“Eloise has been absolutely wonderful with Tiny! 🐾❤️ She is kind, caring, dependable, and great about communicating with me after their walks. I especially appreciate how attentive she is to Tiny’s needs and how she adjusts their walks during the Texas heat to make sure Tiny stays safe, comfortable, and happy. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing Tiny is in such caring and responsible hands while I’m at work. Tiny really enjoys her time with Eloise, and I can tell Eloise genuinely cares about her and enjoys spending time with her as well. Finding someone you can trust with your dog means so much, and Eloise has truly been a blessing. I’m incredibly grateful for all of her help and the wonderful care she gives Tiny. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker! 🐾❤️”
About: I’ve been volunteering at animal shelters since I was 15, and I’ve also had the joy of having two dogs throughout my life. My current pups are a Boxer mix and a Pit mix who I absolutely adore! I’ve always been the go-to person for my family and friends when it comes to taking care of their pets. I truly love animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby and give them all the love, attention, and care they deserve! I currently work full-time from home with a flexible remote schedule, which gives me ample time and availability throughout the day to give your furry baby the attention, love, and care they deserve. Whether your pet needs a quick midday potty break, a neighborhood stroll, or just company while you’re away, I’m here to help! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my highest priorities. I strictly follow owner instructions, whether that means adhering to precise crate schedules, maintaining house rules, or honoring specific feeding times. You can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is with someone who treats their safety, routine, and unique care instructions with complete dedication.
About: Gentle giant whose goal is to walk a great dane!! Despite my height (6'11) I've only ever had great experiences with pets and being understanding. I've spent the last year raising a black Labrador named gauge from 2 weeks old and he's my best friend. I've dog sat for most family members on multiple occasions as my "side hustle". I've also got 2 kittens at home who are spoiled rotten. It would be an honor to take care of your little or not so little blessings!! Schedule is pretty open as I've relocated from east Texas into the area just recently. I'm almost always free to walk or drop in on any short notice :) Attention to detail!! Any specific rules or regimens will be followed just how you tell/show me. Keeping them comfortable and full of joy whether that be at home and/or having some time outside is my goal! Thank you for your consideration :)
About: I’ve been around dogs for basically my whole life, they’ve always been a big part of my world. Because of that, caring for animals feels very natural to me. I’ve helped take care of pets for friends, family, neighbors, and pretty much anyone who needed an extra hand. I’m comfortable with different breeds, sizes, and temperaments, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just giving them love and attention, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pets with someone, and I pride myself on being dependable, patient, and genuinely caring. Pet care fits really naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy staying active and keeping a structured schedule. I’m used to organizing my day around responsibilities, so things like walks, feeding times, playtime, and check-ins are easy for me to stay consistent with. I genuinely like being around animals, so caring for them never feels like a task it’s something I actually enjoy. My routine and flexibility allow me to give pets the attention, patience, and care they need throughout the day. When I care for pets, I focus on making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for at all times. I pay close attention to their routines, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or just giving them attention and affection. I understand that every pet has a different personality and needs, so I try to adjust my approach to what makes them feel most at ease. I’m very patient, gentle, and attentive, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. My goal is always to make sure both the pets and their owners feel happy and stress-free.

I’ll feed them breakfast if that’s in their routine. Play with them in my apartment and then take them out again in the afternoon. I’ll then feed them dinner around 6-7 and then take them out once more.

About: I have a Russian blue and a Siberian husky.

Professionalism and etiquette will always be maintained and going above and beyond what I’m obligated to do is never an issue when considering the wellbeing of others and or pets.
About: My dog, LJ Gibbs, is around 8 years old, and he truly is a man's best friend. I love playing with him, taking him on walks, feeding him, and honestly just learning who he is as a dog. Having Gibbs has taught me that every dog has their own personality, habits, and way of communicating. I enjoy getting to know those little things and understanding what makes each dog comfortable and happy. Right now I have a pretty flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to fit pet care into my day. I already make time for my own dog, LJ Gibbs, whether it’s feeding him, taking him for walks, playing with him, or just spending time together. Taking care of a dog is already part of my everyday routine, so caring for another one fits naturally into my schedule. When I’m caring for a pet in someone else’s home, I want them to feel as comfortable as possible. I’ll follow the routine you already have in place, whether that means feeding times, walks, playtime, or just hanging out with them. I know every dog is different, so I’ll take the time to learn their personality and what they’re comfortable with. I’ll also treat your home with the same respect I’d want someone to show mine.
About: I just adore dogs of any kind I do feel like dogs have souls, I’ve been told I’m the dog whisperer. Every dog will just follow me everywhere I go ha! We do have a nice size yard and a kitty pool that doggies love to play in with my toddler! I do a little training like sit, speak and paw and lay down. I’ve taught my dog everything he knows! He’s pretty smart. I have an eight-year-old German Shepherd, who gets along with pretty much every dog we’ve come across! We have a two year-old toddler. He just adores all the dogs that come in the house. I guarantee you your dog will have such a wonderful time at our home. While you get a vacation, so do they! I currently work part time during the day for two days a week, but other than that, I am home ! I’m open to daytime, nighttime, and overnight stays. Please reach out for any inquiries or special request. I do have a crate available if your dog needs it for comfort or a bit of alone time. My shepherd, Sam, isn’t crated—he has free roam of the house and will be great company for your pup! He’s very friendly with all dogs and loves to play.

OMG Zarina is a true gem!!! I have a very shy gentle giant who instantly loved Zarina the minute she walked through the door. Zarina is very attentive, uses great judgement for the safety of your fur baby. She even took time to hang out and play with my sweet boy after walking/feeding. I’m super grateful to have booked with Zarina and I cannot wait to book her again. Thanks again Zarina!!
I can’t recommend our dog walker enough! Adrian consistently went above and beyond every single visit. Not only was he always on time, but he also sent a text before arriving. What really stands out is the level of care he provides. He took extra time to clean our dog’s paws after walks, which is something we truly appreciate, especially on muddy or rainy days. It’s clear he genuinely cares about the dogs he works with and treats them like his own.
Zoila is very responsible and reliable - plus my lab mixes adore her and look forward to every visit - also she is proactive sending updates and pix, plus updates us if there are any changes or concerns she may notice - all of that is so comforting when we travel/ I strongly recommend her and have years of experiences w dog sitters - she is the BEST!

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Murphy. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
