On Paws Professional Pet Services Don't put your pets' lives on pause while you are away! I live in San Marcos with my two daughters and my husband Jonathan. We treat your pets like family.
(20)

Hi, my name is Stephanie and I'm the owner of On Paws Professional Pet Services, a professional pet care services company in San Marcos, TX. We absolutely love living in San Marcos. The community is amazing and there is so much to see and do here. I had wanted to start my own pet sitting and dog walking business for years and when I decided to become a stay at home mom in 2015 I realized it was th

e perfect time. I would be able to combine my love of animals and still be able to spend time with my daughter. The business has grown into the family business and my husband and I both run it along with some help from employees. We want to take care of your pets in your home when you are unable to. We offer daily dog walking, pet sitting, potty breaks, as well as boarding and doggy daycare in our new facility and several other pet care services. We will meet with you to create a custom care plan for your pets. Not only will we treat them like our family, we will care for them like you would. We absolutely love animals and have two dogs, Pepper and Gypsy, and a cat, Tigger. I grew up with dogs and cats all of my life and I had experience as a pet sitter for friends and coworkers off and on for 8 years before starting my business. There are so many benefits to using a pet sitter. Pets are able to stay in their own homes where they are most comfortable which reduces anxiety. Our boarding service is also an excellent alternative as it is stay and play style boarding and the dogs have ample time throughout the day to play with other dogs as well as stretch and rest out of their crates. We have two play yards and three play rooms in our climate controlled facility and each dog has their own private, roomy crate with a bed, blanket and crate cover for a cozy boarding experience. We are insured and bonded through Kennel Pro insurance and we are a member of Pet Sitters International and the Texas Pet Sitters Association. I am CPR and first aid certified and I am a Certified Professional Pet Sitter. Please see our website for more details about services and pricing. www.onpawspetservices.com

At the moment we are serving San Marcos and the surrounding areas within 15 miles of San Marcos. PLEASE BE ADVISED: Since I started this business as a stay at home mom sometimes our daughters may have to join us at visits. We do our best to not bring them, but occasionally it happens. This is a family owned and operated and a family oriented business. They are covered under our liability insurance and we will always keep them by our side and they won't be allowed to wander your home. If we feel there are any concerns for safety at the meet and greet we will not move forward. If this is a concern for you I absolutely understand. I just want to be upfront about that. We can discuss your concerns and see if there is something we can work out if you are uncomfortable with this situation.

Nala, Phinn and GusGus love when we come to visit everyday. Their owners have us come to give them a bathroom break, some time to stretch their legs and give GusGus his special meal along with lots of pets and snuggles during the week while they are at work and school. They are definitely one of the highlights of our day!

Sweet Ernest waits patiently for his treat! We come to see Ernest sometimes during the week when his owners are out for a long time. He loves to show us his backyard when we take him out for his bathroom break and he especially loves all the pets he gets afterward.

UPDATE: Celeste has been tagged for rescue and will leave tomorrow! She's safe! ❤

🚨 FINAL CALL FOR CELESTE 🚨

Celeste's time is running out. This sweet girl has been at the shelter since April and faces a euthanasia deadline by 7PM this Friday, 9/6/2024.

Celeste is a 2-year-old, 56 lb Labrador Retriever mix who is full of life and energy. Known for her zoomies in the yard, she loves to play and is ready for any adventure you can throw at her—whether it’s hiking, beach days, or just running in the park. She’s working on perfecting her leash skills and has had positive interactions with other dogs.

Celeste deserves a second chance, but time is short. Please consider fostering, adopting, or sharing her story.

Today's daily dog walking and midday visit client dog is Apollo. We come to see Apollo and his brother Chevy 3 times a week to let them out for a romp around the yard, a bathroom break and some playtime and cuddles.

🐾Apollo is our sweet and very well-trained superstar! 🐶💙 Apollo loves to play with his brother Chevy, and their bond is heartwarming to watch. 🐕🐾 Between games of fetch and romping around, Apollo enjoys plenty of pets and treats. We're lucky to have such a gentle and playful pup in our pack!

If you've got a dog that needs a little time in the middle of the day to use the bathroom and stretch their legs while you're away at work or school, give us a call and set up a free consultation at 512-214-2596!

We wanted to share a client success story about one of our midday "dog walking" clients. Though we don't technically walk Ava and her siblings we do come and see them Monday through Friday for a bathroom break and some yard time to stretch their legs.

Ava has trouble emptying her bladder on her own due to some neurological issues. Before we started visiting her everyday to help her express her bladder while her dad is at work, Ava would get UTIs quite a lot. Her dad told us that ever since we've been coming she stopped having UTIs because she didn't have to hold her p*e all day.

We wanted to share this story because this is a bit of a unique situation and one you may not think you would need a dog walker for, but that's what On Paws is here for! We help dog parents find solutions for their dogs so they can live their best life.

Not only do we offer 30 minute dog walking visits, we also have 15 and 10 minute visits for those that can't afford a longer visit or who have dogs that don't really need a walk but maybe just a potty break and a little playtime in the yard. We can also give medicine if your pets need it at certain times of the day and you can't do it because you have to work.

If you have a unique situation that your dog needs help with and never thought about using a dog walking service, give us a call to set up your free consultation!

Today's daily dog walking and midday visit client dog is CoCo. We met his brother and sister the past two days. We come see these 3 pups, 3 times a week to help them stretch their legs, use the bathroom and get some one-on-one time so they aren't lonely while their mom and dad are at work.

CoCo is our spirited walker with a bit of a harness aversion! CoCo might put up a fuss when it's time to gear up for our walks, but once we get that harness on, he's all set for adventure. Whether it's a jaunt around the block or a trek through the park, CoCo's enthusiasm is unmatched. We love every moment with this playful pup!

If you've got a pup that could use some socialization and adventures outside of the house while you work or go to class, visit our website at www.onpawspetservices.com for more info! We can't wait to hear from you!

Today's daily dog walking and midday visit client dog is Gene! We met Gene's sister FeFe yesterday and we will meet their brother CoCo tomorrow. We come see these 3 pups, 3 times a week to help them stretch their legs, use the bathroom and get some one-one-one time so they aren't lonely while their mom and dad are at work.

Gene is our distinguished, elderly gentleman! He might not walk far, but he loves his quick strolls down the street and back. A good sniff and a bathroom break make his day complete. We're honored to help Gene enjoy the fresh air and simple pleasures of life, one step at a time.

If you've got an old guy or gal that needs a bathroom break and a quick sniff outside feel free to give us a call for more info or to set up a consultation at 512-214-2596! We can't wait to meet your babies!

Today's daily dog walking and midday visit client dog is FeFe! We visit FeFe and her brothers 3 times a week for a 45-minute visit to help them stretch their legs, use the bathroom and get some one-on-one time so they don't get lonely throughout the day while their mom and dad are at work.

🐾 FeFe is our sweet and shy adventurer! 🐶💕She might be a bit reserved at first, but once we get her harness on and step outside, she transforms into an eager explorer. 🌳🏠 Watching her excitement as she sniffs around the neighborhood and discovers new sights is the highlight of our day. We love seeing FeFe's confidence grow with every walk!

If you would like your dog to have a little break during the day with either a walk or playtime in the yard give us a call at 512-214-2596 for more info or visit our website at www.onpawspetservices.com!

Our Story

Hi, my name is Stephanie and I'm the owner of On Paws Professional Pet Services, a professional pet services company in San Marcos, TX. I live in San Marcos with my daughter Giuliana and my husband Jonathan. We absolutely love living in San Marcos. The community is amazing and there is so much to see and do here. I wanted to start my own pet sitting and dog walking business for years and when I decided to become a stay at home mom in 2015 I realized it was the perfect time. I would be able to combine my love of animals and still be able to spend time with my daughter. We want to take care of your pets in your home when you are unable to. We offer daily dog walking, pet taxi to and from appointments, pet sitting, potty breaks, boarding and doggy daycare in my home as well as several other pet care services. I love animals and have two dogs myself, Buttons and Gypsy. We've also added two cats to our growing family. Our daughter named them MeowMeow and Tigger. We love them all! I grew up with dogs and cats all of my life and I have experience as a pet sitter for friends and coworkers off and on for 8 years before starting my business. I’m a member of Pet Sitters International and the International Boarding and Pet Services Association. I’m also trained in pet CPR and First Aid and I’m a certified professional pet sitter through Pet Sitters International. My team is personally trained by me and they do continuing education through FetchFind, an online platform that we utilize to learn more about caring for animals. We are also insured and bonded through Pet Care Insurance. There are so many benefits to using a pet sitter rather than boarding at a kennel. Pets are able to stay in their own homes where they are most comfortable which reduces anxiety and they aren't susceptible to diseases that could linger in kennels. Boarding in my home is also an excellent alternative to boarding in kennels as I only take a few dogs at a time and they are free to run and play all day when we are here. However, for their own safety they will be kenneled in our spacious garage kennels when we are sleeping or away. No pet will be left alone more than 2 hours in our home. Please see our website for more details about services and pricing. www.onpawspetservices.com At the moment we are serving San Marcos and the surrounding areas within 20 miles of San Marcos. If you are outside that service area we may be able to provide service for a small mileage fee. PLEASE BE ADVISED: Since I started this business as a stay at home mom my daughter is with me most of the time. My team does a lot of the visits for the services that we provide outside of my home, but there are times when I am covering visits. In those instances I may have to bring my daughter along with me on visits or meet and greets. She is covered under my liability insurance and I will always keep her by my side and she won't be allowed to wander your home. She is very well behaved and has grown up with animals all her life. If I feel there are any concerns for safety at the meet and greet we will not move forward. If this is a concern for you I absolutely understand. I just want to be upfront about that. We can discuss your concerns and see if there is something we can work out if you are uncomfortable with this situation.
