Dog Walkers in Richmond, TX

About: I love dogs! They are a special part of my life and I currently have two mini Australian shepherds who are 8 and 6 years old. I have been around dogs my whole life and really enjoy all their fun and quirky personalities. Our house has a nice fenced in yard- your pet will get lots of exercise and outdoor time! I would love the opportunity to take care of your dog and will treat them as part of the family. I homeschool my boys so I am home all the time. Please feel free to ask me any questions that you may. Thanks for trusting me with your pet! I want your pet to feel as comfortable with the least stress as possible! I can take your pup out for a walk in the morning and evening and I will also let them outside in our fenced yard as often as they need. I have a nice fenced in yard for your pup to play. We also want them to feel at home while staying with our family and will make sure they get lots of snuggles, play time and whatever may help make their stay enjoyable!

About: FREE extra pets for sitting! Hi, I’m Andrew. I’m a US Army Veteran of the Iraq War, 2014 Texas A&M graduate, currently enrolled in an online graduate program through Texas Tech for Clinical Rehab Counseling. My goal is to work with other Veterans when I graduate. I walk multiple Rover doggos every morning and evening, and even weekends. I pride myself on being punctual, having good communication with my clients, and making bonds with the dogs I walk. Book me to add your loves to my schedule. I am a long-time dog owner, currently two huskies who I consider part of my family. I walk them every day, and they let me know when it’s time. Spoiled with love, toys, more love, treats, even more love, good food, a little more love and scratches of course. Since joining Rover, I’ve gained a wealth of experience handling dogs of different ages and needs, and clients with different expectations and levels of instruction. I’ve sat for disabled dogs, older dogs, young and hyper dogs. I’ve sat for and walked dogs in apartments, gated communities, even a senior living facility. And I’m ready to go above and beyond. I helped a client who had surgery by taking their dog to the vet. If I can do it, I will help. I have a big heart for pets. They love us unconditionally after all. They deserve it. Please note: I do not sit for or walk aggressive dogs or breeds known for dangerous behavior. I, as a provider, am open to legal liability if there’s ever any incidents. It’s simply not worth the risk, and though I am insured, I cannot afford the liability those types of incidents would require. I hope you understand, this is a business decision, not a judgment. Also please note I am not a dog trainer. My dogs are spoiled! If you are looking for someone to walk your dog like all those trainer videos, that’s not me. I want dogs to have fun on their walks, not feel like they just get what they can get out of them. I let them sniff around, look at ducks or squirrels, mark, all while maintaining safe boundaries for your pet and other pedestrians and pets. And none of this means I will not reinforce training expectations you have already instilled in your pet, simply let me know what those are. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to get to know me better. We can have a video chat. As to my schedule, I am currently in an online graduate program, so I have a flexible availability. Please reach out to me about my current walking schedule for regular clients as to what times I have available and what may be best for you. For some reason, this app allows people to book requests during times I am already booked, so that is one thing we’d have to discuss. What can you expect from me? Lots of love, cuddles, scratches, treats, playtime. Your pets will have my full attention. I know I charge a little more than others, but that’s because you’re paying for the best. Someone who is reliable, trustworthy with your home and pets, and who meets and exceeds your expectations and instructions. I once hired a sitter who didn’t realize I had a camera in my den. She spent 95% of the time I paid for to give my dogs some attention on her phone. She even swatted away my dogs when they approached! Then snapped some pics, fed them and left. I NEVER want my clients to feel that way. I will treat your pets the way I would hope people would treat my own.

“Jessica is awesome!! She works around my schedule and provides updates as well as offers extra help to ensure my pup gets the best as she can. Highly recommended.”

About: I’ve had animals my whole entire life, I grew up with a lot of siblings which meant even more animals. My love for animals goes beyond, I will say I’m terrified of insects but I like to be kind to ALL and will do everything to protect them and get them somewhere safe. my animals are my absolute world, all my animals are rescues, I’ve always had a hard time saying no to an animals asking to be loved/cared for. I have done several successful TNR’s for cats in neighborhoods I’ve lived in, along with taking dogs/cats to vets and animal shelters and trying to help them be reunited with family/finding a forever home, always trying to help save as many as I can. I currently have one pup, 5 cats that live inside and 2 outside cats. I am a helicopter parent of my babies and I would love to be considered to be a helicopter for yours as well, I myself use Rover and I would love to meet you and your babies to assure our compatibility, as I do with mine, and rest assured if you do not feel completely comfortable I will not be offended, the ultimate goal is that our babies are well taken care of and we have peace of mind! I am not currently working besides Rover, so my schedule will be open for you, and I would love to provide your babies with all the care they will need while you’re away :) I unfortunately cannot offer in home care at this time. I have had animals of different temperaments or some that need extra care for medical reasons, I am not able to give shots but I am familiar with giving medications.

“Esmeralda has been exceptional with her patience and willingness to be adaptable in working with our 2 dogs. Both have big trust issues and are very nervous to allow new people around them. She has devoted a lot of her extra time to make sure they get and feel comfortable with her. That being said, she has relieved a lot of stress and concern on my end for I want my dogs to feel as little anxiety and fear as possible as well as benefit from having the ability to go outside and go for a walk and get some fresh air. I hope Esmeralda can be a part of our household as long as possible and enjoys the dogs as much as I enjoy having her help.”

About: I am 38 years old and I have one dog of my own. I care for dogs part time. I have over 15 years of experience caring for dogs. There is nothing I love more than spending time with them. I am single and live with my 16 year old daughter. We have plenty of indoor and outdoor space for your dog to roam. The backyard is completely fenced in with multilevel decking. It has plenty of space for play equipped with a doggie pool. My house is two story 4 bedroom home with a dog suite. Trust me, your dog will be spoiled during his stay. I am completely available to you and your pets! My daughter and I are at your dogs service full time. Their stay will include dog walks along the golf course, play time and rides on the golf cart. I allow your dog to roam freely through my home. I have a 2 lot fenced back yard with 1000 ft of decking and the remainder grassed yard for running and playing. I have a doggy pool and tons of toys to play.

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of pets since I was a little girl. I’m used to all breeds of dogs and own one from another country. I also own reptiles and a cat and truly appreciate taking care of them as family members. I’m currently working part-time from home/phone, so I have plenty of time to take care of pets. Most of my work is done by phone or computer, so working away from home will not be an issue. I have three dogs in my home that are very friendly with other dogs. I can visit your home, walk and play with your pet, and put them in their crates or room if you need.

About: I’ve had experience with all animals big and small. From house sitting to managing a pet kennel at my previous job, I strive to connect with owners and their pets to ensure everyone feels safe and happy. I’m available to take care of your pets anytime, whether it be for walks, short potty breaks, or longer hours. I’m able to stay and play at your house or bring your pet to mine. I have two sweet doodles, three cats, and lots of land for pets that need to run. I understand that each animals needs are different and I would be able to provide a hype or chill environment depending on those needs.

“Happy new year.”

About: 10+ years! I have 4 dogs at home, and occasionally work with my veterinarian friend as well as taking care of my friend’s 3 cats and 2 dogs for extended periods. I love spending the time, while respecting everybody’s individual differences, in figuring out what character I have the pleasure of being with— the goofy kind that wants me to jump around with them and go on walks, the type that’d like to stay on my lap with endless massages, or some that’d rather keep their personal space! I’m a recent biology graduate and have an interest in veterinary/medical sciences, and I’d love to meet new personalities to get more experience. This is my first summer since graduating, and have very open availablity as such. Pet sitting alongside a summer class is the only thing currently on my schedule. I would only be able to do client house visits for walking/care, but I am very detail oriented and serious about curating a comfortable time for your pets but also at managing any specific procedures you’d like me to follow. I’ve worked at a research lab for over 3 years and thus have a lot of experience with following instructions to the T!

About: Pets have been a cherished part of my life for as long as I can remember. From a young age, I've always considered them true family members. The love they give to you, and being such loyal companions who deserve the same care, respect, and devotion we give to our own children. Throughout the years, I've taken full responsibility for their well-being, from feeding them on schedule, ensuring they get plenty of exercise and outdoor time, providing comfort when needed, and always prioritizing their happiness and health. I would and have gone to great lengths to ensure their safety and joy, treating them with the unconditional love they so freely give in return. I recently left my full-time job to pursue my families dream of owning and operating our own business, which we have now actually started together. With this significant life transition, I am seeking a flexible side opportunity that can generate additional income while aligning with helping those in need, all while getting to work with animals, especially dogs! When I discovered this app, it felt like the ideal combination, connecting with pet owners who require assistance with dog walking, playtime, check-ins, or basic care. It perfectly merges meaningful work, while providing companionship and support to animals. This opportunity fits perfectly with my values and allows me to make a positive difference in the lives of both pets and their owners. I am excited about the potential and eager to get started! Treating them with the care and respect they deserve, all while giving them the attention they want! I love being with them as much as they love being with us!
