Dog Walking Central

About: Hi, I’m Madie and I am a Zoology student and dog groomer! I began working with dogs in high school at a board and train facility and then trained to become a professional dog groomer. Now I am going back to school, studying Zoology and volunteering at the Dallas Zoo! I love any and all animals- I have two dogs, two cats, and two tarantulas myself. I would love to take care of your pets while you are away or need help with walks. I can also offer grooming services such as baths, nail trims, and haircuts if needed- just message me for rates! I am a full-time student and have full availability during the summer, with the exception of Monday and Fridays until 1pm- I volunteer with the zoo keepers at the Dallas Zoo these days! I take safety very seriously, especially when it comes to our furry friends! I keep a close, watchful eye over the dogs I watch and pay close attention on walks to ensure everyone is having a great time and staying safe!

About: My phone screen says it all...it's a photo of my dog, the first thing I see every morning and the face I look forward to coming home to. That love is exactly what I bring to every pet I care for. For 15 years, friends and family have trusted me with their pets during vacations, emergencies, and everything in between. I know that when an owner steps away, their pet feels it. I'm patient enough to sit with that, calm enough to reassure them, and attentive enough to know what they need in the moment. Whether that's extra cuddles, a familiar routine, or just a steady, loving presence. What sets me apart isn't just experience. It's that I genuinely care. Your pet won't just be looked after, they will feel it. One of the best things about my schedule right now is the flexibility. Working part time means I can shape my days around the pets in my care, whether that's an early morning walk, staying close during those first anxious hours after an owner leaves, or simply being home and present. Your pet won't spend the day waiting. They'll spend it with someone who's actually there. From the moment a pet enters my care, their comfort and safety come first. I live alone which means no unexpected chaos, just a calm space where pets can relax and settle in. My flexible schedule means I'm never rushing out the door. Your pet has my time and full attention. Trust is everything. Fifteen years of caring for friends' and family's pets has taught me how to earn it quickly, from the animals and their owners. I keep communication open with regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is happy and loved. Whether I'm in my home or yours, my approach never changes: treat every animal exactly the way I'd want my own dog treated.

About: I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’ve been caring for dogs for over 6 years and truly love providing pets with a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience. I’m gentle, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs and personality. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing, I adapt my care to match their routine. I currently work part-time, which allows me to provide attentive and flexible pet care. While I’m unavailable on Tuesdays and Thursdays, I have open availability most other days and can accommodate a variety of schedules. I always make sure pets receive plenty of time, attention, exercise, and care. I live in a pet-friendly apartment and maintain a calm, clean, and safe environment. I’m experienced sharing space with pets and always prioritize supervision, comfort, and safety. I carefully follow each owner’s preferences and can separate pets if needed to ensure a stress-free experience.

About: I have a love for animals that you don’t see everyday. I deeply understand that your pets are your family, meaning their safety is my #1 priority. When your pet is in my care, they will be loved on and never left unattended. Sharing photos and text updates are a basic part of my drop in and walking care and I will always be available for calls/texts/facetimes should you have any questions, concerns or just want to say hi to your fur baby! I have also been a Dallas CASA volunteer for close to 2 years because caring for pets & children are truly a passion to me. I work from home and only occasionally have meetings, no longer than an hour at a time, so my schedule is flexible to fit your needs. My husband typically accompanies me on first visits or drop in visits after dark for safety precautions. Doors to the outside and gates from the yard are never left open, I understand because my dogs (and cat) can be runners. When I let the doggos out to use the restroom, they will be watched and not left unattended. I understand that elements such as weather, pools, holes in fences, etc. play a part in safety when pets are outside. When I stop by for visits, your pets will get all the love to make up for any time they’ve been left alone.

“Linda was polite and receptive to all information/requests I shared regarding my pup. Aside from the excellent care provided, she was courteous enough to go the extra mile by cleaning up any messes my dog (Or I) left laying around in the common area! I highly recommend her services!”

About: As a board certified behavior analyst, you can be sure your pet is in good hands. I have owned both dogs and cats. Reinforcement based methods are used :) I take my dogs out 3 times a day (morning, afternoon, and night) and feed them twice a day, morning and night. I allow them to lead walks unless I’m specifically training for them to walk beside me. I take pets to the local dog park (unless not desired by owner) and use treats as reinforcement for good behavior. I would also take them to get pup cups. I allow pets on the couch so that’ll likely be the spot your pup sleeps on!

About: Growing up in a house full of animals gave me hands on experience with all shapes, sizes, and personalities. I’ve personally owned and cared for everything from a giant Great Dane to a high-energy Border Collie, so I know exactly how to manage different strength and exercise levels. I currently work part time, which gives me incredible flexibility throughout the week! Because my schedule is open most days, I can easily accommodate mid day walks, or specific feeding routines. Your pet will be my top priority, and I have plenty of time to give them the focused attention, exercise, and love they deserve while you are away. Safety is my absolute top priority when caring for your pets. Whether I am visiting your home or taking your dog out for a walk, I maintain strict supervision, keep them securely on leash.

About: I have been around Large and Medium size dogs my whole childhood, and would often care for them on my own for days to a week at a time. I get along well with both cats and dogs. I go to college and have classes Tuesday-Thursday, I often have lots of school work and I hope to integrate that into my pet-sitting. When caring for your pets, I will give them the exercise they need through walks and playtime while also giving them lots of cuddles so they are not lonely during my stay.

About: I have watched pets for several friends in the past and look forward to watching yours! My current dog is well trained by my husband and I for hunting & is very obedient! I am a nurse who works just 2 days a week so have a lot of free time on my hands to care for your animals! I use Rover myself when needed for my dog! Our pup is the light of our life right now and enjoys being outdoors just as much as we do!

“Rebecca is very friendly and professional. She went out of her way to meet our dog ahead of time. I will recommend Rebecca to anyone looking for a dog companion.”

About: I am a retired professional athlete who absolutely adores dogs. If I’m being honest, I might like dogs more than people but don’t tell my wife lol. I have had a dog in my home since the age of 5 and I will do anything to make sure your baby has the most amazing time. I have 2 fur babies of my own, a 12 year old low maintenance chiweenie and an outside loving lab mix. So whatever energy your pup has, I have 1 that matches that energy. Whether your pup needs a walk or a place to crash while you live your best life, I promise they will be in the best hands with me! I work from home but my pups still run my world. Don’t tell my boss but my pups are always my first priority. Whatever your pup needs, I will make sure it happens Safety is my top priority, I know where the dogs are at all times. Animals have feelings too and I will treat them with the same respect and care as I treat anyone else
