Texas does not license pet sitters or dog walkers at the state level. Garland requires a Certificate of Occupancy for a physical business location; a walker running from home falls under the city's home occupation rules rather than a storefront CO. City parks require dogs to be leashed at all times (Code of Ordinances Chapter 22, Animal Services) with owners cleaning up after pets, and off-leash animals are enforced citywide. Pet-care earnings are self-employment income, reported on Schedule C against the platform's 1099.
