I have been a dog owner for the past seventeen years (yes, my pup is a beautiful old lady now). I love taking care of and playing with dogs, especially to help out their humans! The infectious love and joy that dogs have when they experience the world around them makes every interaction with a dog special, and I look forward to getting to know your unique furry friend!

Dog Walking in Waco

Waco is the county seat of McLennan County in Texas. The city was founded in 1849 by a Wichita Native American group known as Huaco Indians. There are many attractions to fill you and your pup’s day with tons of fun!

H.O.T Dog Park is the one of the only off-leash dog parks in Waco. The park was founded by Dr. Luann Ervin and Jeanelle Kramolis in 2011. The park itself is a non-profit organization. The land was donated by Dr. Ervin, and they also accept donations from local pet-loving hearts to maintain and improve the park. Dr. Ervin's practice is next-door, which makes it quite convenient. Your pup can enjoy the park for at no cost, run freely and get an opportunity for some canine socialization.

You can also bring your adventurous tyke to Cameron Park where both of you can appreciate the magnificence of nature. For as long as your doggy friend is leashed, you can both take a hike or run in their twisting trails. Horses are also allowed in designated trails. Their multi-use National Recreation Trail System will give you never-ending adventure with nature. There are also other attractions in the park such as playgrounds, a zoo, and a scenic cliff. Who doesn’t love pizza? Shorty’s Pizza Shack is for you. They’re home of the $9.99 XL Pepperoni Pie. They also serve pies, chicken wings, and ice cold beer. You can stay at their gorgeous patio area together with your dog!
