It can be a challenge to find a sitter to come to the northwest/Hill Country part of San Antonio, but TMAB makes it happen! Before the first visit or prior to traveling, I can schedule a meet-and-greet. As a Chihuahua and a rescue, it takes a while for Charlie to warm up to new faces. Jessica, the owner, ensures that the sitters are a match for him. They quickly learn his personality and routine. They are caring, responsive and trustworthy. Vivian has been with TMAB for a long time and now seeing Charlie. I appreciate receiving updates and photos from their quality time after each visit. It makes me feel secure, content and less guilty leaving for work during the day. Sir Charles is preparing to share his castle with his new little fur sister. Stay tuned!

First time was a great time!…read more We booked Theresa for a small weekend getaway and she visited our two pups four times a day. Every time she visited the house, she gave a full report. The dogs responded so well to her and it was a great feeling knowing that someone reliable was coming to take them on walks, feed them, and check on them. We will use Throw Me A Bone very soon in the near future.

While away, we got "pawgress" reports after ever visit not only written out in full detail, but also pictures of the cats, the house, the refilled food and even the cleaned litter boxes. We so appreciate Hector and the whole team for such attention to detail. If you need a pet sitter, this is the way to go

Metro Pup stands out from the pack as hands-down the best dog walkers we have ever had in our 3…read moreyears in San Antonio (or elsewhere for that matter). From the first meet and greet session, we knew our dog Ghost was going to be fast friends with Gerrit. Every day, Ghost waited eagerly by the door for his buddy to arrive for their daily walk. Gerrit always treated Ghost like family, giving him the time he needed to sniff the flowers, a treat when he returned, a clean water bowl, and lots of belly scratches. After the walk, we would always receive a nice little summary of the walk accompanied by awesome photos (examples below). In the rare instance Gerrit couldn't be there, Eric and the rest of the MetroPup team could be counted on to fill in. Never did we have to scramble to find a last-minute walker or worry about putting our pup in the hands of a complete stranger. The app they use (Time To Pet) makes scheduling appointments, communicating with the team, and receiving photos of the walk a breeze. I have absolutely zero hesitation in recommending Metro Pup to anyone who needs a dog walker in San Antonio. As we move away, I know that Ghost is going to miss his buddy and we will miss the peace of mind that Metro Pup provided.

I love Metro Pup! And so does my dog, Shadow, and my three birdies. I never worry when I'm away…read morebecause I know that Metro Pup is the pinnacle of professionalism and attentive care. Gerrit is such a natural with my feathered family (and they are a finicky bunch)! Finally, I love that my pets get to stay in the familiarity of home and have the care come to them. The sitters can even stay overnight to calm anxious pets! Detailed notes and pics are provided at every single visit via their mobile app! I give Metro Pup my very highest endorsement. They are the very best!

This was our first experience with Christine and Happy Paws and I was naturally a little apprehensive about a new sitter for Little Gray. I should not have been! Christine was a great care giver for our cat! Christine gave her all the love and care I would have, had we been home. All of our expectations concerning the watering , feeding and attention that Little Gray needed were exceeded! She helped manage the house while we were gone and kept all her appointments on time. Christine played with Little Gray and gave her lots of attention. Christine took photos of Little Gray and texted them to me. Very professional! I recommend her highly and give her 5/5 stars. Will use her again when we go out of town.

Mr. Clyde is a 70lb pit/boxer/shepherd who is a sweetheart, absolutely gentle and almost maternal…read morewith itty bitty foster kittens, and eager to please - but also bouncy, excitable, a super sensitive energy sponge, loves to bear hug, and could probably outpull a Mack truck. Since moving to San Antonio two years ago, he's also increasingly dog reactive, especially on leash. It doesn't help that we were jumped a few times while on walks by loose or stray puppers, and my own history of ptsd, which can make it very hard to stay calm and self regulate for the sake of the delicate flower you're walking with. Anyhoo, I had finally gotten to working with a trainer, we were making progress - and my job started changing my hours/commutes to where I would need to find a dog walker. But I was worried Clyde would rip somebody's arm off or break through a fence or eat some stray dog's face off or who knows what. What I REALLY wanted was a person who did, for lack of a better term, training walks, someone who could check their ego (there's a lot of that in the dog training world) and support the work I was doing with the trainer we were working with. They would have to be strong, calm, consistent, and communicative. Surely this animal did not exist... Matt is all of those things. A freaking dog training walker unicorn. At our first meeting he listened intently, asked appropriate questions, and when we took Mr. Clyde out for a few minutes of "see, this is what he does" and not only didn't get his arm shoulder dislocated, but got Clyde to sit and be pretty calm I let out a huge breath of relief. Matt worked with Clyde pretty regularly for several weeks, and I noticed big changes in him immediately both when I got home and when we went on our walks. It was wonderful to actually start enjoying walking with my dog again. Then my work hours changed once more, and even though Clyde didn't work with Matt as much, he was always happier and more calm the days he did - and I could breathe easy knowing Clyde was in great hands. Matt never flaked on a day he was scheduled, he was attentive to the weather and how it would affect Clyde, then adjust their outings accordingly. Also, recently I lost one of my cats to sudden heart failure, and my other cat (they were adopted together as kittens and never separated before) has been completely distraught any time I leave with Clyde. He would howl and cry so loud I could hear him across the street, and after a week of poor Clyde not getting a proper walk because of poor Blue I was desperate and reached out to Matt, who was able to come that same evening and give Clyde a much needed romp and me a much, much needed break. Now I'm moving several hours from San Antonio, and I'm already very vexed that there will be no more Matt to help with Mr. Clyde :/ If you need a trustworthy, reliable person to train-walk your beast, then I highly recommend Matt.

Kaitlan from Karma Dog came over for a 90 minute private in Home session and before she left Riley already leaned to stop jumping on others. (We were able to actually put her to the test when my husband came home from work. We were both so excited that for the first time in 2 months she wasn't jumping all over him when he walked in!) After the private session I enrolled her into a 7-week group class to help her with her self control and socialization with other dogs and humans. I feel that the tools and techniques Kaitlan shared with me are really going to help us with Riley's training. I'm looking forward to our classes and continuing her positive progress.
