Lindsey - Pet Sitting & Overnights

My name is Lindsey and when I'm not pet sitting, I work as a Wildlife Caretaker at Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation. I've always loved animals ever since I could remember. It's been my dream and destiny to work with all types of animals. My family and some friends think I'm a little crazy working with animals, especially the exotics. But I say they are just missing out. I've had "pet" snails, lizards, hamsters, fish, rabbits, tortoises, and dogs. My first dog, Nala, was rescued off the street by my dad when I was about 13 years old and she was the love of my life. She was truly my best friend, and will never be replaced. Currently I have two dogs, Chance and Gizmo, who I also rescued and adopted. They are quite the handful but I love them. While I mostly work with wildlife, my heart still melts anytime I see a puppy or kitten. So pet sitting is perfect for me, because I get to spend time with my other loves in life. I hope to one day open my own non-profit for animals in need, wild and domestic.

Taylor - Pet Sitting & Overnights

My name is Taylor and I started working as a pet sitter with Bed & Biscuit in 2013. I started my career with animals while in high school in 2002 at my family's veterinary office. I was a kennel technician, caring for the canine and feline boarders. I quickly fell in love with both our furry patients as well as their owners. Becoming a Veterinary Technician was a natural choice for me, and I continued working in the veterinary field while attending the University of North Texas and after graduation in 2007. From 2003-2009, I gained experience as a Vet Tech in preventative health care, laboratory and diagnostics, dental and surgical services, and emergency veterinary care. While working as a Vet Tech, I was able to pet sit for many of our clients who preferred not to board their animals when they left home. I have experience with a variety of different situations, including families with multiple pets, pets who require medications and/or special diet, puppies and kittens who had to be fed in 2 hour intervals, and even an iguana named ImaJean Threadgoode who loved to play in warm bath water! I know there is a special bond between people and their pets and I want to be sure to always give the highest quality care to your special loved ones. I know it is never easy to leave your pets when you are away! However, as pet sitters, we can always make sure that your pet maintains his or her normal routine and receives plenty of love and care while you're away.

Sunshine - Vacation Visits & Overnights

My name is Sunshine and I love all animals, big and small. I've volunteered at a number of animal organizations, including the Capital Area Humane Society in Columbus, Ohio. I've recently started the process of volunteering at Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation here in Texas. My ultimate life goal is to one day open my own no-kill animal shelter. I have experience with both large and small animals. I'm the mother of two cats and two dogs – a 55 lb mixed breed, and a 150 lb St. Bernard. All of my babies play an important role in my life. My St. Bernard is currently going to school to become a therapy dog. I myself have graduated from the University of the Incarnate Word with both my Bachelors and Masters degree.

Being a pet owner, I understand the importance of keeping a pet's routine the same, and I'm happy to be a part of a team that understands this. We know how important pets are to a family, and I can't wait to start pet sitting yours.

Sarah - Pet Sitting & Daily Dog Walking

Ever since I can remember, I've loved all types of animals. I've volunteered at a local equestrian center and most recently for Animal Care Services. Over the past two years, I've fostered 12 dogs and helped all of them find loving homes. And of course, one of them is still with me because I simply fell in love with him. Fostering animals has been one of the most fulfilling things I've done. In the same manner that I've cared for foster animals, I will lovingly take care of your pets. I know they're a part of your family and they deserve the very best care! I'll give them tender loving care as if they were my own.

Dakota - Pet Sitting & Daily Dog Walking

Hello! My name is Dakota. I started working at Bed & Biscuit Pet Care in 2014. My passion for working with and being around animals began as a child, and has only grown from there. I've been fortunate to have a variety of different pets while growing up - dogs, turtles, fish, guinea pigs, and birds. Since moving to San Antonio in 2012, my husband and I adopted a wonderful rescue dog, Bear. We've also fostered numerous dogs through Animal Control Services and San Antonio Pets Alive, finding each a loving and forever home. I only hope to continue my love for animals as I'm currently attending college to obtain my Vet Assistant certification. I understand how important pets are, and how each is a member of the family. I always take pride in my work and will provide the best care, love, and attention I can while caring for your pets.

Lacy - Pet Sitting, Daily Dog Walking, & Overnights

Hello everyone! I just want to say that it gives me peace knowing that on a daily basis I get the opportunity to walk, play with, and care for pets. When you're living out your passion, it isn't work! I graduated from Texas State University and I really love San Antonio. I'm the proud parent of two Schnauzers (Dani and Bo) and one Yorkie (Rocco). My fur kids make me smile every day, and I'm grateful for the constant love they give. Whether I'm gone for five hours or five minutes, they're just as happy to see me walk through the door. In turn, I give my fur kids unconditional love and attention, and I will assure you that same level of attention will be given to your furry family members as well!

Clare - Daily Dog Walking & Overnights

I absolutely love all animals, it is definitely my passion in life! I went to St. Lawrence University in upstate New York and graduated with a degree in Biology and Environmental Studies. I have a varied experience with animals - from my work in Arkansas at a big cat sanctuary, to working as a Veterinary Technician, and now with my job in animal rescue, working to save the dogs and cats that come into the city animal shelter. I often foster dogs and on my free time I love spending time outdoors whether it be hiking, camping, swimming, or exploring different local towns in the area! Pet sitting is a natural fit for me and it's so rewarding to take to care of others' pets, and making sure they are comfortable and happy until you get home!

Vicki - Dog Walking

I'm Vicki, and I've always loved meeting new furry friends. After moving to Texas, I decided to do something that I truly enjoy - working with pets. I believe all of our pets truly become family members and we should be willing to improve their quality of life whenever possible. My husband and I have two rescue dogs at home: Jaeger (a German Shepherd) and Logan (a Dachshund), so I understand how important your pets are to you too. I'm so happy to be a part of Bed & Biscuit Pet Care and have the opportunity to help care for your fur babies.

I have three dogs: Sandy is a 14 year old Labrador mix, Cassie is a 8 year old Papillon mix, and Harley is a 6 year old terrier mix. I love all of them and treat them like they are my children. The unconditional love that all animals provide us with is a huge reason why I return the favor to them, and it gives me so much joy to be able to do so as a job.

Jonathan - Dog Walking & Pet Sitting

Hello, my name is Jonathan! I was raised with (and partly by) dogs, and have been a cat owner since 2005. My relationship with Bed & Biscuit Pet Care started a little over a year ago when I hired them to look after my cat, Tupac. At that time, I was working in the oil field and spent the better part of each month in West Texas. In March of 2016, I was laid off from my job, but it wasn't long before Bed & Biscuit Pet Care offered to "adopt" me as a pet sitter and a dog walker. This opportunity has been perfect for me. As a lifelong pet owner, I have accumulated approximately 25 years of experience with dogs and roughly 10 years of experience with cats. I love animals, and consider myself to be both a "dog person" and a "cat person." Whatever their size, shape, breed, or species might be, I can assure you that your furry companions will be in the best of hands while under my care.

Heather - Dog Walking & Pet Sitting

Hello, I'm Heather. I graduated from the University of Texas at San Antonio. Before joining Bed & Biscuit Pet Care in 2016, I worked as a Vet Tech, a Leasing Manager, and a Special Services Coordinator at the Culinary Institute of America. I consider myself a foodie as well as a passionate photographer and musician. Animals have also been a big part of my life, of course. My husband and I currently have two miniature long-haired dachshunds, Shorty and Thor. As a pet owner, I understand that pets who are well-loved bring balance and happiness to their owners' lives. They're an important part of your family, and I truly enjoy being able to provide the care they deserve. Your pets will be in good hands, and I look forward to meeting them!

Mandy - Pet Sitting

My name is Mandy, and as you might of guessed I love animals. My passion is to take care of animals of all kinds. I was a groomer for 8 years and loved it. I wanted to learn more about animals, though, so I decided to work at a veterinary hospital. I am now a veterinary assistant and will soon be training to become a vet tech. I have 3 babies of my own - a Boston terrier named Wednesday, a Chihuahua named Halo, and a hedgehog named Bam Bam. I am looking forward to being your pet's new best friend.

Katie - Dog Walking and Pet Sitting

Hi, my name is Katie. I'm originally from Chicago and I've been a huge animal lover my whole life. I donate food to animal shelters, help out with the San Antonio Feral Cat Coalition, and I also feed feral cat colonies. I've owned dogs all my life, and I've recently taken in a few cats as well! I have a huge soft spot for animals, and I think being a pet owner is one of the most rewarding experiences you can have in life. Some of my other passions are holistic medicine, being environmentally friendly, and supporting organic local farmers markets. I treat your pets as if they are my own, and always look forward to meeting each unique pet!

Jerry - Cat Sitting

Hi, my name is Jerry. I grew up in Miami and served in the US Navy. My family always had dogs or cats, and I was an animal lover from a very early age. While living in my first apartment I adopted a puppy. I loved that dog for 15 wonderful years. When he passed, I was devastated. Within a few months, however, a kitten began showing up on my doorstep every night. I fed her and noticed that every morning she would be sleeping in a makeshift bed I had made for her. She had no collar or ID of any kind, and after a week went by I realized she probably had no owner. So I decided to take her in. From that moment on, I knew I had found my forever friend. Shortly after that I got another kitten, and my love of cats grew stronger by the day. That was almost 25 years ago. Since then, I've had as many as eight cats at one time. I now have two and I love them to death. I couldn't imagine life without them. I've always been a passionate animal lover, but cats hold a special place in my heart. I've fed many feral colonies through the years, and even adopted some of them from time to time. When I joined the team at Just Fur A While, I knew I found my place taking care of the sweet cats that are part of our clients' families. I can assure you that your kitties will be as well cared-for as my own.

Hailee - Dog Walking and Pet Sitting

My name is Hailee and I'm a huge animal lover! I've grown up around dogs my whole life, and seen just about every personality out there.

I was born in Arizona, and previously lived in North Carolina, before moving to San Antonio in 2017. Currently, I attend San Antonio College and hope to pursue a degree in the arts. I am looking forward to being able to spend my time caring for people's pets and giving them the love they deserve!

Hello, my name is Courtney. I'm from a small town in Alabama, close to Mobile. I recently moved to San Antonio in April 2019.

I've always had a love for all animals, and at one point considered pursuing a career as a vetinarian. Currently, I'm a rural mail carrier in Marion, just northeast of San Antonio. Some of my other hobbies include baking, and D&D. I am extremely excited to not only learn more about this amazing city I moved to, but to also give your pets the utmost care and attention while you're away.

Monica - Dog Walking and Pet Sitting

Hi there! My name is Monica. I recently just moved to Texas from North Dakota. I currently own a 1 year old English Cream Golden Retriever named Rylee. My love for dogs started when my parents got me my first dog at the age of 5. Since then, I've grown up with many dogs and cats. I previously worked at a ranch during high school caring for livestock, and also volunteered at a no-kill shelter. Aside from my job, I would care for dogs and provide boarding, feeding, grooming, walking, and of course play time! I love all animals and think they're such an important part of any family. Each pet has their own personality and style, and through my experience I've learned how to adapt to exactly what a pet needs and wants. I hope to give you peace of mind knowing your furry friends will be in good hands being loved and adored!

It wasn't long before I ended up also fostering Emery's mom and her entire litter! In July of 2022, I welcomed another member of the family--a baby boy!
