Dog Walkers in Lakeside, TX

About: Hi! I grew up showing dogs in AKC and 4-H, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I’ve spent time around dogs and cats, and I really just love being around animals. I have two cats of my own now, and I treat every pet like they’re part of the family. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.

Boarding: Cozy, supervised care in a home environment with lots of attention. Drop-Ins: Feeding, fresh water, cleanup if needed, and quality time with your pet. Dog Walking: Safe, relaxed walks tailored to your dog’s pace and energy level. I also have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets consistent attention and accommodate different care needs throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities.

Including be not limited to, insulin injections, seizure protocols, day to day medications, etc… I also am getting certified through the Karen Pryor Academy for training puppies. I’m am currently open full time, planning to go back to school in the fall. I taken care of my own fur babies throughout the day with walks and mental stimulating puzzles.

“Emily is great! She communicates well, is super sweet, and our dog loves his walks with her. She has been so helpful and I would recommend her to anyone who needs some help with their fur baby!”

Kennedey S.

“Was very helpful accepting my request last minute. Came here for a meet and greet and was very curious about any potential trial issues my dog may have while out on walks. Was very good at communicating when she was coming and when she arrived and even saved me when I accidentally overlooked that she was booked for ongoing walks and a payment was submitted that should not have gone through. Highly recommended from this customer. Hard to find someone willing to take on the challenges of walking a large breed Cane Corso like mine.”

About: Growing up, I’ve always been a cat owner and my parents have always owned dogs. I’ve always looked after our animals, especially when my parents were out of town or just out for a few hours! I know our animals mean the most to us, so I make sure they get pampered like they deserve! I also love to see all types of pet personalities and what makes them thrive happily! I plan to do this part-time and currently have a completely free schedule for any pet owner in need. To mornings, evenings, and even nights..! Just like I do to my pets, I’ll pampers yours as well. From basic needs, to even bathing and grooming (Just nails being trimmed and brushing)! If your pets have any medications, I make sure those are given to the pet at the times they’re needed. I also make sure that all pets get out all the energy they need like walks, running around in your backyard, and even a cute game of tug-of-war and fetch. Every pet has an attitude and voice that I make sure is heard!

About: I've been taking care of animals in some capacity my entire life. I'm going to study zoology to continue this pattern, as I want to work with animals in a more professional setting and learn more about them. Animals genuinely are my purpose in life, meaning you can trust me to be caring and loving with your pets. My only true commitment is classes I'm taking at a community college. I only am taking a couple classes a semester though, meaning I have a lot of free time. I do also volunteer at an animal shelter, but I am able to choose my schedule for that, meaning it shouldn't be an issue. I love taking photos of pets and will make sure to send them to you, so you can see they're doing well. I love to play with dogs, or cuddle if they're comfortable with me. If your dog knows any tricks, I'm happy to take them through what they know to help keep their mind engaged and calm them down.

About: I’ve always been around dogs my entire life and had many puppies I’ve had to taken care of and nurture after. I absolutely love dogs and all animals in general, a little more than humans, lol. This is a new account for myself but I have dog sitter multiple times with my mom for her clients and helped her out, so I am not new to this. I’m good with training and disciplining dogs, especially with behavior correction. I understand how to handle dogs of all natures, including puppies and senior dogs, dogs with different and special needs, and dogs that love attention. Professionally sitting other people’s dogs, I have about 3 years of experience but in general, dogs have always been apart of my life! As of now, I am currently unemployed as I am trying to get into my local police department. In the meantime, I would like to make some extra money and do so by doing the thing I love to care for most, animals and dogs! If you crate your dog, that will be done. If you want your dog out but need certain things done before hand, done. The safety of your animals are super important to me and making sure they are taken care of is top priority!!

About: 🌴 WHO WILL HAVE A BETTER VACATION YOU OR YOUR PUP? 🚤 📸 Here at DOODS ON DOCKS they will have a great staycation on our beautiful lake property. Enjoy your vacation knowing your dog will be as happy as you are over the holidays or your time away. With my services you get what you pay for. Your dog is a family member. They are not left outside, or in a kennel. They're a part of our home. They sleep with us and do everything we do. I have 30 years experience working with dogs through volunteering and fostering thru the Humane Society and Rescues. I'm very dog savey and most dogs realize I am the pack leader and rely on me for that. I have clients that have senior dogs that require meds, and personal care. This is not a problem. What sets me apart from most pet sitters is that I go above and beyond for the pups. Someone is home 90% of the time. I have had clients that have been with me for many years. At my house you get what you pay for and more. It looks easy and fun on my part however, there’s alot that goes into it besides all the scooping….. Starting with reservations. I always have a free meet and greet. I consider all the dogs I will be having at that time to see if all my guests will enjoy their experience, and how I need to accommodate them. As they arrive, and while they’re here I still study each personality to see who can play together and who would rather just “stay out of it”. Since the dogs live in the house like my own pets, I want to make sure everyone is happy. No dog is crated or kenneled unless that is what the dog requires. There’s outside play time at least twice a day. Which might involve chasing a ball, squirrel, duck, or swimming in the lake, or lounging in the sun. If you need a staycation for your pet where they will come home exhausted and happy, let me know. 1. I can pick up and deliver your pup if needed for an extra fee. 2. I live on the lake. 3. I can also bath and do light grooming if needed including nails. 4. 📸 But the most important thing is that pictures and communication cell 📱 📞 with the pups parents are sent many times a day so that you know your dog is safe, and basically having a blast here at my house. We live on the lake so there's lots of room to run and play, however we do have a dog area with a doggie door so they can come and go. All dogs live inside with us and sleep in our room if they want to. My family works from home so someone is here most of the time. My personal dogs are use to having dogs visit us at home and it's never an issue. All dogs are treated like our own and loved. Their needs are always accommodated so that their parents can feel assured that they are well taken care of without any worries while they are gone. I have a doggie area that is large that the dogs can use with a doggie door. This area also has our hot tub so they often play outside or "talk" to us while we use the hot tub. I have a large back yard that the dogs can enjoy while we are there to supervise them. Dogs are not left unattended in the back yard. I live on a quiet one way street with neighbors only to the left and right of me. We all know each others dogs and can identify them.

About: Hi, I’m Megan! I’ve cared for animals my entire life, volunteered at shelters, and worked as a kennel tech and vet assistant. I’m currently studying to become a vet and have plenty of free time as I’m off for the summer before I start vet school. I’m passionate about animals and offer reliable, loving care, whether it’s walking, administering medication, or just giving your pet attention. Your pet will be in great hands! I just graduated with my Bachelors and have been accepted into veterinary school to be apart of the class of 2030! Right now I’m trying to save up money before moving in August.

About: I have experience through my own rescue puppy and Pet Smarts training program training and raising him from 6 weeks old to now just shy of 8 months old. I also have a 6 year old husky named Zeus, and have helped take care of my parents elderly dog Chuey who unfortunately has a collapsed trachea and arthritis. Having labs throughout my childhood, I've also had to care for dogs in the midst of a seizure. I am currently working part time on a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to love and care for your precious furry friends! Due to having a puppy in training myself, as well as other animals in the house I am not boarding. However, I can house/pet sit, walk, feed, and play virtually any time! I love to tend to whatever needs are specific to your animal! If they need a lot of enrichment or they are very energetic, I have so much fun getting that lovely energy out with them! If they need more rest, gentle care, and supervision, I'm more than happy to carefully love your baby with lots of soft pets! Walks are also essential to any dog's routine, and I promise to take long ones when needed. As for cats, I strive to keep their environment as clean as possible so they can be more comfortable and hygienic.
