Dog Walkers in Van, TX

About: Before I relocated my every day job was dealing with animals, so I can guarantee you customer satisfaction! I also grew up with animals of all different breeds and sizes. I have a lot of patience with hyper dogs and I am very good with animals that are shy. I am also aware that some dogs can only be outside for short periods of time, especially during the summer time due to their breed. I have also handled pets that were pregnant as well as pets that recently had babies. If you are dealing with an escape artist you have no worries! I am very vigilant when entering and exiting homes. I have also cared for reptiles, rabbits and farm animals. I have a weekday job, so I am available before 8am and after 6pm. I have full availability on the weekends. I am available on most holidays. I always make sure to send photos/videos and updates on clients pets! If there are things that you are working on with your pet, I will be sure to do the same. I am also familiar with giving pets their medications. I have had some pet owners ask me to wipe their pets paws after taking them on walks.

“Raul was great. Very reliable, flexible when I needed to change the schedule, and communicative when he had delays or needed to change something. Also the dogs love him, they are going to be sad not seeing him every day.”

About: Growing up my family has always had a wide range of animals, from basic house pets to farm animals and everything in between. I’ve been pet sitting for family, friends and people at my church the past year and it’s something i truly love. Animals have always been a passion of mine, from picking them up on the side of the road when in need or taking care of my own. I love all the different personalities they have and i think they’re so fun to get to know! (I do have many more animals that aren’t on my profile or photographed!) I currently work at a Dog training facility, I’m a kennel tech currently so i’m used most breeds and always make sure i’m paying close attention to every dogs different needs. i know a stranger coming into your house and spending time with your animal can be nerve racking for both you and the animal. I will do whatever is needed to make that happen, depending on you and the animal of course!

About: I love all kinds of animals and taking care of them! I have 3 fur babies of my own, 2 cats and one dog (Puddin female cat, Bubba male cat & Bandit male Corgi) I am currently working full time at an ISD and off for summer break, looking for something to help me enjoy summer a little more & keep me busy while off work! My animals are all inside and get walked outside to use the bathroom, will do anything to make the animal comfortable in any situation and surroundings, whatever the customer wants me to do I will do just that.

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: Though this is my first dog sitting job I have grown up with multiple dogs and love animals so much! I’m willing to watch over any sort of dog as I love all breeds:) I am able to train dogs fairly easy and am willing to help with whatever needs your animal has. I currently run an at home baking business that allows me to watch over my dogs and any other animals at all times. I’m an active person myself so I love to take dogs on multiple walks every day. My pets are my best friends and I treat them with love and respect. Every animal I take care of will be loved and never treated horribly.

About: I have had dogs my whole life and got on of my own when I was in college. Growing up around and with dogs has been something that I love about about my up bringing. Dogs add so much to a family and are life long companions. Getting puppy while a full time college student and having a part time job was hard, but taught me how to manage my time and make my dog training efficient. Now she is almost 4 and is my best friend. Leaving town and having someone watch your best friend can be nerve racking, but I am here to love your furry friend like my own! I believe in efficient play time and enrichment for your animals to help make your time apart not so difficult. As a teacher, I am only busy from 7:30 - 5 each day. Some weekends I may be gone traveling, but I would love to check in on your furry friend when I can! Sometimes pets can be unpredictable and it is important that you stay calm and let them warm up to you. It is important to me to build that trust on the first visit to ensure the animal feels safe.

About: Hey y’all 👋 my name is Bonnie Lou, and my husband and I have been caring for pups for almost 2 decades. Our fur babies have always been family to us and we do everything we can to ensure they have the happiest lives possible. Your pups will get the same treatment when they are here with us! Getting to watch your furry friends would be a joy for us on our 15 acre homestead, we share with family. My Husband and I work from home all days of the week so your pups will have a companion the majority of the time. We are both fitness enthusiasts so your pups will get as many walks as they desire. We have cleared paths throughout the property to have nice shaded walking area so they aren’t getting overheated or burning their feet on the asphalt. I care for your fur babies according to your instructions. When they are at our home, they are a part of our family. I want them to be as comfortable and relaxed as possible, so they have full range of the house. Please, bring their toys as my husband and I love playing fetch and whatever games your furry friends play at home. When I come to your house, I am very careful to follow any and all instructions given.

About: My family has always had dogs, and they've always been my best buddies. When I was 18, I got my own dog, a blue heeler pup that was 8 weeks old at the time. I loved raising her, and she is one of my best friends today. We live in the country and love to go on walks; she wants to be with me no matter how short the walk is, even just out to feed the chickens. I'm a stay at home mama of a little girl, so my schedule is very flexible, and I am home most of the time. I am an admitted home body haha. We do not have a fenced yard yet. My dog spends some of her time on a long lead outside, and some inside on the tile or wood areas of our house.

About: I have several years of experience pet sitting as well as working as a veterinary technician for three years in the Houston area. I have grown up around animals all my life and dogs are absolutely my favorite animals! I have two of my own, one of which I've had since 2010 when he was a little puppy around 10 weeks old. I nursed him back to health when he had parvovirus! My other is a smaller rescue dog I adopted in 2017 who originally tested positive for heartworm disease but now he has been heatworm free for about two years! I am currently still working a full time Monday through Friday job but am transitioning to being available full-time for pet care. I anticipate full availability by July 2025. I do have weekends free and evenings, although I try to do delivery services when I can for extra income as well, but that is on demand timing and not a set schedule. I will play with your pups, cuddle, take them on walks, and even to the dog park with your approval! I have a smaller dog of my own who loves to play with other dogs!

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 5 years of experience caring for my own dog, cat, and bearded dragon. I also spent a year working at a kennel, where I gained hands-on experience with pups and kitties of all sizes and temperaments. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feedings, or just a little extra TLC, I’m here to treat your pet like family. When I’m not caring for animals, I love playing video games, writing, and spending time with my husband. I’d love to meet your furry (or scaly!) friend! I’m currently a full-time homemaker, which means I have plenty of time to take care of your sweet pets! It’s always been my dream to open up an animal rescue, so this is just another great step in that direction! I understand the anxiety of leaving your pets when going on vacation or a needed trip somewhere, but I can promise you’ll be leaving them in good hands, and that you’ll receive frequent pictures, updates, and anything else to ease your mind!

About: hello! I was a veterinary technician for 3 years, and for the past year I've been using my skills for dog walking, pet sitting, as well as I'm in the process of becoming a dog trainer. My baseline standard of care is not just as I'd treat my own, but better. Your pets would be treated with the love necessary for you to feel comfortable while away. I'm currently working part time so I have plenty of time to drop in and ensure your pets are well taken care of and happy. I ensure that all instructions and/or medications are followed, pets remain safe and healthy, and I regularly communicate how they're doing and/or if there are any concerns.

About: I've taken care of dogs professionally as a dog walker, bather and daycare attendant for the past 7 years. I've worked with seniors, puppies, disabled and special needs dogs. I understand how to care for anxious dogs and make sure they're well taken care of while they're parents are away. Working with pets is my full-time gig, so I'll have plenty of time to hang out with your dogs and make sure they get all the attention they deserve. I like to spend a lot of time with the dogs that I'm sitting. I give them my full attention by playing inside and outside (if there's a backyard), taking them on long walks and just hanging out in their presence.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my whole life, and love my job as a veterinary technician! I’d be happy to care for yours too! I currently work 3 days a week for 14 hours a day. So the other 4 days are fully available for any kind of pet care needed! My job also offers boarding during the day, so if it lands on a day that I work, your baby is more than welcome to come to work with me and getting all the love from me and my wonderful colleagues. I think personal play time with animals is the most important time for every baby! Helping pets live a happy and healthy life is my main priority whether that includes walks, play time, cuddling and hanging out, or offering them comfort when their owners are away.
