Dog Walkers in East Columbia, TX

“Karri is so wonderful! You can tell that she is an animal lover and she does a great job walking my two dogs. They absolutely love her, and seem so much happier now. She will send pictures and notes each day and that is so nice to get that while at work. I would recommend you book her for your next Rover need!”

About: We are two roommates that specialize in different areas of pet care, between the both of us we're sure to have what you need! :) Owner one: I've had Cats for my entire life. Littlest newborns, reckless Kittens, lethargic but sweet seniors, special needs Kitties, and even cats that don't react well to others. I've been around Cats since before I can remember, and I've cared for up to 8 at a time. Among my most inclusive, I've cared for diabetic cats, seniors (10-20 year olds), Cats with pica, and hypothermic Kittens. I've administered medicine by mouth and as an injection. No matter the situation, I believe that the most important thing is communication and quality care. Your fur baby will be taken care of as if they were our own when they're here. As a Cat owner myself I understand that Cats are curious creatures, which is why our house is completely Cat safe. Our house has lots of windows, which are perfect for bird watching! We also include a catio for the lovely little ones to experience time outside in a safe and controlled manner. Owner two: I've had Dogs my entire life from Dog sizes of Chihuahuas to Great Danes and all inbetween. I've had short and long haired Dogs so daily Grooming is available for Double Coated dogs. I have experience with New Born Puppies to 18+ Elderly Dogs. We have a closed in Yard and a room open for your Dog to sleep comfortably inside at night. I've trained each Dogs I've owned and walk my own daily. I have experience with trouble making dogs and snappy ones. No attitude is to much for me. Dogs that need a special diet are all no problem we can separate and make fresh foods if requested. I know how to give medication threw mouth or syringe. Farm Animal Care. I've lived on a farm my entire life and do well with Chickens, Rabbits, Goats, Ducks, Turkeys, and Pigs. Reptile Care. I've had experience with multiple retiles I've taken care of Snakes and own several lizards who eat Live Food or need fresh produce. Owner one: I wake up every morning at around 7am, and do a bit of cleaning/remote work. Around 8:45 I start making the cats breakfast. Their breakfast is half a can of tiki cat, made by nacho chicken broth, Instinct digestive blend food topper, salmon oil, a freeze dried fish treat, and extra water for hydration. They eat in bowls that prevent whisker fatigue. Then we supervise play time as they run around the house. at around 12:30 they have a lunch of nutrish dry food with chicken broth for added hydration. Then they go out to the catio for some outside enrichment, before coming back in before it gets too hot. They have a soupy snack (Broth, water, and salmon oil) before running around the house some more. At around 6pm they have dinner, which is a repeat of breakfast with more dry food. Then we refill their bowls with dry food to make sure they eat enough. Then, after running around until 10pm it's finally time to send them to bed. We do have an alternate schedule for the days that we're taking care of other animals, so your little ones would be able to do the same things! All of our time is spent with our animals, they would never be unsupervised. Our cats would not be interacting with your pets unless otherwise specified. 🥰 Owner two: For our dog I wake up around 7AM each morning to take them out to use the bathroom. Around 8AM I come back and feed them a mix of dry food and fresh food. After there meal they get another bathroom break. They stay inside most the day unless they ask to go out. If not I will take them outside at 12PM, 3PM, 6PM. After 6PM ill make there dinner of the same mix of food. There usual walk times are in the mornings and sunset. Those times can vary to your pet. Our dog won't be interacting with your pet unless otherwise specified. Owner one: So in our home your pets care would be the same as our pets care, just at seperate times. We would supervise them at all times, but they would be able to run around with free roam of the house and catio. Everything in our house is cat proof, and we have lots of windows (that don't open) that our cats love to watch out of. They would always be busy, and if they weren't, they would have plenty of comfortable sleeping places. As for drop ins or other services in your home, we would have to be flexible and adjust based on your cats schedule. We can stick to a schedule, or just hang out and play/find something to keep them occupied. Depending on the pet and situation, obviously our care protocols are going to be different, we'll learn what makes your cat comfortable and stick to it. ❤️ Owner two: In our home your dog will be treated as our own they'll get their own room and attention we will play with them spend time with them walk and feed all depending on the individual pet. In our home the dog will have a yard to freely run around in (supervised of course) For dog walking we'd use the leash and collar you provide. If walking with a harness I prefer a second leash on the dogs collar incase of an emergency. In your home I'll adjust to your schedule we are very flexible and are available for check ins at any time of the day through morning, evening and night.

About: I own a three bedroom home with a fully fenced back yard. I have 2 sweet kids (my dogs) that share my home with me. Bella is a full chihuahua and Bentley is part chihuahua/part unknown. Both are rescue dogs and I consider them my family. I am available most days and would like to meet you and your pet before caring for them. We can get to know each other and I can find out their needs, any special instructions, medical needs, or anything special you do to make them feel your love while in my care.

I have lots of love and care to give each love one as if they were my own. *** Boarding- Pick-up/Drop-off Hours*** I am flexible on pick-up and drop-off times, no-drop off or pick-up times before the times stated below unless prior plans are scheduled. After hour pick ups are an additional $10/hour Monday-Friday: 8am- to 7pm Saturday & Sunday 9am to 7pm *I charge on a 24hr basis which means if you drop off pup(s) at 8am, pick up should be at 8am.

About: Growing up I’ve always had pets, from cats and dogs to birds and porcupines. Taking care of each individuals needs brings me so much joy. Thank you for giving me the chance to know your pet! I have open availability and can check on pets whenever it is needed. I can do at home sits any night or day of the week. I can’t do any sitting in my home due to my own pets but I am more than happy to come by and sit with them at your home! I don’t mind coming by for 5 minutes or a couple of hours depending on your needs. I can deal with big dogs who love to jump as well as little pets too!

“This was our first time to use Rover. Fortunately, we met Alyssa at the park and I was able to see how great she was with her Husky and our Golden. We booked her for 4 walks while we were away. Alyssa did a fantastic job with Elle and was prompt with photos and commentary. I’ll be confidently booking her again in March and May. I know Elle will appreciate it!”

“Blair was great! Very quick to respond, and she did a great job with our Goldendoodle.”

About: I’ve fostered for the SPCA. I’ve sat for countless friends, family and colleagues. I have an undeniable connection with nearly all animals that I encounter. I’m currently a stay at home mom for my 11 year old son. Also, having 2 adult daughters, 1 of which is currently in college and the other just got married last year and is starting a family of her own. I have a VERY large fully fenced in backyard that is ideal for dogs of all ages and breeds. I allow them full access to roam freely inside or outside by use of the doggie door. If I have dogs from different families I have 3 separate fully furnished and doggie friendly “guest rooms” that allow for space and privacy if needed.

About: My name is Payton, we live in a house with a half acre back yard. I am a stay at home mom, so we will have tons of time for actives and attention. We have an 8 year old Husky named Ridge, he is very sweet and LOVES other dogs. Ridge loves to run, so we spend most of our days playing in the yard, taking walks in our quiet neighborhood or going for an easy hike with our daughters. I also have experience in the Veterinary field for those who have pups with special needs (medications, special dietary restrictions, etc.). We also have a very lax orange cat named Jack, who is very good with other animals. I am a stay at home mama to my little ones, so I am home with your pups all day to play and tend to whatever they may need. We have 1 dog in the house, a very lazy husky named Ridge. He absolutely loves other dogs and will play relentlessly with any dogs. We do also have 1 cat, Jack. He is very tolerant and calm. We have a half acre yard with plenty of space for frolicking and play time. We do also love to go to the dog park in the evenings when it’s not so hot. I am very attentive to all the pets in my home. Both my animals are very relaxed but get their share of romping time! I will make sure your dog gets all the love and affection they could possibly need as well as feeding and potty breaks.

“Charisma did an excellent job helping take care of our golden retriever Otis! She was very active and helped him get out a lot of energy. We could tell she really cared and enjoyed being with Otis. We would highly recommend Charisma and look forward to working with her again in the future.”

About: Hello! My name is Sadie. I’m a 25 year old dog mom of Teddy & Honey (pomeranian & a golden retriever) Between those two I have about 8 years of experience working with dogs personally & 3 years of experience professionally. i used to work at a doggy day care & hotel for 3 years and absolutely loved it. i have come into contact with almost every breed you can imagine and know how to handle pretty much any size dog. They are my passion and I enjoy working with them very much. I currently work from home so i am pretty flexible with hours/times. •dog walking- I will walk your dog for about 30 min-1 hour depending on the type of breed and/or owner’s requests. •drop in visits- I will go to your home several times a day to check in on your dog to refill food/water and take him out for walks and/or the restroom. i work remote full time and my job is pretty flexible with my hours. Thankfully because of that i’m able to spend quality time with my pups & looking to care for other pups as well who’s owners need while on vacay or incase of an emergency. i always treat each fur baby & client’s home as if it were my own with the upmost affection, love, care & respect as well as being extremely diligent & thorough. the fur baby’s safety & well being is always my #1 priority.

About: Animals are never a burden. If you need to leave town on short notice and can’t take your dog? It’s okay your pet will be taken care of. I have had many dogs and cats of my own and know the work that goes into caring for them. It takes more than just feeding and giving water to watch over an animal. They need love and time to play. I am comfortable handling large dogs who like to pull. Even special needs animals. I am also able to care for different kinds of animals other than dogs and cats. I understand that it can be hard to trust someone with your animals, but I can assure you that I will treat them as my own.

About: I’m a student at Texas State, and fully online. Which this gives me a lot of flexibility throughout my day to make sure your baby is taken care of! I’ve always had dogs of my own and occasionally will dog sit others when needed. I work good with all ages, if their a senior or puppy and have a strict schedule I have more then enough time to make sure their schedule is met! If their in the process of training, I have experience for basic training if needed! I am currently a online student, so I have plenty of time to play with them and make sure they are well taken care of! I stay at an upstair apartment, I’d be taking them on a walk every 2/3 hours (or when requested) to use the bathroom and to get their daily exercise. I currently have a 5 month female Boston terrier to keep your dog company also! She’s friendly with any size male and female dogs! If needed to be in a crate or out when sleeping, I’m more then happy to get that arranged for you!

About: I currently work as a registered vet tech and have been for the past 8 years. Due to being well versed in animal health, I can also comfortably keep an eye on your fur baby and, if a health problem were to arise, I would be able to assess any problem quickly. As of now, I own 3 dogs and 2 cats, who all love to meet new pup friends while making them feel right at home! They're always up for running around in our large, fenced in back yard or even going for a snooze on the couch. I am very versatile in accommodating any needs of yours; whether your dog enjoys lots of walks, long games of fetch, or even just a lazy day-- I'll treat your dog as my own! Since I am THAT owner who is always taking pictures of cute animals, you can expect daily updates and pictures of your animal while in my care! As of now my schedule is fully open, with caring for your pets as a top priority. If anything changes I will always be willing to work out a schedule that works for the both of us. I have a fenced in yard and loads of mentally and physically stimulating toys available to your pup. Your pet will feel right at home and I will stick to a schedule and kenneling if preferred.

About: I have three fur babies of my own, all require medication both morning and night and they are senior dogs! That being said I spend a lot of time taking care of them and their needs. I work part time and i’m off most week days! I prefer morning times but i’m available most times most days for walks or check ins. My animals receive care beyond their needs. We often take our dog to the dog park and give them tons of enrichment time. I love walking with my dogs but due to their senior age it’s become a bit harder.

About: Since I can remember I have always had a dog in my life. I have been responsible for many of my pets growing from giving them food and water to taking them to the vet. I have worked in at a veterinarian office and enjoyed very much. About half of my job was taking care of the dogs that were boarding. The other half was helping to vet manage the dog in the room and giving the animals their vaccines. I am a college student and all of my classes are in the mornings, except Monday and Wednesday. I am available weekends. The days that work best for me are Tuesday and Thursday because those are the days I only have class in the morning. I currently don’t have a living space where I can keep dogs, so I will not be able to keep dogs with me. I will only be able to visit houses and pick dogs up for walks at the pets owners house.

About: Hello :) My name is Sharise and I am a 32 year old teacher who absolutely loves dogs. I have always had at least 2 dogs at a time many of which were rescues. I treat dogs like they are children: love on them, give them plenty of time and attention, and make sure they are always safe and well fed! :) I would love the opportunity to watch your precious dog and treat them like my own. Please feel free to reach out to with any questions you may have. Thank you! I am a teacher and work from 7am-4pm Monday through Friday so I am available anytime after that. I am off Saturday and Sunday so I can watch your fur babies anytime :) Also, I will be on summer vacation June and July so my availability will be completely open then. I currently have 2 fur babies! :) My 4 year old male fur baby is a Maltipoo named Ziggy. Ziggy’s hobbies include: cuddling, playing outside, riding in the car, the occasional nap, and trying to steal sips of his mom’s coffee. Maverick is a 3 year old multipoo who has more energy than a 2 year old toddler running around! He is wild, fun, energetic, and silly! Typical younger sibling vibes where he annoys his older brother Ziggy to play with him lol.

About: Preface: Rates are negotiable if you are a nice person :) I take care of my clients and treat every pet as my own and every house I enter with the same respect I would my Grandmother's house. (Rover also defaults to 30/60 min slots so I'm happy to customize a rate based on your needs, 15 or 20 minute drop-in's or even 45 mins if that's what your fur baby needs. - Just let me know what's needed. I'm an experienced and kind-hearted pet lover, degreed communications professional, currently living in 77407. I've had cats and dogs of all sizes since I was a baby. I have cared for or owned every sized animal from Pitbulls and Chows down to Laso Apsas & Yorkies, I've also owed multiple cats and have sheltered many strays, my most favorite currently being my huge 20lb orange Lion-cat named Hefe'. I am experienced with elderly animals and have also administered insulin shots twice a day for a diabetic cat for two weeks while her parents had to attend to a family funeral out-of-state. I would love to assist with any holiday needs this season. I've previously worked in advertising and dental sales and got burnt-out. I'm hoping to remain active while I find my next role and it's a bonus if I can also make a little spending money. I will work with you on whatever your needs are! My degree is in communications from U of H so please don't complain when I start sharing tons of videos/pics with you while caring for your pets. I'm also happy to send references or you can read a few on my LinkedIn profile. "Kelkalski" is my most common handle/link/online name. I hope to work with those whom feel I may be a great fit! Let me know what other questions you have on me! :)

About: My name is Kristy I'm a major animal lover. I've volunteered at the Pasadena animal control and the houston humane society, numerous doggy daycares/boarding facilities and a vet clinic. I've always had a strong passion for working with animals. I have plenty of experience working with dogs of all sizes and personalities, from Chihuahuas and pugs to malamutes and mastiffs. I love working will all breeds and would love to come into your home and give them the much needed love and attention while you are away. I also have many years of experience with pets with scales and arachnids. I am currently taking colleges classes, moatly online so i am almost always free.I look forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you so much and have a blessed day! I am currently a college student who takes classes, mostly online so most of my time is free. I have 2 school aged boys so during the school year, I may be unavailable around morning drop off and afternoon pick up times. I have a fully fenced 1.5 acre backyard with two gates that remain locked. I also have home cameras inside. Between myself, my husband and our children, your babies will be supervised 24/7.

About: I've had pets my whole life - I especially love cats and dogs. When I graduated high school I began to pet sit in homes. I love being able to give peace to owners and pet parents while they're away. I enjoy playing with and snuggling with fur babies! You can expect at least one picture a day of your fur baby, quick communication, and rules to be followed to the T. I am currently in-between jobs, which means I am free most days! Unless otherwise discussed, I don't pet sit on Sundays (but I am open to the possibility - some Sundays I volunteer at my church so I am not available for long periods of time then). Due to having my own dog at home, I generally make it a rule to either come to your house for check-ins or to stay at your house so I may better service you and your fur babies without incident. I like to know as many details about your pets as possible. Before agreeing to a job, I like to come and meet the fur babies to make sure we are a good fit together. I can walk or let your animals out to exercise and use the potty, feed and water them, clean up messes and litter boxes, play and snuggle with them, and more. I won't, however, bathe or give medication in most cases - pills put or crushed into food are okay, but injections and such are not.
