Dog Walking Welfare

“If you’re looking for a compassionate, experienced, and reliable dog sitter, Tanya is the one to call! We have four energetic dogs ranging from 100 pounds to just 25 pounds, and she handles them all with ease. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or keeping them on their best behavior, Tanya goes above and beyond. Having her care for our pups gives us true peace of mind when we travel, knowing they’re in the best hands. We can’t recommend her enough!”

About: Hi! I’m Natalie, a reliable, experienced pet sitter who treats your dogs like my own. I’ve worked with all types of dogs, including high-energy, anxious, and large breeds (I personally have experience with husky/shepherd types). I offer drop-ins, walks, and in-home care where your dogs stay comfortable in their routine. I’m very attentive to behavior, feeding schedules, and exercise needs. You’ll get consistent updates, photos, and peace of mind while you’re away. I know how important trust is when leaving your pets, and I take that seriously. I have a flexible schedule and prioritize making sure pets get consistent care and attention. I’m available for drop-ins and walks daily, with availability in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Weekends are open for boarding or extended care. I plan my day around the pets I’m caring for to ensure they get proper exercise, playtime, and routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I provide a calm, structured environment and closely follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any specific instructions. I have experience reading dog behavior and keeping interactions safe and positive. I can separate pets if needed and ensure a clean, secure space at all times. You’ll also get updates and photos so you feel confident while you’re away.

About: I've grown up with cats and dogs, and currently have 2 cats of my own. I've assisted in petsitting or petwalking jobs on the side for the past few years. I'm currently working part-time on my own schedule, so have a wide variety of time to schedule walks, sitting, etc for pets. I can do weekdays or weekends. Evenings are usually busier for me, but I am able to work around any specific needs! I can take your pet on walks, feed them, play with them, and provide very basic care. Walks and stop-by visits are my most common requests.

“Samantha is amazing beyond words!! Our precious Luna just absolutely love her. Thank you so much for always doing such an awesome, awesome job!!”

About: I am also available for weddings for those that want their pet to be there and to be cared for and handled with no worries! I had my own pet sitting business many years ago with hundreds of clients in my neighborhood, so I am familiar with countless breeds, ages and temperaments. I enjoy the responsibility and trust that my clients have for me to care for their pets. I love meeting new dogs and cats and forming a bond with them! I am a stay at home mom of one older child with plenty of free time to fill with dog walking and pet care. My schedule is flexible. I always strive to keep the same schedule and routine that the pet is accustomed to while the owner is away. I have 3 dogs of my own and understand the importance of wanting them to be as comfortable as possible in my absence.

“Georgia was a delight to work with - caring, considerate, and conscientious. Gidget loved their time together and we will definitely rebook when the opportunity rises. .”

About: I have experience with puppies and old dogs, big dogs and small dogs. Lots of experience with diabetes and critical care pets. I've been a dog owner and lover for over 15 years. I work from home. I’m home almost all of the time so my availability is pretty open. I have a large fenced yard and I live on some property. I also have miles of country roads I can take your pets for a walk! I can also come to you to check in on your dog or take them for a walk. I want to do what it best for you and your pets! I am currently a stay at home mom for my 4 kiddos so my schedule is very flexible! Weekday or weekend I always have availability for furry friends! Travel: My standard rates include locations within approximately 15 minutes of my home base in Bandera. Because I serve a large rural area, a small per-visit travel fee may apply for extended-distance bookings (generally $5 for locations approximately 15–25 minutes away and $10+ for locations 25+ minutes away). Any travel adjustment will always be discussed and agreed upon before booking. I treat my pets like a beloved family member and I will treat yours the same way! They rely on us so I would never let them down!

“Wonderful! Nardo instantly took to her and they played nonstop! Ella is super sweet and professional I definitely recommend and will call on again and again! :)”

About: I highly recommend my son, Jared, as a dog walker on Rover.com. He is extremely responsible, attentive, and loving towards all animals. Jared goes above and beyond to ensure that the pets in his care are happy, healthy, and well-walked. I trust Jared completely with our own precious pets, and I know that he will provide your pets with the same level of care and love that you do. If you are looking for a reliable and compassionate dog walker, look no further than Jared! My son is currently off school and will be giving his full attention towards walking your furry friends. Even when school begins, he will continue to walk your pets as much as he can. Jared is a very responsible and loving pet owner. He makes sure that our precious dog, Luna, is taken care of before he does anything else.

About: I have 30+ years of pet care experience not only with my own pets, but also friends & family that I have taken care of. I am very friendly to all animals and know how to interact with the most timid or aggressive dogs. When I meet a new animal, owners tell me that I must have a sixth sense because the animals never react so well to anyone. I tell the owners that they must know I am a dog lover and enjoy being with animals more than I do people. I work from home so will be with your furry child all day. I have two Black Labs of my own that love everyone! References available upon request.

About: I've grown up around different animals in my home. The most common being dogs with their sizes ranging from a small chihuahua to a large dog who was a mixed breed. Cats were also included in our household, one in particular being quite feisty yet well cared for. Within that household, there were also birds and turtles. I also volunteered at an animal sanctuary for a while so I do have some experience in dealing with the more bizarre kinds of animals as well. I’m currently in the middle of working on my thesis for my master’s degree. Fortunately I’m at a state where my time is quite malleable as long as I’m notified within reason. I did move out of my hometown, so I am currently not caring for any pets which does allow for more free time. As such, I am able to care for most animals at a flexible rate. I can give company to any pet. If necessary, I can help crate them or give other proper care for them. Back home I’ve helped crate and transport my dogs and cat to the vet. When there was thunder one of my dogs was terrified of the sound, so normally we would wrap a blanket or towel around them and hold them to help comfort the little doggy for a while.

About: I have lived around animals for as long as I can remember and I completely adore them. I have a fair amount of experience with dogs the smallest being a choodle (chihuahua+poodle mix) from a puppy to the largest so far being a Pyrenees. By this point I have taken care of both baby animals and senior pets with a lot of experience with keeping up with your pets medication. I also have experience with other animals like sugar gliders, hedgehogs, snakes, fish, chickens and even a horse. I reinforce any commands and training your pets are learning. I'm willing to care for and walk dogs of an even larger size just give me fair warning if your dog is a jumper. Im a little on the short side and just want to be prepared. I currently own a Chinese crested powderpuff named Rogue, and a miniature dachshund named Slade. Also I care for a family of stray cats that might as well be mine at this point. I usually play with animals until they are tired enough without making them exhausted. I usually keep to whatever schedule my clients give me and then some. Feedings, bathroom breaks, play time, walks, cuddles, training reinforcements and loads of pictures. I keep an eye out for just about everything. I want to make sure that both your pets and your house is safe. I'll check for anything that is asked for specifically as well

“My dogs and I look forward to Brooke's walks. They come home happy and tired. Awesome!”

About: I have been caring for animals since I was about 10 years old. Over the years, friends and family have trusted me to care for and walk their beloved pets. I have experience working with animals of all ages, from tiny kittens to playful puppies, and I always strive to provide them with the same love, attention, and care that I would give my own pets. My goal is to ensure every animal feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while in my care. I will be a freshman at UTSA in the fall, so pet care fits well into my schedule. I am available in between classes, and on days when I do not have classes I have even more flexibility to provide dependable care, walks, feeding, and attention for pets. I prioritize the safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet in my care. Whether I am caring for a pet in my client’s home or providing visits throughout the day, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and routines. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable and secure. I also keep a close eye on pets during walks and playtime to ensure they remain safe at all times. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care while giving pet owners peace of mind that their pets are in good hands.

About: I grew up with 3 big dogs who were truly my best friends <3 I loved to take care of them including walking, feeding, and bathing them. I now have a cat and dog of my own who are everything to me. I am currently in between jobs and will have all the time to dedicate to your animals. I have limited availability Sunday-Thursday before 12pm but can work about that if need be. I will fully respect your wishes for your pets as long as it is respectful to your pets. My dog loves her crate and I have an extra crate as well.

I have had dogs and cats in my life since I was 3. I have had 6 dogs and 3 cats total. I’m currently raising my 5th puppy, Toulouse. He will be the fourth dog I’ve trained.

I have three dogs of my own to keep your pup happy while visiting. I can crate if needed and long walks are provided when it’s cool. If in your home I would maintain their routine to the best of my ability.

About: Ever since I was a little girl I have always been around cats or dogs. I even have 4 cats and 2 dogs of my own. Each one of them have their different personalities so I know how it’s like to treat each animal with the care they like. My dream in the future is to have my own pet resort at my own house but first I want and need to experience how each animal work’s differently so I can give them the best care they deserve I am currently available on Mondays Wednesday's Fridays and Saturdays. I would love to book anyone 7 days or plus prior before the date they want. I respect people and their animals. I would care for your animals as if they were my own. My care for your loved ones would be me making sure he/she has enough water and food, go the the bathroom regularly, and practice good habits.

About: I’m a devoted dog owner to two pups and although I am new to Rover I do have experience with dog sitting/ walking for pets outside of my own home! I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and making sure dogs feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I always take the time to give them attention, patience, and care. I treat every dog as if they were my own and aim to create a happy, stress-free experience for both pets and owners. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to care for your pets throughout the week. I’m happy to provide walks, check-ins, and in-home sitting whenever your pet needs attention and companionship. I care for pets in their own homes so they feel safe and comfortable. I always follow all schedules and instructions closely, give lots of attention, and treat both pets and homes with respect.

About: I love any type of dog, and will spend all the time I can with them, young or old. I want all the dogs, but can't afford them. Teacher on holiday break, I have loads of time, and love to spend it with dogs and walking as much as I possibly can to help myself exercise. I follow directions that the owner gives to the best of my ability. I'm recovering from a ruptured ACL, MCL , and torn meniscus surgery, so I love the exercise.
