Dog Walking Southwest

About: I have a passion for fitness and a love for all pets!! Will gladly walk any and all dogs! I am a professional anthlete and I love being outdoors. Dog walking is the perfect way to combine everything I enjoy. No need to worry about being too busy to give your dog the exercise and outdoors time they deserve because your pets will be in great hands with me! They will get the exercise they need and I’ll even do my best to tire out those little pups that have more energy than you can handle! I have an upbeat pup at home so I know exactly what it’s like. Very willing and able to work around your needs and schedules. I’m currently in the off season so I have plenty of time to tend to your pups! I love exercise and being outdoors so enough activity is no problem. I have a friendly dog and plenty of access to green space. I’m home a lot and very attentive to dogs care and needs

“Maya is amazing! I noticed a difference in my baby’s behavior and mood and it’s been amazing! Had to cancel because I got a new fur baby and need to get him settled in. Will def come back to Maya!”

About: I did Rover back in college and stopped to fully focus on my masters degree. I have graduated and am looking to make and save some extra money while I'm job searching for my career!! I have two large dogs, Mason, an unknown mixed breed at 10 years old, and Milee a german shepherd at 7 years old. I raised them both from 3 months old and are both very well behaved, so I have experience with puppies all the way to large dogs. I am extremely active since I used to be a college athlete. If your dog needs to let out a lot of energy, I can run with your dog instead of walking if that's what you prefer! Any money I make is being saved for my future so it is much appreciated! I currently don't have any commitments for the mornings and afternoons. Will update my schedule if so! I go to the gym around 3:30-4:00 PM so I am available all morning and afternoon to walk your dogs! My pets are reaching seniority so they are pretty easy going and well trained. They are good with other dogs but I am only doing dog walking so they shouldn't be crossing paths unless I started the doggy day care. Maybe later on!

About: I cannot remember a time in my life when dogs were not around. As soon as I graduated college, I began volunteering with a no-kill shelter in Austin, Texas. Volunteering at the shelter quickly expanded to becoming a dog foster. At the time, I did not have dogs of my own, so I was the perfect candidate to foster long-stay dogs as well as dogs with behavior and medical issues. My first foster was a tiny puppy recovering from Parvo. It was one of the toughest and most rewarding dog experiences of my life! Fostering dogs with behavior issues gave me the opportunity to participate in several training courses and programs. One of those dogs even inspired a dog-empowerment non-profit organization (Dogs Out Loud) -- she was also the logo! After several years of working with this dog, she became my last foster dog...because we adopted her! We introduced another dog into our home a few years later and it was a constant work in progress (and training) to keep those two in each other's good graces. Both of those babes have since crossed the rainbow bridge. We currently foster through DFW Lab Rescue because we are not ready to adopt, but as mentioned above, I can't imagine a home with no dog. My journey with dogs has allowed me to meet a wide range of unique creatures with unique needs, giving me the confidence to handle all types of dog situations. I work from home and am able to tend to pets all throughout the day. I love interacting with animals and I try to work them into any part of my day that is possible. I honor and respect all rules established within the home for each animal. I will spend time with and love on the animals in the same way I care for my own dogs.

“Whitney is so energetic and sweet. She wore out my boys with a quick walk/run they needed after a restful day. With my back out, she saved the day.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs since I was very young. Both our family pups have passed on through the rainbow bridge, while we miss them we are taking a break after 15 years of being dog owners. I love dogs and am a dog person. I have worked with the arlington animal shelter & search one rescue’s weekly training. One of life's greatest feelings is the love of an animal. I work for a nonprofit organization as a life coach within the Dallas school system, so my schedule closely follows school hours and holidays. This provides me with a consistent routine and flexibility outside of school times. I’m available most weekends and love incorporating daily outings and activities around the DFW area to keep pets active, engaged, and happy. I have a fenced in yard. Experience with dog crating. During the summer months I limit my personal pups’ time outdoors. We keep the animals in the first room from the front door with baby gates which is a large area we use for dining.

“Ariana is great!!! Punctual and dependable! My big dogs came back from their walk exhausted and ready for a nap! Just the way I like it :-) The boys love her!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for about 5 years now, often pet sitting for neighbors and friends while they were away. I have much experience in caring for both large and small dogs, as well as dogs with all different energy levels and play styles! I’m comfortable sitting for any pup, no matter the size or how they choose to enjoy their time. I currently work full-time, however, I will always have time to care for your pups! I will always be available to stop by every 8 hours at the longest, and am also always available to house sit overnight. I am very experienced in house sitting, and am always happy to help with chores around the house if needed! I always make sure to enter as calmly as possible to not scare any skittish pups, or rile up energetic ones. I make sure all dogs are safe once I leave, ensuring there is nothing that could possibly harm them while I am away. I will always ensure to crate dogs who need it before I leave as well! I will feed pups on time, and always make sure they have adequate water, especially before I leave. If boarding, I have a wonderfully friendly Schnauzer named Archie, who would love to play with your pup! Just note, he is very energetic, but does also do well with senior dogs!

About: I have had many dogs over the years in all sizes! I have trained many puppies and I have worked in a pet boarding and daycare facility for 1 year. I have also pet sit many times! I am currently a college student but I am very flexible especially during the day and at night. I am can fit my schedule into yours. I have taken care of a lot of dogs and I have training with dogs that are more hyper or even slightly aggressive! I am equipped to handle all dogs!

About: Hello, I'm Trinity! Ever since elementary school, I've always loved animals. I always seem to connect and bond with them very well! I've owned 3 horses in the past and currently own a cat. I was in the United States Army for over 5 years, and am now an honorably discharged veteran. I love going to the gym and lifting weights! I've been dog sitting since I was about 14 for all kinds of dogs, sometimes staying at the owners house. I've even taken care of people's horses while they're gone. I love being with all the good boys and girls! Lots of love will be given to them! Currently working part-time at StretchLab Waterside (Fort Worth), Monday-Thursday. Working mornings (9am-2pm) every day except Tuesdays currently. Tuesdays is my evening shift! I tend to go to the gym late at night (8pm or later). I'd love to be able to fit in walks where I can! Having dogsat and housesat for multiple people, I understand the importance of safety, cleanliness, and respect. Whatever you say, goes. Don't be surprised if I take some notes, too! I'm triple checking doors are locked, blinds are closed, and the fur babies are good to go! Leaving a house more clean than it was before will always be a priority. So you can have peace of mind while sipping your pina coladas! I love sending pictures of the fur babies to their parents! Expect lots of goofy pictures of them too!

About: I’ve always loved animals and feel very comfortable caring for them. Friends and family have trusted me to watch their pets, feed them, walk them, and make sure they feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. I’m patient, attentive, and enjoy spending time playing with dogs and making sure they get the care and attention they need. I always treat other dogs and cats including stray animals as if they are my own. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets. I enjoy taking dogs on walks and making sure they get lots of playtime and attention. I’m most available Thursday through Sunday, with full availability on Sundays. During the week I attend school and occasionally babysit, but I still have time for drop-ins, walks, visits, and pet care. On Saturdays I attend church, but I’m available before 1pm and after 3pm. I’m happy to work with owners to make sure their pets receive consistent care, exercise, and attention. I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment and treat every pet like family. I have a large fenced yard where dogs can safely run and play, and I provide toys and treats to keep them engaged and happy. My neighborhood also has a walking trail, which is perfect for longer nature walks and daily exercise. I have two friendly dogs of my own—an 8-year-old female and a 14-year-old male—who are calm and used to being around people and other pets. I keep my dogs’ vaccinations up to date and can provide that information for transparency and safety. For overnight stays or visits, I ask that owners provide their dog’s food, leash, bed, and any specific items their pet is used to, as well as shampoo if a bath is requested. For everyone’s safety, pets should be up-to-date on important vaccinations, especially rabies and routine deworming. Dogs in my care receive plenty of attention, walks, and playtime. Pets are welcome on the bed or couch as long as they are vaccinated, trained, and comfortable. I also send updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are safe and happy.

About: I currently have Lady who was a stray. I have always had 1-2 dogs (small to large size) growing up. I’ve aged pups from puppy to old age, so I am very understanding and responsible in caring for dogs. I'm a quick learner and not afraid to ask questions to learn everything I can about your Pet. I am flexible in my work schedule and I will always keep you updated with how your dog is doing and being cared for. I've handled dogs from mixed breeds, rescued from neglected homes, to pure bred show dogs. My parents currently have 1 Irish Setter Show dog that I help care for. Both my parents have worked as Vet Technicians, which makes caring for your fur baby even better knowing someone is truly taking care of them. I work as a personal trainer in the early mornings and late afternoons, so I have time throughout my day to take walks, let pets out to potty, stop in for a mid day play day/treat, or even stay at the home your beloved pet is occupying. Caring for your pet is my #1 priority! Allowing them to stay in the comfort of their home, helps keep them happy and stress free! I prefer to meet you before caring for your pet with a pre-house check to ensure I can take care of your pet with 100% confidence. I always ask questions, take notes, and would love to meet your pet before caring for them to help them adjust to having me around. I put as much care and love towards your pet as I would my own.

About: I have owned dogs and cats my entire life. I have also helped take care of other people's fur babies for over 10 years. This has included: dog sitting, walks, and administering medications. I work as an independent contractor so my schedule is pretty flexible and can change based on your pets needs. I would love to take your fur babies on walks and take care of them. I will love and care for your pet as if it were my own. I'll be sure to keep you updated with pictures or messages of how they're doing. I can also water any plants and bring your mail in if needed, just let me know!

I offer daily walks, drop-ins, and medication administration, and I'll send photo updates so you never miss a moment. Calm, ATTENTIVE, and fully committed to your pet's routine and comfort. My experiences are a combination of my life long love for animals and a year providing professional services. I am a stay at home mom with two teens.

“We have been having Lexi walk our dog weekly for about 6 months and she always goes above and beyond! We couldn’t have hoped for a better dog sitter/walker!”

About: I grew up with dogs my entire childhood and raised my own pup at 16. Potty trained and taught him tricks. I also raised my 8yr old cat since he was 2 weeks old. I’ve dog/cat sat in college and for family/friends. I’ve done it all from playing, walking, feeding, cleaning - whatever your fur baby needs. I just love pets and luckily they like me too. Even the ones that don’t usually like anyone. I work from home and my schedule is very flexible so I can work my schedule around your pets needs. I can even do last minute. I like to get to know your pet and see what boundaries they have then go from there so they like me.I also know that a lot of pets needs routine and I’m happy to stick to that routine. More than willing to work with you and your pets needs.

“Today was a last minute dog-walk request and Paula was so awesome to accommodate us - on her birthday to boot! Our pup got an extra long walk and she even gave our kitties some love and attention before she headed out the door. I love her updates and photos she sends from each visit. We'll definitely hire Paula again!”
