When you trust someone with your pets, you are trusting them with family. Most pet parents spend a lot of time researching reviews, checking availability, and looking at pricing when hiring a pet sitter. However, one thing that often gets overlooked is professional safety training. At Paw Time Favorite Pet Sitting, we truly believe hiring a Cat & Dog First Aid and CPR Certified pet sitter matters more than many people realize. Emergencies are unpredictable, and while no one e

The New World screwworm has officially arrived in Texas, with confirmed cases less than 100 miles from San Antonio. This flesh-eating parasite targets open wounds on pets, livestock, and wildlife, and can become life-threatening within days if untreated. As a pet owner, now is the time to check your animals daily and contact your vet immediately if anything looks off. At Paw Time Favorite Pet Sitting, we're staying informed and watching closely for your pets.

When summer arrives in San Antonio, one of the biggest hidden dangers for pets is hot pavement. Many pet parents do not realize how quickly sidewalks, asphalt, and roads heat up under the Texas sun.

How Busy Schedules Affect Pets in San Antonio As professional pet sitters and dog walkers in San Antonio, we often see pets become clingier when their routines change.

Bringing home a new puppy is exciting, adorable, and sometimes completely overwhelming. One minute you're taking cute photos, and the next you're cleaning up accidents, replacing chewed shoes, and wondering why your puppy has endless energy at 3:00 AM. If you're feeling exhausted, you're not alone. The good news is that most puppy behavior problems are not caused by a "bad puppy." They are often the result of a puppy who needs more structure, exercise, mental stimulation, and

When life gets busy, finding reliable pet care quickly becomes a priority. Whether you're facing an unexpected work trip, a long day at work, or planning a vacation, many pet owners find themselves comparing professional pet sitting services with app-based platforms like Rover and Wag. At first glance, app-based pet care can seem like the obvious choice. The convenience is appealing, prices may appear lower, and booking can often be done in just a few clicks. But when it come

You know the scene: you’re out walking your dog, trying to get in a good brisk loop around the neighborhood, when suddenly they slam on the brakes. Nose down, tail wagging like a metronome, completely lost in whatever fascinating message is written on that patch of grass or lamppost. You tug gently on the leash, “Come on, buddy, let’s keep moving,” but they’re not budging. Sound familiar? Here’s the truth a lot of us miss: those sniff stops aren’t your dog being stubborn. The

The pet care industry just reached an exciting milestone.
