Dog Walking Vistas Of Encino Park

About: I grew up with all types of different pets in the household from dogs to guinea pigs to birds and even shrimp! So, naturally, I came to love for all animals! Loving them means to also care for them, so I had to provide care for each animal making sure they were properly fed, cleaned, and had a safe environment to sleep. What you can expect from me: * Quick responses * Reliable scheduling * Updates/photos during visits * Respect for your home and routine I currently work part time and go to school full time, but I still have plenty of time to dedicate to the loved animals of San Antonio. I promise to provide the absolute best care to your pets and to your homes. I will make sure your pets are kept safe and properly cared for. I also walk my dogs all the time, so I know proper handling and care when walking a dog.

“Russell is always on time and the moment my puppies met him they loved him! He’s accommodating to requests and always makes sure to let me know any changes. I’m happy to have him as the regular walker for my pups!”

About: I've lived on a small farm since I was 10 where I've bathed, fed, and cared for multiple dogs, cats, chickens, goats and a bunny. Including puppies and kittens. Friends and family have relied on me to pet sit, provide grooming, medications, walks, and feed their pets. Often times stray animals will make their way into our yard and if they are injured, I'll care for them, feed them and foster them until I can identify their owners. I love all animals and consider each and every one of my pets as family. I am available during the morning and evenings on the weekdays, weekends, and on most holidays to care for your fur baby! At minimum, I spend an hour each visit to ensure your pet(s) are fed, clean, has had time to play and overall gets plenty of love and attention. In your home, I respect and take care of the home and pet(s) as if they were my own. I create a fun, safe and comfortable space for both the owner and pet(s) as I continuously provide updates and/or photos of the pet(s) to the owners during each visit. Depending on the rules from the pet owner, at night I will ensure the pet(s) do get crated and are inside and safe for bedtime and dinner.

“Samantha is very responsible and careful about her communication. You can tell a real love of animals and people are at the root of her choice to do dog walking. I think you will appreciate her services.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life—growing up with big dogs and now sharing my home with three little ones of my own. I genuinely love caring for dogs and spending time with them—it’s second nature to me. One of my favorite things is seeing how excited and happy dogs get when it’s time for a walk! I also have experience giving medication, including pills, thanks to my schnauzer who has allergies. Whether it’s a quick visit or a fun stroll around the neighborhood, I’m here to give your pup the love and attention they deserve. I’m retired Air Force and loving this chance to spend more time with the animals I adore. I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits during late mornings, lunch hours, and early afternoons on weekdays. Weekends are a bit more limited, but I’m still happy to help when I can! Whether your pup needs a midday walk, a quick potty break, or some one-on-one attention, I’m here to make their day a little brighter. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. As a dog owner with a lively pack of three, I’m very experienced in managing multiple dogs and understanding different personalities and energy levels. I take the responsibility of caring for your pet seriously—whether it’s a solo visit or a group walk. I always follow your instructions, practice safe leash handling, and make sure every pet feels calm, loved, and secure. You’ll get regular updates, photos, and the peace of mind that your furry friend is in experienced, caring hands.

“Nashira was quick to respond at the last minute to walk my sweet doggie and even came a day early to meet her! Very much appreciated. I will definitely contact her again!”

“Here's the thing...Mandy is awesome! She wanted to do a Meet and Greet with our pup, before setting up a walking appointment. Our Border Collie is a shy girl when it comes to strangers. Mandy came in and sat on the floor, being patient and letting our dog come to her. After maybe 2 minutes our pup was best friends with her lol. Our pup kept getting Mandy to play tug, and throw her toy. It was so funny and cute. She didn't want to just take our money. She wanted to make sure she was a good fit for our dog, before committing to a walk. That's pretty cool. After taking our pup on a walk she always makes sure there's water in the bowl before she leaves. Mandy is very organized and professional! I would 100% recommend her.”

About: ⭐️20+ years experience as a fur mom ⭐️Drops ins and walks available ⭐️Flexible schedule ⭐️Love Photography so expect photo updates I was a fur mom for over 20 years. Daisy, my Pomeranian, lived to 15½. Max, my Shepherd/Husky mix, lived to 15. Callie, my tripod Calico cat, lived to 19½. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, and I would love the opportunity to care for yours while you’re away. I understand how stressful it can feel to leave your pets with someone else, and my goal is to provide loving, reliable care that gives you peace of mind. I also enjoy photography and love capturing sweet moments, so you can expect plenty of photos and updates to help you feel connected and reassured while you’re away from your furry family members. After booking, I send each family my Daisy Moments Welcome Guide and Client Questionnaire so I can learn your pet’s routines, preferences, and favorite comforts. 🌼 I have a flexible schedule and enjoy working with pet parents to find visit times that work best for everyone. While I occasionally have appointments, I am generally available throughout the day and early evening. As a pet owner for over 20 years, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care. I strive to create a calm, loving environment where pets feel safe and comfortable while maintaining the routines they’re used to. I am attentive, reliable, and detail-oriented, and I will always follow your instructions carefully. You’ll receive updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is being cared for and loved while you’re away.

“Yaretzi is wonderful. She’s a great communicator, punctual and so great with our Australian Shepherd, Sadie. She can get very excited for her walk and Yaretzi handles it with such patience. Highly recommended her!”

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: I’ve been around dogs my entire life. I have helped to train my grandparents farm dogs, watched neighbors/ friends dogs and served at pet shelters. I love being outdoors walking with a friend. I am currently waiting to be sent off for the army and in the mean time I work at a rock climbing gym. I have weekends off and flexible work hours during the week. I had a black lab for 14 years before he recently passed away. I would walk him every day and make sure he was living his best life. I hope I can do the same for your best friend

About: Although I’m new to Rover, I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for dogs through friends, family, and my own crazy pup. I’ve cared for dogs with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels, making sure they stay comfortable, active, and on their normal routine. I understand how important consistency is for dogs, so I carefully follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, medication (when needed), potty breaks, playtime, and any special care. I also know that leaving your pet with someone else requires trust, which is why I prioritize communication by providing regular updates and photos throughout every visit. Living in Texas means I always keep the weather in mind when caring for dogs. During especially hot days, I focus on safe ways for pets to stay active and comfortable. I’m an active person who enjoys spending time outdoors, so energetic dogs will always get plenty of exercise, while calmer dogs will receive the patience and attention they need. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with company, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for until you’re back home. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy making time for in my weekly routine. At the moment, I have open availability until my college classes begin on August 20. Once classes start, I’ll continue offering flexible scheduling around my school and work commitments, with availability on my days off as well as before or after shifts. I keep my Rover calendar up to date and only accept bookings I know I can fully commit to, so every pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. I provide a safe, caring, and comfortable environment where every pet can feel at home. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can get exercise, play, and enjoy outdoor time while being supervised. I also have a loving and friendly 6-month-old Belgian Malinois/German Shepherd mix who enjoys playing and socializing with other dogs. I always make sure introductions are done properly and that every dog feels comfortable. I do have a pool area at my home, but it is not used for pet activities and I always supervise pets closely to make sure they stay safe and do not access the pool. Whether caring for pets in my home or visiting a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their routines, providing attention, and creating a safe, positive experience.

About: Hi! I’ve grown up with multiple pets my whole life and have always had a huge love for animals. I’m very familiar with a wide variety of breeds and personalities — from giant dogs like Irish Wolfhounds to tiny pups like Chihuahuas. No matter the size or breed, I’m passionate about making every dog feel safe, comfortable, and especially loved while in my care. I understand that pets are family, and I would care for your furry babies the same way I would want someone to care for mine — with patience, attention, love, and plenty of affection. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel completely comfortable and at ease while you’re away! Pet care is a huge part of my everyday life. I have a super sweet German Shepherd mix who loves other dogs, so caring for pets naturally fits into my daily routine through walks, trips to the dog park, playtime, and bringing him along into everyday life as much as possible. I truly love being around animals and making sure they feel active, happy, and loved. I also enjoy volunteering at the Lubbock Animal Shelter because giving back and helping these babies means so much to me. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love doing every day. I always want pets to feel as comfortable, safe, and loved as possible, whether they’re in my home or their own. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, water, feeding on their normal schedule, and lots of affection throughout the day. I also try to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible while their owners are away. In my home, dogs are treated like family. They’re allowed on the furniture, have cozy places to relax and hang out, and get lots of love and attention. I want them to feel at home, comfortable, and cared for the entire time they’re with me.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every breed and personality. With over five years of hands-on pet care experience—including time assisting in a veterinary clinic—I’ve gained valuable skills in reading animal behavior, administering medications, and supporting post-surgical recovery. Friends, neighbors, and family members have trusted me to walk, feed, and care for their pets with both affection and professionalism. Whether it’s energetic puppies or senior dogs needing extra care, I’m prepared and passionate about giving pets the attention they deserve. Im currently working a part time job so the days im off or the time before work or after if working mornings will fit into my schedule perfectly! I like to keep my dogs on a constant schedule, whoever we go on walks I make sure their harness fits right and the pavement is never to hot, even when relaxing I like to make sure their toys are safe and that my pups are always comfortable.

“Trust her with my most precious baby! She is wonderful.”

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs and learned from an early age how to care for them. My dad runs a dog sitting business in Colombia, so I’ve been around all kinds of pups—helping with feeding, walking, and keeping them happy. I bring that same love and attention to every pet I meet. I’m a senior in high school with both late arrival and early dismissal, which means I’m free most mornings, afternoons, and evenings. This flexible schedule gives me plenty of time during the week for walks, drop-ins, and playtime. I’m also available for boarding on weekends, making sure your pets get plenty of love and attention. I have a fenced backyard where your pet can safely play and get fresh air. I can easily crate your dog if needed and will follow your instructions closely to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.
