Founder & Team Lead

meet the founder

Rebecca, a Houston native, was in her 10th year of teaching when she brought home her puppy, Chloe, and started searching for a dog walker she could trust. Interview after interview, she kept hitting the same gaps: no real accountability, no backup plan, no way to personalize each walk. If she couldn't find that peace of mind for Chloe, she figured other Houston pet parents couldn't either.

In 2023, she left the classroom and founded Skyline Dog Walkers to fix it. Today she leads a trained, background-checked team across Houston, all built around the same promise she wanted for Chloe: a team you can actually count on.

A little more about the people who care for Houston’s dogs every day.

Micah

He's passionate about conservation science and brings a steady, easygoing energy to every dog he's with.

Yarissa

Team Mentor

Originally from Baltimore, Yarissa is a dog mom herself to a 3-year-old bully who's picky about who she loves, so she knows exactly what it feels like to trust someone with the dog who means everything to you.

She's a passionate animal welfare advocate who believes every pet deserves the same care as any family member. Outside of walks, she's usually dancing or riding horses.

She's passionate about protecting natural habitats and treats every walk with the same care she'd want for her own pack.
