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.

“Emily is great! I have her walk my dog everyday while I’m at work and she always sends pictures. She’s very flexible with the schedule and I plan on continuing having her walk and play with my dog!”

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I provide reliable, compassionate care that helps your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s cuddles on the couch, playtime, daily walks, bird-watching from the window, or simply keeping to their normal routine, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I understand that each animal has a unique personality and needs, and I take the time to ensure they receive the attention, patience, and care they deserve. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family members are happy, well cared for, and in loving hands. My schedule is flexible and varies throughout the month. As a flight attendant, I am away on occasional trips, but when I accept a booking, I am fully committed to providing dependable care for your fur baby.I carefully manage my availability and only take on pet-sitting assignments when I can ensure your pet receives the attention, care, and consistency they deserve. My calendar is kept up to date, and I am happy to discuss specific dates and visit schedules to meet your cat’s needs. I provide care exclusively in your fur baby’s own home, where they are most comfortable and secure. Staying in their familiar environment helps reduce stress and allows them to maintain their normal routine.

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! My name is Carmen Sofia, but I go by Sofia. Along with my mom Brenda and my younger sister Fatima, we’re a caring and reliable team of pet lovers who truly enjoy spending time with animals. We’ve had experience caring for Golden Retrievers, Poodles, Yorkies, and Pomeranians. At home, we have two guinea pigs (ages 5 and 4), and we’ve also helped care for my aunt’s cat, so we’re comfortable with different types of pets and personalities. 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. You can trust me to follow routines, supervise playtime, and give lots of attention and care while keeping them safe at all times.

“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 grew up with dogs at home and have done dog sitting previously. I’m patient, attentive and caring. I will treat your dogs like my own! I’m transitioning jobs at the moment and have a lot of free time to take care of pets. I like to go on walks so I can bring them with me if that works for them as well. I have a spacious yard for dogs to play around and I have space for a crate inside the house if needed. I currently have no pets myself.

About: I have grown up around dogs of all kinds and sizes. My two childhood pets were a Labrador mix and a scottish terrier. Now i help out with my siblings more energetic breeds including a german shepherd mix and an australian shepherd. I even have my own fur baby, who is a sweet ragdoll cat. I’m comfortable around all breeds for both dogs and cats, and understand that every animal has different needs and boundaries when it comes to meeting someone new. I have a very open and flexible schedule that allows me to check on your pets multiple times a day if you prefer. For drop in visits, i can provide up to 3 visits a day, and i can offer dog walking as well. House sitting is an option I offer as long as I am given 3 days notice in advance. I prefer to watch dogs in their own space since i have a cat who is afraid of them. Instead i prefer watching any pets in their own space. I can provide playtime and cuddle time, and can even walk dogs as long as they are leash trained.

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

About: I enjoy taking care of dogs, I have fun taking them on walks or runs and treating them to pup cups. With experience since high school pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors, I'm experienced with most breeds! Hi! I’m Ruth, and I’m a huge animal lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs and getting to know their individual personalities. I have a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to feel comfortable and confident when leaving your pet in someone else’s care. I am free all day most days as I am looking for jobs since I recently graduated from Texas Tech. I love going on walks, playing outside, visiting the dog park, and just spending quality time with pets. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and give them the attention, exercise, and cuddles they’re used to!

I’ll always treat your pet like they’re my own and keep you updated throughout their stay!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of many breeds/age and size for years now. Same goes for cats as well! I also own my own chihuahua for 15 years now. I own my own company so I always know my schedule. And I am doing rover as a part time, when I am not busy with work because I am an animal lover and this was the best fit for my spare time! I do not do at my own home, due to my dog being so old I don’t want to stress her. When I do visits, I let your dogs outside when needed and stay out to make sure they have used the restroom before coming back in and also have their bowls already ready for breakfast and dinner. I always clean the bowls afterwards too because of bacteria. I always show your pets so much love when I am with them because I know they miss their owner and remind them each time, day of their owner coming home, that their owner will be home today, they love it and of course already know somehow!

“Michelle is absolutely amazing! She did an outstanding job with my dog, Free. She was always on time, extremely reliable, and clearly loves what she does. My dog adored their walks together and was always excited to see her. Michelle is patient, kind, and takes wonderful care of animals. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate dog walker who will treat your pet like her own.”
