Dog Walking Fernwood

About: Paw-parent to the sweetest 4 year old Frenchton. As a former corporate employee in an office, I know the struggles of finding time to give dogs the attention and stimulation they deserve. I’m here to make your life a little easier and provide great care for your best friend. I’ve taken care of family pets since high school but became a first time paw-parent in 2020. My partner Johnny also helps me and he is home during the day since he works from home. I currently have lots of free time and can look over your pets almost any day of the week. Spring break is around the corner and my calendar is filling up fast. Please book soon for March dates. Furry friends will be taken out 4-5 times a day. Can accommodate to more times if needed. Pets will be kept inside the home for boarding at all times. (Potty breaks are done outside in the backyard which is fenced.) If walks are required they will only be done if the weather is safe for pets and me. My current pet Peppers will be at my home if you are boarding but in a completely different part of my home.

About: I am a Licensed Veterinary Technician with 30 years experience caring for dogs, cats, pet birds, chickens, small mammals, reptiles, and other "non-traditional" pets. In addition to dogs and cats, my own pets have included rabbits, ferrets, box turtles, parrots, finches, and even a Texas spiny lizard! Do you have a senior dog or cat that needs some extra care and attention during the day? Or a special needs pet that has unique medical needs the average person may not be prepared to handle? Or how about a new puppy that needs mid-day potty breaks while you are at work, and could also use a few extra minutes of training to learn good habits? As a Fear Free Certified Professional, I only use reward-based training methods so your pet will look forward to my visits! I currently work full-time from home. My work schedule is unique which gives me the opportunity to provide mid-day walks and drop-in visits, as well as evening check-ins. I value the trust you place in someone to care for your furry, feathered, or scaled family member in the same manner that you would. I have dedicated my life to caring for and providing medical care for other people's pets, and will look after your pets as if they were my own!

About: I have accumulated pet care experience throughout my life with my own pets and the pets of my friends, extended family, and neighbors. I have looked after large dogs, small dogs, cats, turtles, fish, and frogs alike. I love animals, and I hope to treat yours with all the love they deserve! My schedule is extremely flexible. Currently, I do not have any job commitments, so if your pet needs a little extra care, I have time for them! I take any job that I have the privilege of landing with utmost care and sincerity. It is extremely important to me that I am considered reliable and responsible by those who have entrusted me with any job.

About: I have watched dogs for the last seven years. I have whelped multiple litters from my own dog and helped other people, I find happiness spending time with animals and making sure they are healthy and happy too. I am currently working from home and have lots of time on my hands. I am looking for some cute pets to occupy my time:) We will go for walks and play together. I will be sending you pictures and updates. I have a big fenced in yard, but if your dog prefers to stay inside, then my home is their home too.

“Maria showed up on very short notice to walk Pete for the first time. First she allowed some time for him to feel comfortable around her before taking him on a long walk. He came back very happy and wagging in full force. Will use Maria again. Highly recommend!!”

“Crystal was awesome and kept me informed of everything with Ozzy. Will definitely use her again!”

About: I've had cats and dogs ever since I've been alive. I have been pet sitting and dog walking for family, friends and neighbors for 20+ years. I am currently available Monday, Wednesday and Thursday during the daytime. I look forward to getting acquainted with you and your furry companion(s) and loving them as you do. I will care for your fur baby in your home and on the streets, sidewalks and areas that you feel are safest for your pet in your neighborhood.

“Jill arrived just a few minutes early so she could start Dash's walk right on time. Our tail wagged welcomed her at the door and really enjoyed his walk. This was the first time Jill B. walked out dog and we will definitely use her services again! Thanks Jill!”

About: Hi friends! With 10+ years of hands on experience of dog care/training & cat care with my own and others, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your fur babies. I’m not here to just watch your pets, I engage with them, play with them, and make sure they feel loved, safe and happy while you away. I take pride in going the extra mile, whether that’s sending you daily updates and photos, sticking closely to even the most strict unique care routine or just making sure they get plenty of snuggles and exercise. I believe in building real relationships not just with pets but with their people as well and many of my client have say their pets are more excited to see me than them. If you’re looking for a dependable, caring and enthusiastic sitter who will treat your pet like royalty! I’d love to meet with you and your fur babies. Feel free to message about any questions you may have. I have experience with in heat, unspayed females, high energy breeds, senior care, oral medication and sick care . I currently work part-time with Instacart, which allows me a flexible schedule, reliable transportation, and the availability to accommodate frequent check-ins and visits. I am also available 7 days a week. I am currently unable to offer pet sitting in my own home, as I live in an apartment. However, I am happy to provide drop-in visits, and dog walking services. Additionally, I offer mobile dog washing as an optional add-on — I can either bathe your dog in your home (if you prefer) or take them to a trusted local facility for a wash. Please note that if you’d like to add the dog washing service, we can adjust the booking to include it, and payment will go through Rover to ensure everything is handled securely. I always aim to provide flexible, reliable care to meet both you and your pet’s needs!

About: I’m the go-to dog sitter for my circle because I’m reliable, gentle, and genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or keeping up with routines, I make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and entertained. I have a flexible schedule and love fitting pet care into my day. I’m home often, so your pet will get lots of attention, playtime, and snuggles. I work from home so I can make any schedule work. I provide a cozy, safe environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I’m attentive to their needs, follow all routines, and make sure they’re always supervised and secure. Your pet’s comfort and safety come first.

About: I've had dogs ever since I was growing up. I started out with a pair of Jindo dogs from Korea. When I became an adult, I started raising cats. Eventually I went on to work at Pappy's Pet Lodge and now I hope I can work for you. I currently have no other tasks so looking after your pet is my number one priority. I am free every day of the week, even on weekends. I will almost always be attentive to your pet inside, making sure they always have water and a great time, and I always keep dogs on a leash outside unless we have a fenced yard.

About: Unfortunately, the pictures in my profile are somewhat misleading as my Molly passed away in January 2025. I miss her so much! But, thankfully, Molly taught me a lot about doggie care! As a retired data analyst and lifelong animal lover, I bring a rare blend of reliability, attention to detail, and genuine care to every pet I meet. I’m home full-time, which means your pet gets consistent, focused attention—no juggling or distractions. I specialize in: - 🐶 Senior pet care — I’m patient, gentle, and experienced with older dogs who need a slower pace, medication routines, or just a cozy companion. - 🐾 Puppy training basics — I help reinforce potty routines with calm consistency and positive reinforcement. - 🧠 Behavior tracking — My background in data means I notice patterns quickly. If your pet’s eating, sleeping, or behavior shifts, I’ll catch it early and keep you informed. I treat every pet like family—whether it’s a high-energy pup who needs structured play or a shy senior who just wants a quiet cuddle. My home is calm, clean, and safe, and I’m always happy to tailor care to your pet’s unique needs. Im newly retired and my only routine is going to the gym in the morning. But, rest assured, your pet won't ever be alone...my husband is here and works from home. I’m a retired professional who’s home full-time, which means your pet gets consistent, attentive care in a calm, secure setting. My home in Richardson is quiet, clean, and pet-friendly—with one sweet resident cat who’s mellow and used to sharing space. If your dog or cat isn't though, Jaz can always go to my mother-in-laws studio attached to our house if necessary. For dogs who enjoy outdoor time, I have a fully fenced backyard with a pool. I supervise all outdoor play closely and never allow unsupervised access to the pool area. Safety is always my top priority—whether it’s monitoring interactions, keeping routines consistent, or ensuring your pet feels comfortable and secure. In your home, I follow your instructions to the letter—respecting your space, keeping things tidy, and maintaining your pet’s familiar environment. I’m experienced with medication routines, senior care, and behavior tracking, and I always provide updates so you know exactly how your pet is doing. Whether it’s a playful pup, a shy senior, or a curious cat, I tailor my care to fit their personality and needs—because every pet deserves to feel safe, seen, and loved.

“Alex took the time to gently get to know my dog and her idiosyncrasies. Daisy was happy to go along when she is normally very reserved with strangers.”

“We cannot say enough nice things about Dan! He is awesome and we 100% recommend him! Dan handled our animals with such kindness and love. Great communication as well. We could not have had a better experience and we will absolutely be using Dan in the future for all of our pet sitting needs!”
