House Sitting Oxbow

About: I’ve had dogs of my own since I was 5 years old, so caring for dogs has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! I’ve also dog-sat for friends and family members countless times, giving me experience caring for dogs outside my own home. I genuinely love being around dogs and enjoy making sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable. Whether your pup needs walks, playtime, feeding, or some extra attention while you’re away, I’ll treat them like family. You can count on me to make sure your dog gets plenty of love while you’re gone! I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of free time and flexibility to care for your dog! I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting! I can work with your schedule to make sure your pup gets plenty of attention and love. I’m happy to communicate with you about your dog’s needs and provide updates so you can feel comfortable knowing they’re in good hands! My priority is making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Having owned dogs since I was 5, I understand the importance of following routines and paying attention to each dog’s needs. I’ll follow your instructions, keep you updated, and treat your pup like family!

“Isabella was the first person I booked from rover and was such a big help staying with dogs during the hours I need her for. She treated my dogs like they were hers and always made sure to update me when they went out on their walks and potty breaks. I highly recommend her, she is very reliable.”

“Rebekah was wonderful with our two high-maintenance yorkie mixes while we traveled for two weeks. She kept them happy and fed and kept us up to date on everything. She took photos and videos and helped us feel assured that they were doing well. We came home to happy pups and a very clean home, which was extra appreciated. Thank you Rebekah for your wonderful patience and care with our pups and our home!”

“Gissella did a great job taking care of our dogs! We really appreciated all the photos and updates she provided!”

“Sonia was so kind to take a last minute booking for a family emergency. She came for a meet and greet and asked great questions to make sure she was prepared. She was communicative and sent pictures throughout the stay, and followed through the schedule we had discussed. She definitely seems like a dog whisperer, when she came to bring the key back, my dog stood at the door watching her! I would absolutely welcome her back to house/dog sit.”

Amy H.

“Bryanna was great with George! She followed all directions without issue and sent many pics. Always keeping me updated on how she was doing. Arrived early and was flexible when I needed a little extra time. I will use her again if I have to come back to San Antonio! Really great job.”

About: I've experienced the magic of pets since I was young. My parents' house includes a Shih Tzu, Labrador, and a mixed cat! They behave different but have tons of love that they give us. We love our pets, and I know you love yours, too. I've cared for pets of a variety of ages and sizes. I update clients every day / walk that their pet is in my care. If you need a scheduled sitter in advance or a last minute sitter, just ask! Let's work together. First-time clients get 10% off for the first appointment. I'm responsible and trustworthy. I hold a master's degree and work full-time, but can step away during lunch breaks to feed pets and can go after 5pm. I also love giving daily updates on your pet while you are away! For house sitting, I leave your home the way I find it. I appreciate a clean space in my own home, and I take pride in respecting your home. I enjoy jogging / hiking. I regularly walk my parents' Labrador when I am home; thus, taking your fur baby on a walk is not a challenge for me. I walk often, and will be sure to keep your pets safe! I am aware of snakes and other predators lurking in San Antonio's trails and have training in snake bite care. I haven't had to use it, yet, but it is good info to know! I can walk your dog anytime after 5pm, Mondays - Fridays. I am usually flexible with my time on weekends if given advanced notice. I do not walk pets in extreme heat (outside temperature of 90 or more, unless there is ample shade in your neighborhood), as I prioritize their safety/wellness and do not want to burn their paws.

“Thanks Ysla for the care of Oreo. Sending pics and updates were most appreciated Oreo’s care as an old dog was important to us. I know 12 days staying at our house was a long time to be away from your kitties 😊😊”

Sherrill O.

“Lovely, communicative gals. They took good care of my girl and she seemed so relaxed and happy when we got home. Appreciate them so much, would definitely rebook!”

Megan D.

“Jessica was amazing with our dog Ollie! Always communicated well and sent us plenty of photos and videos of how he was doing. Would have her watch him any time 😊”

Kylie P.

“Gabby is the best! This is the second time she's watched our dogs. She reached out to meet again beforehand because it had been awhile and one of our dogs is very skittish with new people. It was a great idea and helped our dog acclimate during her stay. Would, and have, recommended to friends.”

Elizabeth M.

“She is amazing! Kept me updated throughout my business trip.....my dog doesnt just warm up to anyone but she did a great job in making him feel safe and ultimately gain his trust....new dog sitter moving forward!!!”

“took great care of the house and dogs while we were gone! she even accommodated a last-minute extension and having to administer medication to our senior dog who got sick right before we left.”

About: I begged my parents for a dog since I could talk. When they finally allowed me to adopt one when I was 10, she instantly became the love of my life. Two years ago, I adopted my first puppy in my adult life. He has taught me so much as a pet owner. I love meeting new dogs because every one has an unique and special personality. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs alike and cannot wait to meet your fur baby! I currently work as a swim coach and have pretty flexible hours during the morning , mid day, and early afternoon. My nights are completely free. I love going on long walks and exploring new areas. I guarantee your pup will get a great workout and come back exhausted from our adventures. Along with this, I maintain an attentive attitude within the house and am always giving my pups attention even when completing other tasks. I love playing fetch and tug-of-war!!

“Rachel took excellent care of our Maltese and Havanese. She kept us up to date with regular reports and photos. We will definitely be using her again when we travel.”
