Anna is great! I trust her with my baby and will even take super late requests. If you cannot be home and need your little one to be taken for a walk, I would pick her over anyone in the area.

About: I’ve grown up with small and medium sized dogs that i loved taking care of from puppy to old age. I’ve taken care of my neighbors and friends dogs/cats for a couple years. I currently own a cat, and I know how to administer oral medication to cats and dogs if needed. I love animals and understand the care and trust you need to put into those who care for your pets. Im currently a college student with mostly online classes so I have lots a time to play and cuddle with your pets! I’m able to pet sit and do overnight stays on weekends and most weekdays. I can take your dog on walks or play in your backyard if you have fenced area. I’ll also play with them inside if it’s too hot or raining hard. I’ll keep the fur babies company for as long as needed.

About: Hi! I’m Heaven! I have 4+ years of pet care experience. Throughout college, I would pet sit for family, friends, and friends who of friends who needed affordable pet care; feeding, walking, medicating, and exercising, including older puppies and senior dogs, cats, and reptiles. Meet & greets were and are mandatory with new clients. I was also a dog walker for the Franklin County Dog Shelter as well as for a small company, Pet Sitting by Tisha in Ohio before moving to Texas in 2022. I am currently a full-time employee. My current schedule is Sunday, Tuesday, and Wednesday from 7a-3:30p, Monday 7a-6:30p (which I can request to be a normal shift if necessary), and Thursday 7a-12:30p. My off days are Fridays and Saturdays. I can provide boarding or house sitting care on any day of the week as long as your pup is okay to wait longer periods between potty breaks. On any day of the week if afternoon or evening drop in care is needed, such as walking or feeding/medicating, I am able and willing to do that. I currently live in an apartment with a bark park. I would take the pups on a morning walk, midday/afternoon trip to the park on grounds, and an evening walk and potty break. Feeding/medicating would occur on the schedule you provide me with for your pup.

About: I’ve loved dogs since I was a kid, and getting to care and love on them whenever I can is a must! I’ve done long term stays up to 2.5 weeks and love spending time with them. My last dog was a Frenchie named Mars who I loved with my entire heart, and you can see us in our matching sweaters right above! Before that, my family had German Shepherds so I love dogs of all sizes! **See my availability tab for info on CONSTANT care :)** I’m currently working part-time so I have lots of availability to love on your pups! I am available for overnight, drop ins, and whatever else you may need! *I also do offer constant (24/7) and semi-constant (pets not being left for more than 5 hours) care for a different rate if you are interested!* I believe pets staying in their own home provides and maintains a familiar and safe environment and am happy to keep them company. I am familiar with crate trained friends, keeping your pet(s) company, walks, watching Bluey with them, regular feeding and enrichment. Set routines are my jam!

I am so pleased to have Katie walking my energetic chocolate Labrador! One of the things I appreciate most is her punctuality and reliability. She has only been walking my dog for a couple of weeks, but it already feels like she’s been part of our routine forever. Katie is caring, dependable, and clearly loves what she does. I am so happy with her services and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker! 🐾

I couldn't be happier with the care Peanut received from Chloe! From the very first meeting, she bonded with Peanut immediately, which put my mind right at ease. Her communication is top-notch; I received timely updates and felt completely informed throughout the entire process. Peanut clearly got a fantastic workout and came home happy and well-exercised. If you’re looking for someone reliable who truly connects with animals, I highly recommend her!

Chloe is such a thoughtful dog caretaker! She is super responsive and thinks ahead about weather and when it will be best to walk your pup. She takes our dog Henry for a nice walk every day and always shares a picture of him after the walk. He is always extremely happy and has been in such a better mood since Chloe started walking him!

Experience can vary widely from dog walker to dog walker, but you can view reviews, years of experience, and number of repeat clients when comparing dog walkers available in River Oaks.

You can’t always predict a super busy day at work, but you can anticipate your dog’s needs. Instead of rushing home at lunch, book a dog walker to give your dog a 30- or 60-minute dog walk.
