Dog Walking Town North Village

About: Hi! I’m Kristen. I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud Labradoodle mom to my girl, Ecko. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets, and I treat every animal in my care like they’re part of my own family. I work from home as a recruiter, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I provide care exclusively in your home, where your pets are most comfortable and can stick to their normal routine. Services I Offer: * 🐶 Dog Walking * 🏡 House Sitting (Overnights in Your Home) * Drop-In Visits * 🐱 Cat Care * Medication Administration * Feeding & Fresh Water * Exercise & Playtime * Potty Breaks & Litter Box Cleaning * Light Grooming (Brushing, Paw Wipes, etc.) * Photo & Video Updates * Care for Other Pets (Just Ask!) I’ve been caring for dogs for over 8 years and have experience with cats, puppies, senior pets, and pets that need medication or a little extra patience. Every pet has their own personality, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each one happy and comfortable. Whether you’re heading out for the day or taking a longer trip, my goal is for you to have complete peace of mind. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages, and I’ll make sure your pets get the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets. Feel free to reach out with any questions—I look forward to hearing from you! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home as a recruiter, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate time throughout the day to caring for pets. Whether it’s a midday walk, drop-in visit, feeding, medication administration, or simply spending quality time with a pet, I can easily accommodate visits during the day, evenings, and many weekends. As a proud Labradoodle mom of 8 years, caring for animals has been part of my everyday life for a long time. Spending time with pets is genuinely something I enjoy, and I love being able to use my flexible schedule to help local pet owners while giving their pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I also know how important communication is when you’re away from your pet. During visits, I provide plenty of updates, photos, and videos so you can see exactly how your furry family member is doing and have peace of mind knowing they’re happy, safe, and well cared for. I care for every pet as if they were my own. In a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of affection and attention. I understand that consistency helps pets feel comfortable and secure while their family is away. I always respect my clients’ homes, keep things clean and tidy, and provide regular updates, photos, and communication so pet parents can have peace of mind. Safety is my top priority, and I pay close attention to each pet’s individual personality, needs, and preferences. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, cuddling on the couch, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I’m happy to accommodate what makes them happiest. 🐾

“Matthew has been very communicative on every walk! The rover card is great to have for pictures, and Matthew takes such cute ones of Poppy! He’s very patient and comes with treats!”

“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!”

Your pet’s comfort and safety come first.

“Maria showed up on very short notice to walk Pete for the first time. First she allowed some time for him to feel comfortable around her before taking him on a long walk. He came back very happy and wagging in full force. Will use Maria again. Highly recommend!!”

About: I am a Licensed Veterinary Technician with 30 years experience caring for dogs, cats, pet birds, chickens, small mammals, reptiles, and other "non-traditional" pets. In addition to dogs and cats, my own pets have included rabbits, ferrets, box turtles, parrots, finches, and even a Texas spiny lizard! Do you have a senior dog or cat that needs some extra care and attention during the day? Or a special needs pet that has unique medical needs the average person may not be prepared to handle? Or how about a new puppy that needs mid-day potty breaks while you are at work, and could also use a few extra minutes of training to learn good habits? As a Fear Free Certified Professional, I only use reward-based training methods so your pet will look forward to my visits! I currently work full-time from home. My work schedule is unique which gives me the opportunity to provide mid-day walks and drop-in visits, as well as evening check-ins. I value the trust you place in someone to care for your furry, feathered, or scaled family member in the same manner that you would. I have dedicated my life to caring for and providing medical care for other people's pets, and will look after your pets as if they were my own!

“Crystal was awesome and kept me informed of everything with Ozzy. Will definitely use her again!”

About: Our pet family started almost by accident. Dark night, middle of busy intersection, an elderly dog was trying to navigate traffic. No tags, hungry and mostly blind. My husband and I were able to get him into car. We took him home, fed the little guy, cleaned him up, named him Charlie. He changed our lives. Since then, we’ve been blessed us with a number of dogs and cats throughout the years. Some have not been healthy and needed care and some are just seniors! Each one has brought us joy. After many years as interior designer, retired to part time this past September 2024. Now, to pursue hobbies and life’s next adventure! My schedule is built on the value I can bring to folks that need pet care, just like Gary and I have needed for our pets over the years. You should be able to have the personal freedom you need and not worry about your precious fur babies. They will be secure in my care. Expect pics to put your mind at ease! First and foremost fur babies are family. Boundaries are set. If staying in our home, we have a safe quiet (pet) bedroom /play area. We can play soothing, calming, music. Toys ready to throw, pillows, snuggle blankets ready for tucking and snuggling. Hugs and kiss are free and abundant! Let the fun and love begin! They quickly let us know what’s next! Play? Walk? Snuggle? Note: sleeping with your baby is possible, can be discussed. Their safety is the consideration.

About: As a dedicated pet sitter with hands-on experience, I’ve successfully potty-trained three dogs and spent a couple weeks working alongside a professional trainer to deepen my skills. My goal is to provide your pets with a safe, loving, and structured environment that feels like home. Whether it’s playtime, training reinforcement, or plenty of cuddles, I’m here to make sure your furry family members are well-cared for and happy while you’re away. I work from home a couple of days a week and I’m 5 minutes from my office so I can run home for potty breaks. I love dog walks, throwing the ball or cuddling on the couch. I have a completely fenced yard with a security camera. I will keep the dogs inside unless it’s potty or playtime. I have a Bernadoodle and he sleeps in the bed with me.

About: What sets me apart is my personalized approach to pet care and my dedication to ensuring each pet feels comfortable, loved, and safe.

About: I have accumulated a multitude of pet care experiences throughout my life with the pets of my friends, extended family, neighbors, and my own.

I love animals, and I hope to treat yours with all the attention, care, and love they deserve! Currently, my schedule is extremely flexible. I do not have any job commitments at the moment, so if your pet needs a little extra care, I have time for them!

I operate with reliability and responsibility that ensures that I will follow through on bookings and specific care that your pet may require.

About: I've had cats and dogs ever since I've been alive. I have been pet sitting and dog walking for family, friends and neighbors for 20+ years.

I will care for your fur baby in your home and on the streets, sidewalks and areas that you feel are safest for your pet in your neighborhood.

“Jill arrived just a few minutes early so she could start Dash's walk right on time. Our tail wagged welcomed her at the door and really enjoyed his walk. This was the first time Jill B. walked out dog and we will definitely use her services again! Thanks Jill!”

About: I currently have 2 dogs - Morkies (Yorkies and Maltese mix). Pets have always been a part of my life.

Please don't leave them home alone. Contact me and enjoy your time away from home - your pets will be in great hands with attentive care. My schedule is flexible which allows me the opportunity to be home during the day, and all nights. Please, no aggressive dogs. I will make sure that your dogs are comfortable and safe with me.

I have hard floors for easy clean-up. I also provide extra blankets to keep your furbabies warm. I also have a separate eating area set up for your furbabies. I keep one extra crate, if needed when you bring your dog.

About: Animal lover with many years of experience, tons of references can be provided, founder of a non-profit animal rescue. Your dog will beg to come back I currently work remote from home other than occasional visits to clients in the metroplex. Dogs are frequently let out in 2-4 hour windows (unless special needs are requested and I will gladly accommodate) for potty and play time Fenced backyard yard, two senior dogs, a standard poodle and a Chi-mix, who are pet friendly and are accustom to having all ages and breeds of dogs come for occasional boarding.

About: Paw-parent to the sweetest 4 year old Frenchton. As a former corporate employee in an office, I know the struggles of finding time to give dogs the attention and stimulation they deserve. I’m here to make your life a little easier and provide great care for your best friend. I’ve taken care of family pets since high school but became a first time paw-parent in 2020. My partner Johnny also helps me and he is home during the day since he works from home. I currently have lots of free time and can look over your pets almost any day of the week. Spring break is around the corner and my calendar is filling up fast. Please book soon for March dates. Furry friends will be taken out 4-5 times a day. Can accommodate to more times if needed. Pets will be kept inside the home for boarding at all times. (Potty breaks are done outside in the backyard which is fenced.) If walks are required they will only be done if the weather is safe for pets and me. My current pet Peppers will be at my home if you are boarding but in a completely different part of my home.

About: I’ve been professionally dog/house sitting and walking dogs for the past 3 years! I’ve cared for many breeds, from pugs to catahoulas, and for cats as well. I really love animals (and they love me), so their happiness and health is of the utmost importance to me. I do work but when I am watching a pet they are a priority to me. I use my breaks to let out/check on the animals and am sure to give them the attention and love they need. I will walk or let out your dog frequently - I always want them to feel comfortable. My reliability is how I’ve been able to turn dog-sitting into a side job. I have many previous clients who trust me completely and can provide those references.
