Dog Walking Midland

About: With the exception of a few years during college, I have always had animals in my life! I grew up always having a cat and a dog in the house and taking progressively more responsibility for their care as I got older. Now, I'm owned by two dogs (a boxer mix and a lab mix) and two cats, one of which followed my boxer and I home one day and decided to stay. They are by far the best part of my day. With all these fur babies, I've run the gauntlet of pet care challenges, from pilling cats, to dealing with allergies, to working on behaviors like marking and excessive barking. I don't claim to have it all figured out, but what I do know is that it's made me incredibly patient and compassionate with any animals in my care. Plus I've learned a trick or two along the way! I currently work for myself (from home) as a research consultant. While I do have periodic meetings throughout the week, I usually have a significant amount of flexibility in my schedule during the mornings and afternoons. I often find myself going out on multiple long walks throughout the day and generally finding any excuse I can to be outside. So why not use that time to hang out with some new animal friends? My flexible schedule means that I can accommodate most any pet needs. I go for multiple walks every day both on my own and with my own dogs, so it's easy to incorporate lots of activity in your pet's day. I also have an enclosed front porch that we all love sitting outside in the shade on, just enjoying the fresh air. And on hot days, I even have a kiddie pool that one of my dogs likes to play in to cool off. Both my dogs are very friendly and would love to make new friends! One of my cats even enjoys horsing around with the dogs. My dogs have free reign in the house, but usually hang out with me. I'm happy to have your dog(s) make themself at home as well or to crate them if that's your preference.

About: Hi! I’m an experienced animal care professional with 15 years of experience as a zookeeper, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of caring for and working with all kinds of species, giving me a deep understanding of animal behavior, individual needs, and the importance of patience, compassion, and trust. Whether your pet is playful and energetic, shy and nervous, senior, or simply loves some extra attention, I’m comfortable meeting them where they are and providing care tailored to their personality and routine. I know how important it is to feel confident that your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I treat every animal in my care as an individual and take pride in providing dependable, attentive, and loving care. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your pets and give them the same care and attention I would want for my own! I work from home with a flexible part-time schedule, giving me plenty of time and availability to provide attentive care and drop-in visits for your pets. Since I have pets of my own, I primarily focus on drop-in visits. However, I’m always happy to discuss other options to find the best arrangement for you and your pets.

“Kiley was good with communicating with me and was sweet with my dog, however, I booked a 30-minute walk and my dog was only walked for about 20 minutes, with the total visit lasting around 23 minutes. I expected to receive the full time I booked and paid for. She also brought her daughter without discussing it with me beforehand. Thankfully, my dog loves children, so it wasn't an issue for us, but I do think this is something that should be approved by the pet owner in advance.”

About: I've been taking care of dogs of all sizes for the past several years for family, friends and other neighbors. I have the most experience with small/medium dogs but have occasional experience with larger dogs. I'm currently a full time teacher so I would be available after school August-May and any time through June to the beginning of August. For my own pets I have crate trained and supervise their time outside. For family and friends pets that I have cared for and walked I follow the owners preferences for care.

“Jessica was great with Hunter! Thanks for taking such good care of Hunter. He enjoyed all the walks.”

About: We’ve always had dogs, so naturally that love grew! Ive always loved walking and running. Put them together and that’s a dream job! Dog walker! I work in the mornings and have free afternoons and weekends! I have the option to work from home if needed to be more available! We have many, many walking trails and we love to walk! I am comfortable walking all size dogs. I am not afraid of picking up poop!

About: I’ve had dogs since I was born and began caring for them as soon as I was able! I also have pet sat for friends and family in the past and have been doing Rover for around 2 years! I have a strong love for animals and find it hard to pass by a dog or cat or even squirrel in the street without saying hello. I would love to meet more pets and would find joy in taking cute pictures of them and playing with them! I also currently have 3 cats who are the best lil friends ever. I have off on Wednesdays and half days on Fridays which gives me lots of time for animal cuddles! I would love to find some pets to walk/ feed/ play with! In a clients home I would respect their rules and wishes, and ensure I give the pet lots of attention, that they are fed on time, and any medications are given when needed.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes; ranging from Chihuahuas to Labradors. Raised my 3 month pup till he was 16 so I can handle a dog at any phase. Currently I have no other job which means my schedule is quite flexible. My availability is Monday-Friday from 10am-10pm. New clients have to request a day before because setting up takes time. Clients already on file get 12hrs or less, depending on how booked I am. I would make sure a dog approaching is friendly and if yours is not I’d go another route to avoid complications. When I walk my dogs I make sure they poop before heading home so the same would go for yours. I would not try cutting the 1hr walk short.

“Gloria was great. Easy to work with and sent great pics of the pup!”

About: My experience started when i was about 14. I started watching family dogs and cats for money and it slowly became a passion. I work now at a dog resort which has daycare, boarding, bathing, and is now adding training. There I do bathing services, doggy daycare, feeding, administering medication. And that includes Cats as well. My aunt fosters cats/kittens and I have raised 2 dogs starting at month 3 as my grandpa adopted puppies. I helped and have experience with both little puppies and kittens. I love animals so much. I am super happy with this passion and hope to experience and learn more in the future. And am excited to work with you! I work currently at a Resort facility who works with both cats and dogs. And our goal is to provide a safe and comfortable environment for your pets. I work day to day in that facility walking, feeding, medicating, and so much more. I have learned so much about animal behavior and have a pet of my own at home who I take care of day to day. So i work with pets daily. It will depend on what service you are looking for. I can do a basic bath for your pet in your home. (No nail trimming, and you would provide the bath and products you would like used.) For Boarding, either coming to me or me coming to you I can provide playtimes, long/short walks, administration of medication, litter-box cleaning, and more. For walks I can do walks in the neighborhood or take your dog to a dog park! And so much more! I am open to suggestions and ideas of what I can add/offer!

“Jackelin is awesome! I highly recommend her. She helped me care for my special needs bichons with patience and kindness.”

About: I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or relaxing at home, I’ll tailor my care to their individual needs and routine. I’m experienced with administering oral medications, following detailed care instructions, and providing plenty of exercise, enrichment, affection, and one-on-one attention. My goal is to keep your dog happy, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away. I have had a Sheltie, and currently have a Great Pyrenees. In addition I have fosters dogs young and old, big and small. I live on a farm, so caring for animals is part of my everyday life. Each morning starts with feeding and caring for the animals in the barn before tending to the pets in the house. I enjoy taking my dog for evening walks and spending time riding my horses during the day. Animals have always been a central part of my life, and I truly enjoy providing them with the care, attention, and love they deserve. I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers quiet cuddles on the couch, I’ll make sure they receive the same love, attention, and routine they’re used to at home. What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including guinea pigs, rats, hedgehogs, birds, emus, horses, dogs, cats, rabbits, lizards, and chickens. Caring for so many different species has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to read animal behavior and body language—skills that help me provide calm, attentive, and compassionate care for every pet. As a pet owner myself, I know how difficult it can be to find someone you truly trust with your animals. That’s why my goal is simple: to care for every pet as if they were my own, giving them the love, attention, and comfort they deserve while giving you complete peace of mind while you’re away. Pets staying with me will have access to a securely fenced yard where they can safely play and explore. They’re welcome on the furniture and bed if that’s what they’re accustomed to at home—I want them to feel as comfortable as possible. If you’d like, your dog can socialize with my friendly, spayed Great Pyrenees in the fenced yard. If your dog prefers their own space or isn’t comfortable around other dogs, I’m happy to keep them completely separate and provide individual walks and one-on-one attention instead. Please note that the fenced yard includes a swimming pool. All outdoor time is supervised, and I take every precaution to ensure your pet’s safety.

About: I have been taking care of the animals of close friends and family since I was 19 years old. In addition to taking care of cats and dogs, I am also an experienced farm hand. I have taken care of horses, chickens, donkeys, and Alpacas. Whatever your pet needs are, I can do it. I am currently doing volunteer work on Tuesdays, but am available every other day of the week. Early mornings and afternoons work best for me, but I am available later in the evening when needed I can do feedings, walks, drop ins, and full night stays. I can also administer oral medication. I have a dog of my own and she gets daily medication I give her myself.
