About Us

 Hello and welcome to On Paws Professional Pet Services! I'm Stephanie, the owner and founder of On Paws, and I'm so glad you're here. If you're looking for professional, dependable pet care in San Marcos, TX, and the surrounding communities, you've come to the right place!

I live in San Marcos with my husband, our two daughters, and our three beloved pets: Pepper and Tater, our two dogs, and Tigger, our cat. Animals have always been an important part of my life, and caring for them has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember.

My professional background is actually in theatre! I have a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre Arts and spent many years working in accounting and purchasing before starting On Paws. Although my career took me in a different direction initially, animals were always a big part of my life. I regularly pet sat for friends and coworkers and eventually realized I wanted to turn that passion into something more.

In 2015, after becoming a stay-at-home mom, I decided it was time to pursue a dream I'd had for several years: starting my own professional pet care business. That's how On Paws Professional Pet Services was born!

What started as a small business has grown into so much more than I ever imagined. On Paws is a locally owned, family-operated business, and my husband and daughters have been an important part of that journey from the very beginning. I'm incredibly grateful for the opportunity to build a business around something I love while creating something meaningful for our family and our community.

As On Paws has grown, so has our team! Today, we're proud to have a wonderful group of dedicated pet care professionals who share our love of animals and commitment to providing exceptional care.

We take the responsibility of caring for your pets seriously, which is why we have a thorough hiring and training process. All team members undergo background checks and a weeklong, hands-on field training program before caring for clients' pets independently. 

Our staff also receives pet first aid and CPR training and participates in continuing education courses to keep their knowledge and skills growing. All employees are covered under our business insurance and bonding.

Whether we're visiting your home for pet sitting or dog walking, welcoming your dog to our daycare, or caring for them during an overnight boarding stay, our entire team is committed to providing safe, loving, and professional care.

I'm incredibly proud of what On Paws has become, and none of it would be possible without the wonderful clients who have trusted us with their pets over the years. We understand that pets are family, and we never take the responsibility of caring for them lightly.

Thank you for supporting our family-owned business and allowing us to be a part of your pets' lives. We look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family members!
