About: I've been working with animals for the past 5 Years! I started as a dog daycare attendant for a year where I learned how to read dog body language and behavior as well as how to handle emergency situations with dogs. I then became a full time pet sitter on my own and would watch all kinds of animals from household reptiles, small animals, cat, and of course dogs! After 1 year of this I switched to part time sitter to become a full time dog trainer! I trained for a year before becoming a manager at a pet hotel. I love my job to this day and still care for dogs and cats at my current job! I'm currently a stay at home mom for my babies so I am always home a ready to provide care! I usually (as weather permits of course) take a morning walk between 8-10am with my dog and my boarding friends, hang out around the house and backyard until our evening walk before bed around 8-10pm after the sun is down! I am constantly boarding dogs in my home so I do have extra crates if needed otherwise I only have 1 dog of my own who is a St. Bernard and is pretty lazy so he will be there to keep my boarding dogs company but also knows to nap if the other dogs need a break from playing. When I go to clients homes I always find a way to occupy my time with my clients and keep my attention on those animals!

About: I have been an ongoing volunteer at the Animal Defense League of San Antonio since I was about 9 y/o, taking the dogs on walks and socializing the cats and kittens. I have thorough knowledge and experience with raising and fostering kittens, as well as dogs just under 1y/o. I've owned and fostered cats and dogs at varying life stages, throughout my entire life as well. I am well experienced and knowledgeable in animal care and the handling of a myriad of pets and wildlife. While currently also shadowing a very experienced and accredited dog trainer, I am definitely confident in my ability to provide extra care and love for your sweet, fur-babies. Currently, I am in-between jobs, so I as long as I have about a day's heads-up, I'm usually free pretty much any day to care for you furry friend. I perfer to start my work day around afternoon to late afternoon, though morning time isn't a deal-breaker. After meeting and getting acquainted with your fur-baby, I'd appreciate it if, after being told everything you want me to be aware of your pet, you were to also write down detailed notes about your pet's daily routine; feeding times, what food/treats they are and aren't allowed to comsue, common behaviors, what they're allowed and aren't allowed to do around the house, any necessary medications (if any), etc.

“Great experience! Ciara went above and beyond what I expected her to do. Great communication. She was wonderful with my puppy. Highly recommend her.”

About: I've been raised around pets my whole life. There has not been a point in time when I didn't have the responsibility of caring for a dog or cat. I currently take care of our family cat, Vogue. I have been in care for dogs for years, including our Cane Corso! Though I have my availability as open daily, Monday-Friday I’m available from 5PM-10PM and Sundays 6AM-10AM. Saturdays will be subjective to availability, so please inquire! Since I only offer dog walking, the most I can say here is that my home is pet friendly with enough space for my family and my cat!

“Emoni has taken great care of my doodle Mela the past week! They go on walks and lay with balls, which Mela loves. I really recommend Emoni to care for your pup!”

“Pamela was great! I had to go out of town within a couple days and she was able to take care of my dog and was super flexible with everything! Couldn’t have asked for a better care taker!”

“My Bailey's home away from home!! Ok so a little background- my dog Bailey is a rescue who was physically abused by her previous owner. For this reason, she is utterly terrified of new people because she has a natural distrust for people following early life events. Kristen and her family originally spent time coming to my house to walk Bailey and spend time with her, and Bailey had been doing well with the new dog walkers! However, after learning about Bailey's concerns, Kristen thought it may improve Bailey's situation to have her spend the day at doggy daycare, and let me tell you, she and her family have done an amazing job taking care of Bailey!!! I've never seen her so happy every day when I come to pick her up (and probably even more happy to be dropped off :P). It's only been a few weeks and I can already tell Kristen and her family are making her feel at home away from home, and carefully allowing her to interact with other dogs and humans when Bailey is ready. I've been absolutely overjoyed seeing her improvement in socialization skills, and, really, just how happy and comfortable she is; makes my day! On a side note, following several meetings with a Behavioralist, I'm actively training her to help improve her anxiety and fear toward people. Kristen understands how important this is and has been ensuring Bailey is trained (in the same way I'm training her for continuity sake) while at doggy daycare, since I don't have the opportunity to train her several times throughout the day during the work week. Her obedience has improved, and better yet, she's starting to see new people with a different outlook; she's excited to make new friends! Thank you Kristen!!”

“Brianna has been such an easy sitter! She has a great personality and Bo loved when she visited, I would definitely book her again and hopefully sooner than later. If you want a worry free dog sitter, reach out to Brianna! She is flexible and keeps up with communication!”

“Analisa did a great job with my baby girl. Analisa sent me pictures while they were walking and playing!”

Karri C.

“She always does so great! My dog is always excited when Carolina comes for his daily walk. Thank you for all you do.”

“Cassi is amazing ! I am pretty picky when it comes to walking my puppy a certain way and she didn't hesitate to take the time to learn the different cues and commands I use so that she can help reinforce his training while on walks with her. She kept me updated throughout the visit and I was at ease knowing my baby was in good hands while I was away.”

About: I'm new to Rover but NOT new to watching/caring for animals! I've taken care of animals for a long time. I grew up on a farm, and did chores for the chickens, sheep, horses, and of course, dogs! I now pet sit for friends and colleagues' cats and dogs. My husband and I don't have my own animals right now, so we enjoy getting to take care of other people's fur babies. I currently work part time, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I like to know your expectations, and make sure you and your pet get exactly what you need! I have watched dogs in my apartment on multiple occasions. The apartment complex is dog friendly, with doggie bags on the sidewalk and a nice little dog park as well!

“Alice loves John. When she hears his voice she literally runs to the door. John greets her with a big body rub. He also talks to her. You can tell that he really enjoys doing this job.”

About: I will take great care of your fluffy! I have had years of experience with both house pets and farm animals! I’ve spent many years working on farms and have worked professionally as an in-home pet sitter for two years. I’ve had experience with elderly animals, puppies/kittens, special needs animals, and with administering medications. I am home full time, with plenty of availability to care for your fur babies! The backyard is fully fenced and there is a dog park close by! We have a spacious house that your pup is free to roam. The backyard is medium sized, safe and well enforced. We have a safe quiet neighborhood that is excellent for long walks, and the dog park is only three minutes down the road!

About: I’ve cared for dogs in every stage of life, from a 6-year-old rescue to puppies I raised and trained myself. My dogs are housebroken and crate trained, and I’m comfortable reinforcing structure and routines. I’ve also provided overnight care for large dogs with specific medication needs and frequent walk schedules, so I understand the importance of consistency and attention to detail. I’m patient, calm, and respectful of each dog’s personality. My goal is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m flexible and able to plan my day around scheduled walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays. I’m organized and punctual, so I make sure pets are fed, walked, and cared for on time, especially when they’re used to a consistent routine. Since I provide care in my client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication, crate use, and household rules. For walks and drop-ins, I prioritize leash safety, secure doors and gates, and make sure pets have fresh water and a calm environment before I leave. During overnight stays, I maintain their normal routine to reduce stress and keep them feeling safe while their owner is away.

About: My goal is to make sure your babies feel safe and genuinely cared for while you’re away so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing they’re in loving hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a college student with a highly flexible schedule, I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I plan my days around their needs whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply keeping them company. It’s important to me make sure every pet feels loved and attended to while their family is away. I carefully follow each pet’s usual routine including feeding schedules, exercise, medication, and any special instructions to help keep their experience as stress-free as possible. I have a dog-friendly yard for outdoor time with plenty of space for crates, cages, or litter boxes if needed. I have multiple rooms available in my home for pets who may need a quiet separate space to gradually get comfortable before interacting with other pets or exploring the home. I understand that every animal adjusts differently, so I’m happy to accommodate their individual needs and personality to help them feel secure. I routinely send photo updates for peace of mind!

I’m super friendly and great with animals I am currently not working and decided to pick this up because I lost my father recently and felt like this was a good starting point for getting out of the house. I have complete open availability I am very good at following any instructions placed for your animals and am always respectful of others homes. I also really like to clean so I will always clean up after animals and myself
