About: I am an experienced animal caregiver with over 2 decades of experience with dogs large and small, puppies and seniors, cats and kittens as well as experience with animals as small as pocket pets like ferrets, as well as animals as large as draft horses! I am very communicative with my clients as my animals are my babies and I want to ensure they are safe and happy while I am away and I ensure my clients are updated with how their furry companion(s) are handling their absence. Due to having 4 dogs and a medium sized cat, I no longer offer boarding at my home however my schedule for house sitting and drop in visits / walks is usually pretty open. Send me a message and we can chat to see if we are a right fit! My years of experience has left me with nothing but positive feedback. I care for others pets as if they were my own. I have reliable transportation with a clean driving record and am always willing to take your pet out for a walk at a trail such as mission reach trails which I live just a few short blocks away from or to a dog park if the client sees fit.
“I was visiting San Antonio from out of town while my sister was in the hospital and found myself needing someone on very short notice to sit with my baby, Bear. Lexus responded quickly and immediately put my mind at ease. She took such wonderful care of him, kept me updated throughout the entire visit, sent photos, and communicated consistently the whole time. Being away from your pet during an already stressful situation can be difficult, but I truly felt secure leaving Bear in her care. Lexus was kind, dependable, attentive, and professional. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter and would definitely book with her again in the future.”

“Nichole was very attentive and Lenny enjoyed his time with her. She went above and beyond and paid special attention to him because he was sick, but still took the time to let my other pet out and take care of him. Her background as a VA was a big reason why we chose her, but her compassion and attention to detail is why I'll chose her first going foward.”


About: I’ve always grown up around dogs and have owned them throughout my life. As a student attending school to major in Veterinary Medicine, I want to get the best experience I can day by day. I currently own a doxie right now and she truly deserves the best. I am currently a sophomore student athlete going into my second semester. I want to be able to stay busy and get some experience with a variety of pets by understanding day by day. Also please understand that I will do my best to keep my availability updated, and as a student athlete please have patience with me. Thank you! I believe that caring for an animal is like caring for a child. The attention and care is a priority, as I do have a doxie myself. She is my whole world and she truly deserves the best along with all other pets!
“Ashley was fantastic! Her background as a former vet tech really shows—she’s incredibly knowledgeable about puppies and made us feel completely at ease. We also reached out last minute, and she was so accommodating and flexible with our schedule. We’re really grateful for her help and would definitely book with her again!”
“Could not have chosen a better sitter for our pup. We came in from out of town and I was so nervous to get a sitter to come to our Air B&B but Nev hit it out of the park! I am so thankful and would love to come back and have this star sitter in the future!”

“Sierra is so very good with our two dogs Poppy and Andie. We forgot to turn off a garden house heat lamp and she took care of that for us. Big thanks! We’re sure Poppy and Andie look forward to her next scheduled appointment.”

“I had such a wonderful experience with Rebecca when she house sat for my dog and cat. She was communicative, kind, funny, and clear. I would love to book with her again in the future.”

“Noel was wonderful! She took care of my girl like she was her own. She left my house spotless and was super communicative and checked in every day. Would recommend her to anyone.”

“Ciria is absolutely incredible! She is very communicative, sweet, and reliable. I appreciate how she always keeps me updated on the kitties. Better yet, she has fun with them by giving treats, playing, and dressing them up. We came home to happy, healthy, well-loved kitties which is all you can ask for. Thank you Ciria!!”

“Jared will genuinely care with love for your pets, whether they are dogs, cats, gerbils or horses. He has a special gift with all animals and for as long as he's available he is my top choice to care for mine, always.”

“I can’t thank Jacob enough for taking care of my dogs and newborn puppies while I was on vacation. He followed every instruction to the letter, kept the house clean, and made sure the pups were fed and rotated with the mom just like we planned. He was reliable, respectful, and even updated me with photos and messages so I had peace of mind the whole time. I highly recommend him to anyone needing a dependable and caring pet sitter. Appreciate you, Jacob!”

“Adirah did an incredible job with my pup, Cooper. She was kind enough to do a meet and greet to get him comfortable and kept me updated on things all weekend. She also took very good care of the apartment. I’m so grateful she was able to look after my little guy and I will most certainly be booking with her again.”

“We cannot thank Mel enough for dog sitting. It is truly amazing to have someone you can fully trust with your fluffy babies when you are away home. They not only give our dogs the best care, but they are flexible with any last minute changes including extending dog sitting. They send us many pictures and videos of them everyday, and keep us updated on everything. We are so lucky and blessed to have found the best dog sitters that we can trust our lives with and will be always going back to them.”

“Stefanie is amazing! We’ve had her for in home boarding multiple times and she takes the best care of our fur babies. She goes above and beyond and both our dogs and cat absolutely love her.”


About: Dogpark local from the downtown area. I have a dog, Barbie, and my two cats, Kori and Envy. I’m active, positive, professional, and gentle. I feed both my cats and dog in the morning and afternoon. I take Barbie out every morning and afternoon, sometimes at night around the park. All of my animals are very playful. I am a Dogpark local, who takes care of many of my friends pets and homes. This includes taking them to the Dog Park, walking, and sitting for them.
About: I have a genuine connection to animals and care deeply for them. In my own home I care for a senior dog and two bunnies. I always give my animals my first and my best. My schedule is flexible as I prepare for graduate school. My goal is to make some connections with families that need additional pet care that I can work my schedule around to accommodate theirs. In my client's home I will be sure to understand and fulfill all of the specific expectations they have for their pets. I will provide love, comfort and a safe environment for any and all pets. While you are away, at work or just need a little extra support I will make sure your sweet pet feels all the love they are missing.
About: I have had dogs in my life since I was two years old, and caring for animals has always been second nature to me. As a medical student and longtime animal foster, I bring a thoughtful, attentive approach to every pet I care for. I have volunteered extensively as a foster for dogs and cats of all ages, from young puppies and kittens to adult and senior pets, including those who need extra patience and structure. I have hands-on experience with basic puppy training such as potty training, crate routines, and early behavior shaping, as well as working with mildly reactive and timid dogs who thrive with calm, consistent handling. I am also comfortable providing medical support, including post-spay and neuter care, post-amputation recovery, medication administration, and close monitoring during healing. My goal is always to create a safe, steady, and loving environment where your pet feels secure and genuinely cared for. As a medical student, I have a fairly flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate consistent time and attention to the pets I care for. I can accommodate regular walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, and I am happy to work with your specific needs and routines. Pet care fits naturally into my day, and I make sure each visit is calm, attentive, and tailored to your pet’s personality and energy level. When caring for pets, I tailor my approach to the individual animal and the environment, whether in my home or the client’s home. For visits at your home, I follow your routines for feeding, walking, play, and rest, and I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level. In my home, I provide a calm and safe space with plenty of enrichment, social interaction, and structured care. I have no other animals or children in my home, which allows me to give each pet my full attention. I am experienced with pets of all ages and temperaments, including shy or timid animals, and I can provide medical support such as administering medications or monitoring recovery from procedures. My goal is always to ensure your pet feels secure, happy, and cared for while you are away.

Roxann did a great job caring for our dog Libby. She was professional, dependable, and very easy to work with throughout the entire process. Libby was comfortable with her from the start, and it was clear she was in good hands. We truly appreciated Roxann’s care and would highly recommend her.

Caileigh took exceptional care of Malla while we were away for several days. She followed Malla’s feeding and medication schedule exactly as instructed and sent daily updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. From every update, it was clear that Malla was happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. We also returned to a spotless home, which we truly appreciated. Caileigh was reliable, communicative, and clearly very attentive and caring. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch Malla and would absolutely recommend Caileigh to anyone looking for a trustworthy and thoughtful caregiver.
