Dog Walking Hendrix

About: Hi, I’m Darleen! I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life, and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. Growing up, my family always had pets, so I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. On top of that, I’ve worked in caregiving for people and while doing that, I also helped care for my clients’ pets. That meant feeding, walking, cleaning up messes, giving meds when needed, and just making sure their animals felt safe and loved while their owners were away or nearby just needing extra assistance for their fur babies. So being patient, dependable, and detail-oriented is already second nature to me. I’m great with energetic dogs who need real playtime, shy or anxious pets who need reassurance, and older animals who need a gentler touch. I myself had a Chihuahua since childhood live to be 18 years old. She passed away a couple of years ago, so I know how it is to love and cherish them and watch your baby go through all the stages of life. That being said, I follow routines closely, respect your home, and I’ll always send photo updates so you know how your pet is doing. I truly treat pets like family and see them no other way. If you’re looking for someone reliable who genuinely cares about your animals, I’d love to help. Feel free to reach out for a meet & greet :) I’m currently unavailable on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but can work with other needs on other days. At the moment pretty flexible just need communication, of course to work something out. I care for pets the same way I care for my own — with patience, attention, and respect for their routines. I currently have three cats and a really sweet husky at home, so I’m used to managing different personalities and energy levels. I’ve also cared for clients’ pets while working in human caregiving, which means I’m comfortable following instructions closely, giving meds if needed, cleaning litter boxes, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. I can accommodate whatever kenneling or crate needs are required at the location care is taking place, as well as follow any potty routine your dog needs. I always respect your home, keep things tidy, and send photo updates so you know your pet is doing okay.

About: I grew up with pets of all kinds. I've always been the first person all my friends would call to take care of their pets. I've watched chickens, ducks, hourses, cats, dogs, hamsters, bunnies, snakes ect. I never thought to make it a business I always just did it out of my love for animlas and knowing they would be safe with me. Now that I have more knowledge and experience it just makes me so happy I can help each and everyone of you while you are away doing something I absolutely love. ❤️ Im so incredibly thankful to say this is my full income so I'm home all day to play with your pets and keep them company at all hours if need to be! I take them on walks 3 times a day plus backyard time. Fed normally twice unless told otherwise, and endless play time with their breeds or endless snuggles. Cats are 24/7 off the walls so I tend to have to keep them occupied as well sometimes even put a leash on them for an adventure 🤭

About: I have always had a plethora of animals around me since I was a little girl...dogs,cats,horses,snakes,hamsters, you name it! I love animals and enjoy there company, it always brightens my day to see a happy, healthy dog/cat having a walk in the park or swimming at the lake, my animals are spoiled brats! I have administered medications for many types of scenarios. I am off on weekends but I work 7-2 weekdays until summer....so I could watch or check on your babies anytime after that, we have 3 acres, a doggie door in the house so your babies can hangout and run around all day I do have 2 dogs and 3 cats of my own, the dogs are older so they just hangout for the most part these days. I do also have 2 sons who's love for animals is just as much as mine.

“Stephanie was great. This was our first time using her service. She was punctual and asked all the right questions. Our boy really enjoyed meeting her. We look forward to his next walk with Stephanie!”

“She is amazing! I could not ask for a more reliable and trustworthy person to take care of my pup.”

About: I’ve been an animal enthusiast my entire life—if I could, I’d adopt every animal at the shelter! Growing up, I cared for a variety of pets, from rabbits and fish to birds, cats, and dogs. This lifelong experience has given me a deep understanding of the unique needs of our furry (and feathered!) companions. In addition to my love for animals, I’ve spent over a decade as a caregiver for my mother, who has a traumatic brain injury, and worked professionally in the caregiving field. This experience has taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of providing compassionate, reliable care. Whether it’s preparing meals, administering medications, or managing daily tasks, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your loved ones—including your pets. Caring for animals brings me so much joy, and I would love to offer you peace of mind while you’re away. Whether you’re at work or on vacation, your fur babies will be cared for like family. Let me help you by doing what I love most—providing top-notch care for your pets! I currently work from home right now so I have all day and night to spend time, love and play with your fur baby. 🥰 I care for your fur babies just like I would for my own fur baby. I am very alert, loving, caring and only provide the best care. I am a health and wellness coach so I only use the best DIY and holistic care and do not use any toxic chemical products or foods. My last pup passed from cancer so I have decided to have our whole house toxic free!

About: I was the girl that would bring home every stray just so they could feel loved. I have been the go to person for my family/friends to watch their animals because they know I would treat them as my own. I work 3 days a week at a hospital but I am free all day and night the other days. I would also be available before and after work. I have 1 large dog, 2 small dogs, a cat, and snake. I have watched many different breads of dogs and I have never met one that didn't like me. My house is kept very clean and oder free. Any accidents that happen while I am watching a clients pet get dealt with according to how the owner has instructed.

About: I have a gentle and loving spirit. I accept all animals into my world. The more the better! I have a lot of love to give. I work part time so I have plenty of extra time to spend with all the pets. I love being outside and going for walks and spending time with animals as much as I can. Whenever I'm with any pets, they have my full attention and care. I'm happy to sit with pets as long as needed and give them the love and care.

About: In September 2023 I retired from the Seattle area. I’m now open in the Sherman/Denison, Texas area. I have a flexible schedule and time to care for dogs. After almost a decade of watching dogs in my home I am currently focusing on caring for your dog in your house. I'm a small business owner with years of experience in the medical care field as a nurse’s aide, physician’s assistant, EKG tech, and home health aide. I am also a teacher, writer, researcher and editor. I adopt senior dogs so am very aware of the issues that our older canines face. Four of mine have had eye issues so I’m very comfortable with administering eye drops and salves. I can also pill dogs, give injections and change dressings. I am able to accommodate special dietary needs. I look forward to meeting you. Why I love dog sitting While I've loved dogs my whole life, I didn't get my own dog until 2005 when I adopted Simba, a 10 year old Chinese Crested. Pixie and Marvin were seniors when I adopted them. Bizbee and Charlie were permanent fosters. I love the Chinese crested personality and cuteness! I love all dogs but especially love our senior citizens. I currently do not have a dog but will someday in the future. Watching and walking dogs is my full-time profession. All my energy is devoted to taking care of dogs. I screen dogs carefully to make sure we are a good fit. While in your home I follow your guidelines so you have peace of mind while you are away. It will be wonderful to see your dog in its familiar environment.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs & cats for the past 12 years; ranging from 8 weeks old all the way to in their senior days. My love for them is never ending! I love the cuddles & energetic or laid back personalities of each pet. I am self-employed, so I can work when I want which gives me the opportunity to be able to work for Rover! I want to be able to provide your family pet(s) with someone who is stable & available when your pet needs me! I want them to not have to continue to meet new caretakers all the time. I always ensure your fur baby is comfortable with me in their sacred space. I will continue to care for yours like I care for mine!

“Ximena was great. Very reliable & my pups loved her! Saved me on a short notice booking!”

About: Animals have been part of my life since childhood, and I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets. With experience caring for dogs and cats, I’m calm in emergencies, respectful of routines, and committed to giving your pets safe, loving care. -As a pet parent myself, I understand the worry of leaving your fur babies with someone who may not value them as much as you do. That’s why I’ve chosen to use my free time to provide safe, dependable, and loving pet care for others in or around my community! I am currently working part time/ not working so I have availability almost anytime! My weekends are very scarce, my availability is set to no but I can work out plans or deals if it’s needed but weekends will typically cost more. I personally do not offer any other services aside from walking and home drop ins! I make sure your animals stay safe by ensuring they are always safe from vehicles/animals/ and other people whenever on walks. Meaning on the proper side of my body while walking and keeping distance from other possible distractions! (Will take to dog parks/free areas that are less likely to be busy). For in home safety I make sure that there are no threats such as fire/break in while i’m at the home. As well as make sure your pets are acting as them usual selves when I come see them. (and make sure they have plenty of water and play time!)

About: I’ve always grew up around animals. My two fur babies are part of my family! We take great care of them and take our dog everywhere with us. I currently work from home and have the flexibility to talk my dog to the dog park or on a walk! We’re very active with our dogs. I have a fenced in yard! We have one dog named Bailey and one cat named Fluffy. We love our fur babies, Bailey is almost a year and loves to play with any dog she sees.

About: Ahoy! Aly here! Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I have a 6 year old pit/rott mix, named Stella who loves belly rubs, playing ball, playing in lake Texoma, and going for walks. I also have a 4 year old Golden Retriever mix named Pepper, who is a complete mama's girl! I know how worrisome it can be leaving your pet home alone. I myself have had to go out of town on several occasions and I worried about the pet sitter not taking care of Stella and Pepper as I would care for them. I understand the importance of keeping to a specific routine or diet and making sure your baby has plenty of available, clean water. Our pets are important to us, and should be loved by others as they are loved be you! And that is my promise to you! I work for myself, so I make my own schedule. I am flexible to make you time away from your pet, a more stress-free time! I will follow all instructions you provide to the letter, pets will remain leashed when not in a fenced area. If you would like me to take them to a dog park, I can, as long as it is a dog park they have already been to with you.

“Jesse was fantastic again. Came and walked my pup within the window I had requested, kept me posted on the walk, and sent photos. I came home to a happy dog! I would highly recommend Jesse’s service to anyone.”

About: Growing up I had dogs. Recently I chose to get more experience when I sat a family members’ pets while on vacation. I was to bathe, feed, and walk them. As of right now I am not working, since I have had so much time on my hands. So I decided to take up dog sitting. I’d love to get to know my clients amazing, loving dogs! I have plenty of space and a unfenced yard big enough for any size dog . I am sure to provide a comfortable, friendly service. MUST GET ALONG WITH MUCH SMALLER DOGS!

“Love having someone to love on my pups when I work!! They seem to love it too!”
