Dog Walking Sweet Home

About: Hello Texas! I am a La Vernia area Rover contractor. I can service La Vernia, New Berlin, Marion, Adkins, and Sutherland Springs area, and possibly into Seguin or McQueeney. Just ask! 😊 I have a ton of special needs dog and cat experience Just let me know what you need! I'm excited to be here. As you can see from my Iowa reviews I was well liked and had several repeat clients. I will go out of my way to accommodate. I have also had a several dozen clients in Texas since starting here. Rover doesn't always give you an accurate number if there are multiple visits, mulitple animals, cats only, holidays, etc. I will adjust it! *I also do cat care: rates will depend on the number of cats, the number of days, and if there is a dog also. I will give each person a custom rate based on these. House sitting for cats only isn't an option, I will give you a custom cat visit rate (let's face it, they don't need me there all night!) : ) You can be assured you will always get a very reasonable rate. ABOUT ME: A have a lifetime of pet care experience. I grew up with cats and dogs and have had both as an adult (so that is a lot of pet years. 174 in dog years, I think). I have had two different seniors with special needs (one is with me currently). I love them all! My pets are members of my family and I treat them as such. I will do the same for yours. I am comfortable with all sizes, ages, special needs, med administration, etc. Kitty will get love too! If I am house sitting or doing drop in visits while you are away, I can also take care of trash/recycling day, plants, mail. Just ask! Part of the reason we moved was so I could rescue animals. So far, just in Texas, we have rescued 120 dogs, cats, cows, and goats. 30 of the dogs and cats have gone on to be adopted in the Pacific NW and are loving their new lives. 😍 I can accommodate preparing/feeding their special diets if you have them on one (raw food, homemade dog food, etc). Any other questions? Please just ask! Leaving your pets can be hard. My goal is to make that easier for you! I also have a farm sanctuary and we have rescued dogs, cats, cows, goats, hens, guinea pigs, and rabbits. My hours are flexible and animals are my whole life! I am not currently taking animals in my home as I am full with fosters! At your home, I will spend time playing and/or walking on visits depending on client wishes when visiting their home for check-ins or dog walking. I am able to handle all size dogs and multiple dogs. I am able to handle medication administration and various medical procedures. I love cats just as much as I love dogs!

About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up around dogs — and raising my own Doberman, Skyla and Chihuahua, Bunny — I truly can’t imagine life without them! Caring for dogs isn’t just my job, it’s something I genuinely love. Dog care is my full-time business, so I’m home throughout the week to make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I do not kennel dogs unless requested by the owner, but if your dog is crate-trained or prefers their own kennel setup, I’m happy to accommodate that in my living room space. We have a fully fenced yard for supervised play, exercise, and lots of tail wags. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns — I’m always happy to chat and make sure you feel confident leaving your pup in my care!

“Reliable, friendly, and great with my dog! I appreciate the care and attention. Highly recommend!”

“Michelle was very flexible to our needs and extremely quick to respond. She took wonderful care of our dog and gave him a ton of attention and exercise. She sent us updates and pictures during her visit. I know we will go with Jacque again and we highly recommend her!!”

About: Hello I’m Abi and I’ve had dogs for many years and two male cats currently for 3 years! I absolutely love animals and know how to read them very well so I have no problem handling a shy or naughty pet. I look heavily into cat and dog health and am currently in online schooling for veterinary assistants. I have online schooling that I can do anytime on my laptop so I will never need to go to the school itself. Other than that I am currently unemployed and just interested in pet sitting gigs! I’m in an apartment but am willing to drive to your home everyday or stay at your home and watch your pets! I am very respectful towards non smoker homes, always ask before doing anything, and will keep your home cleaner than you left it.

About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs through family and friends, including puppies only a few months old, adult dogs, and senior dogs. I’m comfortable with walks, potty breaks, feeding routines, playtime, and giving pets extra patience and attention based on their needs. I also have experience providing oral and rectal medications when needed. I deeply care for all dogs and always do my best to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved during my visits. I’m a nursing student with a flexible schedule, and pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. I enjoy spending my free time with animals and can make time for walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and giving pets the attention they need. I like having a routine, so I make sure pets stay on their normal schedule as much as possible. I care for every pet like they are my own. In my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and supervised. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding routines, medication needs, crate instructions, and any house rules. I also like to send updates and pictures so owners feel comfortable knowing their pets are being cared for.

About: I have experience taking care of dogs and grew up with dogs my whole life. I just finished 1 year working at a doggy daycare and absolutely loved it! I have experience taking care of all ages of dogs from puppy’s to seniors! I just moved from Michigan to Texas so i’m still figuring out my schedule but I plan to work with dogs as a side job. I currently care for 2 adorable cats. My roommate and I feed them twice a day and play with them a ton! We actually just recently adopted the second one so we’re working on getting the cats used to eachother still and introducing them the right way!

“We left a tip for Tim for two weeks ago! We forgot! He has picked up extra assignments and still manages to include us in his ever expanding daily routine. Thank you!”

About: I’ve always had a soft spot for fur babies — they’re not just pets, they’re family. I take my own senior girl with me wherever I go, and I bring that same level of care and love to every pup I visit. From playful puppies to wise seniors, I have hands-on experience and a heart for each stage of their journey. Whether your dog needs a walk, company, or a little extra TLC, I’m here to help with kindness and reliability you can trust. As a busy realtor, wife, mom, great-grandmother, and proud senior boxer mom, my days are full — but there’s always room in my heart (and schedule) for the dogs I care for. Pet care isn’t just a side job; it’s a natural extension of the love I already give my own fur baby every day. Walks, visits, and companionship fit right into my routine — and I treat every pup like part of the family. When I visit your dog in their own home, I treat them like they’re part of my family — with patience, kindness, and plenty of love. I respect their routines and comfort, making sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or just quiet company, I’m there to give your furry friend the care and attention they deserve.

“My dog is extremely anxious and walking did not help. Julian was fantastic and was kind and patient. Thank you Julian.”

“Ashely immediately established a positive rapport with our possibly difficult dog and continued building that relationship throughout her contract. Both our dog and cat were well and fine upon our arrival home. Ashley's communication was thorough and consistent. Doppler got walked at least once each day weather permitting. Both dog and cat received good interaction and playtime each day. We recommend Ashely to anyone for either dog or cat care.”

About: I've owned to dogs in the spanned of 12 years. Both 100 plus pounds, I've also worked with medium size breeds and toy breeds. I also own exotic and cats. I have worked in the retail industry catering towards animals and have volunteered sitting for farm animals. I'm at the moment working towards a degree in veterinary medicine full time. I do not work so this would be my main source of income. Since I am fully dedicating previously my time to school. Close monitoring and calm approach to any situation or environment are essential when it comes to the care of animals in my possession. Patience and building a bond is also very important and key to building a long lasting relationship with my animals.

About: I am a nature lover! I enjoy taking my dogs, Rosemary & Kuzca, on exciting hikes and engaging adventures. We love visiting the river, the dog park, hitting nature trails around town, and quality play time at home. I also love cuddling up with my cat, Bee, when she will let me! I have always loved animals and wanted animal companions since I was a child. From dogs & cats to birds to snakes, the list of animals I’ve had under my care goes on. One thing that sets me apart is my desire to provide exquisite care for my furry/scaly/feathered friends. Every animal deserves to live a high quality life and it brings me so much joy to provide them with that. I continuously grow as a pet parent. I’m always researching new ways to improve my care techniques by staying up to date on things like nutrition, stimulation, and training. I work from home and decide my own schedule so I have a lot of flexibility in how I want to shape my day. This makes it so convenient for taking care of fur babies! We have a fenced yard that is perfect for a short zoomie sesh. Plus we have a gated dog park in our community that we frequent. I always try and incorporate as much outside time as possible.

About: Hi, I'm Dani! I've always believed the world is a little softer because animals are in it. I've spent years caring for pets of every kind through professional pet sitting and my background in veterinary medicine, and somewhere along the way, I realized there isn't much that makes me happier than earning an animal's trust. Whether they're the fearless adventurer who can't wait for a walk, the anxious soul who needs someone patient beside them, or the senior whose favorite hobby is finding the warmest patch of sunlight, I love getting to know them exactly as they are. As a professional photographer by trade, I tend to notice the little things. The happy dance before dinner. The goofy grin after a game of fetch. The slow blink from a cat who's finally decided you're worthy of their friendship. So don't be surprised if your updates include a few frame-worthy portraits along the way. I can't help myself. My priority is never just checking off a to-do list. It's preserving your pet's routine, respecting their personality, and making sure they feel safe, enriched, and genuinely loved until you're home again. Whether that means long walks, muddy adventures, enrichment games, medication schedules, or simply sharing a quiet afternoon on the couch, I'll meet them where they are. I know what it feels like to leave a piece of your heart in someone else's hands. That's exactly why I care the way I do. My hope is simple: that when you walk back through your front door, your pet is happy, your home is just as you left it, and you never once had to wonder if they were being cared for. I'd be honored to love your best friend like one of my own. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule because I intentionally plan my calendar well in advance. I balance several freelance roles, so staying organized is second nature to me. I keep my Rover calendar updated regularly, which means if my profile shows that I'm available, you can trust that I've set aside the time to give your pet the attention and care they deserve. My home is intentionally dog-friendly, with a spacious, securely fenced backyard that's perfect for zoomies, exploring, and soaking up the sunshine. We have a doggie door for easy outdoor access, bubble windows built into the fence for the cutest neighborhood watch imaginable, and a wonderful neighborhood filled with peaceful walking trails for safe daily adventures. Even my furniture is pet friendly because I believe dogs should feel at home, not like they're tiptoeing around someone else's. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I strive to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I'll carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise preferences, and any house rules you've established because I know those familiar routines help pets feel safe, comfortable, and confident while you're away.
