Dog Walking in Barton Hills, Austin, TX

“Lara has been amazing! She is always on time to take our dogs on walks, and has been very responsive and flexible with any sudden schedule changes. Our dog gets super excited to see her, and I know she’s well taken care of with Lara.”

“I've got a senior dog with health issues who has been wearing the cone of shame. Jackson never gave up and continuously showed up to take care of my pup, make sure her needs were met until she adjusted just fine. Working odd hours is stressful, but knowing my pup is being taking care of with consistent care has helped me so much. Also, his communication is clear and he's very friendly!”

“Jeremy is a great Rover walker. It’s so hot outside that we needed to bump back the time of the walks and just mostly play indoors and he is very accommodating. Our dog loves seeing him each day!”

“Madeline was so prompt and thoughtful in her care for Cooper! The detailed walk recaps and photos mean so much to me when I’m stuck at work away from home. I will absolutely re-book.”

Allyson S.

“Christine is the absolute greatest friend and caretaker to our dog Schlappen. She’s so attentive, responsive, loving and dependable. She treats your pet like it’s her own. All the qualities we look for while we go away and need someone to take good care of our dog. We really appreciate her and look no further when it’s time to schedule a Rover again. Thank you Christine! ❤️”

“Jenna was so sweet with my mini Aussie Bucket. He is anxious & shy so when I got home and he was happy and taken care of -it made me feel so relieved that I found a good Walker! Will be booking her regularly!”

About: Animals have been a big part of my life growing up and I love making connections with them. I did some pet sitting during high school and through college. I have two animals of my own and I love them so much. I work from home full time so I can provide exercise and play time often to make sure your animals are happy and healthy with my flexible schedule. I work from home and can bring my laptop anywhere. I need to be more active during my day instead of sitting and this would provide me a way to get moving! Mutually beneficial! I have a fob access secure apartment. I am surrounded by a lot of walkable areas and parks. my own animals are on a feeding schedule so I can easily follow others. Giving animals the stimulation they need is important to me.

About: I've helped take care of family pets since I was 10 years old, and my partner and I have 2 dogs together who I absolutely adore ❤️ More than 50 happy pet parents across Austin know me as a reliable, communicative, adaptable, and trustworthy pet sitter! My two fur babies are currently in training, and through this process I have learned a wealth of obedience skills that I can implement when caring for your pet. I also loved training my first puppy, Lucy, and before she passed later in life, I helped care for her when she was struggling with bladder cancer. I cared for my parent's three dogs, including one fur baby who was very sick at the time and needed medication and medical attention multiple times a day. I've cared for other friend and family pets through extended home stays and quick drop ins for walks and feedings. I work remotely, so I have a lot of flexibility to care for your pets throughout the day and evening. Beginning in October 2025, I will be a full time pet sitter!! I am available weekdays and some weekends, and can accomodate short notice requests. I am also an active person, so if you have very energetic dogs who need to get their zoomies out, I am more than happy to take them on runs, long walks, or play fetch with them! I have a keen attention to detail and am very particular about how I care for myself, my dogs, and my home, so you can rest assured that I will care for your pet exactly as instructed! I am also very safety minded and will make sure to protect your pet, other animals, and other people they may interact with when in my care.

About: In the spirit of helping thy neighbor, I’ve been taking care of furry friends since childhood. I’m physically strong, so strong dogs don’t bother me; and responsible & responsive. I’m a former babysitter and also a photographer, so you’ll get cute photo updates and know your pet is in safe hands. Reach out to me! 🩵 I’m available Monday-Friday mostly midday-evening! Ideally looking for a recurring walking role that will get me outdoors and keep me active during the workweek. I’m open to anything! Shoot me a message. My childhood dogs and foster dogs get luxury treatment: reliable morning & evening food routine, meals with fresh/canned chicken, medicine in pill pockets or cheese, and both inside and outside chill access. My house has a yard for outside enrichment and puzzle toys for inside enrichment. On walks, I award treats for exemplary behavior (if brought or provided). Dogs are treated really well, because they are our best friends.

About: Hi! My name is Sarah, and I am recent grad looking for great ways to pay off my student loans ASAP. I've been caring for animals from as young as two years old growing up on my family farm. I've had dogs, cats, and rabbits as pets through childhood and into adulthood. I take great pride in my animal care, and care for others' animals as if they were my own. I love taking dogs on hiking adventures, and I love playing games with cats. With award-winning head-scratches, I easily win over the shyest of animals, and have not yet met a creature that did not like me. I am a songwriter who mainly works from home and takes lots of walks to engage in nature- your dog would be a welcome addition to my routine! I’m ~that kind~ of neurodivergent.. I am adept at reading animals, and I always treat them with kindness and respect. Cool in crisis, I am an excellent person to have around your pet in a worst case scenario.

“Laura was on time and communicative! She sent pictures of the walk which brightened up my day. Poppy clearly loves having her! She’s incredibly reliable and I highly recommend her as a dog walker!”

About: I have had dogs since I was 4 years old. I often dog and house sit for neighbors, friends, and family. I can take pets on walks, feed them, play with them, and provide snuggles. I currently work full time Monday-Friday 4pm-8pm and Saturday 2-8pm as a personal assistant. Outside of working hours, I love going on walks around Lady Bird Lake or on the trail at my apartment. I have a consistent work schedule that is easy to adjust for taking care of pets. When caring for animals in the client’s home, I stick to their guidelines and schedule to ensure the pet feels most comfortable.

About: Having pets all my life, I now offer the joy of hosting your fur babies in my South Austin home with big, fenced in backyard with tall shade trees. Great streets for walking. Only host a few pets at a time. My little maltipoo, Daisy, loves doggie friends to visit and play! I'm home most of time & will give lots of love and attention to your fur babies. I send fun, candid photos thru the visit & give daily updates. Free Meet and Greets are welcome If allowed, I offer homemade, all natural treats too! I also do Drop Ins at your place for unique pets like a tortoise and raccoons...! I grew up on farms and the bayou and love all animals! I work from home and have plenty of time to cater to your pets. I walk poochies twice per day and let them play in my big, fenced in backyard. My schedule is very flexible. And I'm located with easy access to Hwy 71, 360 and Mopac for easy drop-offs. I have one small pooch, Daisy, who is a 13 lb Malti-poo. Very calm and loves new dog friends to play with! Happy to follow your feeding and walking directions. My neighborhood is great for walking doggies and I have a dog stroller if needed for pups challenged with walking but still wants to "go for a spin" outside of the house.

About: I've owned dogs since I was about 6 years old, and have experience with pets who have specials needs. I also have experience with reactive dogs and I'm more than willing to put in the time it takes to gain their trust, and keep them safe on walks. I currently work part time, but I have a very flexible schedule. I'm nearly always available after 12 on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and I'm available anytime Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays. I can often accommodate last minute requests, and I'm easy to reach. Currently, I am unable to provide boarding at my home. I will be able to provide overnight care in your home on a case by case basis (it all depends on my allergies, I struggle with cigarette smoke and cat dander). I am able to provide walks, check ins, and assist with car rides to and from the vet or boarding facilities.
