Dog Walking Trails

About: Hi, I'm Leslie! This is my alternative option since my husband refused to allow me and adopt another fur baby 😅. I've had dogs my entire life. From the time I was a toddler, dogs have been a constant and beloved presence in my world. Growing up, my family always had at least one furry friend, and caring for them became second nature to me. I’ve owned dogs of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments, and each one has taught me something new about love, patience, and responsibility. My daily routine includes long, enjoyable walks, playful training sessions, and careful grooming to keep my dogs healthy and happy. I understand the importance of personalized care and make sure to tailor my approach to meet each dog's unique needs and personality. My home is filled with love and laughter, with plenty of toys, cozy spots for naps, and, of course, lots of belly rubs. My lifelong experience with dogs has given me a deep understanding of their behavior and needs, ensuring they always feel safe, loved, and well-cared for. I genuinely love dogs and find immense joy in their companionship. If you’re looking for a reliable, passionate, and experienced dog sitter, I’d be thrilled to take care of your furry friend as if they were my own. MEET AND GREET REQUIRED Dogs MUST be vaccinated. I’m an elementary teacher who is off in the summer and looking to keep myself occupied during this long break at home. I’m home all day basically unless I run to the store. I live in a house with a big back yard where your fur babies can run around and enjoy nature! We will always have someone out there as well to make sure everything is okay.

“Elle did amazing with walking my puppy during the day while I was at work. She always let me know if there were any issues and the photos she got of my goofy dog were the highlight of my work days. I will absolutely use her again if I ever need to!”

“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: *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.

“Citlali was amazing and really helped us out. Tux loves her.”

“Cristina has come to the rescue for me again! This week with my schedule was very hectic, she fit Lily in for afternoon walks, which is truly a huge help during my work day. She is always on time, Lily is ecstatic to see her when she pulls in (very good sign), and when she brings Lily home she gives me an update. I cannot recommend Cristina enough, she is incredibly reliable!”

“Ashley is awesome! Our dog loved spending time with her and she always sends multiple pictures and status updates for us! We highly recommend her to take care of your pup!!”

I love dogs and cats and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I am recently unemployed and decided to commit full time to pet care. For the most part, I can be available whenever you need me, even if it happens to be last minute. I have my reliable transportation, so getting to and from your location will never be a problem. I am fully comfortable with dogs of all shapes and sizes, and I am very gentle with all pets and animals. thank you! I am currently unemployed, apart from taking a few online summer classes, so I am usually always available during the week and on most weekends.

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 cared for dogs for more than 15 years. I have had 4 dogs in my life. I truly have always had a love for animals since I was young. It’s always been my responsibility to walk them, clean up after them & bathe them. I’ve always taken great pride in my care for my fur babies. They are part of my family & I would love to care for as many as I am able to. I’ve been taking care of dogs & cats for 15+ years, it’s been in my daily routine for so long I hope to keep up with that for a long time. I am not working right now just in school so I have plenty of free time to be with your precious babies. All my pets are indoor pets. I occasionally let them go outside in the yard but always supervised. My cats are also indoor as I cannot trust them to stay safe outdoors. When I walk my dogs they are stay on a leash.

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: 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 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've owned dogs all my life. A home is not a home if you don't have paw pals. If I care for your baby I will take care of him as if he were mine. They will go for walks everyday. We will play fetch. I also have a fenced yard so they will be safe and well taken care of. Your pet will not be bored. I have one dog myself and she is solid rotten. I do work but, I do 3 days on 4 days off. My son is home during the day, and he's off on weekends. He loves to play with the dogs, and he also helps walk the dogs when needed. 😍 Your baby will go for walks everyday. We will play fetch.
