Dog Walking West

About: I have a passion for fitness and a love for all pets!! Will gladly walk any and all dogs! I am a professional anthlete and I love being outdoors. Dog walking is the perfect way to combine everything I enjoy. No need to worry about being too busy to give your dog the exercise and outdoors time they deserve because your pets will be in great hands with me! They will get the exercise they need and I’ll even do my best to tire out those little pups that have more energy than you can handle! I have an upbeat pup at home so I know exactly what it’s like. Very willing and able to work around your needs and schedules. I’m currently in the off season so I have plenty of time to tend to your pups! I love exercise and being outdoors so enough activity is no problem. I have a friendly dog and plenty of access to green space. I’m home a lot and very attentive to dogs care and needs

“Thank you so much for being attentive to my baby William as always. Maya is so caring and took my pup to his neutering appointment and showered him with all the love. I couldn't be there because I had to work, and with the constant updates I felt at ease knowing he's well cared after and with auntie Maya.”

About: I cannot remember a time in my life when dogs were not around. As soon as I graduated college, I began volunteering with a no-kill shelter in Austin, Texas. Volunteering at the shelter quickly expanded to becoming a dog foster. At the time, I did not have dogs of my own, so I was the perfect candidate to foster long-stay dogs as well as dogs with behavior and medical issues. My first foster was a tiny puppy recovering from Parvo. It was one of the toughest and most rewarding dog experiences of my life! Fostering dogs with behavior issues gave me the opportunity to participate in several training courses and programs. One of those dogs even inspired a dog-empowerment non-profit organization (Dogs Out Loud) -- she was also the logo! After several years of working with this dog, she became my last foster dog...because we adopted her! We introduced another dog into our home a few years later and it was a constant work in progress (and training) to keep those two in each other's good graces. Both of those babes have since crossed the rainbow bridge. We currently foster through DFW Lab Rescue because we are not ready to adopt, but as mentioned above, I can't imagine a home with no dog. My journey with dogs has allowed me to meet a wide range of unique creatures with unique needs, giving me the confidence to handle all types of dog situations. I work from home and am able to tend to pets all throughout the day. I love interacting with animals and I try to work them into any part of my day that is possible. I honor and respect all rules established within the home for each animal. I will spend time with and love on the animals in the same way I care for my own dogs.

“Omg Jaxon was soooo much help! I booked last minute and I was accommodated right away when I needed it most! 10/10 recommend!”

About: I did Rover back in college and stopped to fully focus on my masters degree. I have graduated and am looking to make and save some extra money while I'm job searching for my career!! I have two large dogs, Mason, an unknown mixed breed at 10 years old, and Milee a german shepherd at 7 years old. I raised them both from 3 months old and are both very well behaved, so I have experience with puppies all the way to large dogs. I am extremely active since I used to be a college athlete. If your dog needs to let out a lot of energy, I can run with your dog instead of walking if that's what you prefer! Any money I make is being saved for my future so it is much appreciated! I currently don't have any commitments for the mornings and afternoons. Will update my schedule if so! I go to the gym around 3:30-4:00 PM so I am available all morning and afternoon to walk your dogs! My pets are reaching seniority so they are pretty easy going and well trained. They are good with other dogs but I am only doing dog walking so they shouldn't be crossing paths unless I started the doggy day care. Maybe later on!

About: From puppy training to senior care - let me provide you with peace of mind while you're at work or traveling! I can help train your new puppy or make sure your senior cat is getting their daily meds and all the attention they need. I work from home so sleepovers or day care is super easy, also happy to do drop-in visits or walks in your neighborhood if commute and schedule allow. I have a large, fenced in yard and live in a great neighborhood for walking, squirrel sighting, and generally smelling all the things. I know what it's like to leave your pets with someone you trust - let me earn your trust so that you can vacation/work/etc. peacefully.

“Ariana is great!!! Punctual and dependable! My big dogs came back from their walk exhausted and ready for a nap! Just the way I like it :-) The boys love her!”

“I highly recommend Alicia to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker. Alicia accepted my last-minute request with no hesitation. Tony and I are both very grateful!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for about 5 years now, often pet sitting for neighbors and friends while they were away. I have much experience in caring for both large and small dogs, as well as dogs with all different energy levels and play styles! I’m comfortable sitting for any pup, no matter the size or how they choose to enjoy their time. I currently work full-time, however, I will always have time to care for your pups! I will always be available to stop by every 8 hours at the longest, and am also always available to house sit overnight. I am very experienced in house sitting, and am always happy to help with chores around the house if needed! I always make sure to enter as calmly as possible to not scare any skittish pups, or rile up energetic ones. I make sure all dogs are safe once I leave, ensuring there is nothing that could possibly harm them while I am away. I will always ensure to crate dogs who need it before I leave as well! I will feed pups on time, and always make sure they have adequate water, especially before I leave. If boarding, I have a wonderfully friendly Schnauzer named Archie, who would love to play with your pup! Just note, he is very energetic, but does also do well with senior dogs!

About: I have had many dogs over the years in all sizes! I have trained many puppies and I have worked in a pet boarding and daycare facility for 1 year. I have also pet sit many times! I am currently a college student but I am very flexible especially during the day and at night. I am can fit my schedule into yours. I have taken care of a lot of dogs and I have training with dogs that are more hyper or even slightly aggressive! I am equipped to handle all dogs!

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages and personalities. I’ve had my own dog for 8 years and have also helped care for family and friends’ pets through walks, check-ins, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I always make sure every animal feels safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. a teacher currently off for the summer, so I have a very open and flexible schedule. I’d love to spend my summer staying active, taking walks, and spending time with dogs! Aside from occasional vacations or planned events, I’m available most days throughout the summer for walks. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I make sure every walk is safe, fun, and tailored to each dog’s needs and energy level. I pay close attention to surroundings, keep dogs secure on leash at all times, and make sure they stay hydrated and comfortable in the Texas heat. Whether your dog loves long walks, slow strolls, or extra playtime and attention, I’ll provide patient, loving care and treat them like my own.

About: I have cared for several different dogs over the years, big and small. I am good at keeping animals company and taking care of their needs. I am willing to bring my own supplies i.e dog poop bags, if needed. I am currently unemployed and would be willing to care for your animals for as long as you need me to. Whether that's overnight, or just while you're at work. My schedule is completely open. My house is too chaotic for you animals to go there. It would be better if i went to yours to care for them. Too many animals and loud people at my place.

“Linda was polite and receptive to all information/requests I shared regarding my pup. Aside from the excellent care provided, she was courteous enough to go the extra mile by cleaning up any messes my dog (Or I) left laying around in the common area! I highly recommend her services!”

About: I' have had dogs and cats my entire life most living 17 to 20yrs. old and I'll care for yours like they are my own. I'm retired from 25yrs of Information Technology so im available any time any day of the week. It would be my pleasure to care for your fur babies My pets are my babies and part of the family as are yours. I will treat them as they are my fur babies as well

About: I don’t just “watch” pets—I learn their quirks, keep their routines consistent, and send updates that actually make you smile. Your pet gets personalized care, and you get peace of mind. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. Since we homeschool, our schedule is very flexible, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, and consistency throughout the day. I’m home often, so your pet won’t be left alone for long periods, and I can easily adjust my day to match their needs and routine. 🐾 When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all care instructions closely—feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special preferences. I spend quality time with them so they feel comfortable and cared for, not just “checked in on.” I also keep your home tidy and respectful, and send regular updates with photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and in good hands. 🐾

About: I have a love for animals that you don’t see everyday. I deeply understand that your pets are your family, meaning their safety is my #1 priority. When your pet is in my care, they will be loved on and never left unattended. Sharing photos and text updates are a basic part of my drop in and walking care and I will always be available for calls/texts/facetimes should you have any questions, concerns or just want to say hi to your fur baby! I have also been a Dallas CASA volunteer for close to 2 years because caring for pets & children are truly a passion to me. I work from home and only occasionally have meetings, no longer than an hour at a time, so my schedule is flexible to fit your needs. My husband typically accompanies me on first visits or drop in visits after dark for safety precautions. Doors to the outside and gates from the yard are never left open, I understand because my dogs (and cat) can be runners. When I let the doggos out to use the restroom, they will be watched and not left unattended. I understand that elements such as weather, pools, holes in fences, etc. play a part in safety when pets are outside. When I stop by for visits, your pets will get all the love to make up for any time they’ve been left alone.

About: Growing up in a house full of animals gave me hands on experience with all shapes, sizes, and personalities. I’ve personally owned and cared for everything from a giant Great Dane to a high-energy Border Collie, so I know exactly how to manage different strength and exercise levels. I currently work part time, which gives me incredible flexibility throughout the week! Because my schedule is open most days, I can easily accommodate mid day walks, or specific feeding routines. Your pet will be my top priority, and I have plenty of time to give them the focused attention, exercise, and love they deserve while you are away. Safety is my absolute top priority when caring for your pets. Whether I am visiting your home or taking your dog out for a walk, I maintain strict supervision, keep them securely on leash.

About: I love animals of all shapes and sizes. Currently I have 3 dogs of my own who don’t live with me. I have taken care of newborn puppies up until 8 weeks. I have experience with a variety of different pet breeds. Your pets are in good hands! I have a part-time job and am a full time student at college but I have plenty of time to go for walks or to pets sit at any home and will be most available during the months of May-August! In my apartment complex we have a special dog friendly area that is fenced. There will be me and another resident in the apartment and can expect to be home the majority of the day. I have no problem answering any questions or concern!

About: I go the extra mile to get the job done and then some. I’ll bring in mail, take care of plants and anything else. I spend plenty of time with animals and make sure they are well taken care of. I spoil and treat every animal like an angel. I can feed twice a day every day. I can take on 2 walks a day if needed. I have plenty of ample time to care for animals. I take off my shoes in peoples homes. I respect everyone’s space and time. If you have any special requests, I am usually happy to oblige.

“We have been having Lexi walk our dog weekly for about 6 months and she always goes above and beyond! We couldn’t have hoped for a better dog sitter/walker!”
