Pet care experience

I'd love to walk/run with your dog!

Hi! I'm a medical student and Houston native. Unfortunately, being a full-time student means I don't have the time to have a dog, but I love running and dogs and would be happy to help anyone with a busy schedule and an active pup by taking their dog for a run/walk. I've had dogs for the past 15 years and have experience with training, interacting with, and walking dogs. My family has owned both large and small dogs so I am able to handle walking all sizes. I look forward to exploring the parks in Houston with a dog and helping people with packed schedules have happy healthy dogs! Please contact me if you have a dog that you'd like walked (willing to schedule weekly walks).

Amber is a very kind and attentive person who has been around pets for years. She is patient even with the most unruly and has had years of experience walking dogs of all kinds. I would highly recommend her for any pet care service!

Amber is a very responsible young woman. She loves dogs of all kinds. She is very reliable, when she agrees to do something she always sees it through to the end. She took care of my dog while I was out of the country for 4 weeks and there were absolutely no problems. I would trust Amber with my fur baby anytime.

Schedule

I keep a very organized calendar and only open up my availability on the specific days and weekends when I am completely free. Because I work in a hospital, I use my scheduled days off and post-call days to focus on dog walks, drop-in visits, and boarding, which is the perfect way for me to step away from work and get some quality animal time. When you see that I am available, it means I have zero conflicting commitments. Whether I'm taking your dog out for a walk or hanging out with your cat, your pet will have my prompt, reliable, and undivided attention, and I'll keep their exact feeding and care routines running like clockwork.

Safety, trust & environment

When I’m caring for your pet—whether it’s a dog walk, a drop-in visit, or boarding at my apartment—my main goal is to keep their routine exactly as you left it. On walks and drop-ins, I’m focused on safety, following your feeding and locking-up instructions, and leaving your home exactly how I found it. If a pet is boarding at my place on the Upper East Side, they’ll get a calm, quiet, and clean space to relax. I really respect an animal's unique boundaries—especially cats, who I let approach me on their own terms, and I stay on top of daily litter box scooping to keep them comfortable. No matter the service, I’m big on communication, so you can always expect quick text updates and photos so you know everything is running smoothly!

A typical day

For dogs, I love making our time outside the highlight of their day. We’ll head out for long walks around the neighborhood, exploring new sights and smells, or taking a relaxed stroll to a nearby park to get some fresh air and exercise. For cats, "fun" is all about what makes them comfortable. If they are playful, I love using wand toys or laser pointers to get them moving. If they’re more laid-back, fun looks like a quiet brushing session, offering a few favorite treats, or just hanging out on the couch together while I catch up on reading, so they have some calm, reassuring company.

To make sure your pet has the absolute best experience, it’s really helpful for me to know their normal routine and any unique quirks ahead of time. For dogs, I’d love to know how they do on a leash, if they have any favorite neighborhood routes, and how they react when they see other dogs on a walk. For cats, it’s great to know their favorite hiding spots, their general personality (whether they prefer a lot of space or love being right next to you), and their exact feeding and litter preferences. Knowing any specific triggers that might make them anxious helps me keep their environment entirely stress-free!
