Dog Walking McKinney

About: I have worked in the pet industry for 16+ years. I have worked as a tech assistant, kennel worker, dog walker and caretaker in 2 veterinary practices. I have owned an operated a small dog grooming business. I have boarded many of my clients dogs in my residence. I am reliable, trustworthy, kind, compassionate and funny. I have a little Yorkie that is truly my heart! I adore him and could not imagine life without him. I LOVE dogs! I always treat any dog that is in my care as if they were my own. They are a part of the family and I can assure you that this is how they will be treated in my care. I consider it an honor to be able to take care of doggies.

“Gil Roy is an amazing dog walker! Very communicative and positive. He’s great with dogs, and you can tell he really cares. Highly recommend!! : )”

About: I’m Jacob, a full time nurse, looking for a side hustle to help pay off my student loans :) If you trust me with your pet(s) I will make them my top priority. I will shower them with attention, and take lots of pictures to update you with about our day. I work 3 days a week. I have plenty of free time during the week for your pet’s needs. It would be such a fulfilling past time for me to care for your animals. I live alone in a quiet apartment with no other animals. There’s a good amount of space. Quick and easy walk to the trail around lady bird lake.

“Amie is amazing! She saved the day when I needed a last-minute, late-night walker for my pup. She was super patient as I struggled to figure out my remote security system too! And she showed my pup a lot of love. Choose her!!!!”

About: I started pet sitting when I was 18 to earn some extra money in college, and I’ve been doing it ever since. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and sizes, and I’m great at following special instructions. Additionally, photography is a hobby of mine, so there’s a pretty good chance that you’ll get some good pics of your pet in the process. I’m currently in graduate school, so I have a good amount of flexibility in my schedule, whether it’s during the week or over the weekend. I know how important your pet is as a member of your family! I’m happy to meet their needs, whether it’s walking, playing, belly-rubbing, or comforting them.

“Thanks for the details on walks and her behavior. I appreciate the care you are providing.”

“Andrew filled in when another Rover had to cancel our walk, and he was so stellar that we decided to keep him! He is extremely responsive and professional and always gives a report which is so helpful! Thank you for helping me take care of my floofs, Andrew!!”

About: I’ve personally taken care of dogs and cats for over the last 15 years and currently have my own pup! I have never met a dog I didn’t immediately love and my partner calls me a dog whisperer because of how great I can bond with them. I currently work full time at Dirty Dog - Grooming and Boarding so my schedule is very fluid and I’m often available during the day on weekdays as well as weekends. My partner also works from home so there is always an extra set of helping hands when needed! In my time off, I enjoy reading, paddle boarding on the lake, practicing yoga, and a new hobby of mine - rock painting! I would love to add taking care of other people’s fur babies to my list of activities (: In my own home, my dog and dogs I’m sitting will get frequent walks and visits to the local dog park. We also have plenty of space and toys for animals to enjoy themselves inside my home. In terms of trust, I will always follow a pets lead when it comes to how they’re feeling and what their needs are. Making sure an animal feels comfortable and safe will always be top priority.

About: I am a teacher on summer vacation, so my time is very open and flexible! I am available at times you might need someone for a walk or a potty break or even just a check on your fur baby! I have dog sat for many of my friends dogs, including large and small. I fostered a tiny pup for about 3 weeks and loved playing, walking, and snuggling on the couch. I am happy to take your pup on a walk, let them out to potty, or just make sure they are getting some play time while you are busy! I am available weekdays during the normal work hours. I am a teacher on summer vacation, so I am able to help out with those day time tasks! If a pet needs to come to my house, I have a doggy door and fenced in yard. I have no allergies and am happy to play with, snuggle, or give some treats to your baby!

About: I have had dogs and cats all my life (also fish, hamsters, mice, and a hedgehog). From puppies and kittens to elderly chihuahuas and grouchy senior cats, I have handled it all. I routinely care for pets for my friends and family and am happy to care for your babies too. I'm recently retired so I have a lot of time on my hands! I'm happy to administer medication or cater to your pet in whatever ways they need. I recently retired from my full-time job and will be mostly at home doing a little contract work here and there. I already care for my own five pets (or six if you count the fish) and can easily add yours to the mix. I will listen to what your pet needs and accommodate whatever it is they need/want. I am used to dealing with a diverse group of pets and providing each of them with what they need.

About: I grew up taking care and loving dogs! I grew up with 3 at home and now a beautiful one of my own. I am a very attendant caretaker. I will make sure they are being loved, fed, walked and never neglected! I have administered medicine and will do specific care for the needs of any pet. :) I currently work on my own schedule so I am very flexible with walking or taking care of your baby. My boyfriend also works from home half of the week, so there is always someone around! If not, we never leave for longer than 2 hours! We have a sole inside pet and yours would be too! We take him on walks around the neighborhood, and take him to the dog park inside our community. We will make sure your pet is comfy and happy. Whether they are crate trained, sofa sleepers or bed sleepers. We will allow whatever’s most comfortable!

“James was awesome with my new puppy! Our adoption timeline got moved up and he was completely accommodating to do a last minute meet and greet and recurring dog walk appointment.”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was little, always willing to take in animals no matter the species. Dogs, cats etc. every animal as always had a home even if was for a short period. I am currently a college student, staying in Austin only for the summer I leave in August on the 19th , while doing this a as side gig I typically have 3 days off every week and I can work after I get of work. I work at a Panda Express near Leander. I do well to take care of animals, long walks and trips to parks. Animals cannot stay with me as I stay with my father and we take of stray cats :)

About: Heeyyy! I’m Nicci, a life long Austinite, I’m a Mom to two minions, two cats, and a dog. I’m an artist who enjoys going on long walks (hopefully with your dog…🤞) I’m really flexible schedule wise. I don’t mind administering medication if needed. I’m good with all stages of life - puppy/kitties to seniors and anyone in between. I would be happy to help you out with whatever companion care needs you may have. I’m a single mom working the hustle job life. So in some ways I’m a stay at home mom and in other ways I’m a never stop working kind of mom with the privilege of working around the clock when it works best for me. This means I’m home during the weekdays for a great majority of the day, weekends I work more during the days but nothing crazy and I’m home every night of the week. I walk my kids to school every morning and then I continue with a lengthy walk for myself. Your dog would love it! My apartments have a very large fenced in dog park and multiple designated dog potty areas. I’m a leashed walker unless in a fenced in area where they can run and play.

“Our boy loves walks with Lillian! We’ve been regulars with Lillian for a few months now. She is dependable, responsive, and flexible if plans change or we need coverage. Thank you for taking such good care of our guy!”

I work a 8-4 Monday-Friday job but am available after 4:30pm anywhere in Austin and during the week and midday for South Austin visits/walks. I currently the proud parent of an orange tabby and regularly dog and cat sit. I love a chance to meet a new buddy. I am a quick drive to anywhere in Central Austin and work down south for an after work or lunch hour walk. Always looking for an excuse to go for a walk and I would love to show your fur baby around. Message me to see if I can care for your pet while away! - Becky I have a cat and regularly feed and clean litter box and exercise him. I love when I’m watching a dog to go out on a quick and then longer walk in the day. I like to give the animal the first time I meet them some space and let them approach me. I always want to make sure the animal knows I’m here as well for their socialization

“Happy to have Jessica as a dog walker and house sitter whenever I have to leave town. Thanks for being so awesome and taking care of miss Frida!”
