Dog Walking Rice Military

About: Hi everyone, I’m Diana and live in the Heights. I’ve been fostering dogs with local Houston-area rescue organizations since 2022. Over the years, I've had the privilege of helping 14 dogs transition into their furever homes, gaining experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, personalities, and care needs.. In 2025, I was fortunate to adopt the perfect pup—Forrest who truly made my house feel like home. Also my virtual office intern. He is an older dog, and comfortable around other dogs, cats and children. I look forward to treating your pet like part of the family while they're in my care. 🐾 Feel free to reach out for any additional questions or requests to make you and your pet feel comfortable. I work as an engineer with a hybrid schedule, which allows me to spend a significant amount of time at home. Because of my flexible schedule, your pet will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and care. I live in a townhouse within a gated community that features an enclosed dog park just a short walk away, providing a safe and convenient space for exercise and play.

“Chloe was wonderful! Incredibly communicative and took great care of my Pippin.”

About: I’ve been a dedicated dog lover for over 27 years, starting with my first pup, Mystic, a Chow Mix/German Shepherd. Since then, I’ve raised and cared for multiple dogs, including Paco (Husky mix), Kiko, Lisha, Marley, and their mom, Sasha. From playful puppies to loving seniors, I’ve experienced it all and know how to handle a variety of needs with care and patience. Dogs bring so much joy, and I can’t wait to give yours the same love and attention! I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which means plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. My dog, Cloud, keeps me on an early-riser schedule, and I always have an eye on the pups in my care. During the week I'm mostly a homebody, and on weekends I enjoy walks at Buffalo Bayou Park. My centrally located Houston apartment is a great option for both local pet parents and visitors needing reliable care for their dogs. 🐾 Please note: For weekday drop-in visits/walks, I am only available before 10am and after 7pm. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. My apartment is dog-proofed and designed with pets in mind, featuring plenty of open space, dog beds, toys, enrichment puzzles, and separate areas that can be created with baby gates if needed. I have access to a fenced dog park within my community, a courtyard for quick potty breaks, and Buffalo Bayou Park nearby for walks. For added peace of mind, the nearest emergency veterinary hospital is less than half a mile away, and I am familiar with the canine Heimlich maneuver. I strive to maintain your dog's normal routine, so I encourage pet parents to share feeding schedules, treat limits, and any special care instructions to ensure a seamless, stress-free stay.
