Dog Walking Lewisville

About: I am a second year veterinary student who has worked as a small animal veterinary assistant for about 3 years. I have experience in caring for senior pets and younger puppies/kittens as well. I grew up with dogs and cats, and now have a three-legged cat of my own. I am very reliable, thorough, and will care for your pets as my own. I’m currently home for the summer after my first year of vet school, so I have plenty of time to help you care for your fur babies! My current part-time work/volunteer schedule will allow me to have a flexible schedule to meet you and your pets’ needs. I have one dog and four cats at home who all get along very well and their comfort is the top priority. I will ensure your pets safety and comfort needs are met based on your instructions given. I am able to crate your animals, leash walk only if needed, and keep a close eye on them when going outside. If your animals need to be kept separate at any point such as meal time, I will be able to accommodate for that as well.

“Grace does such a good job with our pup. We always trust her with handling him, and know how highly communicative and thoughtful she is. Highly recommend!”

Sean H.

“Natalie is great with our pup! She brings her doggies to walk with our little pug (with permission of course) and it’s a big bonus to for her to meet new friends and socialize further. Very flexible, reliable and accommodating! Would definitely recommend Natalie to other pet parents without hesitation.”

Jordan W.

“Hannah is the best! Great communication, always provides updates. We are so grateful to have her watching our pups.”

Rhonda S.

“Carly was amazing, she treated Diesel like her own! Her updates were detailed, she was always on time, and my dog and I both loved her. I’ll absolutely be booking again!”

About: I started taking care of the family dog a few years ago. With him, I administered medication in a positive way and helped train him. I am comfortable using a harness and a regular collar. I also helped train my senior dog on his reactivity with positive reinforcement. Currently, I am on summer break. I work as a teacher during the school year, so my availability for the next few months is open. At my apartment, my roommate’s dog I take out every 2-3 hours and I give him lots of cuddles. I keep an eye out for anything around me to make sure it is safe.

“Wish I had a third hand so I could give her three thumbs up. She took excellent care of my dog. Even my shy cat would come up to her. Would definitely hire again.”

About: Hello all! My name is Melissa and I've been working with animals most of my life and have so loved being able to do so! On top of being a pet owner all my life, I've been an avid horseback rider which meant I was always barn sitting and pet sitting from a young age. I've cared for up to 20 horses and 6 dogs at one time, so no dog is too big :) I've worked with many sizes, breeds and personalities in dogs and I take a personalized approach when it comes to pet care. I have two of my own dogs, Oakley and Theo.If you're looking for an active household, we're definitely it! We spend most of our time on our farm and work from home part of the week. Pets have always been family to us and your pets would be treated and loved just like ours. Ask me about multi dog discounts or other pricing concerns! I have a hybrid work schedule, working from home part of the week. This gives me some flexibility for pet care during the week and on the weekends! We only keep one pet/one family’s pets at a time. We live on a quiet road with tons of space to safely run and play

About: Hello! My name is Abby and I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and plants since 2015. Pet-sitting truly is my joy!! I have experience checking in on pets during the day time, cleaning litter boxes, taking dogs of all shapes and sizes on walks, and overnight house sitting for up to 2 weeks at a time. Thanks to my daytime job as a Youth Pastor my schedule is more flexible than most. I pride myself on customizing each pet sitting experience to the pet and their owner(s). The beauty of pet sitting over boarding is that this experience can be tailored to what YOUR special needs are! Like I said my experience is considerable, I am also self taught for basic pet training. For instance, if your dog has a history of on-leash walking issues, while I’m with them I’d be happy to plant seeds for good behavior on future walks. Just say the word and I’ll do everything I can to make it happen! Historically I’ve acquired jobs mainly from word of mouth. While I may be newer to a platform like Rover, know that I am a well-seasoned pet sitter who has experience with a variety of households, breeds, ages, and situations. I pride myself on my vast skill set when it comes to pet sitting so if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask. I’m at your service! My full-time job is being a Youth Pastor. This means I have a very flexible schedule and am able to pop in to care for your pets at the needed times or even work remotely if needed. Most weeks my meetings are limited to Tuesday mornings, otherwise my schedule is pretty fluid. While I am unable to offer my own home for pet sitting, I can guarantee that I will care for your pet(s) in their home environment as well as I would my own. If you have a dog, one of my first questions I ask when pet-sitting is… “how long is your dog accustomed to waiting in between potty breaks?” I ask because each pet has different needs and I never want to make a dog wait longer than they typically would. I also want to keep to their normal schedule as much as possible, if they’re used to daily walks at certain times or being feed at very particular times then I will make notes to care for them the same way you do. The goal truly is for the dog or cat to receive the same attention and care that they have when their favorite people are home :)

“Margaret is a very patient and hard working woman! My dog is a rescue and very skittish of strangers. She barely lets anybody put on her harness. By day 2, Margaret was taking her on walks and my dog was playing with her when they got back! So as long as my dog is happy, I’m happy. Margaret is an excellent Rover dog care giver that will exceed needs and wants of your pet standards ❤️”

About: I have several years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals of all personalities and needs. From daily walks and playtime to feeding, medication, and cuddles, I make sure every pet feels loved and secure while their owners are away. I take pride in being dependable, attentive, and treating each animal like my own. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine, allowing me to give each animal the time and attention they deserve. My flexible schedule makes it easy to accommodate feeding times, walks, and check-ins, so pets stay happy and cared for without any disruption to their routine. I believe every pet deserves loving, reliable care and attention. I offer daily walks, feeding, playtime, litter box or waste cleanup, medication if needed, and overnight sitting. Whether it’s exercise, cuddles, or companionship, I make sure each pet feels safe, happy, and cared for—just like family.

About: I have always loved animals. I very much care about their comfort and wellbeing. I’m also always ready for a good puppy or kitty cuddle! I have a pretty open schedule usually. I just need a heads up in advance. For drop ins I usually prefer afternoons, but it’s interchangeable. I can stay with your dog for most of the day usually, if needed. I’d also be happy to feed, play with, and walk them.

“Tammera was so great with Mishka! Went above and beyond and always updated me!”

About: I’ve had a dog of my own for over 15 years and frequently dog sit for friends and family. I have experience caring for senior dogs, puppies, and even ski patrol dogs. I’m an active person and can provide care for active dogs via running, games, and fetch. I’m also happy to snuggle your furry friends who are missing you when you’re gone. I’m a stay at home mom to a couple of great kids and my husband works from home. All that to say that I have the freedom and flexibility to care for your pet when needed. I will treat your dog like my own while it’s in my care. I will be respectful inside your home and am happy to do any little chores as needed.

I have no problem w/ Pee Pee/Poo Poo, pad disposal, turf cleaning and walk through's to find accidents so that when you're back, you enjoy your time! Communication is key,...you tell me what you need. I have a few available weekends between now and then. I am available the weekend of Memorial day and the holiday; check my calendar! STARTING MAY30th for all your SUMMER care needs; I am available everyday and am flexible with times! I am a school teacher and can spend this interim time getting to know you and your needs prior to to your departure for vacations, outings, work trips or get-aways! One summer weekend is my vacation; dates are July 25-27th, unable to provide services.; it is a Saturday, Sunday and a Monday. Safety: Dog-My medium sized Westie (Sallie Mae) needs: Door shut immediately behind me (both glass door and hardwood door). She uses a harness/retractable leash for walks and a collar/retractable leash for short walk around house for fresh air/bathroom break. I am mindful always of any visible items on the floor that may have been dropped and could be of hazard! I also vacuum daily to reach areas under the bed for this reason also. I check that her pet stairs to my bed are placed accordingly to get accessibility to the bed. Food and water are always checked twice daily and located in 2 different parts of the house. Cat- My cat (Baby Muffin) does not try to escape to the outdoors (yet.....), however; as a precaution I rarely open my sliding glass door open largely or for any longer than necessary. I am mindful always of any visible items on the floor that may have been dropped and could be of hazard! I also vacuum daily to reach areas under the bed for this reason also. Food and water are always checked twice daily and located in 2 different parts of the house. I am always aware of her visibility, for example, if she does not appear when I am home or prior to leaving my home; I check for any closed coset doors, cabinets, etc. for a place she may have accidentally been trapped. Trust: Dog-My Westie needs immediate attention and "lovins'" when I walk through the door. Prior to leaving her she is talked to a prepped for me leaving by telling her key statements and then leaving three varieties of chew bones in front of the refrigerator (which she waits for). Trust is provided through routine and consistency. For example, everyday a You Tube video plays a repeating jazz coffee house with ambiance. I also take the measure of saying her name with happy intentions prior to entering my home to ensure she knows it is me at the door. Trust is continuing to repeat the names of her toys daily with playtime and telling her what is happening prior to a walk, etc. or getting close to dinner, bedtime or a ride/walk. Cat-My cat gets talked to immediately when arriving home to ensure she knows just how loved she is! I call her name sweetly and she's petted. She is given cat treats in her special bowl twice a day. At my house, I try to provide trust through routine and consistency. I offer her many places to sleep by herself with her special blankets and provide toys rotated for stimulation (springs, play mice and of course a random paper bag!) Environment: Sallie Mae and Baby Muffin: I have a daily routine where they are give their special treats twice a day, keeping fresh food and water available and rotated, clean bedding for their special sleeping. Our daily routine includes that the TV is left on with YouTube coffee-house jazz ambience and I always provide calming statements of affirmation for them when leaving for the day and again when arriving home. Cat- In the morning, the litterbox is cleaned with scooper and fresh litter is added as needed. I then take that trash out so that litter is not a bad fragrance when returning home. Cat hairballs are discarded as needed and floor area cleaned. Dog- Twice a week I clean a Turf system and relace turfs with clean ones while the others are rinsed and dried. Monthly grooming for her is provided through a mobile service. However; I give Sallie Mae a bath anytime it is needed with special shampoo, tepid warm water with a shower sprayer and then immediately wash and dry her towels that were used.
