Hi there! I'm Nancy and I have been in the N Dallas area since the age of three. In my lifetime I have had a Poodle named Micah, a Spitz named Fluffy, a lab/pit (with allergies) named Pudge and a Beagle named Andika who have all since passed. We now have a Chihuahua named Bo and a Chihuahua/Schnauzer named Kitty. We have trained/raised all of our dogs from 6-8 weeks of age. Kitty has had 2 litters! I love meeting new dogs and loving on them. I also love exercising and being outdoors. Every dog has his/her own unique traits, from allergies to energetic. I would love to meet your dog and show him/her the same love, adoration, and care I give my own. Let me give you and your fur baby a great Wag! experience to the best of my ability.

Hi, I'm Britany. I have lived in the Dallas area all my life, except while in college. I have walked dogs my whole life, first beginning with my own, and then moving on to friends and family. While in college I volunteered at an animal shelter where I walked, fed, bathed, and cared for the animals - and I loved it! I have always been a Fur-child owner and believe all dogs are our fur-children; so just know that your precious Fur-child will be treated with the same love and care as my if they were my own during our walk times together!

I have been a dog walker for 10+ years and I love the relationship that I can have with a pet aside from the owner/pet relationship. I am like the grandparent that gets to spoil and love them then I get to see them every day or when parents go out of town and we get to have a fun time and play hard. I love talking to them and at some point I expect them to start talking back.

“Spread Good Vibes & Live Every Day to the Fullest!”
Hi, my name is Brittany and I love all dogs, but specialize in the big ones. When I lived in Georgia, I spent some time rescuing pitbulls from bad homes and loving them in my home until they were ready to be relocated to new happy homes. Along the way, I was able to raise my own Pitbull, Tank, who is now 10yrs old and is the sweetest love of my life. I have moved to Texas now and would like to continue contributing to the happy dog community. I love walking your furry ones and giving them love!

Dog Boarding in Garland
As part of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, the city of Garland is just a stone’s throw from some of the best dog-friendly experiences Texas has to offer! It also boasts a thriving community of animal lovers, including plenty of passionate people who are willing to step up to the plate when homeless, abandoned, or abused animals need help.
The SPCA of Texas has been helping the state’s animals since 1938. With two shelters and three spay/neuter clinics located in Dallas and McKinney, this paw-some organization has helped thousands of animals find fur-ever homes and aims to bring people and pets together. Of course, as the SPCA of Texas is not affiliated with any other entity and doesn’t receive any government funding. Instead, it relies on the generous support of the Texas community to help pets in need.
Dallas Pets Alive also fosters a strong commitment to helping abandoned animals. With a mission to help the healthy and treatable pets who are at risk of euthanasia at Dallas Animal Services, Dallas Pets Alive rescues those animals on death row and runs a range of programs designed to stop pet owners from surrendering their furry friends. It is run mostly by volunteers and all of the pets it rescues are cared for in loving foster homes throughout North Texas.
Finally, Animal Allies of Texas is a non-profit animal advocacy and rescue organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for animals across Texas. With a goal to build a no-kill shelter to house adoptable and also treatable animals, the group currently engages in community service and humane education projects to help solve the homeless pets problem. Run solely by volunteers, it’s always on the lookout for more volunteers, foster carers, and much-needed donations.
