Dog Walking Towngate

About: Hi! I'm Avery, a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I've had cats for the past 20 years and currently have an Aussie mix as well as two kitty boys, so I understand how important it is to find someone who will treat your pets like family. Over the years, I've also cared for friends' pets while they were away, including dogs and cats with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm and reliable companion nearby, I'll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I know that every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their routine, preferences, and any special instructions you provide. I'll always prioritize your pet's safety and happiness while keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. As a pet owner myself, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else's care. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable from our very first meeting. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I currently have a flexible schedule with open availability, allowing me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. Whether you need weekday walks, drop-in visits, weekend care, or last-minute bookings, I'll do my best to work with your schedule and provide reliable care for your pets. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special instructions before providing care. In your home, I'll respect your space while maintaining your pet's normal schedule to help them feel comfortable and secure. I always ensure pets have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a safe environment. I'll also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

“Ashley is great. She is always on time and very responsible. Our dog loves her and it’s always excited to see her. She has a very keen awareness of what he likes and doesn’t like, and what he needs. I would definitely recommend her.”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my whole life, ranging from babies to senior animals. I understand the importance of safety and love for your furry loved ones! I keep my Rover calendar up to date on a weekly basis. I am good with open/clear communication and will be transparent about my availability! I have a large fenced balcony on the first floor of my apartment building, with fake grass. I live near a lake, so I take my dog on multiple walks a day!

“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 have grown up with animals and currently have two dogs, Charlie and Chelsea! I grew up wanting to be a vet, which resulted in me learning all that I could about animals. I have so much love for them and would have a hundred of my own if I could! I am very responsible and respectful of what owners do and don’t want their pets to do. I have had both small and large dogs of my own throughout my life, so I am comfortable with all sizes and breeds. I work from home most days and have a flexible schedule. I love to get out and be active as much as I can during my week! I also love to relax, so an animal who just needs some company is great too. I have a fenced in yard at home and two friendly dogs (a Lab and a Border Collie Mix). They love to be outside and play.

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 recently used rover to help with my cat, and had an amazing experience and would love to give back to others and do the same! I’m around over Christmas and New Years and wanted to help people out that might need it while they’re traveling over the holidays. Reach out and let me know what you need and we can see what we can get done! I have a guest room I can use as a private space to cat sit. Looking for a way to give back and have fun while doing it :) I work from home and have flexibility to help out during the day or for longer visits when needed! I just need to know the schedule and can work to fit it in. I know every pet is different in what they need, so I just need to understand what your baby needs from me and will work to make them happy and comfortable while you’re away!

About: I am experienced with taking care of dogs and cats from all ages, sizes, and breeds. No matter your animals needs, we will be sure to leave your pets happy and healthy! I am an elementary school teacher so my schedule during the summer is very flexible. During the school year, weekdays are a bit more limited but the weekends I’m totally free! We are home to 3 cats which we pamper and love very much! I live in a house right next to a park which provides lots of running around and activities, which is perfect for any dog!

About: I’ve taken care of my weiner dog for 7 years now. I treat like she’s my real daughter and will take care of any furry animal the same. I have so much love I want to give to them! I have a lot of time that needs to be used up. I can do after 5pm on weekdays and ANY time during the weekends! On Mondays I can do earliest as 4pm! I walk a lot so if you need long walks for your energized dog, that is no problem! I also spend hours throwing the same toy and think of it as exercise for me AND the dog!

About: I have 1 year of hands-on experience working in an animal shelter in Mexico, caring for dogs and cats. I helped with bathing, feeding, and keeping animals calm and happy. I’m passionate about pets’ wellbeing, patient with every personality, and quick to learn how to meet each animal’s needs. Your pets will be safe, loved, and well cared for in my hands. I’m available in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings, so I can fit visits into your cat’s usual routine. I can also take dogs for walks in the mornings while caring for your cat at home. I adapt to each pet’s needs to keep them happy, safe, and loved. I provide safe, loving care either at my home or yours. I follow routines, offer food, cuddles, and playtime, and make sure pets feel happy, calm, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: As long as I could remember, I have had a furry friend next to me. Dogs have always been my passion. Friends, family and neighbors rely on me to accommodate their pets. I really started taking care of dogs when I was eight and since then, I haven’t stopped. Walking them, feeding, or even giving belly scratches will always be part of my routine. If you and your furry friend have different rules y'all follow, don’t be afraid to let me know! I want to make sure you and your friend feel comfortable. I welcome anything and anyone! I’m currently working a part time job, so i’ll have time for anything as of right now! I am also a college student but I only go to school twice a week. My availability varies since my job call me in when needed. But I always make time for my pets and can make time for yours! Having a healthy environment around your and my own pets, will be my top priority. Having time and space will help everyone in the long run. It’s important for me to reassure them and keep them comfortable as possible. It can be playing catch with them, taking them on walks or giving them endless belly scratches.

“It was great having someone walk my pups while I was out of town. I know they enjoyed their walks. The only complaint I have is inconsistency with being on time and not getting a heads up beforehand that you would be late or early.”

About: Hey there! I am lynnsee, a force free dog trainer and professional pet sitter that just moved to Texas! I have grown up with show dogs that I use to show in the AKC junior handler conformation, my parents have had dogs that ranged from American staffordshire terriers, Bully breeds, Belgian malinois, French bulldogs, GSD, chihuahuas so I am very experienced with a variety of dogs since a very young age. I also have plenty of experience with reactive dogs as I own a reactive dog and have worked with numerous dogs who have special triggers. I know a lot of dog owners struggle to find a trust worthy pet sitter with their reactive pup and I can totally help you out with that! I have experience and studied animal behavior, mental enrichment, basic force free training and FF training with reactivity/behavioral mods, leash handling skills, management, nutrition, physical enrichment for animals. Contact me today to schedule a meet and greet I have a dog training and pet sitting business so I work full time with my clients and their lovely fur babies! My routine is to wake up, let dogs out, feed/water them, dogs are usually fed from an enrichment toy (west paw, kong, slow feeder etc). My personal dogs and training client dogs start training an hour after breakfast for about 20-30 minutes then we play tug or go for a sniff walk for an hour while clients dogs are hanging out inside. Throughout the day I am rotating dogs from play areas to chill areas or outside so they have their own space and room to play or sleep. Dinner is around 6pm and is the same process as breakfast. House sitting routine- whatever routine your pup is on! I try to follow their routine as best as I can to insure nothing has “changed” for them :) I am force free and fear free professional pet sitter and trainer. Dogs that are crate trained can go in crates during down/chill time. With the dogs that are NOT crate trained or they have crate anxiety they will be loose inside the house with no crate time at all. Every dog is treated as my own and are loved as if they are the best thing on the planet (that’s because dogs are) I do not condone any violence or scare tactics used on animals.

About: I have a degree in animal science and 4 years of veterinary technician experience. I love working with all animals including but not limited to Dogs, Cats, and even Horses. Caring for pets is my most important activity. I dedicate myself to the care of pets full time. I am available all weekdays and most weekends. I can travel within a 30 mile radius of Garland TX, to take care of any animal(s) and their needs within the comfort of their home

“Amazing person to have watch your dog!”

About: I have been taking care of my dogs since I was a sophomore in college and now I am in graduate school. My dogs are my life and I treat them how I would any person. I am stern, yet gentle with my training, we go on daily walks and play time is all the time. I can show you better than I can tell you. My dogs are my daily routine. I get up at 7am faithfully and take both dogs to the restroom, then it’s feeding time, then it’s play time in the apartment, then it’s nap time. My dogs are on a strict schedule and love it. This is everyday, non stop until the right results are permanent. My apartment complex has a back yard fenced dog area. The puppies are safe and free to roam or run as they like and please.

About: I genuinely love every pet I care for I treat them like part of my family. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and pets with special needs, so I can handle anything from extra potty breaks and gentle walks to administering meds or following special routines. I’m reliable, attentive, and make sure each pet feels safe, happy, and loved while keeping their routine consistent. I’m a part-time esthetician and a full-time dog lover, so pet care fits easily into my routine. I plan my days around walks, feedings, and playtime, and I’m flexible enough to give pets the time and attention they deserve throughout the day. I offer pet care in my home or yours whatever works best for you! I live in a pet friendly apartment with two dog parks, so your pup will get plenty of safe playtime and exercise. At my place, I keep things clean, cozy, and stick to your pet’s routine. I also offer in-home sitting where I follow your exact instructions so your pet stays comfortable in their own space. I’m reliable, attentive, and always make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved. Plus, I’ll keep you updated while you’re away 🙂
