Dog Walking The Vineyard

About: Going on vacation, need a getaway, or just take a break? Trustworthy and reliable house and pet sitter can help. Need a companion to supervise your kids, pets, and elderly family? Caring for your loved ones at home, while they do their normal routine and activities, to be cozy and comfortable. I love being around people, kids, and pets doing activities, conversing, or just quietly keeping them company, if preferred. My experience includes property management, substituting in public schools, volunteer at animal shelters and rescues, helped with community cats, and also watch my own critters along with friends and family. I do have a part-time property management career during the day but can schedule you early mornings and late afternoon evenings, as well as weekends, and holidays. Visits and tasks are personalized with your instructions, to meet your needs. Let me know if I can assist you with anything and get some spare time on your hands to do more!

About: I grew up with all types of different pets in the household from dogs to guinea pigs to birds and even shrimp! So, naturally, I came to love for all animals! Loving them means to also care for them, so I had to provide care for each animal making sure they were properly fed, cleaned, and had a safe environment to sleep. What you can expect from me: * Quick responses * Reliable scheduling * Updates/photos during visits * Respect for your home and routine I currently work part time and go to school full time, but I still have plenty of time to dedicate to the loved animals of San Antonio. I promise to provide the absolute best care to your pets and to your homes. I will make sure your pets are kept safe and properly cared for. I also walk my dogs all the time, so I know proper handling and care when walking a dog.

About: What sets me apart from other caretakers is the care and attention I give to every pet. Each pet is different they have there own personality and needs. I make sure that your pet feels loved, comfortable and is safe. I am dependable, patient, and committed to following your pets routine while keeping you posted for a piece of mind. I currently have a small business and I am a college student at UTSA. Right now I am on summer so I am flexible to walk your pet at any time. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean litter box, plenty of attention, and playtime when they want it. I also keep owners updated and make it a priority to be reliable, respectful of their home, and on time for every visit.

“Allison did amazing! She was so great walking Fenway and with excellent communication. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone who needed some trustworthy pet care:)”

“Reliable, on time and very communicative as always :) I know my Lalo is always taken care of and I really appreciate that he lets him run wild and free off leash at the dog park and all the precious photos and videos that I’m sent ♥️ I’ve been going thru a really hard time having to work full time and visiting my brother in the ICU and I can’t thank him enough for taking on my Husky who can be a handful 😅 couldn’t be more thankful 😭”

About: I believe what sets me apart is my experience working in a veterinary clinic, where I’ve gained hands-on knowledge of animal health and behavior. I’m comfortable administering medications, recognizing signs of illness, and staying calm in stressful situations. I’m also very reliable and make sure to follow each pet’s routine closely while keeping owners updated, so they always feel at ease. I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to give your pups lots of attention, play with them, and make sure they’re well taken care of! I’ll be able to keep them company throughout the day and give them plenty of love and exercise. I will always make sure a pet is comfortable in my home. I may live in an apartment, but I will make sure your furry friend goes on as many walks as they want.

About: I have several years of experience caring for pets, including dogs, cats, and other animals. I had a Lhasa Apso for eight years (2010–2018), and I currently have a cat that I adopted in May 2024. I’ve been providing pet care services since May 2023 and have experience working with a variety of breeds, temperaments, and personalities. I’m reliable and compassionate, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals, always making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for! :) I love spending my time meeting and caring for pets! I’ve recently opened up my schedule, so I now have much more flexible availability and can accommodate a variety of times. I’m generally available until early evening and prefer to complete visits before dark when possible. Feel free to message me to check my availability and discuss booking options! I prioritize safety, supervision, and following each pet’s routine closely. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure they are always secure, whether that means using a leash, keeping doors and gates closed, or supervising them closely indoors and outdoors. I’m attentive to each pet’s behavior and comfort level, and I always follow any specific instructions provided. I’m also comfortable with tasks such as feeding, refilling water, crating if needed, and providing playtime and companionship.

“Tim is timely and when he arrives he quickly leashes and starts walks. The dogs are excited to see him and they are eager to head out the door. They do the loop in the neighborhood and each dog gets one on one for the walk”

About: I have a dog currently and have had a cat in the past, as well as pet sat for neighbors with both!! I love playing with pets and am great at remembering specific care instructions and personalizing experiences! I work part time and do online college so I have a lot of free time for pet sitting. I'm fully off 2-3 days a week. I'm available for overnight sitting at your place or drop-in visits, whichever is most convenient!! I know every pet is different and I care for them based on their needs. I am comfortable giving pets medications and extra care when needed. I enjoy walking dogs and doing play time with pets as well.

“Andria has been a real help to me this past week with all the weather uncertainty. She is responsible about communicating….. and on time when she is committed to a certain date and time. I think her qualifications are more than adequate for the responsibility she carries in walking our precious pets.”

Kathy R.

“Lorena, is absolutely one of the best people !! I'm thankful Dillinger is her walker!”

Trina M.

“We love Marla, she takes such good care of our pup and she is very accommodating to our changing schedule! It puts our minds at ease to know someone comes to visit Layla while we are at work and we know she looks forward to Marla’s visits :)”

Alexa R.

“Jessica is such a treat to have watching my pups. They love to see her coming and she's so responsive and communicative. I really, highly recommend her to watch your pups!”

About: I want your pets to feel cared for and emotionally safe! I love animals, and have an anxious pup myself. I know what he needs to feel calm and what it’s like to take care of animals with separation anxiety. I also know what it’s like to take care of high-energy dogs that need a lot of play or exercise! I adjust the activities I do with them based on their needs and energy levels. I am happy to give lots of hugs, cuddles, and attention to pets while you are away! I am currently training my dog to be a service animal. I am currently working part-time and as an independent contractor, so my schedule is open and available for dog walks and dog sitting in-house! I treat every client’s home the way I’d want mine to be treated- with respect and privacy. It’s important to have someone you trust in your personal space and with your fur-babies! I will take care of your pets like they are my own. I love my own dog very much and know how stressful it can be to leave him with a stranger that I trust!

About: Although I’m new to Rover, I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for dogs through friends, family, and my own crazy pup. I’ve cared for dogs with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels, making sure they stay comfortable, active, and on their normal routine. I understand how important consistency is for dogs, so I carefully follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, medication (when needed), potty breaks, playtime, and any special care. I also know that leaving your pet with someone else requires trust, which is why I prioritize communication by providing regular updates and photos throughout every visit. Living in Texas means I always keep the weather in mind when caring for dogs. During especially hot days, I focus on safe ways for pets to stay active and comfortable. I’m an active person who enjoys spending time outdoors, so energetic dogs will always get plenty of exercise, while calmer dogs will receive the patience and attention they need. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with company, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for until you’re back home. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy making time for in my weekly routine. At the moment, I have open availability until my college classes begin on August 20. Once classes start, I’ll continue offering flexible scheduling around my school and work commitments, with availability on my days off as well as before or after shifts. I keep my Rover calendar up to date and only accept bookings I know I can fully commit to, so every pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. I provide a safe, caring, and comfortable environment where every pet can feel at home. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can get exercise, play, and enjoy outdoor time while being supervised. I also have a loving and friendly 6-month-old Belgian Malinois/German Shepherd mix who enjoys playing and socializing with other dogs. I always make sure introductions are done properly and that every dog feels comfortable. I do have a pool area at my home, but it is not used for pet activities and I always supervise pets closely to make sure they stay safe and do not access the pool. Whether caring for pets in my home or visiting a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their routines, providing attention, and creating a safe, positive experience.

“Yaretzi is wonderful. She’s a great communicator, punctual and so great with our Australian Shepherd, Sadie. She can get very excited for her walk and Yaretzi handles it with such patience. Highly recommended her!”

“So thankful to have found Abby on Rover! I just moved to the area and had to start over with finding someone to walk my dog while I worked long shifts and Abby is the perfect fit! My little dude is very shy and Abby has been so patient with him, gives me peace of mind knowing he’s getting well taken care of ❤️”

Casey F.

“Thanks for always being available to help us out even on short notice! Will is great with our pup. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great Rover! All the best Will.”
