Dog Walking Central Gardens

“I’ve had Melissa walk my dog a few times now. I can tell she really loves what she does and my dog is always so happy to see her! She sends plenty of photos and maintains an open line of communication. Book with her and your pup will be in great hands!”

“Megan is an amazing dog walker. I am a middle school teacher, and I needed help making sure my dog gets plenty of exercise. Now, I am able to guarantee that he gets his walks in on top of his training and enrichment. She's always on time and leaves good summaries of the walk.”

“Damarilys was absolutely wonderful!! We needed a dog sitter last minute and she was super responsive and capable. She took great care of my dog - not only walking him on his usual route, but also giving him lovins while I was gone. Would definitely recommend!”

About: Hi, I’m Lily, and I’m passionate about caring for pets like they’re my own! 🐾 As a Star Sitter, I’ve consistently provided reliable, loving care that pet parents can trust. I have experience looking after dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. Whether your furry friend needs daily walks, playtime, or just someone to cuddle with while you’re away, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m based in Port Neches, serving the fur babies of Southeast Texas. I also have a half-acre chain-link fenced yard where dogs can safely run and play! I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. Whether it’s administering medication, sticking to feeding schedules, or giving extra attention, I’m committed to their well-being. With a genuine love for animals and a detail-oriented approach, you can trust me to treat your pets with the same care and attention I’d give my own. Let me give you peace of mind while you’re away, because your pets deserve the best! Contact me today to discuss how I can support you and your furry family members! Pet care is my full time focus, so my schedule is highly flexible and centered around the pets in my care. As a Rover Star Sitter, I’ve consistently provided reliable, high quality care that pet owners can trust. I have dependable transportation for pickups, drop offs, and emergencies if needed, and caring for animals is a natural part of my daily routine. I provide a safe, clean, and structured environment for every pet in my care. My home includes a chainlink fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, as well as a comfortable indoor space with plenty of toys, fresh water, and designated feeding areas. I prioritize safety by monitoring all interactions, especially when boarding multiple dogs, and I always separate pets when needed to ensure everyone stays comfortable and stress free. I can also accommodate bathing if requested, and I follow each pet’s routine closely to help them feel at home.

About: I am more than happy to meet with you prior to booking with me! I acknowledge that it is important for you to get know me, as well as is it for me to get to know you. Having pets comes with great responsibilities. I have raised puppies since I was 9 up until now. I am a biologist and grew up on a farm, so I know how to care for all kinds of animals. I currently have a 6 year old Labrador Retriever named Kaia and 8 year old Weimaraner named Blue. Sisters that love to run, swim, and live a very fun life along with me and my parents. Most of the breeds I have owned have been large breeds: Labradors, Bloodhounds, Dalmatians, Weimaraners, along with small sized breeds such as Beagles and Miniature Australian Shepherd. Working here full-time so let me care for your furry friend. I love to walk, they love to walk, in a win-win for both! 😊 I am not open to dog/cat sitting at my place, but I will gladly care for your friend at your place if needed. I am able to walk, feed, or take them to potty ever 2-3 hours. If your yard is not fenced, that is not a problem. If your yard is fenced, I will spend time with your dog, play with them, and clean up after them.

“Jackie does a fantastic job with my child. My child actually looks forward to seeing her when I say Jackie is coming-her tail wags very much.”

About: I’ve taken care of animals as a kennel tech and vet assistant since I was 15 years olds. And my degrees and career field revolves around veterinary medicine. I have nothing but free time to sit at home and care for your animals. There may be limited weekend availability depending on if I’m allowed to visit home once a month. I have an unfenced yard if your animal is a great listener, if not there is tons of space and a dog park for me to give them outside enrichment. Animals are free range in my home unless they have social issues. There are man areas that small kennels and gates can be placed to allow for separation if needed.

“She was wonderful… Thanks for taking our dogs on a walk and giving them lots of belly rubs.”

About: I've had all manner of pets during my life, being the primary caretaker of cats and dogs in the home since a very young age, dogs and cats being my favorite due to their playful nature. Now that my kids are getting older and wanting more pets in our home (we have 1 cat), I'd like to teach them responsibility and pet care by petsitting and walking dogs. Plus with all their energy and love, kids make the perfect friend for energetic dogs that love to play. My cat would also love a playmate, as he grew up with a big dog and misses having a friend! I currently work from home, so I could use the company and breaks to go outside and take walks just as much as your furry best friend! I have a large yard perfect for playing fetch and a big house so pups won't feel cramped. My kids are full of energy and would love a an energetic dog to play with or even an old dog to pour lots of love into with petting and belly rubs in abundance.

“Sami is awesome!”

About: I’ve spent years helping friends, family, and neighbors with their pets, from energetic puppies that need extra playtime to older dogs that prefer slow walks and sticking to a routine. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, refreshing water, cleaning up accidents, giving plenty of attention, and making sure pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I know every pet has a different personality, so I take the time to earn their trust instead of forcing interactions. Whether your pet loves to play fetch, go on long walks, or just relax with someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and give updates while you’re away. I’m currently in nursing school, and I have a pretty flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, and overnight stays. I keep my availability updated and only accept bookings I know I can fully commit to, so your pet always receives reliable, attentive care. I’ll also send regular photo and message updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, favorite walking routes, and any house rules. I take time to build trust with each pet, pay attention to their body language, and keep a calm, clean environment. I’ll treat both your home and your pet with the same care and respect I would my own.

About: I have had many types of experience through-out my life caring for pets. Just to name a few, I’ve had dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs, and a chinchilla. I have potty trained my pups, and simple commands/tricks. Currently my schedule is open so I am able to care for pets anytime weekdays and weekends. Animals with a more rigorous/timed schedule are welcomed as well. I have friendly and loving doodles who are always trying to make friends. We regularly bring them to the beach, parks and long walks. They love making new friends and playing fetch. They have a large backyard to play in at times but they are usually in the house because they are spoiled and this Texas heat is savage. I can crate pets if needed, it just depends on your preference.

About: I've been having animals my whole life, and I currently have a 14 year old kitty.I also sit for family, friends, co-workers and neighbors !!! I'm currently unemployed, so I can sit for you fur babies anytime you need me to, I'd love to treat your pets my like family I will be sitting in the comfort of their own home. Whatever they need I'm there, with whatever the parent approves of, of course 😉

About: I have always had dogs and had a several dogs growing up. I currently have two dogs that I love one of which has heartworms. So I have experience caring for dogs who need medicine and extra care. One of my dogs is also senior so I understand the requirements that come with caring for older dogs. This will be my first time working as a pet sitter but I have lots of experience around animals. I currently work full-time, but I am able normally completely free on the weekends. I also work near downtown Kingsport so I am able to leave on my lunch break to do dog walking. I do travel around the area a lot for my job and sometimes work late so I may not always be nearby or able to walk dogs very frequently through the weekday. I will be as attentive as possible when watching dogs in your home. I will also be respectful to your space and follow whatever rules I am given.

About: My mom has relied on me to feed, care, walk, and bathe our dogs growing up. My grandma has also relied on me to Watch overheard puppies as she left for vacation vacations. I have been doing this for 10+ years. I am currently working part time, I am available every weekday until 4 PM when I would go to work. While at work, I have three family members that can care for your pets while I am gone. I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of room for them to play. I am more than happy to kennel, my friendly golden retriever and orange kitten whenever.

“Our Lab was diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection and were advised from our vet to keep him out of doggie day camp for the week for his well being and that of the other dogs. Taylor responded within minutes to me and we could tell our boy was content with Taylor's visits/walks this past week. As a bonus, she included daily pictures which was appreciated. We had a very positive experience with Taylor and will reach out to her the next time we need our Lab in good hands.”

About: I’ve had many dogs throughout my childhood and I just love how they are. I have had experiences with many dogs throughout my life. They’re so cute I love them all. I currently don’t have a job right now but I am looking for one. I start my day early so I have free time! I only have one dog now. Her name is Luna, she’s been my baby since she was literally a baby. She knows when to go outside to use the restroom, as well as some tricks I taught her, she also loves when I pet her…sometimes when she wants me too lol, still love her.

About: Brand new to this site, but not new to pet care! Please consider giving my services a chance. I have my own dog training/pet care business outside of this site but figured I'd sign up here to get some more reach. I have had animals of all kinds throughout my life time. From cats and dogs to rats and snakes, I've cared for a large variety of pets. There was even a raccoon I pet sat at one point! My true passion though falls with dogs! I grew up wanting to be a veterinarian but changed my career path when I found my love and affinity for dog training in highschool. Ever since, I have studied and researched dog body language, training techniques, and other fun interactive activities and sports that can be done with dogs such as canicross or dock diving! Now my dream job is to become experienced enough to train service dogs for those in need, while also running a board and train facility. Outside of my own pets, I've also trained/cared for puppies and pet sat senior dogs and pregnant dogs. One pregnant dog actually went into labor during the time I was pet sitting, so I have experience handling dogs in labor. Additionally. I have experience administering medications and am knowledgeable on how to perform CPR and the Heimlich maneuver on dogs and cats. I have had to perform the heimlich once on one of my own dogs when she began to choke on a treat she'd been chewing on. I currently work a full time job at a local pet store, but I work around my retail work hours to provide care for both my pets and the pets of those who entrust me with them. I wake up early to care for pets before work, I use my hour lunch break to care for pets and after work I make my way out to care for pets before going back home to take care of my pets. My days consist of nothing but pet care around the clock! While I am adaptable to any schedule or routine set by a client, here is my own general routine for my own pets as an example of my care: My own pets are on a daily routine. My dogs get let out in the morning to potty and play while I prep breakfast for all my pets (3 cats, 2 dogs). After breakfast, my doberman lays down in her crate for an hour nap to avoid developing bloat and my corgi goes back outside to play with my mom's dog. My cats typically will take a nap after breakfast and lounge around. After an hour, my doberman goes back outside to play and I will go out to throw toys and play fetch or tug with them all. At 2pm, the dogs all come in for an hour or two nap time and then are let back outside to play. Around this time I will take one of my cats outside on a leash to let him explore. My cats are all indoor cats and typically don't show any interest in going outside, but he does so I felt this would be a safe way to let him do so. I also intend to build a little catio window unit for my bedroom to allow my cats a safe way to experience being "outside" without risk. Due to all my cats being 10+ years old, they spend most of their day relaxing, sitting in windows and watching the birds and squirrels outside. At about 8pm the dogs come inside and usually settle down and relax until dinner between 9:30pm and 10:30pm. After all my pets eat their dinner, the dogs will go to their crates to rest until I lay down for bed and let them out to join me. Typically I would not leave my dogs outside for such a long time, however I am currently living with my parents to help with my mom's disability and my dad prefers the dogs spend more time outside. Because of this I do try to find days to take my dogs out on walks in parks nearby. When I lived in Oklahoma, I would occasionally take them hiking as well. Thankfully, my parents do have a large enough fenced in back yard that the dogs have lots of room to run and play when I'm unable to take them out for an adventure. Once a month I give my dogs an oral flea and tick preventative. Every 2-3 months I will also fully groom my dogs. I shampoo and condition their fur, trim their nails, brush their teeth, clean their ears and moisturize their fur and paw pads. Nail trimmings are done more frequently, at least once a month if not twice, to ensure their nails don't grow too long. They do a lot of running outside, which helps manage the length between trimmings.
