Spring Branch dog walking that knows your block by name.
Shaggy Chic has been walking Spring Branch dogs since 2010. We know established mid-century streets, easy access to Memorial, and yards built for a real walk, and we walk the calm interior streets off Long Point, take the long way past Spring Branch Memorial Park, and know which routes stay safely away from the busy corridors. Your dog gets a consistent, trained team, GPS-tracked routes, and a photo report after every walk, not a stranger from a marketplace.

Spring Branch · Frequently asked
What Spring Branch dog owners ask about walks.
Do you walk dogs throughout all of Spring Branch?
Yes — Spring Branch is one of our core neighborhoods. We've been walking dogs here since 2010 and we know the streets, the shade, and the good sniff spots. We start every new client with a no-cost meet & greet so your dog can meet the actual person doing the walks, not a rotating stranger.
What does a Shaggy Chic walk actually look like?
Every walk is GPS-tracked start to finish. At the end you get a full report: a note on how your dog did, how far they went, and at least one photo. We walk on consistent routes so your dog knows what to expect, and we use Fear Free handling — no rushing, no yanking, no stress. It's 30 real minutes, not 12 minutes of dog and 18 of driving.
How long are the walks, and what do they cost?
Our standard walk is 30 minutes at $35. We also do 60-minute walks for dogs that need more. Pricing and availability are confirmed at your free meet & greet — there are no hidden platform fees.
Are your walkers trained and insured?
Every walker on our team is a W-2 employee — background-checked, in-person trained, and covered under our $2M business liability policy. Owner Kristen Parkhurst is a Fear Free Certified Professional and a Certified Professional Pet Sitter. You're not getting a 1099 gig worker from an app.
Do you actually cover all of Spring Branch — I'm on the far west side near 77041?
