Dog Walking in McKinney

About: I have worked at a veterinary hospital as a surgical assistant in the past to fulfill my passion for helping animals. I throughly enjoyed the medical aspect of working at the hospital and crave personal interactions with clients and pets. I can not remember ever having less than three pets at one time while growing up (as my family is just as passionate about animals as I am). This meant that for many years I took care of my own pets as well as neighbors. When I got older I began to volunteer at different organizations to gain animal-handling experience. Throughout college I was also a pet sitter through different programs. When I graduated I interned at a wildlife sanctuary and eventually began working where I am now. I enjoy having a positive impact on the pets and people I get the opportunity to work with. I am currently working part-time, so my schedule is flexible. I will be available throughout the week and weekend unless otherwise noted on my calendar. I hope to spend time with your furry friends, soon! One of my main priorities is safety when watching clients animals. I understand how crucial it is to follow boundaries put in place to maintain pet safety. From personal experience I have learned to be vigilant and aware when watching animals. I know how to read animal body language and anticipate actions. I have three cats that are full of curiosity and like to venture if doors are left open. Therefore, I make an effort to be very mindful when leaving and coming home. I also have experience with anxious or high energy pets.

“Thank you for your help walking my boy! Appreciate going above and beyond!”

“Ashley did an incredible job taking care of Bronxy and truly helped both of us out while I was working. As a teacher and coach, my days can get really long, and knowing Bronxy was being cared for by someone dependable, kind, and attentive gave me a ton of peace of mind. She was communicative, professional, and clearly cared about making sure Bronxy was comfortable and happy. You can tell she genuinely loves animals, and Bronxy immediately connected with her. I’m extremely grateful for her help and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pet.”

“I had never hired a dog walker until I met Joshna and her family. Before our 1st scheduled walk they came by for a quick meet and greet which was very nice and really took the time to get to know our fur baby. I now book them on a regular basis and I can’t express enough how great they are!! I’d definitely recommend them to friends and fam!”

About: Do you have experience with young dogs, old dogs, dogs with special needs, dogs on medication and dogs needing lots of love and exercise. We love to play in this house and are very engaged with your pet. We have two doggy doors and 3 years experience. We are an active family and are willing to play, comfort, and make your pet feel at home. We are looking for pets that have no hostility or history of abuse but rather are comfortable with children. We have experience with all sizes of dogs up to Italian Mastif sized. It would be a blessing to help watch your furry family member. Must love long walks in the grass and running about. Lots of love and snuggles. Party of 5 We are an active, family-oriented household, and someone is home most of the time, which allows us to provide plenty of potty breaks, playtime, and one-on-one attention throughout the day. We love getting outside for walks and activities, but we're just as happy spending quiet time giving belly rubs and snuggles. Your pet will be treated like part of the family and will receive lots of love, care, and companionship while you're away. Providing a safe, loving, and low-stress environment is my top priority. For dogs staying in our home, we have a secure, board-on-board fenced backyard with locked gates and a doggy door that allows them safe access to the outdoors for potty breaks and play. Because someone is home most of the time, pets receive plenty of supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day. For cats, we create a calm and enriching environment with cozy spaces to relax, plenty of areas to explore, and windows where they can enjoy watching the world go by. I understand that every cat has a different personality, so I take the time to follow their individual routines and comfort levels. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect their established schedules and routines to help them feel safe and comfortable while their family is away. Whether it's feeding, walks, litter box maintenance, medications, playtime, or lots of affection, I care for every pet as though they were one of my own.

About: I grew up with dogs and recently potty trained our 2-year-old puppy! With experience using Rover, I understand what makes a stay great and what’s needed to make dog owners feel comfortable leaving their pets in a new environment! As a teacher, I’m fully available on weekends and can offer drop-ins and potty breaks in the evenings during the week. When I’m not in school, I’m ready and excited to take care of your pup!

About: With over 25 years of pet care experience, I have a lifelong passion for animals. I grew up surrounded by pets and have cared for many throughout my life. In recent years, I’ve also served as a foster parent for cats and kittens, gaining extensive hands-on knowledge in feline care, including administering medications both orally and by injection when needed. I’m a single mother to my 7-year-old son, lovingly nicknamed the “cat whisperer,” who shares my deep love for animals and enjoys gently playing with our furry guests. I run my own business from home and homeschool my son, which means we are true homebodies — your pets will receive plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. Our home is thoughtfully set up to be a safe and enriching environment for cats and dogs, with multiple scratching posts, cozy hiding spaces, and comfortable beds for rest and relaxation. Cleanliness is extremely important to us, and we take pride in maintaining exceptionally clean litter boxes and living spaces to ensure a healthy, stress-free environment for your pet. We only consider hosting dogs in our home if the dog currently lives with a cat. Having cats myself I would never risk taking in a dog who is not fully adapted to cats. Safety is most important to protect my cats and yours. We absolutely love caring for dogs as well through dog walking, house sitting, and drop-in visits. I look forward to providing exceptional care for your pet so they feel comfortable, loved, and right at home while you’re away. I work from home and run my own business, which gives me a flexible schedule. Additionally, I homeschool my son, so we’re able to care for and spend quality time with animals throughout the day. Your pets will receive plenty of love and attention while in our care. We maintain a very safe environment for pets, ensuring that anything potentially toxic, like flowers and plants, is kept out of reach. We're always vigilant about keeping doors and windows securely closed. With a seven-year-old in the house, we prioritize safety in every aspect of our home.

“Angel is such a blessing. I went on vacation for 19 days and she walked my dog everyday. She's reliable and so sweet! I will definitely be using Angel again. Thanks Angel! I am so lucky to have found you!”
