Dog Walking Shenandoah

About: I have taken care of animals for a long time. My friends and family have relied on me to care for their pets when they need it. I always send pictures and updates to the owner to let them know their pet(s) are okay and communicate if there are any issues. I take their comfort and security serious. I truly enjoy caring for them and believe that complete transparency is needed to build a good bond and trust with your pet(s) and with you as the owner. I have to go downtown Houston on Wednesdays for my classes since I am a student. But the entire week with the exception of Wednesdays I am free. I live in a fenced house with my 10 year old dog. She is a mini bichon (she is spayed) to keep your furry baby company. I am comfortable with dogs getting on the beds and furniture, so I don’t crate them unless I am asked to. I always ask the owners about their pets usual schedule and accommodate to them as best I can, no matter how early or late. When walking them or taking them to the park, I always carry poppy bags, water and wipes to clean their paws. I am also very careful with other animal interactions, I understand that dogs and cats have different personalities, some more gentle than others. I would like to assure your pets safety and comfort. It is a must to have them on a leash when walking them, and will do so in times when the concrete will not burn their paws. When it comes to food, I need to be told about schedules and should your pet have any allergies, I need to know beforehand. The owner should have their food ready, whether I take care of their pet in my house or in the clients home. I need the owners phone number and/or email to always let them know how their pet is doing with photo proof. I love to keep the communication with the owner because I am a dog owner myself, so I understand leaving them in the care of someone else can be stressful, and having constant updates is essential.

About: From newborn puppies to sugar faced seniors, I have taken care of all fur babies! Age is just a number and I love them all! I care for pups of all sizes and ages. Administering medicine, staying on a routine, exercise, playtime, or even cuddle time is essential and I have cared for all no matter the needs. I am currently an elementary special education teacher, but I am available Friday evenings and weekends! I have always loved taking care of dogs and cats since I was little! I meet your pup where they are. If all we need is a bathroom break, that is perfectly okay. If we need a long walk and play time or just sunbathing outside that is perfect as well! I am very flexible and strive to provide your fur baby with what they need in order for them to be happy, healthy, and comfortable!

“She was great with our pups. We would definitely want to use her again. She knew exactly what our pups wanted.”

“Honestly, we aren't sure what we'd do without Emily at this point! Her daily visit has changed Austin's life for the better! He is much happier, calmer, and in such a great mood now!”

“Molly is very communicative and always sends me pictures and updates of Henry on his walks. She goes the extra mile to make sure he has enough food, water, treats/ toys and anything else to be comfortable. Henry warmed up to her really quickly and we're lucky to have her help!”

About: I got my first pet when I was 14, I had adopted him from a humane society when he was 3 years old! In the time I had him I had to learn what unconditional love was, what patience really means, and what responsibility is. He was an amazing dog and I learned so much from the time I was able to care for him. For four years I got to learn what taking care of a dog entailed and was always taking the opportunity to learn what I could always do better. I had to rehome my best bud in September of 2022, but I will forever hold that unconditional love and time I got to spend with him in my heart. I currently have 2 animals as of 2025! One is a handsome pitbull mix named Max and the other is my handsome cat named Ozzy. They are my pride and joy! I’ve learned so much since moving to Texas and adopting both from a Humane Shelter in Houston. I work full time at a hospital in the Woodlands area so 4/7 days of the week I am typically free! On days I do have blocked off on my schedule I can be available for a drop in or walk after 7pm! I am always on the lookout for potential dangers or surroundings, safety is the utmost important to me with animals and people. Stay safe always

About: Hi, I’m Dominique. I run Paws Please, a small, local dog walking service providing dependable dog walks and drop-in visits for people with busy schedules, short or long term disabilities, or anyone who needs me-time in The Woodlands, Spring, and nearby Conroe areas. I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for breeds including Maltese, Schnauzer, and Shiba Inus through different life stages, from puppies to senior dogs. Spending time with dogs has always brought me a sense of calm, and I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet. My approach is patient, attentive, and relaxed. I believe walks should give dogs time to safely explore, sniff, decompress, and stay active while maintaining a consistent routine. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I currently offer weekday dog walks and drop-in visits between 11 AM and 3 PM, allowing me to stay organized, attentive, and consistent with each client. I follow each client’s care instructions carefully, prioritize secure walks and safe neighborhood routes, and do not offer group walks with dogs from different households, allowing for more focused, attentive care and a calmer experience for your pet. I’m fully insured and take pet safety seriously. Also, I provide thoughtful updates and photos so you can feel connected and at ease while your pet is in my care.

We offer drop-in visits and dog walking, and we love keeping pets happy and engaged through playtime, belly rubs, light grooming, and lots of attention! Spending time with animals is very therapeutic for us, and we treat every pet like family. Our goal is always to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away 🥰 I’m currently studying online and working as a travel agent, so my schedule is very flexible. I can easily adjust to your pet’s routine, whether it’s walks, playtime, or drop-in visits, to make sure they feel happy and cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a secure, calm, and loving environment where your furry family member can feel happy and relaxed.
