And am going to recommend her to all my friends!”

“My cat loves Marla, and I love that Marla is very attentive and on top of things. I have to travel a lot these days due to family circumstances, so this is a blessing. It's great to come home to find my cat is not desperate or distressed the way she has sometimes been when she had other sitters. She's a really social and smart/active cat who needs more than the bare minimum food and water that might work for some other cats. I'm thankful to have found someone who gives her the mental stimulation and affection she needs.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Oxbow
“Cecilia was such an amazing doggie sitter who did an excellent job of taking care of my Codey! She was cordial and a good communicator. She gave me periodic updates with a video and plenty of photos.”
“Christopher sensed my hesitation from day 1 and he reassured me that Zeno would be in the right hands. He certainly was. Christophers professionalism and kindness made for a great week for Zeno. He provided regular updates and made sure that Zeno had everything he needed, food, water, trips outside. Would definitely highly recommend him!”
“Hector was phenomenal in caring for our very large baby, who gets anxious when first departing from us. She was wonderfully cared for and it was incredibly easy to get in and out for drop off and pick up.”
“Candace is AMAZING with my 6 month old pup. This is the second time this week he's stayed with her and he comes back home so happy and smelling so good and clean!! She also keeps me updated with msgs and pics on how he's doing throughout the day. Very thankful we found her.”
“Honey had an amazing time. She was well taken care of and happy. I recieved multiple updates throughout the entire day letting me know she was doing well. She had all the attention and breaks she needed. All of the family and dogs were very welcoming which made Honey's first stay away from home even more successful. In just one visit this has become Honey's second home. Breanna and her family make sure all dogs needs are met and go above and beyond to ensure the dogs are happy and owners are at ease with updates. Honey will be back and I would recommend Breanna and her family to anyone looking for daycare or even a long stay.”
“Sabrina did a great job taking care of Prince. Everything went smoothly, and my dog was well looked after and comfortable. Communication was clear, and I appreciated knowing my dog was in good hands. I’d definitely be happy to use her again and would recommend Sabrina to others!”
“We requested a day care and my dog got the best fun day ever. She was taken to her 1st puppy birthday party! ? Lauren kept us well informed about our dog. She sent a lot of videos and pics. 100% recommended! If she is available next time we come to San Antonio, definitely we will contact her again ?”
“Sarah was an amazing pet sitter for my bulldog, Canelo! She was quick to respond, very courteous, and incredibly responsible. I felt at ease knowing my pup was in such caring hands. I highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable sitter!”
“Lola had a wonderful day with Karen. She treated Lola just like family, giving her so much love, affection, and attention. Karen was able to send updates and pictures of Lola throughout the day. I know Karen will be my first go-to person to care for my little angel. I recommend Karen wholeheartedly! She’s wonderful!”
“Megan and her husband are fantastic! We left our one-year-old puppy in their care, and he had the best time. They treated him as if he were their own. Their flexibility with drop-off and pick-up schedules was incredibly accommodating. What we appreciated most was their decision to board only one or two dogs at a time, rather than a whole kennel.”
“Snehal and Vivek were wonderful caregivers to our cat Happy and dog Nico! Their family is so full of love and we knew immediately our babies would be in excellent hands. I was so grateful to receive pictures and videos very often throughout the day and for how responsive they were to our babies’ needs. I would definitely recommend this wonderful family!”
About: I’ve had a dog in my home almost every day of my very long life! I have assisted my housemate in caring for dogs both in and out of our home for the last five years.

I always follow the owner’s instructions closely and make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for.

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Oxbow
About: I grew up with pets as part of my family, which taught me from an early age how to care for them with patience, consistency, and respect. Being around dogs and cats my whole life helped me learn how to read their body language, understand their routines, and respond to their individual needs, whether that means playtime, quiet companionship, or extra reassurance. Pet care fits naturally into my routine as I’m currently focusing on personal growth and beginning a new chapter in my life. This gives me wide availability and flexibility to dedicate quality time and attention to pet sitting. I’m able to prioritize consistent visits, unhurried care, and being fully present with each pet, ensuring they receive the attention, comfort, and reliability they deserve. I focus on providing calm, attentive care that keeps pets comfortable in their own environment. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s established routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of affection. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level, making adjustments to ensure they feel safe and at ease while their owner is away. Cleanliness, consistency, and clear communication are important to me, and I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I would my own.
“I can’t recommend Keishli highly enough! She was absolutely amazing with my dog—kind, patient, and attentive. My pup came back happy, well-exercised, and clearly comfortable with her. She was punctual, communicative, and genuinely cared about my dog’s well-being. I’ll definitely be booking her again!”
“Quinten always does PERFECT with my dog. I unexpectedly had to stay at work late, I messaged Quinten asking if he can walk Max and he immediately responded & came to walk him. He takes the best pictures of him during there walks as well. I will always recommend & trust Quinten to walk Max when no one is home to do so.”
“Andres was awesome and very polite! Excellent communication with both Ryan and Andres, showed up right on time and was great with my very energetic Husky and was able to tire him out enough for him to relax in his kennel for a couple of hrs until I returned home. He took the cutest pictures of him too while on their walk, which I appreciate so much. 🥹 I felt very comfortable leaving my pup with him and hoping to be able to book w him again!”
About: I have 10+ years of dog experience, including helping with labor and delivery twice! I currently do not own any pets, so your fur baby will have my fullest attention! I enjoy playing with, talking to, and loving on all dogs! In the past I have helped clients at their own homes. I have a flexible schedule, and enjoy taking dogs on walks. I do work part-time so my schedule is more flexible. I have flexible hours with my job so I am able to drop by your pup’s home almost anytime! I love to give your dog some love and play time with my fullest attention!
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 8 years old, and my love for them has only grown stronger over the years! My most recent dog, Mila, was a huge part of my life. She had several special needs, so I know firsthand how important it is to have someone you trust when it comes to your pet’s care. Mila taught me so much about patience, attentiveness, and unconditional love, and I carry that with me in how I care for every dog I meet. I’ve had experience caring for dogs of all ages and needs. Whether your dog needs a strict routine, medication, extra potty breaks, or just lots of snuggles, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home! My husband and I both work from home, so your pet will have plenty of attention, supervision, and cuddles! We will make sure they feel safe and loved throughout the day. We have a fully fenced yard for safe play! There is also a designated ‘Dog Lounge’ for when your dog wants some alone time to take a nap or look out the window. I'm happy to follow any specific instructions to match your dog’s routine and needs, ensuring a safe, stress free stay.
About: As a dog "Mama" I know how important it is for our "children" to be safe,loved and happy. I provide a fun, interactive, safe and relaxing environment for your Pup.

Max is the resident 13 month old Catahoula. He has been raised with lots of other dogs and lots of visits to the dog park (he hands out kisses to everyone ). Currently he is 30 lbs. and is full grown. We have two cats who don't mind dogs too much LOL. Both were raised with dogs,
