Throw Me A Bone has been Charlie's dog sitter since early 2023. Charlie is my handsome, loving,…read moresenior male Chihuahua whom I adopted when he was 8 y/o in 2017. 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.

There's something special about Liz and John (and their team) at Snagglefoot. We've been using them…read morefor years, and they take wonderful care of our 3 dogs - the dogs are so calm and in such good spirits when we return it's like we never left. They truly treat your pets like family! It's easy to talk about the great service Snagglefoot provides when things go well. Where they really set themselves apart, however, is when things go wrong, as they did on our recent weekend away. One of our dogs got desperately sick with a gastrointestinal issue, and I cannot say enough positive things about how Liz, John, and Denise (that day's sitter) handled the situation. It was truly above and beyond! When the dog sitter calls and you're 6 hours away, it's an uneasy feeling. But Liz has such a kindness about her - and a sense of humor! She puts your worries at ease, demonstrates a willingness to help, and does so with patience and concern for your pet. We are so thankful for Denise who first found the disaster, cleaned the initial mess, calmed the sick and stressed-out dog, while still managing to take good care of the other two. We are also incredibly thankful for Liz and John, who arrived soon after to assess the situation. When she called me, Liz immediately offered to take the sick dog to the vet (at 4pm on a Friday). She then administered the first round of medications and rearranged her Snagglefoot schedule so she could stay overnight at our home. It meant so much to us that she'd be available if the dog continued to be sick overnight and to administer the next round of meds in the morning. It also meant a lot that Liz and John cleaned around the house *again* prior to our arriving back home the following night. I whole-heartedly recommend Snagglefoot for your pet-sitting needs! On any given normal visit, you will sense how much they love getting to know your animals. And on those rare occasions when things don't go as planned, you can take comfort in knowing that Liz and John will care for your pets as if they were their own.

However, the staff did a home visit before the trip, showing how comfortable they truly are with animals. 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

Extremely unprofessional…read more.. I went with this company for several reason. The two most important being the price and the fact it is veteran owned. Two weeks ago, was my first encounter with them. The appointment was changed 4 times without a request from me. They have a cancellation policy requiring the client to give 24 hours notice. That seems a bit unfair since they give no more than a 20 minute notice by email. My first appointment was changed 3 times and todays appointment was changed 4 times, by email. I've been sitting here all day waiting. I'm sure I can find another company who will offer a military discount. I would be willing to pay a bit more for someone to actually show up. Please don't waste you time hiring this company. .

Extremely unprofessional. Booked service online. Preston was scheduled to come for service,…read morecancelled 20 minutes before service time online in their system. Not until I checked my email was I informed of this ( we had already been in contact through text). He then rescheduled for the next day at a completely different time without ever personally communicating with me. If I'm not in a good location for you OK! If the time I selected doesn't work for you OK! My biggest thing, COMMUNICATION IS KEY!! we could have gone our separate ways with no hard feelings but my time was wasted 2 days in a row. (He also didn't show up for his own rescheduled appointment time) You also have my financial information for no reason. Extremely sketchy as a small business move. Please try and improve your communication and customer service.

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.

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.

They are the very best!

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.
