“I will do my best for you and your best friend!”
Hi, my name is Russell Danielson. My experience with dogs began many many years ago. Growing up we always had dogs and I continued that throughout my life and currently have 3. All of my pups have come through the front door as rescues. Through the years I have puppy sat for friends and family and even hosted puppy sleepovers. I look forward to meeting your four legged furry friend!

Taking daily walks in Houston is not only fun, it can keep your dog healthy by controlling their weight and keeping their joints limber. Exercise can also reduce their chances of developing arthritis, heart disease and diabetes which can extend their lifespan. Whether a trek through the Sheldon Lake State Park, or just around the block, you’ll be helping your canine companion live their best life.
If you’ve got an anxious dog who snips, or a boisterous dog that jumps, obedience training can help. Walks are a great way for your pup to practice and reinforce their good manners as they experience new people and places. Once your pup has mastered good behavior around the neighborhood, try a stroll through Downtown’s busy streets, or to one of Houston’s dog parks.
While you are at work all day, your pup wants to play! If your dog gets too bored, they may resort to destructive behavior to stay entertained. Save your pillows and rugs by giving your dog plenty of walks to stimulate their senses and use that pent-up energy. Bring some extra spice into their life with a walk through the Houston Arboretum and Nature Center to experience some Texan wildlife.
For those times your dog needs a walk when you aren’t available, many dog walking businesses and professional dog walkers offer walks at varying rates in Houston. You could be paying $30 for a 30-minute walk, or even $40 for longer 60-minute strolls. Most dog walking services only walk dogs on weekdays during business hours. If you are lucky enough to schedule a walk outside of those hours, you could be adding on an additional $10 per walk. Others may only walk your dog if you schedule recurring walks, which may not be possible for every kind of lifestyle.
Wag! knows that life doesn’t always go according to plan, so they are there whenever you need them!

Whether your dog loves 30-minute walks for around $20, or 60-minute walks for about $30, Pet Caregivers with Wag! have your pup covered. And if your dog just needs a quick spin, try a 20-minute walk that averages $15. While recurring walks with Wag! are available, you can also schedule one-time walks for when your dog needs them most, or even on-demand walks for the same day.
All dog walkers with Wag! are thoroughly vetted and insured, and are ready to treat your pup like royalty. Plus having the best dog walking app in town with the Wag! app, you’ll always know where your dog goes, while a report card at the end of each walk will tell you all about your dog’s day out.
Your dog is itching to go exploring with you, so grab the leash and head out to see Houston’s furrific green spaces! Start your adventure in the heart of Downtown at the Discovery Green Dog Run. Your pup can meet new playmates at this pupular park complete with water fountains and seating for the humans. Head a little north to check out Market Square Dog Park for its natural dirt surface and large rocks for sporty pups to climb on.
While Montrose is known for its hipster culture and furbulous nightlife, your pup will be more interested in the Johnny Steele Dog Park! Relax by the creek while your dog plays in the pond, then get a quick rinse afterward at the bathing stations. Or head to the Ervan Chew Dog Park where dogs can safely play while the two-leggeds in your pack enjoy the adjacent playground.
Right in the commercial Greenway/Upper Kirby neighborhood, dogs can find an oasis at the Levy Dog Park. With grass mounds to bound up and down, and unique circular drains that turn into water fountains, it’s the pawfect spot for those hot summer days. Just southwest, the Danny Jackson Bark Park offers two long dog runs for different sizes, and a pool for pooches to splash in.
For those looking to escape the fast pace of the city, the Addicks/Park Ten area in Northwest Houston is home to the 17-acre Bill Archer Bark Park. Offering a huge bone shaped pool, an expansive trail, shower stations, and even an obstacle course, this is sure to become your dog’s favorite spot.
In the very south of Houston, water lovers flock to Nassau Bay. Flanked on one side by Lake Nassau and the other by Clear Creek, the Nassau Bay Dog Park features plenty of room for off leash playing. Finish tiring out your pup with an on leash walk along the shorelines.
Before venturing out into any of Houston’s dog parks, be sure your pooch is fully vaccinated and licensed, with tags visible on their collar. Always have your dog leashed when entering or exiting off leash areas, and everywhere else in the city. Keep clean-up bags on hand and promptly pick up whatever your pup leaves behind.
If your life is busy, your pup doesn’t have to miss out on adventure in Houston. Wag! is there when you can’t be to get your dog moving!

And with real time GPS tracking, and text and video updates from your walker, you can keep track of your dog’s every step.
Got a small Frenchie, a Houston favorite? They’d love 20-minute spins around the block. Larger Houston dogs like German Shepherds and Labrador Retrievers have a ton more energy, so lots of 60-minute walks can give them something to wag about. Your lazy Bulldog may prefer to meander at their own pace on a 30-minute stroll. Even if your elderly Golden Retriever is too tuckered out for a walk, Pet Caregivers with Wag! can Drop-In at home for a visit in their living room.
No matter how packed your day is, you can make your dog’s pawtastic by booking a walk with Wag! today!

Can’t get enough of the great Texas outdoors? You and your furry friend are in for a treat if you go to Sugar Land Memorial Park.
