“Diana has always been awesome with our kitties. She makes sure they have plenty of play time when she comes over and gives them snacks in addition to their meals. She always goes above and beyond and is willing to flex if needed. We had peace of mind whenever we left town knowing Diana was watching them. I highly recommend Diana for your pet sitting needs.”

“Ericka took such great care of my cat, Fishsticks! She was patient with him and looks like he really warmed up by the end of their week. House was also in great shape with little touches- I was expecting a full, stinky trash can and looks like she took the used litter out to my outdoor trash bin. Although I got a talking to when I got home, Fish looks healthy and happy with no signs of stress. 10/10 would rebook again!”
About: I have fostered and trained a puppy for an entire summer and am the designated dog sitter for my neighbors back at my home town! I am free in the afternoons Monday-Friday and all day during the weekends! I walk 5 miles everyday and would love to bring some dogs along with me! I used to have a dog at home that I would walk 3 times a day and feed him twice a day. I used to dog sit for a Doberman and loved it. I am comfortable with all types of dogs!
“Love Brittney's attention to detail! The recaps and photos are so helpful for us and we know our little guys are in great hands while we are away 🥰”

“Cathy was so accommodating and communicative during every visit with our sweet boy!! We were able to enjoy our trip without worrying if our Simba was in good hands and happy!! Thank you Cathy for making everything flow so easily!!”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life- dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, rats, hedgehogs, etc. Anyone who knows me knows I have such a big heart for animals and am truly amazed by them. I am currently in school to get my degree in biology to use to work at the San Antonio Zoo in animal conservation. I am trusted by all friends, family and coworkers to pet sit- I even have experience in administering medication to pets and experience in caring for senior animals. I believe all animals deserve love and respect no matter their size, and I promise to take care of your pet like my own. I currently work as a manager at a coffee shop, so I don’t mind getting up early or staying up late to take care of your pet. I am not on a fixed schedule, so week by week it may change but I will always have time to care for your pet. I am a very aware person, and I know how much pets are part of the family. I will ensure that no animal gets out and that their routine is accounted for at all times. I believe in making sure animals are well taken care of- physically and emotionally.

“Megan was wonderful. She was prompt and thorough with her check ins and faithfully sent us pictures of our fur baby while we were away. Can’t recommend her enough!”


“Consummate professional with a preternatural ability to care for pets! We are beyond happy with the work Courtney did for us with our cat. She was communicative and prompt, and our cat responded so well to her kind presence! Thanks, Courtney.”

“Sara was great with our two kitties. She followed all of our instructions and provided a thorough write up in the report card after each visit. We appreciated all the action shots she captured! When some travel delays almost kept us from getting home on time, we appreciated Sara’s flexibility in being available to check on the kitties past our original stay. We would be glad to work with Sara again.”

“Jessica was amazing!!! My puppy is 4 months old and gets shy around new people. She warmed up to Jessica quickly and had my puppy playing fetch 🩷 Jessica’s communication was great and I appreciated any updates. Jessica even warned me about some pecans she saw in my backyard and how dangerous they can be.”

About: I have owned and cared for dogs and cats for more than 20 years. I am comfortable with pets of all ages, administering medicine, and giving your pets extra love and attention while you are away. I’m currently semi-retired so I have a flexible schedule. I am originally from Massachusetts and moved to San Antonio in 2022 to be near my children and grandkids. I am reliable, honest, and loving. I can care for your pets in your home and will follow any instructions given. I am happy to bring your pets to my home but only have a small yard so it may not be ideal for larger dogs.
“Kristin D. provided excellent care for our dogs during our absence. Being first-time leave-at-home pet owners, we were initially hesitant, but Kristin diligently sent us regular photo updates, which greatly reassured us. We are highly satisfied with her service and intend to engage her again in the future.”

“This was Melisa's first drop in visit with Katie and it went great. She gave my dog her medication, took her outside and played with her and made my day away much easier knowing I didn't have to worry!”

About: I’ve really gotten to know the ins and outs of being an animal mom. I also got to spend my day caring for other people’s fur babies in my job as a vet tech. All these wonderful things combined give me a wealth of crucial experience that keeps your mind at ease knowing your kiddos are well cared for in your absence. Now that I’m permanently WFH, all I need is a reliable wifi connection to work from anywhere— including while I hang out with your fur baby! I wake up, let the fur kids out, feed breakfast, and before I started WFH, we’d all pile in the car to go to the park before work. Then, we’d spend the day together at the clinic. After that, we’d head home for dinner and a nice long walk before bed. My life has always revolved around my four legged kids! I like to establish guidelines with each owner regarding their pets schedule. Dogs and cats love routines, and part of pet sitting is to fit into what the animal is used to so that they don’t feel stress or uneasiness while their owner is away. I always work with the owner to find out what best works to keep the pet comfortable and feeling secure in their absence.
“Madalyn was incredible. She was willing to come over before the booking to meet our cats which was so kind. Then during the booking she sent us so many cute videos and photos as well as little updates on what the cats did/ate. It meant so much to me. Her communication was top notch and we so appreciated her flexibility to watch them over the Holidays. Would absolutely book Madalyn again!”

About: Dog lover and experienced pet caregiver with 12+ years as a proud dog mom to my sweet chiweenie, Max! I’ve cared for family pets for nearly two decades and have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels — from playful pups to senior dogs needing a little extra TLC. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, medication administration, feeding, cuddles, belly rubs, or just a calm and caring companion while you’re away, I’m here to help. I love getting out for sniff-filled strolls, step goals, and leisurely neighborhood walks tailored to your dog’s pace and personality. I treat every pet like family and always aim to make them feel safe, loved, and happy while in my care. 🫶🏼 I currently work from home with a flexible schedule to accommodate drop ins or walks throughout the day with my best availability in the mornings, lunch, or late afternoon. I can also be available on weekends! I am always sure to stay calm around new pets, letting them warm up to me before we get started. Whether they are ready to roll and get to stepping, or want to lounge about with cuddles and attention I always take my queues for what they need.
