About: I have worked and volunteered at animal shelters so I know how to handle dogs and tend to their needs. I have babysat dog for my family, family friends, neighbors. I’ve gone to check in on their puppies. I am a part-time college student. I only go to school two days out of the week and it is only in the morning time. We wake up let the dogs outside, let them back in to eat and then go back outside sometimes we will play outside will the ball. Our older dogs like to stay inside.

“Lynda is a true angel! She is so diligent and conscientious about every aspect of caring for my little old man. We are repeat clients and look forward to seeing Lynda every week. I wish I could give 100 stars!!”

About: 🐾 Hi there! I’m Jess, and I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments. I understand that senior pets often need extra attention, patience, and love. Whether it’s an energetic puppy, a shy cat, or a senior pet with special needs, I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, happy, and truly cared for—just like family. Caring for pets is my top priority right now, so I’m able to be flexible and reliable for your schedule. I prefer morning walks to avoid the Texas heat and make sure your dog has a safe, happy outing every time. I have one well-mannered indoor cat named Jax who is used to other pets and keeps to himself. My home has a fenced yard for safe outdoor time. I’m happy to crate your dog if needed and follow any routines or rules you have. Whether in my home or yours, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for.
About: I just love animals, I am a single women so I know how hard it is to keep a route with pets but still have a life. Would like to visit your pets in the evening so you can have a night out. I would make time to sit or play with your pet after I have went home to my own fur-babys If you need me to sit out side with them, feed them, play with them or just sit. I know how import human interaction is for pets
“Ignacio is a Great Dog Walker! Takes them really far and our dogs are problematic to say the least . Many dog walkers house sitters have refused to walk them but Ignacio can handle them really well and is now friends with them! Five stars!”

“Best dog sitter out there. Expected her to walk Jake and leave. Melisa stayed with Jake until we returned. Would hesitate to leave Jake with her for 6 month. Amazing people with a beautiful soul. God has blessed you Melisa. Hope to see you soon”

About: I have had dogs and cats as pets since kindergarten. I’ve had my 6 year-old mini schnauzer Kiki since she was 8 weeks old. My parents’ and friends’ pets have relied on me for check-ins with their dogs during working hours while I was a college student. Training puppies and giving extra care to senior dogs is my favorite. I currently work part-time 3 days per week and have plenty of time to care for your fur baby! My dog, Kiki, loves making new friends too! I will care for your pet as I do my own—with love, respect, support, and loooong walkies. I dabbled in grooming during Covid and can complete smaller tasks such as de-matting, brushing and trimming fur blocking dogs eyes, permitting they are friendly enough. I’m also comfortable with administering medications (oral and intramuscular).
“Destiny is amazing!!! She is so communicative, so sweet with my pup for his daily walks. She is also super reliable and flexible, 10/10 would use her for all my future pet needs, and recommend her with 5/5 stars!”

I also do have experience pet-sitting family, friends and neighbors cats and dogs and will love your fur baby as if they were my own! I am a very responsible, friendly, helpful and loving person. I will also provide photos while you’re away! I’m currently in grad school on winter break til January 5th! So I have full flexibility throughout the week (mornings, afternoons, evenings) to pet sit! Currently I have no pets in my apartment but will be considerate to caring for your pet in your home and ensure their safety at all times.
About: I used to run a small housesitting business in New Mexico... Starting with a love for my family's dogs (from the age of 3+! Dachshunds, Chihuahuas, Pomeranians, Maltese, and Chow Chows), I gradually expanded to helping care for other's "fur babies." Around the age of 11/12, my sister and I started our own housesitting/dog walking/horse feeding business, which continued until we both were in college (2016). Through word-of-mouth -advertising, we were able to help care for various family friends' animals and became repeat caretakers for our clients. I grew to understand how to care for animals with various medical needs (gastrointestinal upset, arthritis, amputations & rehabilitation, pancreatic cancer), administering multiple daily medications with formulated diets and maintaining daily routines while the owners vacationed or traveled for work. At one time, I even helped care for 4 horses (scooping poop was interesting)! Since graduating with my bachelor's, I’ve worked full-time work as a pathophysiology instructor here in San Antonio, Texas (love 🖤the food and walks around nature!). I currently live in the Monte Vista area and am looking to expand my network of both people and pets! While I work primarily from home, I spend a lot of time outdoors on the weekends and love going for walks (when it’s not too hot to do so). Let me help take care of your babies! I love playing catch, walking/running, playing with toys, and giving all the belly rubs! I have a lot of flexibility working remotely. Fun, cool, extra treat included with your care: expect plenty of selfies of your pets! I am a Millennial, after all… While I work a traditional 8-5 Monday-Friday schedule, I am an early riser and am either home or with friends (& their pets) when I'm not working! I have extensive experience working & staying in clients homes and place heavy importance on respecting your preferences. While I love on your dogs & cats as if they were my own, I want to be sure that you feel comfortable with me taking care of your babies! The first things I like to ask about are: a) What is __'s daily routine? b) What times are he/she/they fed & what quantity? Any special diet or medications? c) How much time are they used to having with their humans? d) Walks? Daily, every few days, weekends? e) What have you liked/disliked about previous house sitters/dog walkers, if any? f) Would you be comfortable with me staying in your home (if dogsitting)? Or would you prefer that I just check in with them during the day/night with someone else's help? g) Would you feel comfortable with me documenting your dogs/cats during my visits with them? To send you updates? I love a good themed photo shoot!! *Please read the “Pet Care Experience” above. h) Are there any additional things you would like for me to know?
About: Looking for an animal lover to walk, spoil, or play fun games with your pet? Want some cute check-in pictures or a pet report card while you’re away? Stop your search - I got you! For YEARS I have pet-sat for friends and family, simply because I’m always happy to make a new furry friend. As I start a new chapter in my life, I decided to take a break from my 9-5. The good news for you? That means I can offer a very flexible schedule throughout the work day to give you peace of mind when away from your pup. I currently offer walking or drop-in services, but may extend my services a bit more in the future. I have cared for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes - from weeks old to senior animals and from teeny teacup chihuahuas to 100 pounds tanks. I am happy to accommodate special requests (trust me I’ve heard some interesting ones) - from tucking your pup in with a blanket before I leave to pretending to “cook” their kibble before being served. My dog has her own weird quirks and nothing makes me feel better than knowing when I’m out of town, her sitter is doing their best to keep her routine as normal as possible. I would love to offer that same relief to you :) I have quite a bit of experience administering medication orally, just let me know the tips and tricks for your specific pet. I am happy to work on some basic training with your pup while you are away. We can even play hide-and-seek with treats to keep those noses sharp! I am currently working part time with an extremely flexible schedule. I typically like to keep my Saturdays free but am open to any other day of the week! Please let me know what your pet is used to and I will do my best to accommodate. I offer neighborhood walks if you are in a walkable area or can drop in to your home.
About: I've grown up in a family of animal lovers. We've had everything from hamsters and ducks to snakes and salamanders. When my sister and I were old enough, we cared for all of them on our own. Dogs and cats have always been a constant in my life and I can't imagine not having them around. We'd take in all kinds of injured animals, help them and release or find sanctuaries more equipped. My sister is now a veterinarian and we often reminisce about times we've rescued injured roadrunners, moved turtles out of roads and nursed our guard cat's wounds after a night of fighting off neighborhood critters. That being said, I have a lot of experience with administering medication (liquid, pills, injections and cleaning/dressing wounds) for various types of animals. I'm incredibly grateful that my sister is just a phone call away for any random animal questions or concerns that come up. Feel free to ask if you have other types of animals that require check-in's or sitting - fish, rabbit, reptiles, etc. I mainly work from home, but do pickup a handful of 9am-5pm work days a month. I will change my availability once those commitments come up, but feel free to contact me with special requests regarding days/times - my day's are generally flexible! My top priority is your pet's well being and comfort. At My Home: My senior dog and I maintain a cozy environment in our home. If your pet prefers to be the only animal or needs more one-on-one attention, my mom is always happy to babysit my dog so you're little (or big) one can make an easier adjustment. I provide a safe, pet-friendly environment where they can relax, play and get plenty of attention. Your pet will maintain a routine based on their usual schedule, including feeding times, walks and playtime. There is space to play inside as well as a very large fenced in yard that's great for the zoomies. If walks or runs are preferred, I'd be more than happy to get some exercise with them! Mental stimulation is important so in addition to supervised exploration in the yard, I can provide puzzles or tasks to keep them engaged. At Your House: Caring for pets in their home is all about maintaining their comfort and routine. I'll visit your home as often as needed, adhering to their schedule for feeding, walks, playtime and any necessary medication. I'll make sure they feel secure and loved by diligently following any specific instructions to maintain your pet's routine and well-being (including administering medication, dietary restrictions and extra attention if needed). With either option, I am all about open communication - expect updates! My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy and loved while giving you peace of mind knowing they're comfortable and having fun.
About: I’ve been around dogs and Cats my whole life and have had so many different kinds of pets from Dogs, cats, ducks to even baby piglets. I Grew up in a Farm so animals have always been a part of me. I’ve worked in many shelters and grooming facilities and do animal volunteer works in various sanctuaries. Im currently on a part time job and only work mornings on the week days and on the weekends im off. Unfortunately i haven’t committed to getting another pet as of now but this gives me enough time to dedicate all my attention to your own fur baby. I have a very clean apartment, i just moved in downtown so there’s not that many furniture but plenty of play space. My apartment has a dog area to were the pets can play and go for potty training. I like to make both the owners and furry babies comfortable so im flexible to any rules or food diets that they might have.
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 10 and have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages. I handle feeding, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, and administering basic medications. I’m comfortable with overnight stays, following specific routines, and caring for shy, energetic, or senior pets. I’m reliable, patient, and always make sure pets feel safe and well cared for. I attend classes at UTSA and work part-time (12–15 hrs/week), giving me flexible availability on weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I can provide reliable care, feeding, playtime, and attention for both short visits and longer stays. I care for dogs and cats in their own home, including feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, walks, playtime, and medication if needed, while following the owner’s routines to keep pets happy and comfortable.
About: I love taking care of pets of size, playing with them and taking them for walks. I was always around dogs growing up and loved it. I love teaching dogs new tricks and rewarding them for good behavior! I am very patient and kind when it come to caring for dogs. I work part time and have all of my morning available through out the week. I have a doggie of my own, who is about to turn 9 in a few months. I can keep up with your active young one or give comfort and rest for your old or lazy one :)) I'm currently working from home so I'm pretty flexible with my schedule during the weekday and available all day during the weekends and all holidays I have a large dog park close to where I live, it takes 3 mins by car so no need to be concerned about your active babies!
