About: I love little dogs! I enjoy connecting with them and getting to know their quirky little personalities. I grew up with a toy poodle and helped with my neighbors' dogs for years - walking them, hanging out with them during the day, and even keeping them for a night or a week. For the past 4 years I've also had a sweet mini aussiedoodle, Murphy. If you're a first time Rover user, get $20 off your booking with me! Use this code: PARKERD42569 I work part-time and mostly from home, and have a lot of flexibility right now. I can do one-time gigs and would love to build ongoing relationships! - BOARDING includes roughly 24 hours of doggy care and I am flexible about start and end time. If you need longer than 24 hours, an extended care fee will apply. If you need less, ask me about negotiating price. - DAY CARE can be 8-5, or 4-10, or any stretch between 8am and 11pm. - DROP INs and WALKS can be anytime between 9am and 9pm. Please let me know if your dog has separation anxiety or can be left alone briefly if I needed to run out (for example, the laundry is on the ground floor of my building). I give doggos a lot of personalized attention and try to anticipate their needs. I'm good at reading the vibe and knowing if a dog needs more or less of something. I am very safety conscious and will follow whatever guidance you offer, and communicate with you as much as you like!

“Excellent care for our little, old dog! Cindy and Caesar were professional, kind, thoughtful and thorough. We are so grateful that they provided such wonderful attention to our dog!”

“Melina is great with all of our pets! She kept us updated and sent photos of all four pets for each drop in. My dog loves her and even the shyest cat comes out to see her during her visits.”


“Dennis is amazing with my girls, he's our go-to person! Will always rebook with him”

I’ll be updating my availability when I next find work, but for the time being I have more or less unlimited availability, just need to get home to care for my own cat, Solar and maybe get a surf or two in! I always clean up after any dogs I walk and can keep any space that I’m watching over clean and tidy in the case of pet or house sitting. I know that cats love consistency and can do my best to fit their current schedule of comfort. I am also able to be friendly and firm with dogs so that they stay in a safe and happy environment for their whole walk. As a kid I had to keep a lot of Jack Russell’s out of trouble, so I can keep them on a leash and out of conflicts with humans or other dogs!

About: Hi there! I have experience working at a doggie daycare, as a dog walker, at an animal shelter, and a natural raw food pet store. I value positive reinforcement training. I've worked alongside professional dog trainers modifying reactivity, leash pulling, counter surfing, barking, and teaching basic commands (sit, touch, spin etc.) using treats and positive attitude. I’ve provided various enrichment activities such as homemade puzzle boxes, lick mats, kongs, nyla bones, marrow bones and frozen treats. I’ve worked with various ages, sizes, and abilities. I have experience administering medication (oral, eye, topical). I have 3 cats and a fish of my own with my partner. I love working with other critters too (bunnies, rats, Guinea pigs) . I'm incredibly fascinated with animal psychology and behavioral health as well. I’m available Monday- Friday and some weekends. I'm open to overnights and traveling. I prefer reoccurring clients to develop a bond and trust. I also offer transportation for field trips such as hikes & the beach: My 3 cats are indoor only, I have successfully introduced them using a slow and comfortable pace. They are fed wet food with extra freeze-dried toppers, morsels, and salmon oil. I provide fresh water and daily litterbox cleanings. I also frequently switch enrichment activities like toys, lickmats, and puzzles.

“Sarah was very sweet with our kitty, providing food and play and sending plenty of photos to keep us updated. Our cat really seemed to like her, too. Highly recommended!”


About: I am very experienced when it comes to caring and looking after pets. I grew up with lots of dogs and have spent over 3 years working with boarding facilities, and dog walking companies because I love to being around the sweet, fun, sometimes fiesty, sometimes rambunctious furry friends. I have experience with training aswell as grooming. I also love spending time with my feline friends. I am currently taking classes at Laney college and am starting my own Feng Shui, home care and sleep dream line. I usually have time Monday and Tuesday all day, Wednesday-Friday early mornings and Saturday evenings to be of service. I have a fenced yard, that my front door opens from, which gives an option to leave my door open if the pet is safe with other neighbors. I live with about 11 tenants that use the gate to access building. There are no dogs in the building and good space to play. I live by San Antonio park and a park off of park street. I have an outside hose and a bath tub for grooming and I live close by lake merit and other parks for walks.
