Dog Walkers in Trinidad, TX

About: While I too enjoy traveling I know how it can be when you can’t take your 4 legged family member(s) with you. I have 3 of my own Lionhead )fluff ball) bunnies of my own. I love fur babies of all breeds, shapes and sizes. While I don't have a dog or cat due to my hubbies allergies. I do love them all. Most of my friends or family have dog(s)/cat(s) and they all seem to love me and want my attention when I visit family and friends. When I 1st moved to Dallas my friend needed someone to let her dog out a couple times of day due to her long work hours. I was there to let Jackie out to potty and socialize. I became his Auntie Robin. Now every time I go to visit my friend he thinks I'm there for him and walk and play time. Of course I do this as he is so loveable I'm happy to go for a walk and play with my fur friend while visiting with my friend. I recently cared for my neighbors large and small dogs, 2 cats and a bird on a last minute need while they went away for the holiday weekend. I did home visit twice a day as requested. I would spend 30-45 minutes at the home as the owners requested. The dogs knew me & I was like family. They were happy to see me. I feed them, played with them, let them out to potty and gave appropriate treats for good behavior. My last day they dogs laid on top of me like I was their family. The dogs also listened to me when it was time to kennel them even though they didn't want to go in they did. I currently volunteer for the past 12 years with a domestic rabbit rescue. I go out to the rescue when I can to help, feed, care for special needs bunnies, clean up them yard/x-pens where the bunnies are housed. I give medication when needed. Including medication by means of oral, drops and shots. Including helping with the rescue I also foster bunnies in my home in addition to my 2 fur babies of lionhead bunnies. One of which can be seen in my pictures. Pet sitting/house sitting is my primary job. I enjoy spoiling my pets along with my clients pets. This makes my clients able to enjoy holiday or work trips without worry. As I make sure to treat the clients pet like my own and give lots of love and care like their human. Every pet not matter if my pet, friends, family or a client is an important part of my life when I’m with them. I make sure they know I’m there for them and I will love and care for them at all times.

About: I have had animals my entire life! They are my best friends! I have always had a passion for animals! Animals are so special to this world! I am currently working at a hospital full time. I am looking for some extra money to go to school. And would love to meet your pets! I have a big yard to play and have fun in! I have 3 dogs that live to make friends and play!! I have kennels for the ones that are crate trained.

About: My name is Jessica and I am a graduate from Tarleton State University with a degree in Biomedical Science and a Pre-Vet concentration. I was raised on a farm consisting of many different animals such as sheep, goats, horses, mules, chickens dogs and cats! I clearly love all types of animals and work very well with them. I’m super patient and I’m experienced in handling aggressive/anxious dogs and even those spicier cats. All my life I’ve lived with at least 3 dogs at a time. Currently I care for 5 dogs in total - I live in a ranch - so unfortunately I won’t be able to care for any here at my home. However, I am committed to providing you the best service and ease of mind when caring for your pets anywhere else! I currently work at Equine Veterinary Services in Terrell and plan on going to vet school in the next year - animals are my everything. You can set your worries aside knowing that I’m dedicated to making sure your pets are safe, healthy and happy in my care! While I’m at a clients home, I make sure I know the boundaries set and the reassure them that I am only there for taking care of their pup. I work at vet clinic in Terrell, with a varying work schedule, but I will 100% let you be aware of when I am or am not available to watch your pet! I will do my very best to have my calendar updated with my current work schedule as soon as I know it! While your pet is in my care, at my house, I will do my absolute best to keep their routine the same as if they were at their own home. I have a front yard that they can stretch their legs and run around. When I’m staying at my clients home I will always treat it with respect and professionalism. I will update you if anything happens (messes, something breaking, injury, etc.) and I always take pictures of your pets to send while y’all are away!

About: I have had dogs my entire life, as a four years ago I got an orange cat and could not choose between either for the life of me. I cannot wait to meet and take care of your fur babies :) I am currently in nursing school only taking up 2 to 3 days a week. I am not available for on boarding in my home yet due to my animals. I make sure that the bowls are always full, or their food has been given on time along with medication if needed. I also make sure they are getting as much outside time as they can get.

About: I have worked consistently with a couple families and several drop in services for family friends! I have taken the wonderful doggos on walks, assisted with their medications, fed them, provided baths/brushed their fur, gave them extra pets/hugs. I can provide basic animal care, I always do my best to observe their body language as well to make sure they feel comfortable and safe. I have also helped with a special needs doggo who was blind, gave him his medicine, guided him through his backyard to use the restroom, etc. I would also love to provide any cleaning such as cleaning their bowls, vacuuming up any hair, cleaning crates, etc. I do work full time on the weekends during the night and a few days of babysitting during the day during the week, but I am always flexible with my schedule! I always listen to the let parents and how their schedule typically is and go off of that, I really do love animals so I’ll spend more time playing with them, especially if the doggo wants that play time and extra love!

About: I grew up working on my grandmothers farm and helped managed a rescue of birds, reptiles, farm animals, rodents and house pets. I now have three dogs and rebuilding my farm! I’m a stay at home mom for a 9and 3 year old but I’m pretty flexible with time as I have help! I can work with what ever schedule you have and if not and can work to help find someone for you! I have an extensive history of caring for pets, whether my own or others, including feeding, playing with them, talking to them, keeping them company, and much more while their owners are away, at others home I try to play and confer them as much as possible try and keep them on their routine and try not to change much of their daily style.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats for the last 4 years. Weather it’s them coming to my home or me going to yours. Thank you! I am currently working part-time so I will have plenty of time to play and live on your pup, they need as much as attention as possible. I have two small inside dogs who are friendly with other dogs. My daughter will also be around to help entertain,cuddle if they like it. Also willing to crate if needed

“Ingrid was super great with our new puppy today. She sent me videos and pictures of my girl playing. She did everything I asked. I definitely plan to use her in the future.”

About: I currently have two kittens about a year old. I’ve always had pets throughout my life. Dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, bearded dragons. I even had a prairie dog for a while. I love animals and getting to know each of their unique personalities. My work days aren’t totally set but I am able to be flexible when needed. I work Monday-Friday and have the weekends off. My days/hours can be switched as long as I have time to make them aware. I can’t board in my home but I’m happy to come to yours. I like to come by in advance for us to meet, and for me to get acquainted with your fur friends. It’s important to me that all of us are comfortable. I take notes of everything because every animal is different, just like us. I’m more than happy to send daily pictures/updates as often as you want. My goal is for you to have the most stress free trip away as possible.

About: I have always had Cats, dogs, horses, rabbits, chickens & farrets. Out of the 7 dogs I currently have, 3 are rescues. I manage our home owned and operated professional dog grooming salon, right on my home property. (Diving K9). I currently work part time for our other home owned business, Mentzer Family Construction. Therefore, I am available to make my schedule meet yours. I am a pretty open book 😊 I have a fenced yard and pasture. All 7 dogs get along well & eat together well. We have trained all dogs to get along with our 3 horses & to not chase or go after our 13 chickens.

About: We have always had pets in our home since I was a baby. Cats, dogs, birds, lizards. They have all lived happy, loved lives with us. I am currently working part time, so can fit walking or sitting into my schedule easily. Do not mind the travel time to take care of your loved one. We have 3 well behaved, well loved dogs who are good at socializing with new friends. We take the dogs on 2 walks a day minimum and spend a few hours outside playing and walking in the sun. We do have a kennel if needed and if staying overnight, the kennel stays in my room with me. I will adhere to the owners wishes as far as feedings go.

About: I’ve owned a Labrador for 17 years and have been taking care of dogs the last 8 years. I’ve been entrusted to walk, feed, play, & groom pets of friends and neighbors, and Lola got along with all of them. Keeping them on a routine was fine. I was able to teach Lola many commands using verbal and hand gestures. Discipline and routine is something I enforce so that the pups don’t get restless energy with new changes.❤️ Lola has recently passed away, so my availability has opened much more. I am a personal chef and build my own schedule. I recently moved back to Corsicana area and am happy to meet new pets & clients. I make sure to be on time and keeping the dog in routine and discipline that has been established by you and yours. I can crate your pet. I can cuddle with them too! I’m a super affectionate care taker.

About: Im currently a dog mom of 2 wonderful pups. I’ve had dogs most of my life. I’m a Registered Nurse by trade. Open to non dog pets as well. I currently work from home and have open availability and flexibility for upcoming days/dates. I can help on short notice but may need some notice for weekends. Like many I treat my dogs almost like my children. I love animals and believe in engaging with them and keeping them active is key.

About: I'm a lover of all animals, willing to accommodate special hours or instructions, if medications are needed I'm comfortable doing that as well. Have been pet sitting for 10+ years and have yet to meet a dog/pet I don't adore? I'm willing to work with anyone's pet and meet them beforehand to make sure they feel comfortable with me. A pet should always come first so I would want to make sure I can accommodate their needs. I'm a firm believer in in also having a healthy relationship with pet parents and most certainly encourage any questions to make sure your pet and I both be comfortable each other before accepting any job. Please feel free to contact me, I'll answer any questions about myself and background as well as provide references. I am currently a part-time student so my schedule can work around yours. I set my school hours accordingly, therefore it doesn't interfere with the care of your pet. Patience goes a long way when it comes to establishing a connection with a pet. Pets are attached to their owners and some can become sensitive or withdrawn to new people. It's up to me to form a bond with all pets. Most pets I have come across form relationships easily, however there are cases where pets may come with a past. Such as being rescues whose previous owners didn't treat them well . In such cases lots of love, attention and patience would be given on my part to ensure that your pet feels safe.

About: I will start by saying I am truly passionate about what I do! I have a genuine love for all animals! I've worked at dog daycares, grooming salons, boarding facilities as well as owned my own private facility! Nothing beats the comfort of a home-setting for your pets! I've been fortunate to have met and worked with many different breeds. I understand that different breeds require different care. I am always willing to accommodate for any activities you require for your pets. Extra snuggles? You got it! Extra outside time? No sweat! You like your pup to keep a sharp mind? I have puzzles and obstacles to keep them busy! If you have extra notes for me, having a list is the best way to make sure I cover everything you need! A little more about myself and my goals. I have my Associate in Science. Im currently enrolled to become a certified veterinary technician. I will continue to gain experience and knowledge with as many pups as I can! The only thing I may do differently than others would be to not allow you in my home for a meet and greet. You’re more than welcome to view the interior from the window, but I will not risk the safety of the other dogs or yourself by allowing you to enter the home. Not only is this a safety risk, but causes serious stress to the other dogs here when a stranger walks in the home. I don’t allow guests in my home for this same reason. My home is dedicated to this business and I work everyday with multiple pups. I groom quite a bit as well! I do hope everyone understands the safety of things! I look forward to meeting you all and thank you so much for viewing my profile here on Rover! I do this for a living, it is my full time job. I am flexible with scheduling and I am usually available for last minute requests! I am available full time for your pets and any accommodations you need while you are away! Drop in visits and walks anytime, I do charge a $5 fee for visits/walks past 6pm. When I do service at a clients home I always make sure to enter and exit cautiously. Double checking to make sure the door is locked and closed completely! Making sure gates and fences are secured in the backyard. When going on walks I always make sure we are using the proper equipment for the pup going on the walk! Harness is required if you want me to walk your pup. If you don’t have a harness no worries, I’m sure I have an extra one in the size you need! Retractable leashes are not preferred, I will use my own leash if that is the only option you have available. There are some pups that take time to warm up when I arrive. They are usually the ones that become my BEST FRIEND by the end of the stay. I will not overwhelm them or force them to like me, I will give them space and let them come to me when they’re ready. If they are having a hard time eating while you’re away I will try any suggestions you have as well as use my own experience to provide suggestions as well. At my home pups are allowed to roam free in the home and outside in the backyard. If you prefer your pup to be kenneled you may need to bring your own (we are now kennel free). I won’t use kennels unless you bring one, but I will separate groups with gates when it is time to eat or relax. If your pup is typical for high anxiety/trying to escape/being antisocial/unfriendly, they will be kenneled in the evening and walked outside on a leash, this is for their own safety as well as the other pups staying. The kennel provides them a safe space that they can relax without interruption. Walking on the leash ensures they do not jump the fence. Again, we are now kennel-free and you will have to bring your own if you know your dog is typically kenneled at home or may be aggressive. I make sure to keep an eye on all areas of the fence line for any possible holes before allowing anyone outside. I am outside with them and inside with them, they are never left unattended. I have cameras outside and inside for extra coverage. I will not leave for errands or go out for fun! The only reason I leave on a work day, is to provide taxi service to pick up/drop off pups for daycare/grooming appointments they have with me. Since there are always other pups here I make sure to do gradual introductions! Grooming pups are not introduced to anyone unless they are also planning on daycare or boarding in the future. I am confident that I can read the body language and assess the situation as needed before it gets out of control. If I feel your pup is not ready to be with a group I will let them spend time alone, then slowly introduce one pup then another and see how things go. Sometimes they wont get along with one specific pup, so I just make sure to rotate them! It’s a process, but well worth it to decrease the risk of fights/injuries/even death! I am all about the safety of your pup! I want them to come home to you safe and happy!

About: I am very trustworthy and passionate about what I do and how I do it! I have always worked in the animal field, from training to grooming and currently and forever a veterinarian technician. I love all kind of dogs and all sizes, along with cats too! I’m currently a full time vet tech and a mother of 3 kids, 3 dogs and 1 cat. Busy girl, yes! But that’s just how I like it! If I’m available I will be there! If close by I will come before work, during lunch and after work. As well as weekends! I would gladly come love your fur baby, make sure they get the proper care they need. Walk, food, water, belly rubs, whatever they prefer!

About: I grew up around dogs, cats, and almost every animal. Dogs are by far my favorite animal, I've mainly had puppies throughout my life, including after I became an adult. I know just about everything needed to know about dogs and how to keep them safe. I've been walking and playing with dogs since the age of five. Neighbors have trusted me with their pets since I was five. Walking, feeding, playing. I constantly keep an eye on whoevers good I may have at my house, or if I go to yours. Your pets will always be safe with me. I am a very trust worthy person, will answer any questions you have, or let you know anything you want to know about how I work with your pets. I only work 3 days a week, so I am available to take care of or walk your dogs Monday through Thursday. Friday, Saturday and Sunday before 11am I always have treats, food and water readily available. I have multiple leashes for walk, and can get the potty bags for bathroom breaks. Can easily accommodate any needs for you and your pet
