Dog Walking Denton

About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve loved working with them in all kinds of capacities since I was a child, and for more than 16 years, I’ve had the privilege of doing so professionally. Over the years, I’ve trained and cared for dogs of all personalities and backgrounds, including working dogs, and I truly enjoy getting to know each dog as an individual. I’m a Canine Good Citizen Evaluator and am certified in Canine CPR and First Aid through the American Red Cross. I recertify annually so I can stay current with the latest first-aid practices, and I’m also comfortable administering oral medications when needed. Most importantly, I treat every dog in my care as an individual and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re here. Before your pup comes to stay, I’ll have you fill out a little information form about them. It’s not meant to feel like paperwork for paperwork’s sake—it simply helps me get to know your dog before they arrive. Their routines, quirks, favorite things, and anything else that helps me make them feel at home are all helpful to know. I don’t have a breed preference and have experience with everything from easygoing family companions to high-drive working dogs. Whether your pup is happiest curled up on the couch or ready to spend the day exploring, I’m happy to accommodate their personality and your preferences. And yes, your dog is absolutely welcome on our couch! ❤️ Our home is their home while they’re here, and we want them to feel comfortable and included. At the same time, I’m always happy to follow whatever arrangements work best for your family. No matter what their stay looks like, your pup can count on plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and interaction. My goal is for them to head home happy, tired, and already looking forward to their next visit! I wake up and start the day off with morning let out. After each group has been let we come back in for feeding. Morning feedings normally allow for 30-45 minutes before letting out again for a potty break. They are brought back in, crated, and pups are rotated out for play inside throughout the day. I let out every 2-4 hours through the day or more if needed. I do have the option to add on trail walks for those who have social canines who are good with other dogs and people (I will not be introducing them to others but it is a requirement to the trail). In the evening we normally do the last feeding at 7 pm followed by yard play and starting to settle in. Last potty break is at 10 pm. Note: Although I am at home full time I do on occasion leave our home to run errands. Your dog can be left alone for up to 4 hours (max). If this is ever the case your pup will always be crated and secure. For your pup's safety They are never given free rein while unsupervised. I take the safety of your furry companion very seriously. Canines are let out for potty breaks every 2-4 hours (or as needed, if required more frequently). I have a fenced-in yard so your pup will be safe during potty breaks. I do not allow companions from other families to play with each other. This is a safety measure. Your pup can be under a lot of stress when you're gone and I want to make their stay as smooth and relaxing as possible. This doesn't mean I will not be playing with your pup ourselves! I love playing fetch, puzzle games, and even tug with them. I do allow for several outings in the house throughout the day so they can get plenty of one-on-one attention inside as well as extra pets. I have 5 acres that are attached to the national preserve. If your furry companion is social and enjoys walks, I have several trails I am happy to take them on upon request (weather permitting). All outings are on leash only.

About: I've had animals most of my life from puppies to pound mutts and full blooded and senior dogs. I make sure to encourage play and positive training. I currently work from home so I spend lots of time with family pets, old roommate animals and friends pets. Lately it's been waking up to 3 small dogs my parents have. I make sure to follow any rules stated by the original owner. It can range from crate training, socialization, cleaning, walking or using the client's home.

About: My full time job allows for flexibility during the work day and allows me to work anywhere with wifi. I can often be in the home caring for your animals or taking them out more often than a traditional sitter who works a 9-5. I dog sit for many members of my family and have had dogs since I was 2 years old. I have a lot of experience giving medication and working with elderly animals. If I am available, I would love to set up a meet and greet to see if I would be a good fit! I am also insured! I work a flexible 9-5 and can drop in to walk or spend additional time caring for your animal(s) because of the flexibility! I wake up early as well! I treat each home like I am a true guest there and treat it and the animals if they were my own. I am very respectful of the rules and furniture.

About: I am a pet sitter with a flexible schedule and have experience volunteering at a pet shelter. I would love to learn more about different breeds and unique and better ways to care for them I can do pet care daily morning or night. I live along with my mom so your pet will be supervised all hours of the day. I do not do boarding due to me living at a college dorm. Dropping in on a clients home I will be very careful of my surroundings and kindly approach your pet with grace and patience.

“Great communicator throughout the process. Work well with three dogs who were very rambunctious and anxious initially. I will certainly rehire Taylor to walk my dogs again. He was great”

I’m dependable, attentive, and always happy to follow your pet’s unique routine—whether that means daily walks, medication, or quiet companionship. I’m working toward becoming a certified dog trainer, I approach every pet with patience and curiosity. I care deeply about understanding each animal’s individual behavior, needs, and personality, and I do my best to make sure they feel safe, understood, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently taking summer classes remotely and working part-time, so I have a flexible schedule and am available at various times throughout the day. I’m home for the summer and primarily serve Trinity and surrounding areas. During the school year, I attend college in Charlotte and offer pet care services in that area as well. I also have a senior golden retriever who keeps me on my toes with regular walks and fresh air breaks, so I understand the importance of consistent routines and attentive care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your furry friend in your home or mine, I create a calm, secure, and loving environment where they can feel relaxed and happy. I closely follow any routines, feeding schedules, and special instructions you provide to ensure your pet feels right at home. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with kindness, patience, and lots of love. You can trust that your pet will be in safe hands, with regular updates so you always know how they’re doing

Daily routine for dogs or cats that are being boarded. Cats will always be in a safe designated area away from dogs if they are boarded. They get fed in the morning and evening normally 8am and 5pm or whatever the client wants. They go potty really early and throughout the day and their last potty break is normally around 10-11pm. They pretty much do whatever and just have a great time playing with other pets and making them feel at home. They are allowed on beds and furniture. You will always get updates daily and pictures.

About: Hi! I’m Laurel! I’m a 21 year old college student with a passion for animals. I have been building my business, Fingers and Paws Pet Care, since May of 2025! Since then I have served over 30 happy clients, many of whom schedule regular walks/visits! I am committed to providing pets with a safe and engaging environment, and pet parents with peace of mind! I have been an animal lover my whole life, and an involved pet owner since elementary school! I began pet sitting for neighbors and friends when I was in high school. I stayed in client’s homes while caring for their pets to avoid loneliness or a change in routine. This consisted of preparing meals, feeding, walking, giving potty breaks, playtime and other enrichment activities, as well as retrieving mail, watering plants, and ensuring the house maintains cleanliness. Oftentimes, clients would ask me to care for other animals in the home, such as geckos, turtles, and fish, which I am more than happy to do! I also offered drop in visits for neighbors’ pets in high school. This consisted of stopping by, preparing food, feeding, offering potty breaks, play time, walks, and litter changes if needed. Since starting Fingers and Paws, my pet care experience has increased exponentially. I have increased my range of services and now offer house sitting, boarding, drop in visits, walks, baths, and play sessions. Pet care is my full time job, though I am a college student! The majority of my classes are online so I can be as present as possible with your pets! I have one in person class on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1:00pm-2:15pm. Whether I’m hosting a pet or staying in their home, my routine depends on the pet’s routine! I discuss activity levels and a pet’s daily routine with owners before booking a visit. This includes feeding times, walk schedules, potty break schedules, treat schedules, and playtime schedules! Pets are sensitive to changes in their environment, so the goal is to match a pet’s routine as similarly as I can! I live in a condo on the ground floor, which means I have a backyard and can easily bring dogs outside for potty breaks or walks. The condo has three bedrooms so if I’m watching multiple pets, that gives them the opportunity for alone time if needed! I truly enjoy spending time with animals, and your pet will not go without attention or affection while they are with me!

About: I have a degree in animal science so I know lots about all sorts of animals, i love all animals with a passion. I’m a dog mom of 3! Currently working Wednesday from 2-5 and Friday 6-12. So the rest of the week I can play and walk your pups 🐶!! I’m super flexible with my schedule. I have three pups of my own and two acres of land for them to run and play, I do prefer to do walks or in home check ins on others animals though! One of my pups gets anxious around others sometimes. But he’s not aggressive.
