Dog Walkers in Iola, TX

“Lobster is always waiting to go on his next walk”

“This is the second time I have used Brittany. The first meeting we had to see if she was a fit, she brought a checklist and asked great questions. I appreciated the attention to detail. This was the first time my nearly 13 year old Labrador had been apart from me for a full week. He did great, but it was only because of her commitment to take care of him.”

“Ashley is an absolute dream come true. There are no words to describe the love this woman has for our fur babies. She treats them like her own children. And for that I am grateful! 💕💕💕”

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and grew up with just about every pet you could think of. I have several years of experience walking dogs, pet sitting, and caring for pets of all sizes and personalities. I’m comfortable giving medication, handling basic training, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m reliable, patient, and always keep owners updated while their pets are in my care! I am currently living at home for the summer before I go back to my job in France caring for children!! So I am available pretty much everyday! Whether in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy. I follow their usual routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and medication, and keep the space clean. I also share updates and photos so owners feel at ease. My goal is to make every pet feel like family.

“She took very good care of my Pugs. I would recommend her to take care of your fur babies. I will definitely use her again.”

“Kristin has now walked out pups 4 times, and they seem to really like her! My older one can be suspicious of new people, so I really appreciated how Kristin worked with us to successfully introduce him to her, and now he loves her! She is helping us provide much needed exercise on days that I work in another city.”

About: I’ve cared for my own dog, T-Bone, for over 5 years and understand the daily needs of dogs of all ages. I also have experience walking and pet-sitting for friends and neighbors. In addition, I’ve volunteered at animal shelters, where I helped walk dogs, clean kennels, and comfort animals in a high-stress environment. That hands-on experience taught me how to handle dogs with a wide range of temperaments and needs—including shy rescues, excitable puppies, and older dogs. I’m committed to making every dog feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I have a part-time job with a flexible schedule, which allows me plenty of time to care for pets throughout the week. I’m available most mornings, afternoons, and evenings, and I’m happy to work around your dog’s routine. Since I already care for my own dog daily, walks and pet care naturally fit into my everyday life. Whether it’s a quick midday walk or an evening stroll, I’m here to make sure your pup gets the attention and exercise they need! When I’m caring for a dog, their safety and comfort come first. I always use secure leashes and harnesses during walks, avoid high-traffic or overly crowded areas, and never take on more dogs than I can safely handle at once. I take the time to get to know each dog’s personality, energy level, and triggers so I can tailor the walk to their needs. In a client’s home, I treat the space with care and respect, making sure pets are calm, happy, and safe while you’re away. I also provide regular updates so you always know your pet is in good hands!

About: I have maintained canine companionship since I was three years old!, My personal dogs were entrusted to my care right from the get-go. Since then, I have accumulated more than 25 years of animal care experience. I have also gained invaluable experience during a three-year tenure as a veterinary assistant, where I assumed the role of lead assistant. This professional role has afforded me extensive exposure to the realm of animal care, granting me a wealth of experience from daily care to emergency training. My expertise spans the entire spectrum of canine and feline diversity, encompassing dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. Rest assured, I possess the knowledge, skills, and compassion required to administer the care that each fur baby deserves. I am a graduate student in the College Station/Bryan area, working on a Ph.D. in wildlife biology. If I am not in the field conducting research, my schedule is extremely flexible to provide services at times that work best for you and your pets! My approach to caring for clients' pets is entirely guided by the specific preferences and instructions provided by the owners. I am committed to adhering to all the rules and guidelines set forth by the owners concerning the handling and care of their cherished animals.

About: My name is Lindsey. I’ve had pets my entire life and for the past eight years, I’ve started caring for others in addition to my own. I have experience caring for dogs and cats with special needs, and of all different sizes and breeds. I also offer a house cleaning service on the side :) If interested, please get in touch. Usually use Venmo as payment, if that is something you’re comfortable with My schedule currently is very open. I am only cleaning a couple houses a week and enrolled in as a part-time student. I am accepting day-of requests, however, it’s in my better favor if notified about a 3 days-a week in advance. I have a cat of my own who stays inside. As I would love to offer your pet to stay at my home, I unfortunately live in a lease that doesn’t allow dogs. I am only able to offer drop-in visits, and willing to stay with the pet if needed.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was about 7 years old. My family owns a ranch with all sorts of animals and I have always had a passion for caregiving. I’ve worked with daycare facilities, home boarding and even fostered dogs. I feel as though my experience has helped equipped me for any dog’s needs. I am full time dog mom. Here to assist with daycare, boarding, and drop-ins. I really enjoy spending time outdoors and running with the pups. Please schedule a meet and greet to best associate our pet and address your needs. I have a 3 year old male Wheaten Terrier who is head of the welcome committee. We love to play and run and share our toys with all friends. There’s a dog park that we attend daily and would love to have some friends join us. Our complex is dog friendly and in a gated community. Your dog is in the best hands with us!

About: Just a girl away for college without her cuddly friend. Looking to take care of other cutie pies. I’ve worked with older cats who take medication to young puppies. Big, small, cat, dog, I love them all! I'm a college student at Texas A&M. I am however taking an easier class load because I am about to graduate. Whoop! So I have quite a bit of free time. I just about do it all! I walk, water, feed, play, and clean up after. During my visit I also try and take the best pictures of your pet! Its always a fun time but the pictures always end up a little 🤪

“Ashley did a wonderful job walking our Toby while we were out of town.”

About: I have one year experience working at a boarding and daycare facility! I also have past volunteer experience at my local Humane Society where I provided treats and blankets for the dogs. I grew up with my 12 and 7 year old labs and they are my best friends. I love getting to know new animals and making them feel comfortable with someone other than their owner! I would love to spend my free time caring for animals and making families feel more secure with who is treating their pets! I’m fairly flexible with scheduling. I am very easy going but can also be stern when needed. I would be very excited to let animals be themselves in their home and ensure that they are safe but also still enjoying their time with me!

About: My family got our first puppy when I was only four years old, and for the last six years, I have taken care of three family dogs in addition to three cats. After living with so many animals for such a long time, I certainly know the do’s and don’t’s of pet care. I am very attentive and thorough in everything I do, especially when it comes to caring for another living being, and I will love your pets like they were my own and care for them the same way. I am a full time college student, but with classes out for the summer, I am free practically all day every day! I can provide plenty of attention for your pet without worrying about how much time it will take. I can pay as much attention to your pet as you need me to. If your dog is low energy and prefers to lay around all day, I can stay by their side and take them for bathroom breaks as often as needed. On the other hand, if your dog loves to play and run outside, I can certainly keep them entertained all day long, as well. I will be sure to follow any special instructions you have for your pet, including dietary needs, medications, specific behaviors, and anything else.

About: Growing up I always house and pet sit for my friends and neighbors. I would care for their animals and also upkeep the house if needed. I also grew up around a plethora of animals, so I have experience with all kinds! Over the summer, I am available for anything you need! I have no commitments on the weeks that I will be home, so I am here to care for or hang out with your animals. In someone’s home, I make sure the pet is comfortable with a new person around and let them feel safe in the comfort of their own home.

“Buster and I love Lezlie! It's been such a great piece of mind to know that he's getting some exercise and a potty break when I am stuck at work all day. She always gives good updates after their walks, and it brightens my day! Thanks Lezlie!”

About: Hey there! My name is Rachel and I live with my husband, our 3 year old and 4 month old daughters, 2 fur babies and our 1 kitty cat. I have many years of experience with dogs because my family growing up has always had a house (and yard) full of them. I have also offered dog-sitting to neighbors and friends/family in the past. The more wagging tails the merrier! I would be happy to offer any home visits to check on your fur babies to walk, feed or even play with them. I will also offer in-home boarding to smaller breed or medium sized dogs as long as they are not aggressive since I do have other animals and children. We have a fenced backyard and live on more than 70 acres of land where I can offer leashed walks and potty breaks. Please let me know if you have any questions and I look forward to meeting your little loves! <3 I am currently a full-time stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to spend with your doggies. I am not available major holidays but I am available on weekdays and weekends. I allow the dogs that I may be boarding inside the house, and would stick to a strict potty/feeding schedule depending on each owner and pet. I believe every dog has their own personality, much like people, and need to be tended to differently.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my deep understanding of pets' individual needs and my calm, patient approach—especially with puppies and senior animals. I have hands-on experience with basic puppy training, including crate training, housebreaking, and leash manners. I also specialize in senior pet care, from administering medications to providing gentle exercise and comfort tailored to their age and health conditions. Pet parents often tell me they feel at ease knowing I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and genuinely invested in their pet’s well-being. I treat every animal like my own—whether it’s keeping a high-energy puppy engaged with structured play or ensuring an older dog feels safe and relaxed in their routine. Additionally, I stay in close communication with owners, sending regular updates and photos, so they always feel connected. My goal is to provide not just care, but peace of mind. I am currently on my summer break so I am free for most of July and August! Once school starts I won’t be able to board many animals because I will be gone but I would still be available to walk animals or go over to a house and feed/let out your pet! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or my client’s home, my priority is always to create a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment tailored to each pet’s needs. In My Home: I offer a calm, pet-friendly space with plenty of room to play and rest. I follow each pet’s routine closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, or medication—so they feel secure and at ease. I provide plenty of mental stimulation through toys, training games, and cuddles, and I make sure they get the right amount of exercise based on their energy level and age. Pets are never left alone for long periods, and I always maintain a clean, supervised environment. In My Client’s Home: I respect the home as much as I do the pet. I maintain the pet’s usual schedule to help minimize stress while their owner is away. That includes sticking to walk times, feeding routines, administering medications, and giving them the attention and affection they’re used to. I also keep the home tidy, water plants if needed, bring in mail, and send regular updates with photos and notes to keep clients fully informed. No matter the location, I treat every pet as if they were my own—with love, patience, and consistent care.

About: I’ve shown livestock for years and pet sit on multiple occasions for neighbors and friends. I have a pup of my own that has definitely kept me on my feet. Having dogs most of my life I’ve learned how to bathe, train, and take care of dogs. I’m a student here in town so I have plenty if time to play with pups! I am available after noon Monday-Thursday and all day Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I have a pup of my own who will happily play with anyone. We spend time at the dog park consistently to help keep her energy down. I don’t have a fenced yard so pups will have to be somewhat lease trained!
