Dog Walking The Colony

About: Since I’ve had a lab from puppy to sending him off puppy heaven 😭 I am well experienced with taking care of any dog in all stages of life. Now I help with friends and family’s puppies when needed. I am currently working remotely, so my schedule is flexible and I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pup! As an active person, walks are always more enjoyable with a companion. Understanding every dog is handled differently, I can accommodate to what your routine is! Please don’t hesitate to let me know what your pup's feeding schedule, potty habits, or any specific rules you follow at home are so I can keep their day as normal as possible.

“Aivy is always so good with my baby . She has a very calm and relaxing demeanor which helps Athena. I love all the pictures and updates I get while she is there. I highly recommend Aivy!”

“Caitlyne is reliable, communicative, and very gentle with my dog. Will book with her again.”

“Sarah is truly great! Upon meeting her, the dog instantly took a liking to her (and the cat did not take off under the bed). She quickly jumped in and has been a blessing as she comes in and gives the dog a potty break and a chance to stretch her legs/burn off some energy. My puppy is a giant breed so her playful mess can be "a lot." Her photos of their walk and the time she takes to love on the cat are a bright spot in my work day. And best of all, I don't worry about my girls while I'm away.”

About: I have 20+ years of experience owning, loving, and caring for dogs. I've cared for many diverse breeds with diverse personalities. I'm comfortable administering medications, catering to special needs, or diets. I offer reliability and a calming presence that puts both pets and owners at ease. I also have 2 very friendly small dogs of my own (4 and 8 years old) that I raised from puppies! I am currently working part-time so I do have flexibility. I am taking new and returning clients Monday- Friday (Dogs ONLY) at the moment for walking or in-home care. I am willing to work some Saturdays and Sundays with a 3 day or more advance notice. Just send me a message! I’m available for morning, afternoon, or evenings for walks, and I’m happy to coordinate care around your pet’s routine to ensure consistency and comfort. I also aim to provide clear communication and dependable scheduling so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands while you’re away. I like to conduct meet and greets to make sure we are a good fit. If you choose me to walk or watch your pet I will provide photo/video updates, I keep pet areas tidy, and maintain a consistent routines to reduce pet anxiety. I will also take your pet on walking trips or to local dog parks upon request. I also have 2 very friendly small dogs of my own that can keep your pet company.

“We truly appreciate the twice-weekly dog walks for our sweet, senior dog. Kathleen is so nice and easy-going; she really makes a difference in our lives. We can trust her with a key and know our dog gets love, exercise and enjoys the sunshine while we’re at work.”

About: I am the designated dog sitter amongst my friends. I have taken care of my brother's dog for a month, a friend's dog for 2 months, and many times more with 8 years of dog sitting experiences. Since I do not have a dog of my own, I treat all the dogs I take care of as my own. This means they will be well fed, exercised, and bathed in joy :) I work a hybrid schedule so this creates flexibility on my end to watch you pet for the whole day when I work from home. I am an active person so I try to go for a 20 minute walk everyday and by providing pet care, this creates a win win situation for me and the pet! On weekends, I enjoy going for a run, if your pet is active, I can take the dog out for a jog too. I have a fenced yard and live in a pet friendly neighborhood with easy access to trail. Pets are allowed on the couch for comfort.

“Kyra has been the best walker for our dog! She’s always prompt and on time, communicates well, and leaves our dog nice and tired after her walks. I appreciate you Kyra! Highly recommend.”

“Tatyana is great! Was able to come by for a last minute walk. Updated me on everything that happened. Will be asking her for help again in the future :)”

About: From furry babies to senior care, I have worked with all types of pets. I am very adaptable to any specific needs your pet may have. You let me know and I can make it happen! Im reliable and dependable, always being on time. Daily, weekly or whatever your needs may be..its my pleasure to accommodate your schedule. Im flexible to work with you on whatever your pet may need. With the convenience of coming to you, your pet is always happy and comfortable in their own environment. From daily visits to house sitting, your pet is always taken care of.

About: I’ve been a dedicated dog owner for over 20 years and truly treat every dog like family. In addition to raising my own pups, I’ve fostered dogs, volunteered with a rescue organization, and have been providing pet care through Rover since 2019. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of caring for hundreds of dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your dog loves to play, cuddle, or simply relax, I’ll provide the same love, attention, and care that I give my own. My goal is to make sure both you and your pup feel comfortable, confident, and stress-free while you’re apart. About me: Typically I work from home 2 days a week but those days are flexible and I’m home on the weekends. I volunteer for DFW Boxer Rescue and have fostered a couple dogs for them. I am a HUGE Boxer lover so if you have a Boxer...🙋🏼‍♀️ please, pick me!! If you want to know more about me or see photos and videos of my Rover dogs feel free to ask for any photos and/or videos. When I say that I treat pets like my children, it is no exaggeration! We treat all dogs like they are our own and they even sleep in the bed with us. I have crates for when they are needed (or wanted) but I do not require them nor do I want to use them unless necessary (which is mainly for meal time). I prefer for the dogs to roam the house and get comfortable like this is their own home.

“Nicole did an excellent job. She helped with the dog walks while my mother in law was recuperating. She is prompt, personable and the dog loved her!”

“My saving grace!!! She was available last minute and a complete angel with my scared pup! Thank you for being flexible and so loving and patient with my dogs!! Thank you, thank you!!!!”

“Christine did a fantastic job with my 3. Every time I got a full, detailed report and photos and I know she is a true pet lover based on our conversation. When there was a problem getting in the house she contacted me immediately and we found a solution. Excellent service!”

About: I don’t just walk dogs — I read their body language, match their pace, and make every outing feel like their favorite adventure, and fun. I shape my day around the pets I care for. That means whether your pup needs a morning stroll, a midday break, or evening exercise, I make sure their needs come first in my schedule. When I dog sit, I treat your pup and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own pets and home.

About: I've been around dogs and cats my entire life. I lost my Yorkie a few years back. Then after sometime decided it was time for another pup. She needed a companion so I then adopted a kitten who is now 5. They are the best of friends. Over the years I have helped sit for my friends, and have helped with potty training, bathing, and walking their pets. My pets mean the world to me and I will treat your babies with the same love and care. I have flexibility throughout the week which will allow me to care for your fur baby through-out the day. Availability is limited on Mondays. Please contact me for those times- I can usually make it work! I will ensure that your pet(s) are well taken care, feel comfortable and loved. If your pet is one who refuses to eat while you’re away, rest assured that this will not be the case when I’m with them.

About: My family has worked with rescue groups since I was little, so taking care of dogs and cats is second-nature to me! Neighbors and friends have relied on me to walk, feed, and care for their pets for years and I have two of my own dogs that are my fur-babies and get only the best love and attention. I will treat your pets as I would treat my own! I am home full-time and my husband works from home, so there will always be someone here with the dogs. I'm available for boarding on weekends and weekdays as needed. I can check on your pets at your house and take them on regular walks. I have a fenced yard and doggy door for easy access to the backyard, if your pet can't decide on in or out. I have two friendly dogs to play with and can crate your pet if they would be more comfortable in their own space.

“We absolutely love Alpa! She is wonderful. Have booked her several times, and she is always prompt and great with our pup. Would definitely recommend!”
