Dog Walkers in Gun Barrel City, TX

About: While I too enjoy traveling I know how it can be when you can’t take your 4 legged family member(s) with you. I have 3 of my own Lionhead )fluff ball) bunnies of my own. I love fur babies of all breeds, shapes and sizes. While I don't have a dog or cat due to my hubbies allergies. I do love them all. Most of my friends or family have dog(s)/cat(s) and they all seem to love me and want my attention when I visit family and friends. When I 1st moved to Dallas my friend needed someone to let her dog out a couple times of day due to her long work hours. I was there to let Jackie out to potty and socialize. I became his Auntie Robin. Now every time I go to visit my friend he thinks I'm there for him and walk and play time. Of course I do this as he is so loveable I'm happy to go for a walk and play with my fur friend while visiting with my friend. I recently cared for my neighbors large and small dogs, 2 cats and a bird on a last minute need while they went away for the holiday weekend. I did home visit twice a day as requested. I would spend 30-45 minutes at the home as the owners requested. The dogs knew me & I was like family. They were happy to see me. I feed them, played with them, let them out to potty and gave appropriate treats for good behavior. My last day they dogs laid on top of me like I was their family. The dogs also listened to me when it was time to kennel them even though they didn't want to go in they did. I currently volunteer for the past 12 years with a domestic rabbit rescue. I go out to the rescue when I can to help, feed, care for special needs bunnies, clean up them yard/x-pens where the bunnies are housed. I give medication when needed. Including medication by means of oral, drops and shots. Including helping with the rescue I also foster bunnies in my home in addition to my 2 fur babies of lionhead bunnies. One of which can be seen in my pictures. Pet sitting/house sitting is my primary job. I enjoy spoiling my pets along with my clients pets. This makes my clients able to enjoy holiday or work trips without worry. As I make sure to treat the clients pet like my own and give lots of love and care like their human. Every pet not matter if my pet, friends, family or a client is an important part of my life when I’m with them. I make sure they know I’m there for them and I will love and care for them at all times.

About: I have been taking care of animals for a very long time. I love all animals and if I could keep them all I would! I am available full time. I can keep your animals overnight. I can stop by for potty breaks or to go get a pup cup! I have an acre for your fur babies to enjoy. I have 3 friendly dogs that can keep yours company. They will definitely be spoiled at Aunt Amanda's house!

About: Though this is my first dog sitting job I have grown up with multiple dogs and love animals so much! I’m willing to watch over any sort of dog as I love all breeds:) I am able to train dogs fairly easy and am willing to help with whatever needs your animal has. I currently run an at home baking business that allows me to watch over my dogs and any other animals at all times. I’m an active person myself so I love to take dogs on multiple walks every day. My pets are my best friends and I treat them with love and respect. Every animal I take care of will be loved and never treated horribly.

About: I’ve been a pet sitter for 10 years and a trusted member of Rover for 8. I absolutely love all dogs, cats, or any little creature. Animals are my passion and I don’t intimidate easily nor would I ever allow a pet to be mistreated! When watching each pet I take care of them like I would take care of my own family member and worry about them like they are my own child. I truly love them because they are just innocent babies. About Pricing & Services Overnight stays are a higher-rate, non-negotiable service due to the time and responsibility involved—especially during holidays. I’m fully dedicated during those hours, providing constant care and added home security. That said, most pets do great with two drop-in visits spaced 12 hours apart, especially if they’re used to being alone or have outdoor access. If I notice any concerns during a visit, we can always reassess. All other prices are flexible—just reach out if you need help financially. I’m happy to work with you. Drop-In Visits are a great cost-effective option for pets who don’t need overnight care. I’ll give your pet full attention, refresh food/water, clean up any messes, and ensure they’re safe and comfortable. Dog Walking is strictly for exercise. If you’re going out of town and need full care, please request drop-ins or overnight stays instead. If you have any questions or special requests, feel free to message me. I’m always happy to help! In a client's home, I strive to maintain the pet's usual routine to minimize stress. This includes following specific feeding schedules, walking routes, and any medication regimens precisely as instructed. I also make sure to keep the home tidy and secure, respecting the space while ensuring the pet's comfort and safety. I prioritize open communication with pet owners, providing updates and photos to reassure them that their beloved pet is in good hands. This customized care ensures that every pet receives the attention and love they deserve, regardless of the setting.

“Khloe loved the walks!”

About: I have worked consistently with a couple families and several drop in services for family friends! I have taken the wonderful doggos on walks, assisted with their medications, fed them, provided baths/brushed their fur, gave them extra pets/hugs. I can provide basic animal care, I always do my best to observe their body language as well to make sure they feel comfortable and safe. I have also helped with a special needs doggo who was blind, gave him his medicine, guided him through his backyard to use the restroom, etc. I would also love to provide any cleaning such as cleaning their bowls, vacuuming up any hair, cleaning crates, etc. I do work full time on the weekends during the night and a few days of babysitting during the day during the week, but I am always flexible with my schedule! I always listen to the let parents and how their schedule typically is and go off of that, I really do love animals so I’ll spend more time playing with them, especially if the doggo wants that play time and extra love!

About: I have had dogs my entire life, as a four years ago I got an orange cat and could not choose between either for the life of me. I cannot wait to meet and take care of your fur babies :) I am currently in nursing school only taking up 2 to 3 days a week. I am not available for on boarding in my home yet due to my animals. I make sure that the bowls are always full, or their food has been given on time along with medication if needed. I also make sure they are getting as much outside time as they can get.

About: I grew up working on my grandmothers farm and helped managed a rescue of birds, reptiles, farm animals, rodents and house pets. I now have three dogs and rebuilding my farm! I’m a stay at home mom for a 9and 3 year old but I’m pretty flexible with time as I have help! I can work with what ever schedule you have and if not and can work to help find someone for you! I have an extensive history of caring for pets, whether my own or others, including feeding, playing with them, talking to them, keeping them company, and much more while their owners are away, at others home I try to play and confer them as much as possible try and keep them on their routine and try not to change much of their daily style.

About: I'm a stay at home mom with my son in school. We've always had dogs in the house and love caring for all shapes and sizes! I have a great yard and fantastic flexibility to care for your furry family members all over the metroplex! I love long walks along grassy hills and furry warm cuddles at any time of day :) I'm great at schedules and extremely detail orientated. I have my own furry family members and believe a great sitting experience includes lots of communication and creating an environment of low stress for your animals, whether it's in my home or yours. I know how I'd want my pups cared for and my home as well, and gave multiple references from previous clients that know I go above and beyond expectations. I'm currently a stay at home mom so I have extreme flexibility to care for your furry family members. I'm available all weekends and holidays. I have a fenced yard and 2 fur babies. I can also crate your puppy if needed. I'm great with senior dogs and dogs with special needs as well!

About: I currently have two kittens about a year old. I’ve always had pets throughout my life. Dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, bearded dragons. I even had a prairie dog for a while. I love animals and getting to know each of their unique personalities. My work days aren’t totally set but I am able to be flexible when needed. I work Monday-Friday and have the weekends off. My days/hours can be switched as long as I have time to make them aware. I can’t board in my home but I’m happy to come to yours. I like to come by in advance for us to meet, and for me to get acquainted with your fur friends. It’s important to me that all of us are comfortable. I take notes of everything because every animal is different, just like us. I’m more than happy to send daily pictures/updates as often as you want. My goal is for you to have the most stress free trip away as possible.

About: I have always had Cats, dogs, horses, rabbits, chickens & farrets. Out of the 7 dogs I currently have, 3 are rescues. I manage our home owned and operated professional dog grooming salon, right on my home property. (Diving K9). I currently work part time for our other home owned business, Mentzer Family Construction. Therefore, I am available to make my schedule meet yours. I am a pretty open book 😊 I have a fenced yard and pasture. All 7 dogs get along well & eat together well. We have trained all dogs to get along with our 3 horses & to not chase or go after our 13 chickens.

About: We have always had pets in our home since I was a baby. Cats, dogs, birds, lizards. They have all lived happy, loved lives with us. I am currently working part time, so can fit walking or sitting into my schedule easily. Do not mind the travel time to take care of your loved one. We have 3 well behaved, well loved dogs who are good at socializing with new friends. We take the dogs on 2 walks a day minimum and spend a few hours outside playing and walking in the sun. We do have a kennel if needed and if staying overnight, the kennel stays in my room with me. I will adhere to the owners wishes as far as feedings go.

About: Im currently a dog mom of 2 wonderful pups. I’ve had dogs most of my life. I’m a Registered Nurse by trade. Open to non dog pets as well. I currently work from home and have open availability and flexibility for upcoming days/dates. I can help on short notice but may need some notice for weekends. Like many I treat my dogs almost like my children. I love animals and believe in engaging with them and keeping them active is key.

About: I will start by saying I am truly passionate about what I do! I have a genuine love for all animals! I've worked at dog daycares, grooming salons, boarding facilities as well as owned my own private facility! Nothing beats the comfort of a home-setting for your pets! I've been fortunate to have met and worked with many different breeds. I understand that different breeds require different care. I am always willing to accommodate for any activities you require for your pets. Extra snuggles? You got it! Extra outside time? No sweat! You like your pup to keep a sharp mind? I have puzzles and obstacles to keep them busy! If you have extra notes for me, having a list is the best way to make sure I cover everything you need! A little more about myself and my goals. I have my Associate in Science. Im currently enrolled to become a certified veterinary technician. I will continue to gain experience and knowledge with as many pups as I can! The only thing I may do differently than others would be to not allow you in my home for a meet and greet. You’re more than welcome to view the interior from the window, but I will not risk the safety of the other dogs or yourself by allowing you to enter the home. Not only is this a safety risk, but causes serious stress to the other dogs here when a stranger walks in the home. I don’t allow guests in my home for this same reason. My home is dedicated to this business and I work everyday with multiple pups. I groom quite a bit as well! I do hope everyone understands the safety of things! I look forward to meeting you all and thank you so much for viewing my profile here on Rover! I do this for a living, it is my full time job. I am flexible with scheduling and I am usually available for last minute requests! I am available full time for your pets and any accommodations you need while you are away! Drop in visits and walks anytime, I do charge a $5 fee for visits/walks past 6pm. When I do service at a clients home I always make sure to enter and exit cautiously. Double checking to make sure the door is locked and closed completely! Making sure gates and fences are secured in the backyard. When going on walks I always make sure we are using the proper equipment for the pup going on the walk! Harness is required if you want me to walk your pup. If you don’t have a harness no worries, I’m sure I have an extra one in the size you need! Retractable leashes are not preferred, I will use my own leash if that is the only option you have available. There are some pups that take time to warm up when I arrive. They are usually the ones that become my BEST FRIEND by the end of the stay. I will not overwhelm them or force them to like me, I will give them space and let them come to me when they’re ready. If they are having a hard time eating while you’re away I will try any suggestions you have as well as use my own experience to provide suggestions as well. At my home pups are allowed to roam free in the home and outside in the backyard. If you prefer your pup to be kenneled you may need to bring your own (we are now kennel free). I won’t use kennels unless you bring one, but I will separate groups with gates when it is time to eat or relax. If your pup is typical for high anxiety/trying to escape/being antisocial/unfriendly, they will be kenneled in the evening and walked outside on a leash, this is for their own safety as well as the other pups staying. The kennel provides them a safe space that they can relax without interruption. Walking on the leash ensures they do not jump the fence. Again, we are now kennel-free and you will have to bring your own if you know your dog is typically kenneled at home or may be aggressive. I make sure to keep an eye on all areas of the fence line for any possible holes before allowing anyone outside. I am outside with them and inside with them, they are never left unattended. I have cameras outside and inside for extra coverage. I will not leave for errands or go out for fun! The only reason I leave on a work day, is to provide taxi service to pick up/drop off pups for daycare/grooming appointments they have with me. Since there are always other pups here I make sure to do gradual introductions! Grooming pups are not introduced to anyone unless they are also planning on daycare or boarding in the future. I am confident that I can read the body language and assess the situation as needed before it gets out of control. If I feel your pup is not ready to be with a group I will let them spend time alone, then slowly introduce one pup then another and see how things go. Sometimes they wont get along with one specific pup, so I just make sure to rotate them! It’s a process, but well worth it to decrease the risk of fights/injuries/even death! I am all about the safety of your pup! I want them to come home to you safe and happy!
