Dog Walking The Vineyard

About: I’ve been caring for animals of all shapes and sizes since I was a little girl. Cats, dogs, bunnies, turtles, a chameleon. You name it, I’ve probably cared for it. Animals hold such a special place in my heart and in this world, and they deserve to be treated as such. I have experience with puppies and older dogs, caring for sick animals who need medication administered and specialized care. I have experience bathing, training, and everything in between. My too many Australian shepherds have taught me the importance of mental enrichment as well as physical activity. I treat every animal as my own and will provide peace of mind that your fur baby is safe with me! I currently work part-time for my family owned HVAC, electrical, and plumbing business while I do my masters of business administration program online. This allows for my schedule to be very flexible ensuring I’m able to meet your needs. The safety, comfort and protect protection of your animal is my highest priority. Constant supervision of your pet ensures they aren’t getting into anything they shouldn’t be. (Like the trash can if they’re anything like my dog) Creating a warm and comforting environment for your animal so they feel right at home is something I always strive for. Understanding that not all animals are the same, they have different personalities just like us human humans, and that each will require a different approach to gaining their trust.

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.

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: Hi! I’m so excited to meet you and your furry family members! 🐾 I’m a caring, dependable pet lover who understands how important it is to feel comfortable and confident when someone else is caring for your pets. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I’m happy to tailor my care to your pet’s individual needs and routine. During visits, I can provide walks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, cuddles, medication reminders, and plenty of attention and companionship. I’m also happy to send regular photo and video updates so you can see how your pet is doing while you’re away! I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and understand that every pet has their own personality, preferences, and routines. I currently have two dogs of my own, so I know how much they mean to their families and how important it is to find someone you can trust. I’m comfortable with energetic dogs, dogs who need extra patience and attention, and pets who simply want someone nearby for some company and cuddles. I work full-time as a school counselor, so my availability is primarily before and after work, evenings, weekends, and select days when I’m off. I’m very intentional about the bookings I accept so that I can give each pet the time and attention they deserve rather than rushing through visits. My goal is for your pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll treat them like they’re my own and do my best to keep their normal routine consistent. I’d love the opportunity to get to know you and your pets and become someone you can rely on! ❤️🐶 I’m working part time during the day but I am available evenings and weekends to help with walks, feedings, medications and anything else you might need! I have a fenced backyard and a nice cozy shaded neighborhood to walk your pets around! I have toys galore and treats too for all your pets.

“Each week Tim walks the dogs, I have one much older dog that benefits from the outing, a very shy dog that needs the walk, and our crazy energetic dog that loves to get out.”

“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.”

About: Hi! My name is Francy, and I have over 16 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. From small lap dogs to large, active pups, I’m comfortable and confident providing safe, loving care tailored to each dog’s needs. I also have experience caring for dogs with special needs, including administering medications and supporting diabetic pets. Your dog’s health, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. In my home, your pup will enjoy: • 3–4 daily walks 🐕 • A large, secure backyard for playtime 🌿 • Plenty of attention, love, and supervision ❤️ • Daily photo updates so you feel connected 📸 I follow your dog’s routine closely and make sure they feel at home, safe, and stress-free. Please feel free to contact me anytime—I’d love to care for your furry family member! Pet care is the central part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule around the dogs in my care to make sure they receive consistent attention, exercise, and supervision throughout the day. Each day includes multiple walks (3–4 times daily or as needed), feeding based on their usual schedule, playtime in my large backyard, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I am dedicated to this fulltime, which allows me to closely monitor their behavior and ensure they feel safe and comfortable. I also make time to provide updates to pet parents with photos and notes at least twice a day. If a dog requires medication or has special needs, I carefully follow their routine and instructions. My weekly routine is very flexible, so I can adapt to each dog’s specific needs and energy level. Pet care is not just something I fit in—it’s a priority in my everyday life. I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment whether pets are in my home. Dogs are treated like part of the family. I follow their regular routine for feeding, potty breaks, and sleep to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. Daily walks, plenty of playtime in my secure backyard, and lots of attention throughout the day. I always supervise interactions and create a calm environment where each dog feels safe.

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.

“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:)”

About: I have a fenced-in backyard. A friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. Also I can create my dog if needed. I do have a senior dachshund. I'm a stay-at-home mom. I have more than enough time on my hands. I love dogs and I've been experienced with dogs mostly all my life I make sure they are fed and taken care of. I would take them out 3 or more times to let them go to the bathroom

About: Howdy! I've grown up surrounded by all types of fur babies and have been caring for neighborhood pets since I was about 8 years old. Over the years, I've looked after dogs, cats, hamsters, and even ferrets for friends, family, and neighbors. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, from puppies as young as two weeks old to senior dogs up to 18 years old. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply relaxing, I'll make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. I treat every pet like they're part of my own family, and I'll love and care for your fur baby like the king or queen they are. I'm currently a university student with a very flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pet's care. Since I'm not working another job, I'm able to accommodate a variety of schedules, provide frequent potty breaks, and give your pet lots of attention throughout the day. Whether you need daycare, overnight care, drop-in visits, or walks, I'll do my best to work around your schedule and your pet's routine. Your pet's comfort and safety are always my top priorities. I have a spacious, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and go outside whenever they need to. At home, I typically let my own dogs out every 2–3 hours and spend time playing with them outside, so any dogs staying with me will receive the same level of care and attention. I also love taking dogs on walks, especially early in the morning when it's cooler outside, so they can get plenty of exercise without having to deal with the Texas heat. I'll always follow your pet's usual routine as closely as possible and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing they're in good hands.

“Jessica has been wonderful with my two dogs. She comes on time and takes them on. 30 minute walk. She is flexible and my dogs are happy when they come home.”

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.

About: Hey there! I’m a current student at UTSA with 5 years of experience in dog walking & pet sitting for friends and family. I have two dogs named Chaos and Riot (standard/pocket bully mix from the same litter!) and a blind cat named Francis (American Wirehair), so I’m pretty well versed in caring for both types of pets! I have also had many pets before them (some of which required medical care) so I have experience administering medication. Though I’m a full time student, I have plenty of breaks available in my day to check on your pet and make sure they get all the play time and love that they need! I’m also an active runner, so if you’re dog loves running I’d love to take them with me! I can’t wait to meet your precious pets! I'm a full-time student at UTSA and work part-time, but I still have plenty of time for pet care on weekdays and weekends! Here is my availability for dog walking and check-ins. Mondays & Wednesdays: Early Morning: 6:00 AM – 7:00 AM Mid-Day/Lunch: 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM Evening: 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM Tuesdays & Thursdays: Early Morning: 6:00 AM – 7:00 AM Mid-Day/Lunch: 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM Evening: 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM Fridays: Morning & Afternoon: 6:00 AM – 2:00 PM Evening: 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM Saturdays & Sundays: Fully open & available all day! HOUSE SITTING: I am available for house sitting every night of the week! Please note that on weekdays, I will briefly step out during my daytime class & work hours, but I will always return during my scheduled time blocks listed above to feed, play with, and love on your pet! During housesitting, my goal is to maintain your pet's familiar environment and daily routine to minimize anxiety when you are away! I follow your feeding schedule, provide proper medical care (if applicable), and stick to my listed time blocks so pets are never left alone for more than a few hours at a time during the day. I keep your living space clean and secure, with the utmost respect, leaving the space exactly as I found it! I also send frequent photo and text updates so you can enjoy your peace of mind knowing that your pet is happy, relaxed, and safe! For check-ins or dog walking, I enter your home and greet your precious pets to ease any entry anxiety and check that their environment is safe and calm. I refill (and clean, if necessary) water bowls, and if requested, feed your pets the requested portions along with any oral medications. For cat drop-ins, I do a thorough daily scoop of the litter box and clean up any tracked litter. For pups, I immediately handle any accidents made during time unsupervised. Being well-versed in caring for both dogs and cats, in the many life stages, your pet will receive the best playtime (or chill time if that's their cup of tea!). As mentioned in my bio, I am an active runner, so if your pup loves to run, then we'd have a blast!
