pet sitting for about five years now and have experience with many different sizes and breeds of animals! I raised a lamb, goat, and a guide dog in high school and personally, I have owned a Cavachon, and a Labrador. I used to work at a dog daycare for about a year and I volunteered with Animal Defense League! Currently I am on summer break and so I have full availability! In the fall, I will only go to school on Mondays and Wednesdays. I never take my eyes off of a pet, especially if we are outside. I always make sure that they are next to me when passing someone else or another pet on a walk and redirect them is needed. I always greet animals I do not know calmly and gently, I never want to overstimulate them.

About: I have a dog currently and have had a cat in the past, as well as pet sat for neighbors with both!! I love playing with pets and am great at remembering specific care instructions and personalizing experiences! I work part time and do online college so I have a lot of free time for pet sitting. I'm fully off 2-3 days a week. I'm available for overnight sitting at your place or drop-in visits, whichever is most convenient!! I know every pet is different and I care for them based on their needs. I am comfortable giving pets medications and extra care when needed. I enjoy walking dogs and doing play time with pets as well.

“We love Marla, she takes such good care of our pup and she is very accommodating to our changing schedule! It puts our minds at ease to know someone comes to visit Layla while we are at work and we know she looks forward to Marla’s visits :)”

I regularly volunteer at animal shelters, and have experience working with shy or anxious pets. Also, I have 8+ years of experience with small exotics (guinea pigs, reptiles, rats, ferrets, etc.) and 2+ years of experience with zoo exotics. I am a full time LVT at a zoo. I am happy to care for your pets during lunch time and after 4pm Sunday-Thursday, and anytime on Fridays and Saturdays. Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize your pet's well-being, and ensure they receive the care and attention they need. I will do everything I can to make sure they stay happy, active, and comfortable.

“Yaretzi is wonderful. She’s a great communicator, punctual and so great with our Australian Shepherd, Sadie. She can get very excited for her walk and Yaretzi handles it with such patience. Highly recommended her!”

“My dogs absolutely loved Alechia! I hired her for a couple of days walks while I was out of town and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She came and met them and they immediately were drawn to her (dogs know good people)! I will definitely hire her again!!”

About: What sets me apart from other caretakers is the care and attention I give to every pet. Each pet is different they have there own personality and needs. I make sure that your pet feels loved, comfortable and is safe. I am dependable, patient, and committed to following your pets routine while keeping you posted for a piece of mind. I currently have a small business and I am a college student at UTSA. Right now I am on summer so I am flexible to walk your pet at any time. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean litter box, plenty of attention, and playtime when they want it. I also keep owners updated and make it a priority to be reliable, respectful of their home, and on time for every visit.

“Sabrina was dependable and walked our dogs for the entire 30 minutes. She sent pictures with each walk which we love. I would definitely recommend her and use her services again. Thanks Sabrina!”

Terri B.

“Will could not have been better! We really appreciated the pictures and updates in the report cards. Will really helped us out. I would highly recommend Will for anyone in need of a good friend for your pup!”
