Dog Walking Salado

About: I have been pet sitting since I was 11 years old. My experience ranges from newborn puppies/kitties to senior animals as well. When I was 16, I was working at a ranch as a dog/puppy tech handler. I helped clean, groom, and train miniature Australian Shepherds. As well as I handled mama dogs and their babies! While there, I also fed a feral colony and acquainted myself with some of the barn animals (Horses, cows, bulls). Over the years, I have fostered and bottle-fed various litters of puppies and kittens. Now I own 5 cats and 2 dogs. I am comfortable with big or small animals! I look forward to caring for y'all! Currently, I am taking courses for medical coding/billing for AAPC. So my classes are every Tuesday and Thursday from 6 pm to 8 pm. But other than that timeframe, I am completely flexible! I do prefer to be able to go to the client's home as I feel that is what most pets are more comfortable with. Whether you have cameras or not, it is not a problem. Any type of special latches, gates, key codes, etc. Is not a problem either. Animals hold a very special place in my heart, so rest assured, your baby will be my baby.

“Zachariah did an outstanding job taking care of our baby. He kept us updated and included pictures of his walk. I would recommend him and will definitely use him in the future.”

About: I am a stay at home homesteader that has three rescue doggos that live inside and a guardian livestock dog that spends her days taking care of the farm. We have hatched, raised and spend our days giving all the snacks to almost 50 chickens, 17 guineas, and 6 ducks. We have 2 goats one of which is about to give us a third. I know how hard it can be the travel with peace of mind without your babies with you, and I’d love to be able to help people enjoy your time away from home. Being able to set my own schedule while caring for other animals will allow me the ability to still care for my own animals without pulling time from them. I will do my very best to keep your fur babies routines exactly the same, and love and care for them like I love and care for my own babies.

About: I have owned dogs for over 20 years. I would love to help with your dog sitting, walking needs. I have watched my friends dogs and now I am looking to expand to helping others. I am currently a substitute teacher so I am not working full time and I am available most days to help out for a short time or extended times. I am active and I would love to walk or jog with your dog if that is preferred. I have owned dogs for most of my life and enjoy being around them.

“Jordan was great with our little pup! Definitely using her again! Thanks for helping us this week!”

About: I've always had a deep love for animals and grew up surrounded by pets. Over the years, I’ve cared for countless dogs and cats by pet sitting for friends and family. I have experience with a wide variety of breeds, from gentle Great Danes to tiny teacup Yorkies. I am also pet CPR and first aid certified through Red Cross. I am a full time pet sitter, what started as a side hustle turned into a job I really love. This allows me to be readily available for daytime drop-in visits and overnight stays. I have ample time for mealtime, playtime, walks, and cuddles! I treat every dog with the same love and care that I give my own. My goal is to ensure your pet feels safe, happy, and at home—even when you're away. I’m happy to follow any specific routines or instructions, because I understand how important personalized attention is. Thank you for trusting me with your fur babies—I look forward to giving them the care they deserve!

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of every age and need since I was 10 — from rowdy puppies and playful kittens to senior pets with special requirements. I’m comfortable administering oral and topical medications, tracking dosage schedules, and watching for changes in appetite, mobility, or behavior. With senior pets, I focus on gentle routines, extra rest, and close attention to comfort. With younger pets, I prioritize safe socialization, play, and structure so they get the interaction and exercise they need. I offer boarding and house sitting, so pets stay in a comfortable, familiar routine whether they’re in my care or their own home. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me for years to feed, medicate, and care for their pets like my own. I’m currently working part-time from home, so I have plenty of flexibility to give your pets real attention, not just a quick check-in. Here’s what a typical visit or stay looks like: • Available for boarding on weekends and weekdays after 2pm • Flexible daytime drop-ins for medication schedules and older pets who need consistency • Extra playtime and outdoor walks built into every visit, not rushed • Happy to adjust timing around your pet’s normal routine so nothing feels disrupted I treat every pet like my own, with a strong focus on both physical safety and mental enrichment. Here’s what you can expect: • Fenced yard and two friendly, dog-savvy dogs to keep your pet company • Daily outdoor time for fresh air, sniffing, and exercise — not just a backyard bathroom break • Enrichment activities like puzzle feeders, treat-scattering, and interactive play to keep their mind engaged • Comfortable crating available if that’s part of your pet’s routine • Careful medication administration and monitoring for any dogs or cats with health needs • A calm, decorated, pet-friendly space that feels like home, not a kennel

About: I have been in the veterinary setting since I was sixteen and I've been a veterinary technician for a couple years now! I am now focusing on the most important thing in life which is family and I would love to take care of your fur babies when you need it! I am a certified forehead kisser and a great conversationalist with the non-speaking, I do not discriminate on personality and/or breed. I am confident in my ability to make your fur baby feel comfortable in my presence and I can't wait to meet you! I am available early mornings to afternoons until about 3pm-5pm! (Open to longer days depending on your schedule) Weekend availability when needed. As of right now, I am not offering any overnight stays. Before taking care of your pet, I would love to meet them and also have you show me around your home and/or list out any specifications or requirements. (written out instructions are definitely a preference to have on hand!) If you feel comfortable having the pet at my home, I do live in a gated community with plenty of area for walks and outside time! My home is currently run by a cat named James Alexander Malcolm Mackenzie Fraser (bonus points if you know who that is) and he could not care less about dogs so he'll just deliver the constant side eye. I am very comfortable administering medicine if needed (including injections) I do require some form of flea and tick prevention - whether that be Nexgard, Seresto collar, or essential oils.

“Josh just started walking my 9 year old pup. He took the time to do a meet and greet and get my old gal use to him. She was already so excited to see him today when for her first walk with him. He takes lots of pics and provides great information. He kind and gentle with animals and is so sweet! Thank you Josh!”

What truly sets me apart is my commitment to not just your pet's well-being, but your total peace of mind. ​My Special Skills & Premium Services Include: ​High-Drive & Large Breed Management: Confident, safe leash-handling and focused exercise for powerful working breeds and strong pullers. ​Behavioral Reinforcement: Utilizing consistent positive reinforcement, professional handling techniques, and keen observation of canine body language. ​Reactive Dog Handling: Creating safe, predictable, and low-stress environments for anxious or sensitive dogs. ​The "Extras" Standard: Going above and beyond with thorough post-visit clean-ups, basic maintenance brushing, and exceptional respect for your home. ​Unmatched Communication: Providing highly detailed updates and quality photos so you never have to guess how your pet's day is going. ​I am dedicated to building long-term bonds and am currently prioritizing clients looking for reliable, recurring weekly walks and drop-ins. ​Pet care isn't just a part of my routine—it is my full-time profession!

About: Give your dog a vacation! :) Your dog won't have any lack of attention in a home of two dog-lovers and an adorable little mutt named Tiger! We both work from home so we’re able to give attention throughout the day. I've grown up with dogs my whole life, and being from the country, we'd usually have six or seven in our family at a time. Tiger loves all dogs, big or small - he's a real dog's dog. Whatever your dog's temperament may be - whether chilling on the couch, or going for a walk or run, we will be happy to accommodate. We only board small and medium sized dogs, up to 40 pounds. If your dog is larger, we are open to house sitting at your residence. Your dog will have lots of room to play and relax in our two bedroom, dog-proofed home. We are lucky to have a fenced in back yard and to live in such a walkable neighborhood (less than half a mile from town square). Since we work from home, I'm able to do multiple walks (or jogs, if you are so inclined) a day. I will also send you updates and photos so you can relax and rest assured that your canine friend is in good hands. Let me know if your dog prefers to be crated at night or sleep with us. We also have several plush dog beds throughout the house, but feel free to bring any bedding or toys that will remind them of home.

“Katelyn is phenomenal! Excellent with my dog and very knowledgeable in animal care & behavior. Would highly recommend!”
