About Us!

Hello, fellow pet parents!

I'm Gabriel Saldivar, founder of Delighted Dog Walks LLC, and I'm thrilled to introduce you to a pet care service built on passion, professionalism, and a deep love for dogs. Strategically located just north of downtown, Delighted Dog Walks is perfectly positioned to serve diverse neighborhoods across the greater Dallas area with efficiency and ease.

My journey into professional pet care isn't just a career; it's a calling rooted in a lifelong connection with animals and a profound belief in the power of entrepreneurship. Coming from a family of dedicated entrepreneurs, I've always been passionate about business, self-employment, the free market, and the immense opportunities that come from working hard for what you build. Delighted Dog Walks is the exciting culmination of these values, transforming my passion for canine well-being into a reliable, high-quality service for your beloved companions.

With over a year of hands-on experience, I've cultivated a nuanced understanding of various dog temperaments, from energetic puppies and curious adolescents to reserved seniors and those requiring specific behavioral considerations. This allows for a truly tailored approach to each walk, prioritizing their safety, enrichment, and positive reinforcement. I am adept at navigating diverse urban and residential environments and comfortable with a full range of home access requirements, including lockboxes, key retrieval systems, and alarm protocols, ensuring seamless and secure entry and exit for your peace of mind.

For your absolute confidence, Delighted Dog Walks LLC is fully insured through Thimble, providing comprehensive coverage for the duration of every service. My objective extends beyond mere exercise; it is to foster a relationship of trust and consistently deliver an exceptional, enriching experience that genuinely enhances your dog's daily life and provides unparalleled convenience for you.

We invite you to experience the difference professional, compassionate care, delivered with an entrepreneurial spirit, can make for your furry family member.
