Dog Walking in Summerfield Estates, Garland, TX

About: Ever since I was little i've loved animals and knew I wanted to be a veterinarian. At 10 I started volunteering for animal shelters and watching my friends pets as a side job. Then all throughout high school I was in a veterinary medical program where we worked with all different breeds and species. Right now, pet care isn't getting in the way of my schedule and i have plenty of time for pet sitting jobs. Taking care of animals is moving towards the career that I want and is giving me more experience for college. I ensure 24/7 potty breaks and feeding when needed. Your pet will not be out of sight. I am able to de escalate highly stressful situations the dog might be in. Ex. Scared of thunder/loud noises, scared of other dogs or animals, etc.

“Mychelle is amazing! Her services consistently give us peace of mind that our fur babies are taken care of on days when we are gone all day! She always gives full details regarding her visits & the dogs are always happy to see her!”

“Amber is the BEST! She understands that I am a protective mama (okay, OVER protective) to my 12-year-old Shelley Dog, and so I don't worry so much when Shelley is in Amber's care. She is watchful of Shelley's arthritic hips, and shortens her walk if Shelley seems to be in any discomfort. I trust Amber implicitly.”

About: I love all animals. I myself have 2 of my own , but have had dogs my whole life. I’ve worked in dog boarding/doggy daycares before . I loved that job , I’d been a medical assistant but since Covid I’ve taken some steps back from because I’m also a single parent so I’m doing this to bring in some extra money and it’s something I’m familiar with and enjoy doing . Hope to hear from you and your furbabies and willing to compromise or work with schedules 🖤 I have an open schedule . I’m a single mom but I have care for her . She is really good with animals also since she’s been around them her whole life . I give them the best care and try to keep habits the same as our their owners were home and loving on themselves . Even providing meds if needed

“Patricia is very capable of taking care of your fur babies. I have two, a 7yr old weimerainer and a 2yr old mixed breed, high energy, squirrel chaser and they were happy when I returned. They were fed, walked and cared for. I look forward to her watching my girls in the future.”

About: *If you would like me to do multiple 30 minute vists or walks, please book drops ins/walks. If you book house sitting please be aware it’s only one visit per day and I do not stay over night at a clients home* Hello, my name is Courtney and I’m your pets new best friend! I’ve always been told I have a “way” with animals and it has helped me create an understanding of them, their behavior and psychology. I was fortunate enough to be raised in a household with multiple dogs, cats and even exotics. The care and well being of animals is something I’ve been passionate about my entire life. In the future I’d like to go into the animal care or behavioral field so I’m trying to get as much experience in with as many different animals as possible! Special needs/seniors/etc are not a problem for me. I can guarantee that I will treat your dogs (or cats) with the same love and respect I show my own pack.

About: I’ve had animals since I was 10 years old ranging from, dogs, fish, cats, chickens all kinds. I would love to take care of your fur babies and help you out! I can walk any animal weekdays after 6 pm and on the weekends, I can house animals throughout the week but I do have a 9-6 so they will be alone with my own animals during the day except on the weekends I will devote all the special time each animal needs whether that is giving extra play time for the higher energy walks or extra couch time for those home bodies. I have a big backyard completely fenced in.

About: I've owned dogs for 50 years. My love of dogs has even trickled down to my grand daughters, who actually call me Dogpaw instead of grandpa, lol. (that is true, btw) I am retired and actually prefer the company of animals to humans these days. Being retired gives me a lot of flexibility. My home is equipped with a dog door (medium size - up to probably 40 pounds can come and go as they please to the fenced backyard. I am 70 years old and retired from the music business. I have owned dogs every year for the last 50 years, though to be fair, my last two dogs were Terriers that lived to be 19 and 18, so just two for the last 37. I have lots of experience recognizing dogs' illness or need to see a vet. We have a great walking area less than a block from our house with a small park area. I have a fenced backyard and as mentioned, a nice, nearby walking area and neighborhood. My house has a dog door that allows most dogs up to 40 pounds or so easy access to the backyard. I typically walk most weekday mornings for a couple of miles, if the dog's ae and condition allow.

About: my hands-on experience and comfort with all kinds of pets. I’ve spent 2 years working at an animal hospital, so I’m trained to notice small changes in behavior, give basic medication, and handle pets with different care needs. I’m confident with puppies who need extra patience and training, and I’m also experienced with senior dogs who need gentler routines, slow walks, and a calm environment. I work part-time at an animal hospital, so caring for pets is a regular part of my schedule. I’m also still in high school, but I plan my classes and work hours in a way that leaves plenty of time for drop-ins, walks, and overnight care. Because I’m used to balancing school and my job, I’m very organized with my time. I’m able to fit morning, afternoon, or evening visits into my routine, and weekends are especially flexible for me. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy, so I always make sure I have the time and attention to give each pet the care they need. I always follow the routine their owner has in place so the pets feel safe and comfortable. I stick to their normal feeding schedule, give fresh water, and make sure they get plenty of attention and playtime. For dogs, I take them on their usual walks, keep them on leash at all times, and always stay aware of their surroundings. I send updates with photos so owners know how their pets are doing. During house-sitting stays, I make sure the home stays clean and respected, and I keep the pets close so they feel calm and not alone. I pay attention to behavior, eating habits, bathroom routines, and anything that might seem unusual — especially because of my experience working at an animal hospital.

“We had Megan come in the morning for a walk and in the evening for a check-in. This is the fourth time we have used Megan. We have always been happy with how she handles Finley Magee. We highly recommend Megan, and we will continue to have Megan watch Finley. This was the longest we spent time away from Finley Magee. It was hard for us to leave your 4-legged baby and I know it would be hard for our pup too. Megan put us at ease with her detailed progress reports during each visit. Megan’s knowledge, flexibility, compassion, and patience is incredible. By day 3, Finley was jumping around and excited to see Megan. We are very fortunate to have Megan help us with Finely Magee!”

“Highly recommend Sherry! We had a great experience. She made it easy to communicate and our pup loved her walk! Many thanks!”

About: Since I was in highschool and during college, I took care of animals for my friends, family, and community members. I am a big pet lover, and for the past 4 years I continued professionally pet-sitting and have gained more experience with a multitude of animals! I have a lot of experience with cats and dogs, young or old! Any furry friend can be entrusted with me for proper care and love while you enjoy some free-time! I currently work from 2pm-6pm on the weekdays, so I am available before or after that window of time on the weekdays! On the weekends, I have full availability. I will make sure to follow all rules and boundaries for example, furniture usage by pets, and will focus on providing a safe space for your pets, a balanced and consistent diet, regular exercise, and plenty of love and attention!

About: I've had many different pets ever since I was a child so I have a deep love for all animals. I have two fur babies of my own and I keep active so going on long walks or jogs with your fur baby is no problem. I look forward to meeting you and your little ones! I have plenty of time to look after your little ones while I'm in between jobs. I'm looking for online work so even after I am hired, I can still accommodate your schedule! I recieve instructions well and I am good about keeping notes! I can accommodate fur babies that need more specific diets at specific times. I am great at following household rules as well, such as no shoes in the house and so on. While I am unable to host your fur babies I find that most little ones prefer to stay in the comfort of their own homes.

About: I am a proud parent of a (king shepherd) named Anubis. I have recently lost my Lacey at her young age of 14 due to cancer. When a friend told me about this adorable puppy she was looking to find a home for who was abused and abandoned by the breeders due to him having flaws, I immediately knew I wanted him when she told me that. My friend showed up to my door with a puppy he was 8 months old and about 110lbs! He is now 150lbs and the happiest pup ever. I am able to choose what shift I want to take at my job therefore I am able to spend my days helping people with their fur babies as much as possible. I have a decent sized back yard, plus I will be home with the fur babies to play with them and walk and feed them.

About: As a devoted dog owner myself, I understand that pets aren't just animals they're family. My experience goes beyond the daily walks and feedings; it's built on reading their cues, managing different energy levels, and providing not just exercise, but patient companionship and reliable care. I am passionate about creating safe, joyful, and tailored routines that meet each pet's unique needs, giving you complete confidence while you're away. My schedule is very flexible during the school week! I am available Monday through Friday, starting after my classes finish around 2:00 PM, and can provide care for as long as needed through the evening. A key advantage of my schedule is that I am also available on most holidays, which can be a great help when your regular routine changes. Please note that I am not available on Saturdays or Sundays due to a prior work commitment. I am happy to work within my available hours to find a walking or care time that fits your pet's needs. Just let me know what you have in mind! My care is completely tailored to you and your pet's needs and routine. I offer flexible options to ensure their comfort and your peace of mind. Typically, I can come to your home for in house visits and walks, or I can take your dog out for adventures to local parks or on nature trails always in a safe, dog friendly environment. If you prefer and it's a good fit, I can also provide care at my home. My priority is following your lead and your pet's normal routine, so I'm happy to discuss what combination of at-your-place, on-the-go, or at-my-place care makes you most comfortable. Just let me know your preferences!
