Dog Walking First Centerville

About: *If you would like me to do multiple 30 minute vists or walks, please book drops ins/walks. If you book house sitting please be aware it’s only one visit per day and I do not stay over night at a clients home* Hello, my name is Courtney and I’m your pets new best friend! I’ve always been told I have a “way” with animals and it has helped me create an understanding of them, their behavior and psychology. I was fortunate enough to be raised in a household with multiple dogs, cats and even exotics. The care and well being of animals is something I’ve been passionate about my entire life. In the future I’d like to go into the animal care or behavioral field so I’m trying to get as much experience in with as many different animals as possible! Special needs/seniors/etc are not a problem for me. I can guarantee that I will treat your dogs (or cats) with the same love and respect I show my own pack.

About: As a full-time work-from-home professional, your pet will enjoy constant companionship and a highly predictable routine throughout the day. I specialize in providing attentive care for both energetic puppies who need consistent potty schedules and senior dogs requiring gentle pacing and precise medication management. My home is a calm, hazard-free environment designed for safety, and I intentionally limit bookings to one family at a time to ensure your dog receives my absolute focus, regular exercise, and undivided affection. As a lifelong animal lover with over 5 years of pet care experience, I treat every furry guest like a member of my own family. My goal is to provide a safe, high-energy, and stress-free environment tailored specifically to your pet's unique personality and daily routine. Whether your dog craves long, structured neighborhood walks, intense fetching sessions, or just a quiet spot on the couch for endless belly rubs, I ensure they receive constant attention, love, and mental stimulation. I am extremely detail-oriented, highly communicative, and will text you frequent photo and video updates so you can enjoy your time away with absolute peace of mind. Whether hosting your pet for a fun-filled staycation at my house or caring for them in the comfort of their own home, safety and peace of mind are my top priorities. In my home, your pet will enjoy a fully secured, hazard-free environment with plenty of cozy spaces, separate boundaries for safety, and constant supervision. When checking on or sitting at your home, I strictly respect your property, follow all security protocols, and replicate your pet's exact feeding, walking, and medication routines to minimize separation anxiety. I keep emergency vet contacts ready at all times and send frequent, reassuring updates so you always know your best friend is safe, happy, and loved.

About: Hey there! I am lynnsee, a force free dog trainer and professional pet sitter that just moved to Texas! I have grown up with show dogs that I use to show in the AKC junior handler conformation, my parents have had dogs that ranged from American staffordshire terriers, Bully breeds, Belgian malinois, French bulldogs, GSD, chihuahuas so I am very experienced with a variety of dogs since a very young age. I also have plenty of experience with reactive dogs as I own a reactive dog and have worked with numerous dogs who have special triggers. I know a lot of dog owners struggle to find a trust worthy pet sitter with their reactive pup and I can totally help you out with that! I have experience and studied animal behavior, mental enrichment, basic force free training and FF training with reactivity/behavioral mods, leash handling skills, management, nutrition, physical enrichment for animals. Contact me today to schedule a meet and greet I have a dog training and pet sitting business so I work full time with my clients and their lovely fur babies! My routine is to wake up, let dogs out, feed/water them, dogs are usually fed from an enrichment toy (west paw, kong, slow feeder etc). My personal dogs and training client dogs start training an hour after breakfast for about 20-30 minutes then we play tug or go for a sniff walk for an hour while clients dogs are hanging out inside. Throughout the day I am rotating dogs from play areas to chill areas or outside so they have their own space and room to play or sleep. Dinner is around 6pm and is the same process as breakfast. House sitting routine- whatever routine your pup is on! I try to follow their routine as best as I can to insure nothing has “changed” for them :) I am force free and fear free professional pet sitter and trainer. Dogs that are crate trained can go in crates during down/chill time. With the dogs that are NOT crate trained or they have crate anxiety they will be loose inside the house with no crate time at all. Every dog is treated as my own and are loved as if they are the best thing on the planet (that’s because dogs are) I do not condone any violence or scare tactics used on animals.

“Mychelle is amazing! Her services consistently give us peace of mind that our fur babies are taken care of on days when we are gone all day! She always gives full details regarding her visits & the dogs are always happy to see her!”

About: I’ve been adopting and caring for pets my entire life! I volunteer with Dallas Animal Services helping dogs & cats find their forever homes ❤️ I teamed up with Hearts and Tails Rescue too and have gained two additional 😁. Never met an animal I didn’t love. I’ll care for your’s as if they’re my own! I’m an RN in Labor & Delivery and want to fill some of my off time with more and more animals. That being said, I’m clearly comfortable administering meds/ checking blood glucose levels etc for all animals. I have two children who have grown up learning kindness toward animals. I’m reliable and honest. You can count on me. I’m flexible as this is not my primary income. I know it’s difficult and emotional to leave your pets while working or traveling. I’d love to become the go-to helper that you can trust. Let’s do this :) Well I take care of my three dogs and two cats on a daily basis of course. So I care for animals 7 days a week. My dogs play outside in my fenced backyard but most of the time they’re indoors. We go on lots car rides and trips to the white rock dog park. And nightly walks in our neighborhood.

“She has done a wonderful job with my boy Quinn. Dependable and reliable and flexible. Highly recommend!”

“Elle did amazing with walking my puppy during the day while I was at work. She always let me know if there were any issues and the photos she got of my goofy dog were the highlight of my work days. I will absolutely use her again if I ever need to!”

About: I am a 19-year-old dog and cat lover with 8 years of experience caring for dogs. I have experience with potty training puppies, dog walking, and daily grooming such as brushing fur. I am patient, reliable, and passionate about providing loving care for every pet. I can also administer medication if needed. While I’m currently saving toward purchasing a car, I have reliable transportation options available and am more than happy to arrange a ride to and from your home when needed. Transportation won’t stop me from being there for you and your pet, and I’m always willing to make the extra effort to provide dependable and loving care. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I currently have a flexible schedule while attending school. I’m available most weekdays for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. On weekends, I have the most time and flexibility, so I’m especially available for overnight pet sitting and can dedicate more time to providing attentive care. Although I’m currently saving toward purchasing a car, I have reliable temporary transportation options and can arrange transportation to and from an owner’s home when needed. I’m committed to being dependable, flexible, and attentive to each pet’s needs while making things as convenient as possible for their owner. I do not offer pet care in my own home, but when caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, comfort, and routine. I always make sure pets are in a secure environment and closely supervise them during walks and activities. I believe it’s better to be safe than sorry, and I will treat your dog with the same love, care, and attention that I would give my own pet.

About: I am experienced with taking care of dogs and cats from all ages, sizes, and breeds. No matter your animals needs, we will be sure to leave your pets happy and healthy! I am an elementary school teacher so my schedule during the summer is very flexible. During the school year, weekdays are a bit more limited but the weekends I’m totally free! We are home to 3 cats which we pamper and love very much! I live in a house right next to a park which provides lots of running around and activities, which is perfect for any dog!

“I never use this platform, but today I had to work 10+ hours and I didn’t have the time to take Lily on her regular afternoon walk. I searched through Rover and when I saw the reviews, I had no doubt Cristina was the perfect fit for Lily. She was on time, and she gave me feedback on how the walk went. Not only that, she gave Lily a treat for me when she brought her home. I am so grateful that she was willing to fit us in on short notice, and I would highly recommend her to anyone that is looking for a responsible dog walker/sitter. Cristina made this entire experience so seamless, and I know I’ll be reaching out again for her help. Lily enjoyed her walk!”

I also have a dog park near my home I can take them to if you’d like. At your home, I’ll be happy to take your dog out however is needed while ensuring safety and cleanliness.

About: Growing up there’s always been animals apart of my family. I’ve been responsible for dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, and snake's! I always enjoy getting to know new animals, and learning what works best for them. I’m currently a full-time student and mom which normally limits my pet care to Tuesdays & Thursdays 8:30am-2pm. Additional care can be scheduled on Saturdays if needed. For dog walks, I prioritize safety by checking leashes, matching your dog’s pace, and keeping them hydrated. After the walk, I wipe paws and refill their water. For check ins, I follow your routine for feeding, medication if needed, and potty breaks, leaving plenty of time for play and cuddles. During every service, I ensure your home is secure and will send a detailed Rover report card with photos and updates so you always know your dog is safe and happy!

About: I’ve owned a cat my whole life and have grown up watching pets for my friends and family! I’m a huge animal lover and since I don’t currently have a pet of my own, I’d love to watch yours!

I keep my house very clean and will do the same with yours. I adhere to a very strict schedule and would provide consistent and loving care to your pet!

“Coco is hard to handle when out on walks. She weighs approximately 100 lb and his dog aggressive, so we always have to be careful. Maddy did a great job of taking care of our baby and controled Coco well.”
