About: I have been around dogs and cats since I was young. In high school I moved to a ranch and helped raise animals from horses to peacocks. Most recently, I have experience in healthcare and am comfortable with administering medications to your furry family members. My family moved to San Marcos and ready to open our home to your family. We do have a one year old girl and a baby on the way. So I ask to use your best judgement if your pet will be a good fit with us. My schedule is wide open at the moment, but can change quickly with a little one at home. I will be communicative of when I am not available and work to accommodate everyone. Our home has a good sized fenced yard. We also love to go on walks. If your pet has any favorite toys I would be happy to play until their heart is content.
“So grateful to have found Gabriel and Savannah! So communicative and lots of updates and photos during Charlie’s stay.

He definitely enjoys his time with them and their pup! Thank you both so much.”

“Madilynn was great and communicative. My cats took to her quickly and that doesn’t happen even with ppl they’ve met multiple times! I really appreciate the pics/videos she provided and how she updated me regularly during my trip.

She kept me informed the entire time, cleaned everything up beautifully, and made sure my cat was comfortable and stress-free. She clearly has a genuine love for animals and went above and beyond to make sure my pet was safe, happy, and well cared for. I felt completely at ease knowing my fur baby was in her hands.

About: I fostered my baby girl, Alani, after she fell out of a moving car as a kitten, and was picked up by the head Vet and a clinic I was working at in highschool. Despite my parents original hesitation, she quickly became a member of our family and has been by my side ever since. Along with caring for her daily, I care for the kitties at my current pet boarding job where I’m in charge of their feeding, watering, cleaning, and medicating. As well as boarding care, I also have experience bathing, grooming, and trimming cats nails, as part of my day as a full time groomer. Whatever your kitty needs, I can provide!
“Emeline was so great with my maple, she worked on getting her comfortable the first day and played with my cat until she got tried. She was very great at updating me on my cat and sent me many pictures of her :) I’m so glad my cat got along with her and will be using her services for future dates.”
“Brandy was absolutely wonderful with Mia! She took such great care of her, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing Mia was in such loving and attentive hands.

About: I’m a dependable and caring pet sitter with a lifelong love for animals. I’ve been around animals since I was 5 years old, growing up caring for ranch animals, dogs, cats, and even ferrets. I understand that every animal has its own personality and needs, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I live a very active lifestyle. I’m an avid runner and extremely into fitness, so staying consistent, disciplined, and energetic is already a huge part of who I am. Taking care of animals naturally goes hand in hand with that lifestyle because I genuinely enjoy being outdoors, going on walks, staying active, and keeping pets engaged and happy. I take animal safety and comfort very seriously both inside and outside of my home. I have a fully fenced patio area that provides pets with a secure outdoor space for fresh air, playtime, and exercise while staying safe at all times. I also have two dogs of my own who are very friendly, socialized, and used to being around other animals. However, I understand that every pet has different comfort levels and needs, so my dogs can always be safely crated or separated if necessary to ensure visiting pets feel comfortable and stress-free.
About: I love animals. I've had 2 dogs at all times for the last 22yrs. and a few cats. I live in a large 2 bdrm Apt with my 3 sweet Chihuahuas. I am a dog person and this is a dog house. Plenty of room for a few more to play with. My dogs are friendly. We have a dog park on the property. There are only small dogs here as it is a Senior Living. I will walk your dogs around the complex and they can safely play in dog park area. I'm retired for now and spend all my time with my dogs. Your pet will have all our attention. I am open and flexible to any special request you might have. Can't wait to meet you and your furry friend. I’m a full time dog Mom. When I wake up I am dressed and out the door walking with them. Then we. One home and eat breakfast. Playtime for a few hours inside and we go out again. I am very interactive with my dogs and any dogs I am sitting for. I have a large 2 bedroom apartment without the clutter so they can run around and out on patio. Outside for walks and at the dog playground.
About: Hi! I’m Mirella, a Texas State University student and lifelong animal lover. I’ve owned and cared for pets for over 8 years and have experience caring for animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m currently the proud owner of a cat. I’ve pet-sat for friends with dogs of all sizes and personalities—from Anatolian Shepherds and Pit Bull mixes to Dachshunds and Maltese—and have experience caring for puppies through senior dogs. I’m also comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. Years of caring for animals have taught me patience, responsibility, and confidence working with pets of all temperaments. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I’m committed to providing personalized care that keeps them happy, healthy, and on their normal routine. In my free time, you’ll usually find me running, hiking, or spending the day at the river, so I’m always excited to get outside with energetic pups. Whether your pet enjoys long walks and adventures or prefers relaxing at home, I’m happy to match their pace. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, and I’ll care for them as if they were my own. My schedule is flexible, and I do my best to accommodate each pet parent’s needs.

About: My life has been defined by a deep connection to animals, from growing up in a multi-pet household of dogs and cats to exploring the intricate world of aquarium keeping. This lifelong passion eventually evolved into a professional focus; I am currently a graduate student in Psychology and am personally training my own service dog, Disco. My experience goes beyond basic pet sitting; I understand canine behavior, the importance of positive reinforcement, and the necessity of a calm, structured environment. Whether I’m managing a high-energy dog, a senior pet with a strict medication schedule, or even a delicate aquatic setup, I bring a researcher's attention to detail and a lifelong lover's heart to every home. I’ve spent years caring for the pets of friends and family, and I look forward to providing that same expert, reliable care for your companions. Pet care is the foundation of my daily life. As a service dog handler, I live and breathe animal behavior and routine. My day is built around structured walks, training reinforcement, and clear communication. While I balance my graduate studies and work, my school breaks are dedicated to providing high-quality, attentive care for your pets. Because I am used to the responsibility of a working dog, I bring that same level of discipline and reliability to your pet’s schedule, ensuring they feel secure and cared for in a low-stress, organized environment. I provide a calm, supervised environment where your pet’s safety is the top priority. I am accompanied by my service dog, Disco, who is expertly trained to be neutral and respectful of other animals' space. This often provides a wonderful, stabilizing social environment for the pets I watch. I am meticulous about feeding and exercise schedules, and I am particularly mindful of safety—for example, avoiding noon-day heat to protect paws and prevent overheating. Whether we are in my home or yours, I maintain a 'safety-first' mentality, ensuring all environments are secure and all interactions are positive.
“Alexa does an awesome job! I was hesitant my pit bull lab mix dog would bark at her because he was not familiar with her. But she is so approachable to Jackson and takes great care of him. You can definitely trust her with your fur babies!!”
“Her services were amazing and caring. Kept us communicated timely. We would love to use her service in the future and highly recommend as well. My dog, Yaga, loves Victoria!”

About: Growing up, I often took care of my grandmother’s six dogs, including one of my own. I also helped my aunt raise two puppies she rescued from the side of the road. I became skilled at making sure they were well-fed, clean, and properly cared for. I am a student-athlete so I am busy most of the time during the week at 5am-6:30pm, but I'm available all day during the weekends. When I take care of pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine to help the pets feel safe and happy. I make sure they are fed on time, have fresh water, get bathroom breaks, and have time to play. I also keep the area clean and follow any special instructions, like giving medicine. I like to send updates and photos so the owner knows their pet is doing well.
About: I've cared for animals my entire life and have experience looking after a wide variety of pets. I regularly pet sit for my brother's cats and dogs throughout the year, and I've also cared for my aunt's animals, including her pony and tortoise. I love all animals! Currently school is my only priority! With only one year left my schedule is lighter and classes are more flexible. I have classes throughout the week and can adapt to a pet routine or schedule. I like to stay active, so dog walking is a great way to get my steps in! I have no pets currently! I live in an apartment with a great dog park (fenced in) and have many nature trails behind my apartment I often frequent!
About: Boarding: Hello! My dog, Norman, and I would love to have your beloved fur baby stay with us. I have a large, fenced-in yard with lots of room for playing and running around. I have over 10 years of experience caretaking for pets, and animals are an important part of my life. At this time, I'm only accepting one dog at a time so that I can ensure your pup gets the most care and attention. ***Your dog MUST be on flea meds. I will not take any dog that has fleas. Thanks for understanding.*** We look forward to meeting you! Walking and Drop-ins: I'm attentive & caring, and your dog's safety is my priority. I'll take good care of your pets while you're at work! I'm good at reading and respecting the dog's energy. I know that it can take time to gain a dog's trust, especially as a new person. We can take things slowly if necessary. I work from home, so I'm available the majority of the day. If I leave, it's usually only to run a quick errand. During summer, we would not be outside too long unless you request a river play date. For dog sitting: I have a large, wooden-fenced yard and one small, male neutered dog. He is very friendly + energetic and loves playing with other dogs. Water is always available and plenty of space for relaxing. For walking and drop-ins: Safety is number one priority. Always leashed up and scanning for potential distractions.
About: I truly treat every pet like they’re my own and focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m very attentive to routines, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and giving pets the patience and affection they need to feel relaxed. I currently work a part-time retail job, but I still have a extremely flexible schedule and can be available when needed. Day, night, morning, I am available. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, medications, playtime, and any special instructions carefully so pets feel secure and stress-free while their owner is away. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and exercise, and I keep owners updated with messages and photos

I’ll always follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, administering medications, exercise, and any special requests.

You can expect regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of pets for 8 years. I have helped administer medicine to animals with diabetes. I also have a dog of my own. I am a college student at Texas State and currently have no other job. I am happy to work around my class schedule to provide the upmost care to your pets. I send multiple pictures to the owner of their pets and any activities their pet may engage in. I keep client’s home tidy and look in all rooms with open doors to check for any accidents. I always go outside with pets. On walks I stay on the opposite side of the walkway from other animals or people.
“Due to medical reasons, I'm unable to walk my highly energetic two-year-old Husky mix. Valerie has been coming three times a week to walk Artemis, and she's amazing! Artemis warmed up to her quickly and really looks forward to her visits now. She's always super excited to leave and worn out by the time they get back (at least as much as a Husky can be!). Valerie is always on time and highly communicative, so I never worry when Artemis is with her. I would recommend Valerie ten times over!”
About: I’m a very calm, gentle, and attentive caregiver, and I’m especially good with small dogs, senior pups, and shy or sensitive dogs who need someone patient and soft-spoken. My own dog, a sweet 15-lb Chiweenie mix, has taught me how to read body language, support anxious pups, and create a peaceful, predictable routine. I focus on drop-in visits because I want your dog to stay in the environment where they feel safest. I follow your instructions closely and pay attention to the small details — feeding, medications, special routines, slow sniff-walks, favorite toys, emotional needs, and anything that helps your dog feel secure while you’re away. I’m also very communicative. You’ll get photos, updates, and quick responses, so you always know how your pup is doing. My goal is to give your dog gentle, loving care and give you peace of mind. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so it’s easy for me to make time for drop-in visits throughout the day. I already take my own small dog out regularly for walks, feeding, and attention, and I’m used to structuring my day around pet needs. It’s important to me that animals feel cared for and not rushed, so I plan visits in a way that allows for calm, unhurried attention and plenty of connection. Since I offer drop-in visits, my focus is on caring for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they feel safest. I follow your instructions closely—feeding schedules, medications, potty routines, walk preferences, training cues, and any house rules you want maintained. I’m very mindful of safety: I double-check doors, gates, and harnesses, stay alert on walks, and make sure your pet has fresh water and a calm, comforting presence. I treat your home with respect and leave everything exactly as I found it.
“Blayre has been terrific with our dogs. They both were so excited to see her and loved their walks. She was fantastic with the dogs and she even picked up the yard where the dogs had torn up one of their toys. We highly recommended Blayre for services.”

“It has been wonderful finding Krystal. I used to use Wag, but I don't like getting a different person each walk most of the time. It's nice to be able to use the same person so they get to know your pet(s) and their quirks. Krystal is great with dogs- helpful, intuitive, caring and a genuine animal lover. She will be hearing plenty more from me going forward. My boys love her.”

“Clarice was great with my pup! My poor girl has a bum knee with upcoming surgery and Clarice took exceptional care of Mayzie and didn't let her do too much. Highly recommend and will be booking with her in the future.”
“Julia is the best!!! I received daily pictures, and updates on his activities, and pet friends that he was making. I felt so at ease, and will definitely use her when I need someone to care for Duke❣️”

“Wonderful! I was nervous to leave my Belgian Mal as he has severe separation anxiety. He did amazing with Danielle, settled right in and seemed to enjoy his time. Will happily book with her again!”
“My fiancé and I had to leave for a few days to Houston for her niece’s baptism. Lisa watched our dog, Scout, for us and she did an amazing job. Her dog and Scout got along very well. She has a nice/big backyard that he was able to play in! She made sure to send us updates/photos everyday while we were away, which was so thoughtful and made us feel good knowing he was in good hands. We will definitely be calling Lisa again for sitting!”
“I recommend Edwin and family to anyone! They take such amazing care of my dog, Layla, who is pretty anxious without me. They send photos and make sure she feels at home. I never worry while she stays here!”
“My dog had the best weekend with Nathan! He is truly a dog lover! My dog had much higher expectations of me when she returned home 😂. Nathan is attentive, caring and his home is very welcoming for his guests. We would rebook with him without question!”
About: I have been around dogs and cats since I was young. In high school I moved to a ranch and helped raise animals from horses to peacocks. Most recently, I have experience in healthcare and am comfortable with administering medications to your furry family members. My family moved to San Marcos and ready to open our home to your family. We do have a one year old girl and a baby on the way. So I ask to use your best judgement if your pet will be a good fit with us. My schedule is wide open at the moment, but can change quickly with a little one at home. I will be communicative of when I am not available and work to accommodate everyone. Our home has a good sized fenced yard. We also love to go on walks. If your pet has any favorite toys I would be happy to play until their heart is content.
“Desmond and Robyn were great with our Luna! They sent pics/videos daily. This was our first time using the Rover app. We were pleased with the service we received. We will definitely schedule with Desmond and Robyn again if we need to.”
“Friendly, reliable, and communicative. They followed medication and feeding instructions, sent updates, and walked my pups. I felt confident in their care of my two dogs while I was out of the country.”
“Morgan is absolutely amazing. My dog is always happy to go and I know he’s sad when he leaves. I know gene he’s there he’s treated like family. Morgan also has gone above and beyond to be accommodating to my crazy schedule shifts. Grateful for someone who cares about my dog, as much as I do.”
“Marcel was great! He and his two boys kept Gemma active, and super happy. He sent regular pictures and videos and she looked like she was having a ball. Will definitely be coming back! Thanks Marcel!”
“Maggs was great! My dog, Henry, stayed with Maggs for over a week. He had the best time! Maggs sent us multiple updates and pictures/videos everyday. Henry is a high energy golden retriever and she kept him exercised and entertained the whole time - even when it was muddy outside! Henry loved playing with her pups as well! We will definitely be booking with Maggs again! Five Star!”
“Marie was amazing! Communication was easy, her house and backyard were wonderful and her dog was as sweet as can be. We will definitely be checking if she us available to watch our dog next time we go out of town. Thank again Marie!”
“Sahara treated my little Shadow like she was one of her own and had great communication and sent pictures along the way. Shadow seemed very relaxed when I went and picked her up and wasn't as anxious as she usually is after a stay away.”
