“Nicole and her fiance, AJ we're absolutely amazing. They were open and honest about their schedules for the two days they were dog sitting. I really appreciate that especially after a bad experience last time. They took care of my three dogs really well with multiple walks and even spoon feeding my picky eater dog. Very impressed by their deligence and being there for my doggies while I was away. My dogs were well loved and taken care of. It is so comforting to know your fur babies are in trustworthy hands and you can travel with peace of mind. I am definitely booking them for my next trip. Highly recommend hiring this couple for all your dog-sitting needs!!! Seven Stars to them!!!”

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!

“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.”

“This was ourfirst experience with Rover and we could not have been more pleased with Madison! She cared for our pets as if they were her own. Prior to her visit, we had a vet emergency and explained the issue and asked her to keep an extra eye out him. Well our pet had the issue come up while away and Madison did such a great job notifying immediately and took to the vet to receive the medical attention. In addition, during her visit, she sent updates on all the other pets. I highly recommend Madison!!”

“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.”

“Sophie was great. My fur baby Symba warmed up to her right away! So important to a cat mommy!”

Dawn R.

“Kadence is an amazing sitter! I have four adorable fur babies, and they can be quite challenging, but Kadence handled everything with ease. I can't wait to book her again for our pet care needs she's simply the best!”

Cynthia E.

“We were without cell service for the weekend while camping. Typically that would make me so nervous, but I had zero anxiety about how my two cats and dog were because Grace is a true animal lover and pet sitter. She got to know their personalities and was spot on about what each of them likes/needs - such a great feeling for a pet owner. Thank you, Grace!”

About: I have owned and cared for cats for the majority of my life. My sweet cat Rigby is nine years old, who had stomatitis which caused him to lose all his teeth, because of this I am comfortable administering medication or food through a feeding tube, a syringe and by mouth if need be. He also has sensitive skin, so I have applied topical ointments and oils to his skin. He also lets me clip his nails and clean his ears. I work as a grad intern in the school system, so I am available after 4pm on weekdays and available anytime on weekends, or flexible depending on my part-time job. I have a nine year old cat who had stomatitis which caused him to lose all his teeth, so I cared for his pre and post operation care, like administering food and medicine through his feeding tube. I believe open communication is key, so I will always contact you before making a decision regarding your fur baby. I love and cherish all animals. I have not cared for my own dog, yet, but I would love to learn!
