House Sitting In Ridgehaven Volunteer

“Georgia was fantastic! She was available on short notice and took amazing care of our dog, Milo. Our dog is an anxious rescue, but she is a dog whisperer and immediately put our boy at ease and he was even wanting to sleep with her night one and showing his belly which he doesn’t do unless he’s 100% comfortable. I apologized for running low on his supplies and for him being a little stinky since his bath was delayed and she didn’t even hesitate to offer to go grab what he needed and even offered to bathe him. On top of taking great care of him, she took care of us anxious dog parents and communicated every step of the way and gave lots of updates and pictures. I couldn’t recommend her enough. Will definitely be using her in the future.”

“Beau and Gucci like Dora and seem comfortable when she arrives. She is relaxed and calm with both dogs, and they instinctively respond to that. She arrived on time Saturday morning, but left earlier than scheduled on Sunday (when she discovered her car wouldn't start after attending her morning church service). We recommend Dora for pet and house sitting.”

“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.”

“Second time Lindsay has watched our 2 kittens and dog. She does an excellent job communicating and making sure everyone is well cared for and loved while we’re away!”

“We had an amazing experience with Rylee and would absolutely book her again. She took such great care of our dogs while we were on vacation and kept us updated with thoughtful messages and photos throughout her stay. Seeing how happy and comfortable our dogs were with her gave us complete peace of mind. She was attentive to their needs, detail-oriented, and clearly genuinely cares about the animals she watches. On top of that, she went above and beyond with our home — taking out the trash (inside and patio), neatly gathering her used linens and towels, and making sure everything was in order before she left. Rylee is reliable, considerate, and truly a fantastic dog sitter. We’re so thankful to have found her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pets.”

“I am so happy and pleased with Margaret! She sent me lots of photos and check ins which I absolutely loved. I felt that was my dog was in great hands the entire time. I am so glad I found Meg! She's a dog angel!”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all needs, including raising and rescuing a three-legged dog, which taught me patience and how to handle disabilities and medical care. I’m comfortable with routines and medications and always prioritize a dog’s comfort and safety. I’ve pet sat many times, often while babysitting, so I’m reliable and responsible. I’m also experienced with puppies, currently raising a French Bulldog and an Australian Shepherd, and I bring patience, attention, and genuine love to every dog I care for. Pet care fits well into my routine. Monday–Thursday I babysit from 8–3, so I’m available early mornings, afternoons, evenings, and late nights. I can do drop-ins, walks, or feedings around that schedule and stay consistent. On weekends, I’m fully available at any time of day, which allows me to provide more flexible care, including longer visits or overnight stays depending on your pet’s needs. I care for pets in their own home to keep them comfortable and stress-free in a familiar environment. I closely follow their normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, and any specific instructions you provide. My goal is to maintain a clean, organized space while also making sure your pet has plenty of fun, exercise, and attention. I’m experienced with puppies, high-energy dogs, seniors, and dogs with medical needs, and I can administer medications if needed. I always respect your home and leave it just as clean as I found it.

“Wow what an awesome sitter! Michelle cared for all of my animals like they were her own and kept me updated while I was out of town which is very important to me, and I am so grateful for her. She went above and beyond for them and kept them safe and happy. She’s very attentive and helpful. I will definitely book with her again:) THANK YOU MICHELLE!”

“Leah was the BEST Rover I have had. She spent time with Shelby, not just coming in for a 5 minute walk, but actual time with her. I will contact her whenever I need someone for Shelby again.”

“Dani is amazing! We are so thankful for her. She did a great job pet sitting Oreo on very short noticed. Oreo is recovering from being spayed and couldn’t go to the pet resort we normally have her at during the week. She did a great job making sure Oreo was comfortable and didn’t over-excite herself.”

“Damien did an amazing job at caring for my dogs. They warmed up to him very quickly loved being around him. He was also very respectful of the house and very clean. I will be booking him again. I highly recommend Damien to anyone needing a good sitter.”

“Kellie did great with my older dog Lolly (who is a fur factory) and our little Watson (who needs / wants to snuggle all the time). Thanks Kellie for taking such good care of the dogs.”

“Jean-Paul did an excellent job again with our two English Bulldogs. They really love when he stays with them and they can be picky about humans! He communicated with us very well throughout the week and sent lots of pictures, which was great.”

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 their is ample shade in your neighborhood), as I prioritize their safety/wellness and do not want to burn their paws.

“We recently had the pleasure of having Sam watch our two dogs for nearly an entire week, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the care and attention he provided. Sam went above and beyond, even rearranging his work schedule to make sure our dogs were well looked after. He maintained their regimented routine, preparing their unique meals twice a day and taking them out for potty breaks and exercise an additional 3-4 times per day. His conscientiousness really showed in everything he did. Sam stayed overnight in our home, ensuring our dogs felt safe, secure, and comfortable in our absence. His communication was excellent—he sent us multiple photo updates throughout each day, which gave us such peace of mind. It was clear from the photos (and when we returned!) that our dogs were happy, calm, and well cared for. Honestly, I don’t think they even realized we were gone! Sam is incredible with animals, and it’s obvious he has a natural connection with dogs. He’s also friendly, respectful, and trustworthy. Knowing he was there allowed us to enjoy a much-needed vacation without any worry. We’re already planning to book Sam again for our next trip! If you’re looking for someone dependable, kind, and dedicated to caring for your pets as if they were his own, we can’t recommend Sam highly enough. Thank you again, Sam!”

About: I have 10+ years of dog experience, including helping with labor and delivery twice! I currently do not own any pets, so your fur baby will have my fullest attention! I enjoy playing with, talking to, and loving on all dogs! In the past I have helped clients at their own homes. I have a flexible schedule, and enjoy taking dogs on walks. I do work part-time so my schedule is more flexible. I have flexible hours with my job so I am able to drop by your pup’s home almost anytime! I love to give your dog some love and play time with my fullest attention!

“Victoria did a wonderful job sitting for my dogs and cats. I know it's a lot of work with multiple pets, especially with my oldest dog, Charlie, who takes multiple medications. Victoria followed all instructions and kept me updated with pictures and messages while I was gone. I appreciated not having to worry while I was out of town.”

About: I took care of my dog, Luna, since the first day she was born because her mom didn’t want her. I’d wake up every 2 hours to make sure she ate while she was little because I didn’t want anything to happen to her. Now she’s 4 years old running around with her parents and siblings. I have a cat, she recently turned one. I take her everywhere with me, she loves car rides now. At home I have dogs who I’d always look forward going to play with after work. Pets have been a part of my life for a while now and I enjoy it. When it comes to dogs, puppies, I know that most of the time all they want to do is play and I’m okay with that. I think it’s an important part of their life to keep them healthy and happy.I know some pets don’t like being alone and it’s makes me sad to see pets waiting by the door for their owners to show up. So I look forward to being with them whether it’s playing with them or just keeping them company while you’re out working or running errands.

About: I have a lot of experience with animals since I’ve grown up taking care of my own pets, including both dogs and cats. Having them has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to meet the needs of different types of animals. My pets are a big part of my life, and I really enjoy spending time with them and making sure they’re happy and healthy. I walk the dogs, give them baths, as well as feed and care for them. I am studying education at UTSA, and have classes that change every semester. I also work during the school year as the same schedule for NISD, because I am a teacher for learning tree. Monday-Friday 2:30-6:30pm. I always respond to messages and I am very good with time management! Since I have a busy schedule as a college student, I need as many details as possible and need to book me 2 weeks in advance. Sometimes I will accept last second jobs too. When caring for pets in my own home or a client’s home, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. This includes feeding them on schedule, giving them plenty of fresh water, exercise, and playtime, as well as keeping their living spaces clean. I also spend quality time with them, whether that’s going on walks, playing with toys, or just giving them attention and affection so they feel happy and cared for.
