Dog Walking in Kerrville

“She loves our dogs as much as her own. I trust her with my dogs and house. God bless her. A gift to me and my animals”

About: My name is Susan, thank you for your interest in my services! I have been a dog lover my entire life and have had the privilege of being a shelter volunteer, foster, employee and advocate for over fifteen years. I have recently launched my business as a full-time professional dog trainer. I am a member in good standing of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers, and I carry training/sitting/walking insurance as well. I hold a Bachelor of Science in biology, in which I successfully completed a course in animal behavior, as well as a Master of Education. I believe that our canine companions are not only in need of physical exercise, but mental stimulation as well. I would love to talk to you more about ways we can set your dog up for success. The old adage is true- a tired dog is a good dog! I have three dogs of my own (German shepherds) ranging in age from 1 year to 8 years. I am happy to tailor every walk/drop in/pet sitting to the individual needs of your dog or dogs. I have spent years working in public safety, and I understand the importance and responsibility of animal management. You can trust that I will always be vigilant, ensuring your companion is not placed into situations that might be concerning. I understand how difficult it can be to trust someone with your best furry friend, and you can rest assured I will care for them as I would my own. I will follow your instructions without deviation- after all, who knows your pet better than you? I believe in minimally intrusive/aversive training, and I am an avid clicker trainer. If your dogs need a little work in the training department, this is something we can also discuss. I can help with obedience, house manners, and more. Training can be fun, positive, and strengthen the human/canine bond. I have a completely clean background and I believe in honesty, integrity, and I have a strong moral compass. If you hire me to pet sit in your home, you can feel at ease knowing that I would never violate the trust you have placed in me. I am looking forward to hearing from you soon! I have a highly flexible schedule, and I can cater to your pet's needs throughout the day or evening. Overnight stays are available less frequently, please contact me for availability. Safety is my top priority for your pet(s). I am highly cognizant of potential hazards (open doors, loose fence boards, poorly fitted collars/harnesses) and will always check that I have created and maintained a safe environment for them. I will be communicative with you and ensure that I check in and check out, so you have peace of mind that your companion has been thoughtfully cared for.

About: We are a small loving family. We love our kids (1 human, 1 Labrador puppy & 1 cat. Our home is safe and fun. We are sticklers to schedule- our dogs never missed a walk or meal or lots of snuggles- they get treated like family. We have fostered and trained many sick and abused dogs until they were ready to go to their loving forever home. We work full time from home, so your pet will never be alone while here. We are always here to watch after and care for mine and you pets. We Work from home to accommodate play time, walks, and work. We have a fenced yard for play time and a walking trail across from our house. Spacious home to keep cool and play inside. I will separate all pets during feeing time and if a dog does not like cats we can put our cat in a separate room away for the day.

“Megan is a lover of all animals. And not only that, she is knowledgeable about all sorts of animals and breeds. What their temperament might be, what they like to eat, when they play, when they rest. This girl does her research! Your pet is in good hands with Megan”

“Sarah provided great care for our two dogs at her Kerrville home. Our dogs are very different (one young & full of energy and one old who just wants to hang out) and Sarah provided a fun and safe place for them. Both dogs enjoyed the shaded fenced back yard. Sarah sent update pictures of their adventures over the weekend. We will bring our dogs back again because Sarah was such a great sitter.”

“Matthew has helped me with safe and loving care of my foster dogs over the years, and they quickly feel right at home and comfortable with him. From young energetic dogs, special needs and seniors, I wouldn’t hesitate to have Matthew care for any of my pets in my home or at his. Honest, punctual, reliable and trustworthy, I enthusiastically give him five stars and two thumbs / paws up! Cindy”

“Thank you! Fantastic communication! Great dog walker and very caring!”

“Every since I met mya she has always had a profound love for animals! She’s gentle, caring and loving with any animal she meets! She would be absolutely perfect for a job like this!”

“Anna is a tremendous dog owner and caretaker that shows true passion for animals! She goes above and beyond with teaching her dogs new commands and both Luke and Leia are so l trained and get along with our dogs great! Perfect fenced yard is a massive plus, we always feel safe leaving our dogs with them and get plenty of updates!”

“I have known Laura for about 9 years. She absolutely loves dogs and has a special gift with them. I love my animals more than anything and I would trust my friend Laura with each and everyone of them. She is compassionate and she also knows what they need to feel safe, loved and protected. She is also great with training them.”

About: I have had dogs since I was born. I can't imagine a life without them. I have had a pet with health issue as to were I had to give injections periodically, so that shouldn't be an issue. I am currently retired. I have a lot of free time to spend time with your pet and give them exercise and lots of love! At this point I prefer for go to the pets home. I do not have the 9home space at the moment and I feel they are most comfortable in their own environment.

“Hope is amazing. Super fast responder and very accommodating. Our go-to person on Rover.”

“Chris is the best! He is a very responsible and attentive pet owner whom I would absolutely trust with my own animals. I completely recommend him if you need any animal care. He will make sure all your fur babies are well taken care of.”

About: Since I was little I’ve always wanted to make sure that animals were taken care of and I want the best for that dog or cat I’ve got a dog of my own I spoil her she is still kicking today. If your animals are in my care you will expect them to be loved on and they will have lots of fun and I’ll make sure that they get there Exercise they need and all the food and water till there hearts desire. I’ll make sure they are safe and healthy and I’ll play with them till they are done. Me as a person is really nice to pets and I want the best for every dog I come across.

“Lynne has taken care of our small poodle many times in the past ten years. She's wonderful! Not only do we love working with her--she's super reliable, professional, honest and energetic--but our dog Zoe adores her! Lynne goes out of her way to make Zoe feel a part of her family when we are away. I know Zoe has had a good time when she's with Lynne, because she is always reluctant to leave without yet one more good-bye in the driveway. Additionally, Lynne is great about getting in touch with any questions or comments while we are gone. That's a big comfort to us and a clear sign of great care by Lynne. Lynne has my highest recommendation!”

“I called on Abby last minute and was a bit nervous since we didn’t get to meet before she met Lacey on her own. Abby still agrees to go meet Lacey and take her on a walk. She did great as did Lacey. I will definitely use Abby again! Thanks Abby. You saved my day!!!”

About: I have taken care of pets since I was very young, my family's and others as well. I currently have a dog who is older and anxious, so I have to care for her needs specially. This is my new full time job, so I can watch or walk your fuzzy friends any time! Later morning, afternoons, and evenings are preferable times. I am very quiet and gentle with pets, especially anxious ones. If they have special needs then I accommodate their needs in whatever way I can. I have experience in caring for elderly and disabled animals. I also have a tick remover, just in case.

About: I have experience as a kennel technician and administering pet prescribed medications. I have cared for dogs, cats, fish, reptiles and birds of different breeds and ages. Family and friends have relied on me to babysit and feed their pets well as cleaning litter boxes or any pet in house potty accidents. I am a student at Schreiner University for pre-med but I am available Mondays and Thursdays from 3-8pm for drop in visits and or walks. I am very patient with all breed personality types and give plenty of attention and comfort to active and shy pets. I make sure fresh food and water is replenished with cleaned pet bowls to prevent traces of pet drool and germ build up. For drop in visits or walks, I value potty time and play time to ensure pets get their full amount of exercise and fresh air. For walks I take notice of different pet behaviors and will be cautious of other dogs walking by. I am extra patient with pets who are fearful of weather storms or loud noises such as fireworks.
