Dog Walkers in River Oaks, TX

About: I’ve always loved dogs and spend some of my free time volunteering with dogs in my community. I have about a year of dog-sitting experience and am also a dog owner myself—I have a husky, so I’m very familiar with active dogs and enjoy taking them on long walks and keeping them engaged. I especially enjoy caring for senior dogs and understand that they often need extra patience, attention, and a consistent routine. Whether your dog loves adventure or prefers a slower pace, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently work full-time Monday through Friday, but I’m available for afternoon and evening visits and am happy to work with your schedule when possible. I’m also very flexible on weekends and can often help with last-minute bookings. I prefer caring for dogs in my client’s home, where they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I make sure each dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, meals on schedule, and lots of affection. I also enjoy taking dogs on walks and spending quality time playing with them based on their energy level and needs. I understand that every dog is different, so I follow any specific instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, or special care. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away, while also giving you peace of mind.

“Emily was SO easy! I had to ask her last minute for one morning because my friends couldn’t that specific time & she made things a breeze! I got pictures of my fur baby & now will definitely be using her again 😍”

About: 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and 15 years caring for cats in both personal and family settings. Skilled in daily walks, exercise routines, feeding schedules, administering basic care, playtime, companionship, and providing a safe, loving environment for pets of all sizes and temperaments. Experienced with energetic puppies, senior pets, multi-pet households, and understanding animal behavior and comfort needs. Dedicated to reliable, compassionate, full-service pet care with a true lifelong passion for animals. Pet care is already part of my everyday life. I plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, playtime, medication needs, and making sure every pet gets personal attention, comfort, and consistency throughout the day. I care for every pet like they are my own by keeping a clean, calm, and safe environment. In clients’ homes, I follow all instructions carefully, maintain routines, secure doors and gates, and make sure pets feel comfortable, loved, and stress-free while their owners are away.

About: As far as I can remember, I have always had pets. Dogs, cats, parakeets, hamsters, squirrels and the list goes on. I enjoy being with animals, they give me a sense of peace and well-being that I cannot find anywhere else. They ARE the best stress releaser. I have raised 2 litters of puppies and taken care of a few older furr babies. (They take a little more patience because they cannot get around like they used to) I do have a full-time job, but I can set my hours as needed. I am able to come home throughout the day and am home evenings and weekends. I have walking trails and a couple of parks that we can spend time together enjoying the outdoors. I have a fenced back yard. I do have two cats, but they mind their own business. (Hiding until they know if they are going to be eaten or not.) I do have a crate, if that is what you do when you are gone. I have a den that has a door to separate it from the rest of the house if your fur baby prefers to have their own space. I also am fine with them sleeping with me or near me if that is what you prefer.

“Emily was great with both of our doggies! She showed up on time and communicated with us on any dog updates and sent great photos. She even did a meet and greet a week prior to the multiple day dog walks we booked her for. Thank you!”

“Thank you for fitting us in for a week worth of daily walks at the last minute. I appreciate your good communications and punctuality. Brice enjoyed her walks with you this week. We will definitely book with you in the future!! Highly recommended...”

About: Hi there! My name is Fabiola, and I’d be honored to care for your beloved pets. I’m currently looking for an extra source of income, and what better way than by doing something I genuinely love—spending time with animals! While I’ve never owned a dog of my own, I’ve had hands-on experience helping care for my roommate’s chihuahua, Juju, throughout college. I co-parented her while my roommate balanced a busy school and work schedule. In addition, I volunteered at Safe Haven Animal Shelter just outside of Lubbock during my time at Texas Tech, where I earned my bachelor’s degree. I’m attentive to dogs’ needs—whether it’s a potty break, a walk around the park, or just some quality playtime and affection. I understand that pets require love, patience, and attention, and I’m more than ready to give them the care they deserve. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members! I currently work full time Monday - Thursday. I am free all day on Fridays and have limited availability on Saturdays afternoons ( mornings I’m available) I offer dog walking services and dog sitting services at your convenience! I do not plan to take the dogs to my own home (I believe dogs should be comfortable and feel safe in the environment they know well). During dog walks I will be willing to share my location!

“Super sweet! Responds fast and is timely :) Hope to have her care for my pup again!”

About: I’ve been around animals since I was little. I’ve always loved being around them!! This started out as something fun & quickly grew into one of my greatest passions. I’m currently in school online. My free time is used up by baking, cooking, or walking. I am left with plenty of free time so what better way to use it than to take fur babies on walks!! I think of our pets as humans. They’re loving, supportive, funny animals. All they show is love so why not show it back. 🐾 💕🐾 💕🐾

“Thank you for also walking our visitor "Patty" for the last 10 days while she was with us. She enjoyed her investigation of the neighborhood.”

About: Hi! Those who know me best know how passionate I am about animals. I’m proud to have spent over 13 hours volunteering at the humane society. Count on me to cherish your pets as dearly as you do! A college graduate, currently working part time and living at home with my folks. Applying to graduate programs and planning for my future!

I regularly search the internet for facts and strategies that can help me maximize my pets happiness, health and longevity.

“Jaime was very understanding when he was at my house to walk my Dozer for the 1st time... seeing how I had a emergency come up and I completely forgot that he was coming to my house. I wasn't there.. but I let him in. He still just let my dozer out to potty even tho my dog was so scared and was running from him. My fault completely.. but Jaime still handled things professionally . I really appreciate you !”

About: I have helped my family take care of animals since I was twelve years old. We foster animals through the Humane Society of North Texas and have helped numerous animals recover, grow, and get adopted. I have fostered with my family for close to nine years now, which includes experience with bottle babies (kittens and puppies), full grown dogs and cats, and even a pregnant guinea pig. I have taken care of neighbor's pets before and my family's dogs as well. I am a college student off for summer break and have plenty of extra time to look after precious animals! I will be available to provide care for any pet(s). I will stick to whatever routine you have set for your animal(s). Whether they are indoor/outdoor or need to be crated and let out occasionally, I am flexible. I am also comfortable with animals of any size, and I have dealt with a lot of dogs with varying temperaments.

“Fantastic write up and pictures as always”

About: I’ve always been a dog lover and grew up taking care of, training, and of course loving my family dog, Potter. I have three years of pet sitting and dog walking experience but well over a decade of experience if you count Potter! I also have volunteer experience at the SPCA and Humane Society with both dogs and cats. I know how stressful it can be to find the right person to trust with taking care of your fur baby when you’re gone away or even out of the house for long hours during the day, and I pride myself on always providing the best care I possibly can from sending lots of photos and updates to following all of the sometimes silly and seemingly overcomplicated little rituals and routines your baby is used to doing when you’re home with them! I’m a professional ballet dancer and currently in my summer “off season” so my schedule is extremely flexible and can accommodate whatever works best for you and your pets! I always like to do an in person introduction with you and your pets so I’m able to get to know exactly how you guys like do things, and of course to get to know your fur baby so I’m not a total stranger when I’m looking after them while you’re away! I have first hand experience with good and bad pet sitters for my own fur babies so it’s really important to me that both you and your pets are comfortable and feel confident with me before I take care of them!

About: I grew up with animals (chickens, horses, goats, dogs) in a small town. I don’t have professional animal training, but I have plenty of energy! Hi! My name is Julie Mae. I am currently studying and my schedule is flexible. My calendar is also updated, but feel free to reach out! I have a two year old Yorkie! She’s my baby!! I treat all animals with love, kindness, and respect! I offer any length of walk.
