Dog Walkers in Garland, TN

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I grew up with cats, a St. Bernard, as well as farm animals including cows and chickens, which gave me experience with pets of all sizes and personalities from an early age. Today, I’m a proud cat person with four cats of my own and a very loved granddog who keeps me active and reminds me how important daily walks and attention are for happy, healthy dogs. Friends and family regularly trust me to care for their pets while they’re out of town, whether that means drop-in visits, staying with them, or making sure walks, feeding, playtime, and cuddles all happen on schedule. I understand that every pet has their own routine and comfort level, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, loved, and relaxed while you’re away. My goal is always happy pets and peace of mind for their people. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to provide reliable walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. I plan my schedule to ensure pets receive consistent attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship while their owners are away. I enjoy building pet care into my day and giving each visit the time and care every animal deserves. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions carefully while providing plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I also respect your home, keeping spaces clean and secure while sending updates and photos for peace of mind.

“Professional and Punctual. Very responsible. Great dog walker. I would hope to use her again.”

About: I go beyond basic pet sitting by building trust with both pets and owners. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s helping reinforce puppy training, keeping up with high-energy dogs, or providing calm, compassionate care for senior pets, I always make sure your pet feels cared for and comfortable. I’m currently studying for my physical therapy boards, which allows me to be home throughout the day and have a very flexible schedule for pet care. Because of this, I’m able to provide consistent attention, frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, feedings, and companionship rather than leaving pets alone for long periods. In both my home and a client’s home, I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, meals on schedule, and, of course, lots of affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully to help pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured while they’re away.

About: I have taken care of dogs that needed to take medicine and have dog-sat one hybrid dog for the past 9 years. Depending on the amount of time I am able to have with the pets, we often go for 3-4 hour long walks/runs a day. I do work full time away from home. I’m looking to make some extra money while in-between jobs so I can pay bills. But I am extremely passionate about animal care, and I’m hoping if this turns into something long-term then both you and I will be happy. I am unable to provide home services through my own place because my complex does not allow animals. But the environment I can provide is walks, jaunts to dog parks and—if permitted—hikes on fun trails.

About: I am a lover of all things flora and fauna. I grew up with three dogs in the house, all different sizes. I cared for my 16 year old lab mix from her animal shelter adoption until her passing a couple years ago. Since then, a wonderful cat adopted me and I couldn't be more grateful to have another pet to love through this season of life. I've also owned and cared for a menagerie of exotic pets from gerbils and fish, to snakes and bearded dragons. I love animals more than most people and spending time with them always makes me a better person. I am comfortable with medication routines as well as any normal needs your pet may have.

Unfortunately, I cannot offer boarding services at this time, but I am happy to visit your home to provide walks or food and water throughout the daytime and evenings.
