Dog Walking Austin

About: I grew up with dogs my entire life, including a German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, and Pitbull mix, so I’m very comfortable with both large and high-energy breeds. I also have experiences with extended stay puppy sitting where I managed feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and creating a calm, structured environment. I understand how important consistency, patience, and attentiveness are, especially with puppies. I’m currently preparing to welcome a Golden Retriever puppy of my own, so I’m very intentional about creating safe, positive experiences for dogs. I work Monday through Friday but my partner is currently home all day, so someone will always be there to care for your dog! We are open to boarding any night. Walks I am primarily available after work or sometimes the morning before. My partner is currently available most anytime! We are both reliable and detail oriented. We are prepping to bring in our very own golden retriever puppy, so will treat your dog as if they are our own! As mentioned above I work Mon-Friday roughy 8-4. My partner is currently home throughout the day so someone will always be there to care for your dog. We are open to boarding almost any day especially weekends where we are both home. Walks and drop ins work best for me before work hours or after but my partner has open availability so between us we can accommodate to you! Feel free to ask if you have any specific availability questions! :) Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I live in a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment and am very attentive to routines, feeding schedules, and safety during walks and care. I always keep dogs securely leashed on walks, avoid unsafe situations, and closely monitor their behavior and well-being. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your dog, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m reliable, respectful of your home, and committed to providing a safe and positive experience. I’m also happy to send regular photo and video updates so you always feel confident and connected while your dog is in my care.

“Stavroula was a good communicator and I really appreciated her accepting my last minute booking. I like that she took pictures of my dog during their walks. I can tell Izzy liked her too… he seemed confused that she left after the walk instead of staying to hang out 😂”

“Emily was very communicative with me throughout this whole process and it made me feel so comfortable. She gave me a full report of everything that happened on Daisy's walk and made sure she took care of everything Daisy needed. Thank you!!!”

About: Hi, I'm Erin! Before I entered the world of office work, I was walking dogs and pet sitting professionally for local businesses in Richmond, VA and Naperville, IL. I have 6 years of experience in pet care, including some experience at a groomer and daycare. I love all animals and have worked with and owned all kinds, from exotics, birds, cats, and dogs. I've cared for little puppies still figuring things out as well as the sweet seniors that need a little help eating and getting around. I've also rescued and fostered kittens! I have a personal interest in positive reinforcement training and use it on my own dog. I have been trained to orally medicate, administer shots, and have experience with first aid/CPR. I have a Chihuahua mix who is my heart and soul, so I understand what concerns a pet parent may have. In my free time I like to bike, paint, read, watch movies, go birding, and play video games. I place security and safety of your pet and home at top priority and like to leave things just as good or better than when I came. You'll get photos and updates with each visit if requested so you can rest easy while away. Please don't hesitate to reach out of you have any questions or concerns! I'm available most of the week except for Monday-Friday 6:30am-3:30pm where I work my full time job in medical billing. I work from home so I can be flexible if you are in the area as I have some downtime. I like to leave your house as I found it or better. If there are special instructions (such as door codes, house or pet quirks, crate or feeding instructions) please provide them prior to the visit. If your pup would like some socialization, I'd be happy to bring Mavis along for walks. If you need trash taken out, plants watered, litter boxes scooped, please let me know and I'll take care of it. If you're out of town for a while I like to rotate lights in the house to make it look lived in. Food and water will be checked every visit. I also don't like to use flexi leashes due to possible risks and will use my own 6 ft leash just in case you don't own one. If your pet has any favorite toys, activities, or other special info let me know!

“Robin takes such good care of our dog Louie! It’s so nice to know he’s in good hands when we are away. She also gives great feedback and advice.”

“Suzanne has been wonderful for Prince. She is timely, energetic, and takes him on long walks. It's very helpful knowing someone who cares about dogs is in my neighborhood.”

Sandra T.

“Stacy has been walking my dog Mavis for over a month now. She is a great communicator, prompt, follows instructions great! And she just loves my dog :) I know my baby is in good hands when she comes over for walks.”

Jordan B.

“Fantastic with my pup would definitely recommend her and plan to rebook in the future!”

About: Hi, I’m Abby! Neighbors, friends and family have trusted me to take care of their pets while away. I’m trustworthy, safe and reliable. I follow all directions given, and communicate well. I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to walk, take care and play with your pet while you’re away. My schedule is pretty flexible. I make sure your pets are in safe areas and I follow all directions given to me. I care for them like they are my own, and respect your home and space.

About: I've had a dog in my life ever since I was 5, and I've taken care of my friends pets for even longer! I've also walked four dogs at once, and I'm very proud of that. I have a golden retriever I see three times a week. I'm in-between school and work, I have a lot of free time to take care of animals. I like to be where the animals are, whether there's a backyard, we're on a long walk, or we're cuddling on a couch watching a movie. I do work at home, which results in a lot of close contact.

About: I grew up with cats and have taken care of them my whole life, and I am now a full-time pet sitter! I have lived with dogs and done some care for them as well. I currently have a rabbit, rats, a frog, a gecko, and a jeweled lacerta, so I'm well-versed in pet care and in balancing multiple pets' needs! I am also experienced giving meds to rats, frogs, dogs, and cats, as well as caring for rabbits. I am a former librarian, but now I pet sit full-time, so I have a lot of daytime availability to take care of your pets! I'm very careful to triple-check that I'm following all the instructions I am left. I never want to leave out an instruction, since you know your pets best! I always make sure to give pets as much love as they want, but if your cat is shy, I'll give them their space! Please inform me in advance if anybody will be in the home while I am there. This does not preclude me taking care of the pets, it is just informational. Thanks! I pet sit full-time, so I have a lot of availability at all times of day, all week long. Just let me know what time you need and we'll make it work! I don't provide in-home services on Rover. However, my own pets get a lot of enrichment and as much attention as they want to have.

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life and currently have 5 dogs and one cat! I have plenty of experience with pets. I can take care of specific needs and wants as well as be playful and entertaining for them. Looking forward to see how adorable these pets are throughout my journey. I have a flexible schedule for the summer. I’m available week days and weekends through Aug. 23. After August I will be available early evenings and weekends. I take my dogs on multiple walks and give them plenty of love and affection through out the day. When they feel energetic I take them to the dog park and when they are tired I let them rest with me or somewhere comfortable If the dogs need specific needs like, meds, grooming, or routine I can gladly do that for them.

About: I've lived with dogs ever since I was born. I currently share responsibility of caring for the family dog (who is shown on my profile). I have experience with their care, such as daily walks, feeds, play time, giving necessary medications, and whatever else they need. I also have done cat sitting over the past few years through Rover and outside of Rover, as well as petsitting for birds, rabbits, turtles, and lizards. I even now have a turtle of my own! I currently have little to no limitations that would get in the way of me from doing my duties in caring for your wonderful pet(s). I am typically always home so I would be able to keep your fur baby company and give them whatever attention they would need. I have a backyard fence and a single small dog who can be a bit skittish, but ultimately sleeps most of the day.

“Leslie was amazing with our dog, Bucky! Bucky is a stubborn Shiba Inu, but with her patience and kindness, Leslie won his trust and heart over. She was also very understanding and attentive to his needs. We could tell that she really cared about him like we do. We are forever grateful to her and would definitely rebook and recommend Leslie to our friends and family!”

Marlene G.

“Malcomn is wonderful with our dog Rosie. She is very friendly generally but she took to him right away and gets so excited to see him for walks. Malcomn is also very communicative and provides detail of their walks together. He also somehow manages to get the best photos of our girl when they are out for walks. 10/10, no notes!”

“Mya took great care of my pup! She followed my instructions perfectly. Thanks for helping out!”

About: Growing up with a larger family I have always been used to a much hectic environment. I’ve been around much vocal and less vocal pets and it’s always awesome to see what personality you will get with your fur baby! I would love to be able to play and most importantly keep your pets safe. I dedicate about all of my time to making sure all pets are well taken care of. I also love going to my nearest shelter and love to take out the pups out on walks and love to keep up with my shelters announcements. Whether they need fosters or donations I’m always happy to help any pet in need! I would love to take care of your fur baby at anytime needed as I have open availability currently and would be free for you and your pet! Growing up I have always made sure to do thorough research on what any pet must not eat or play with as I have always made sure to take the best care of any animal that comes into my home. I’ve had my home cat proof, dog proof, chicken proof, and even bird proof to ensure that no lovely pet ever gets hurt as I want nothing more than to have everyone of them live their best life!

About: I’ve always loved animals and enjoyed helping take care of family and friends’ pets. I’m gentle, responsible, and always treat every pet like my own!! Whether it’s feeding, walking, or simply giving them attention, I always make sure they feel comfortable and loved💗 I’m currently not working full-time, so I have flexible availability throughout the week. I’m happy to care for pets during the day or evening, depending on your needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ll be there to help!! I provide a calm and safe environment with lots of love and attention. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, making sure each pet feels secure and cared for. I’m happy to care for pets in your home or mine, depending on what’s best for your furry friend.

About: Hello! I love ALL animals & can't imagine life without them. I'm the go to pet sitter for friends & neighbors, & I have 2 cats & a pitty myself. My dog walking journey started here on Wag! in 2017 but I’ve worked with dogs & cats while fostering & volunteering at shelters before that. I also gained an insane amount of knowledge while I worked at a dog daycare/hotel for years where I eventually was promoted to a supervisor. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages, sizes, temperaments & quirks. Body language & reading animals easily is a humble gift of mine. I of course want you to find someone who’s the perfect fit, so even if you’re still exploring options plz reach out with any questions☺️ I have experience with both cats and dogs of all ages, breeds and temperaments. I became a supervisor at the doggy daycare so I have experience with medication administration. I am dog CPR certified & experienced with emergancy situations. But above all, I love all animals & love that caring for them gets to be my job! As far as pricing, please feel free to message me! I wish Rover aloud more specification for prices but my Rover prices all vary based on your needs. I am flexible! If you want a 20 min walk instead of a drop in visit, that’s okay with me! My prices all go based on time. So if you only need me to stop over x2 a day for a sitting, it would cost less. For walks, it also depends how many dogs. I can be a good fit if you need a last minute walk! I am currently accepting walks on breaks on my remote days and after work/weekends. If you’re looking for a reliable & trustworthy person to take care of your pets last minute, while you are out on the town, while you go meet up with family, stuck in traffic etc., feel free to message me! I always am focused on safety and security. I make sure keys are safe, that pets aren’t let out without checking all leashes and harnesses, & always make sure all doors are secure when coming in & out. If any of your pets have any allergies I need to be aware of, let me know. Regardless, I will never feed your pets anything without asking you first. Thank you so much for inquiring about my services! Even if you’re not certain you want to book with me yet, you are more then welcome to reach out with any questions. I of course want to be the perfect fit for you & your babies!
