Dog Walking Coolcrest

About: I have worked/cared for animals my entire life and they are truly my biggest passion. I have been in the veterinary field for the past 5 years. I have experience caring for animals of every kind! My dream is to become a veterinarian someday so I am extremely comfortable giving medicines of any sort. I do not have equestrian experience but I am open to learning! I am currently a student but schooling doesn’t start till later in the year. My schedule is open fully right now but will possibly change in the future. The way I gain trust with animals is observing their body language and respecting their boundaries. I never force an interaction on an animal when it is unwanted, I just give the animal time to become more comfortable with me. I am very open with communicating with my clients, giving them updates of any kind and advocating for my pets. I am very respectful of my environment and other people’s spaces.

“Erika was phenomenal with our boy, Buddy. She took such great care of him, excellent communication and very helpful too as we had late Christmas presents arriving after we left for our trip. We’ll be booking her again!”

About: I’ve always loved caring for animals and have been pet sitting for neighbors and family friends for years. I recently graduated from Texas Tech University with a degree in Animal Science, where I took courses focused on animal health, behavior, and training. During my time in Lubbock, I volunteered at a veterinary clinic and several animal shelters, where I gained hands on experience socializing and training dogs and cats with a variety of personalities and needs. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets. Whether it’s going for walks, sticking to their normal routine, playing with them, or simply keeping them company, I strive to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and providing them with the best care possible! Since I recently graduated, I currently have a flexible schedule and am not working a full-time job. This allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. I can dedicate plenty of time and attention to ensuring your pets receive the care and companionship they deserve. I care for pets in their own homes, where they are most comfortable. I follow all owner instructions and make sure pets receive the exercise, attention, and care they need while you’re away.

About: Hi! I’m a huge dog lover and currently work at a doggy daycare where I care for dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities every day. My job has given me hands-on experience supervising playgroups, understanding dog body language, and making sure dogs stay safe, happy, and comfortable. I’ve also taken care of my own dogs for years, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I’m comfortable with puppies, high-energy dogs, shy dogs, and older dogs who may need a little extra patience and care. I’m also experienced caring for multiple dogs at once and making sure everyone feels safe and included. I’m happy to help with dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, and making sure your pet feels relaxed and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities, and I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I’ll also send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pup is happy and well cared for! Caring for animals has been a regular part of my routine through both my professional experience working at a dog daycare and caring for pets in my own life. I’m used to planning my day around feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, enrichment, and monitoring pets’ well-being. I make reliability a priority and ensure every pet receives the attention and care they deserve. I prefer to care for pets in their own home because it keeps them in a familiar, comfortable environment and helps reduce stress. When I provide in-home care, I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications, and routines. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure at all times, keep the home clean and respected, and give pets plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I also provide regular updates with photos so owners feel reassured while they’re away.

“Kylie is so patient and dependable. My Husky/Malamute is a wild one and she is able to tame him and get him to exert his energy. He comes back so content from their walks together. We appreciate her services so much!”

Val L.

About: I’ve been a dog owner for most of my life and have cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I helped raise and care for my Border Collie/Lab and Rottweiler/Lab, both of whom lived long, happy lives. I currently have a 3-year-old Pit Bull and a 3-year-old Pug/Yorkie mix, so I’m comfortable caring for both large and small dogs. Through caring for my own pets, I’ve gained experience with feeding schedules, daily walks, playtime, giving medications when needed, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, and I’m patient, dependable, and committed to following each owner’s instructions so their pet stays comfortable and happy while they’re away. I’m currently available with a flexible schedule and can provide reliable, attentive care throughout the week. I make pet care a priority and always ensure dogs receive plenty of exercise, playtime, potty breaks, fresh water, meals, and affection. I’ll communicate with you regularly and send updates and photos, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. I always follow each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, medication instructions, and any special care requests. Whether in my home or yours, I’ll provide a clean, calm, and loving environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family.

About: My friends say I’m the first they call whenever they need someone to watch their pets. Walks, baths, special diets, playtime I’m prepared for it all! I’ve always loved dogs and cats I’ve been around them all my life so now I’m here to do the same for you! Life can get busy and hectic so let me take some of the load off! Currently, I am a full time student online, so as long as I have my computer I can do my homework from anywhere. I’m not working so my schedule is open as of right now! I’m also active so if your dog needs a run or extra play time I can do that as well. I have a fenced yard and medium sized crate. I have extra dog toys and blankets for dogs who may have anxiety. I’m able to be with the dog at all times, so any special instructions are no problem for me.

“5 STARS! Easy to communicate with. Our 1 1/2 year old big (50 ponds) puppy adores her and gets so excited when she is here. I love that our puppy loves her! She walks him one day a week and is always on time. Highly recommend her!”

Barbra R.

About: I’ve taken care of many pets, I’ve pet volunteered at the SAHS for about 6 months, and I’ve done pet sitting for my friends and family and neighbors for about a year or longer and I am currently working at Barkaritaville pet Resort! I always make sure that your pet(s) is happy and content while providing all the proper care for your pet(s) My availability will vary due to my job, I work 4 days a week most weeks from 7am - 6:30 pm. So on those days I unfortunately don’t have any availability, on my off days I will be happy do walk your dog or stop by for a drop in! I have 3 dogs in my own home, as soon as I wake up I make sure that they are fed and that they have gone outside. For my clients I arrive early, or at a set time they would like me to arrive, make sure that they have gone potty (I stand off to the side and watch if not distracting for the pet) and then I prepare their food and make sure that they eat before I leave. I do sometimes walk them if requested.

About: ​Hi, I’m Courtney! Animals have been a core part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up surrounded by both cats and dogs taught me early on how to read animal body language, respect their boundaries, and give them the individualized care they deserve. ​Today, I’m a proud parent to a wonderful multi-pet household: three dogs (ages 13, 5, and 2) and two cats (ages 4 and 1). Living with everything from a playful kitten and a high-energy young pup to a wise senior dog means I’m well-versed in managing senior care, high energy levels, routine feedings, distinct play styles, and peaceful co-existence across all ages! ​Whether your fur baby needs a cozy place to stay, quick drop-in check-ins, energetic daily walks, or dedicated house sitting in their own environment, I treat every animal in my care with the exact same love, patience, and attention I give my own. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! Caring for my three dogs and two cats means my day is already structured around morning/evening feedings, regular walk schedules, play sessions, and litter box care. Whether your pet needs high-energy walks, timely feedings, or gentle companionship, fitting their routine into my day is effortless because animal care is already my top priority. ​In My Home (Boarding & Daycare): Safety and comfort come first. Because I have three dogs (ages 13, 5, and 2) and two cats, I ensure all guest pets are comfortable around other animals through an initial Meet & Greet. I maintain separate spaces so guest pets can eat, rest, or decompress in their own quiet areas whenever needed. I mirror your pet's feeding schedules, medication needs, and regular potty/walk times so they feel right at home. ​In Your Home (House Sitting, Drop-Ins & Walks): I respect your home and follow your pet’s exact routine to keep their environment low-stress. During house sitting and drop-ins, I ensure fresh food, clean water, timely medication, litter box maintenance, and plenty of focused affection or play. For walks, I strictly adhere to safe handling, leash discipline, and weather awareness. I always send regular photo and video updates so you have complete peace of mind while away!

About: I have had 4 puppies that I have raised to adults. I am home all day working remotely and can give your pet all the cuddles and attention. My animals are my life and i am home all day to take them potty and show them tones of love and play fine! I will be home all day to take care of your pet! i am very very protective of animals and even when I let the dogs in my fenced backyard i always watch them to ensure safety.

About: Emily and her husband, Michael, welcome dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities, and our own pups—Oliver (a Labradoodle) and Porter (a Rhodesian Ridgeback mix)—are friendly, adaptable, and happy to follow your dog’s lead. We’ve had experience with rescues and skittish dogs, including rehabilitating Oliver, so we’re patient and attentive to each dog’s unique needs. Your dog will enjoy a fully fenced backyard with plenty of plants to explore, or relaxed neighborhood walks on safe sidewalks. If their style is more couch-cuddles than playtime, we’re just as happy to match that vibe. We live only 15 minutes from both a trusted vet and an emergency vet, so your pup’s safety always comes first. Most of all, we know what it’s like to trust someone else with your fur baby, and we don’t take that lightly. We’ll treat your dog like part of our family, sending regular photos, keeping you updated, and making sure they feel loved every step of the way. Caring for dogs is already part of our everyday life, and we couldn’t imagine it any other way! With Oliver and Porter, our days naturally revolve around walks, playtime in the yard, feeding schedules, and plenty of cuddle breaks. Bringing other pups into the mix fits seamlessly into that rhythm. Emily is home full-time, which means she's around throughout the day for potty breaks, play sessions, or just a little extra attention. Because Emily is home throughout the day, your dog won’t be left alone for long stretches, and they’ll get lots of love and engagement. On weekends, we spend even more time outside exploring the yard or walking the neighborhood, so your pup will always feel like part of the family. In our home, your dog will be treated just like one of our own. We have a fenced backyard for safe exploring and playtime, plus our two friendly pups, Oliver and Porter, who love welcoming new friends. Dogs are welcome to roam our home alongside ours, but always under supervision for safety. If you prefer, we also have crates available and are happy to follow your dog’s routine to help them feel comfortable. We stick closely to feeding and medication schedules, and we’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your dog is doing. If we’re caring for pets in a client’s home, we do our best to keep their routine as consistent as possible: following feeding schedules, walk times, and house rules to help them feel secure. Whether at our place or yours, we care for pets with patience, flexibility, and the same love we give our own dogs.
