Timbergrove dog walking that knows your block by name.
Shaggy Chic has been walking Timbergrove dogs since 2010. We know winding ranch-home streets and direct access to the bayou trails, and we walk the quiet cul-de-sacs off Lazybrook, hit Jaycee Park for sniff breaks, and run the bayou trail when your dog needs the long version. Your dog gets a consistent, trained team, GPS-tracked routes, and a photo report after every walk, not a stranger from a marketplace.

In Timbergrove
Timbergrove sits right against the bayou trail, which makes it one of the better areas in our zone for dogs who want a real run. We use the quiet cul-de-sacs off Lazybrook for shorter walks and sniff-heavy dogs, and the bayou trail for dogs who need distance. Jaycee Park is a regular stop — your dog probably already has opinions about it.

Timbergrove · Frequently asked
What Timbergrove dog owners ask about walks.
Do you walk dogs throughout all of Timbergrove?
Yes — Timbergrove 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.
Can my dog's walk include the bayou trail, not just the neighborhood streets?
Yes, and for a lot of Timbergrove dogs that's exactly what we do. The bayou trail access is one of the genuine advantages of this neighborhood, and we use it for dogs who need real distance or a different environment than the cul-de-sacs. We'll confirm trail vs. street routing based on your dog's pace and needs at the meet & greet.
