“Haley is the best!!! I am a very protective and anxious dog parent and don’t trust many people with my pup. Haley is one person that I know I can 100% trust and depend on to give my dog the best care. I use Haley a few times a week to walk my dog while I’m at work and I have total peace of mind knowing Haley is taking care of him while I’m gone. She goes above and beyond just walking him- she always checks water, gives treats as instructed and always follows any other instructions given. She sends lots of pictures and detailed reports of how the visit went. It’s obvious she truly cares about our pup! She is extremely responsive and quick to accept bookings and booking modifications. We feel very fortunate to have found someone so dependable, kind and sweet to our boy. Thank you Haley!!”

About: Hi there! I’m a doctoral student with a lifelong love for animals. I’ve shared my home with 3 amazing dogs and 1 sweet (and very opinionated!) cat, and I’ve run a neighborhood dog walking and pet sitting service. One of my dogs was trained by me from puppyhood, which taught me the power of patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. I understand that every pet has their own quirks and needs, and I always aim to connect with them on their terms. Whether your furry friend loves cuddles, playtime, or just a calm presence, I’m here to make them feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. Please refer to the scheduling area on my profile for specific availability! About My Availability: Hey there! I’m here to keep your pets happy and well-exercised. I’m a busy doctoral student, so I’ve crafted my schedule to balance school and furry friend fun perfectly. Generally, I am in class Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday in the mornings, and work Thursday and Sunday afternoons. However, there is always space in my schedule, and I will consistently provide updates for the week in this section, for your convenience. Here’s when I’m usually available to help out during the week: Every day: Early bird? I’ve got you covered with walks from 5:00 AM to 6:00 AM — a great way to start the day! Monday: Available in Houston all morning until 9:00 AM, then available from Noon for the rest of the day! Tuesday: Available in Houston from 12:00 AM to 2:00 PM, then off to Katy/Fulshear for evening walks after 8:30 PM— happy to stroll with your pups there! Wednesday: Open in Houston until to 1:30 PM. Thursday: Available in Houston for the morning until 11:30 AM and after 8:00 PM. Friday: Ready for some daytime fun in Katy/Fulshear all morning until 10:00 AM and available again after 12:00 PM until 4:30 PM. Saturday: My schedule’s wide open — perfect for spontaneous walks or playdates! Sunday: Free until 4:00 PM for your furry friend’s needs. If your schedule’s a bit different, just ask — I’m flexible and happy to help whenever I can! Looking forward to meeting your pets and making their tails wag! Beyond this week, I would love to work with your furry friend and I will be able to answer any questions you have! For drop-in visits and dog walking, I focus on giving your pet quality time, whether a fun, energizing walk or calm, attentive companionship during a quick visit. I tailor my care to each pet’s personality and needs, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved, whether I’m there for a few minutes or overnight. When house sitting, I stay overnight at the pet parent’s home to provide consistent, loving care and maintain your pet’s usual routine in a familiar environment. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and comfort while you’re away.
