Dog Walking Bear Creek

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, fish, rodents, reptiles, and other animals of all kinds. Growing up, my family had numerous animals over the years that I assisted in training and caregiving. I have two pups of my own that were both rescued and trained. I am familiar with dogs who are reactive or have behavior problems. I trained my dogs in basic commands, agility, and search and find. I treat all animals like they are my own, so please contact me if there is anything special about your pet that I should know! I am currently taking some time off from work, so I have plenty of free time to spend with your fur babies. I am always happy to provide extra pets and snuggles to those who love a little extra attention. If there are any specifics I need to know about you, your home, or fur baby, please let me know, and I will happily accommodate.

“Makayla is as great! Communication was easy, she was great with our golden, Easy, and could tell that she genuinely cares a lot about animals. Highly recommended!”

About: Hello everyone!, my name is Dominique and I have always had a dog in my life. My earliest memories consist of watching and helping my dog give birth and raise 10 puppies when I was 4 years old. Volunteering at the Austin Animal Center as a teenager was a natural step in my love for animals. I walked the small dogs outside for bathroom breaks and playtime while keeping puppies occupied when their crates were getting cleaned. I also walked the large dogs from their suites to the group play area and supervised multiple large dogs’ interactions. My friends have been trusting me to care for their animals and homes for 7 years now, and I have absolutely loved it! My experience ranges from small dogs to big dogs, puppies to seniors, and I have administered oral medication numerous times. The longest I have house sat was a week straight and the most animals I have cared for at a time is 4. I can’t wait to meet you and your babies❤️ I am currently working part time as a babysitter so I have a lot of availability for walks, feeds, hangouts, play, and cuddles! I am available seven days a week for feedings, walks, and daytime care starting at 10:30 am and into the night. For housesitting visits, I can come and stay at your house Friday night, Saturday night, and holidays for overnight care. First of all, I respect, follow, and complete all written or spoken directions on how to care for your pet and take care of your house. A typical sitting appointment for me is being there to provide food/water, frequent bathroom breaks, outside play, inside play (if given permission), a walk around the neighborhood (if requested), and a movie night with unlimited cuddles 🥰. I believe that it’s important to follow your pets’ cues so if they need extra attention, I am there to play or run around and if they need more space/alone time, I give them that time adjust. While we are having nap/down time, I will complete any household task asked of me which can consist of gathering the mail, putting out trash cans, watering the plants, etc. My favorite part of this experience is forming a bond with clients both human and dog so you can feel comfortable leaving your home in a trusted person’s hands!

“Jamie is amazing and takes great care of Luna. She’s professional, reliable and actively communicates. She is patient with my senior dog and cares for her like one of her own. 5 stars Highly Recommend”

About: I grew up with a wide variety of animals but especially cats and dogs. I’ve been dog sitting and walking as a side hustle since freshman year of high school in 2016. I moved out and got certified as a wag walker in early 2023. It’s been a great side hustle over the years and I’ve picked up additional skills like training and grooming. I also have two cats as an adult. What has changed currently is leaving my full time job in hopes of connecting with things I love like animals. My parents no longer live in state and I miss my dog friends. I make my own schedule and most of my income is currently from pet care. Open to odd jobs and odd hours, genuinely love the work. I have diagnosed ocd so if you give me a list I will stick to it. I try to go above and beyond when it comes to care and that extra step. Bonding with the animal and understanding their specific personality is highly important to me.

About: Owned and taken take of pets all my life. From dogs and cats to chicken and emus. Only have a cat and rabbit now but shockingly they are best buds Working part time at a job in bee caves but have most of my weekdays free. Plus it's like fur baby meditation. Or at least how it feels. I always will have respect for how any fur baby feels. Whether it's they are nervous the first visit to them getting over excited. Either way an accident happens (potty or nip) not blaming the pet, just cleaning up and try to move forward.

“Great took very good care of my senior dog. He gave a little extra love and care when she needed it. He is professional and is responsive. I highly recommend him. He was a terrific Dog Walker and will use him again.”

About: I have grown up around animals and currently care for four cats, so pet care has always been a big part of my daily life! Over the years, I’ve also helped neighbors with dog walking and pet sitting, and volunteered with animal shelters, which have given me hands-on experience with a wide range of animals and temperaments. I especially enjoy working with cats and have experience with all ages and backgrounds, including cats with specific medical or behavioral needs. I’m comfortable with administering oral and injectable medications, and I’m very attentive to routine, comfort, and stress levels, especially for anxious pets. In addition to cat care, I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting. Currently, I am most familiar with Labs and Doodles, but have experience walking dogs of different sizes (including puppies!) and breeds through pet sitting and helping neighbors, and I’m confident handling structured walks and daily care routines. I currently work part-time and am in college, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide consistent communication and frequent updates while I’m with your pets! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely and prioritize their normal routine so they feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. At this time, I am not boarding dogs in my home. For cat boarding, however, I provide a calm, indoor-focused environment where safety and supervision are always the priority.

About: I've taken care of many dogs and cats over the years, young and old, large and small, well trained and not so well trained. Big believer in lots of walks (when the heat permits), lots of fresh water and pets/play time to keep the furballs entertained. I work from home, I am a software developer. We have a peaceful house with 2 cats. They are friendly with dogs who are friendly with cats. Dogs cared for in our home can expect 2 walks a day and to be let out as often as they need, I usually offer them to go outside every 2 hours.

About: I have taken care of a variety of dogs of all ages. I have also had dogs all my life, (specifically beagles), so I understand what is needed to take care of dogs and how to love them (because dogs are our best friends). I am available and flexible during the day but work evenings/nights for 5-7 hours most days of the week. I am still capable of taking care of pets and giving the best care possible. I can easily adapt and adjust to new environments so I will be able to care for your pets in your home where they feel comfortable and safe!

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover with 16 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As a proud Great Dane mom to two gentle giants, I'm very comfortable handling large breeds, but I adore dogs of every shape and size. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or prefers to spend the day relaxing on the couch, I'm happy to match their energy and routine to help them feel comfortable while you're away. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and am comfortable administering oral medications, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in capable, attentive hands. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I've volunteered with PVAC and Austin Pets Alive!, where I've worked with dogs from many different backgrounds and temperaments. Their well-being, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. I know every dog is unique, and I'll treat your furry family member with the same love, patience, and care I give my own. I can't wait to meet you and your best friend! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As a dog owner myself, my schedule already revolves around walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I make sure every pet in my care gets the time, exercise, and companionship they need to feel happy and comfortable. My dogs get a lot of love. Constant cuddles, pets and treats. I walk them everyday and always ensure they’re hydrated, I would do the same for other doggos. Not every dog is the same, adjustments can always be made.

“Kat is the best! She had the best disposition with dogs and I'm so thankful for her!”

About: As a lifelong cat owner, I have experience caring for cats of all ages, from bottle babies and energetic kittens to senior cats over 15 years old. I’ve also cared for cats with special medical and behavioral needs, including diabetes and age-related cognitive challenges. I understand that every cat has a unique personality and comfort level, and I take the time to build trust at their pace. Whether your cat enjoys lots of playtime and attention or prefers a quieter environment, I’ll make sure they receive personalized care, fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and plenty of affection while maintaining their normal routine. My goal is to help your cat feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I have time throughout the week to provide attentive care for your pets. My availability varies depending on classes and work, but I am available for drop-in visits, walks, and pet sitting throughout the week and on weekends. When caring for your pet, I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship while maintaining their regular routine as closely as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special care requests. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, routines, and needs to help them feel secure while you’re away. Whether caring for pets in your home or during visits, I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving reliable and loving care.

About: I grew up with a dog until I was 18 (Westie - Minnie) and then after college was adopted by a wonderful rescue sphynx (PyeWacket). Over then next 20 or so years I have had 4 sphyx cats (PyeWacket, Forty Two, Tesla and Cairo) and 1 Lyikoi (Cypher). Over the last year my house has had 4 puppies (from 8 weeks), 2 turtles, 2 Guinea pigs, 2 full size dogs 6 cats and multiple fish. I also often house sit for a very smart chihuahua named Mazie. Currently in between jobs so my schedule is fairly open. Like early and late walks due to the heat but open for anything. Open to late night feedings if needed. I treat your animals like they were my own. Love to play, hang out and what ever your little one needs. Need to make sure they know they are loved.

“Super communicative and took great care of our pups!”

“Kristen has been absolutely wonderful with my dog, Maverick! She’s incredibly responsive, communicates throughout the day about how he’s doing, and always sends the sweetest updates. I really appreciate how flexible she’s been with my schedule and how dependable she is. It’s such a relief knowing Maverick is in great hands — highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy walker!”

“Very happy with Jade's service! She takes wonderful care of Luna, sends detailed updates, and pays close attention to details like fresh water and securing the home before leaving. Luna loves her and gets excited whenever I tell her Jade is coming.”

About: I know how important it is to make sure your pets are well taken care of while you're away, and I'm here to do just that! I’m a teacher/coach enjoying summer break! I am home full time for the summer, and would love to care for your pets like they’re my own. I have a super chill golden retriever, Mason, to keep your fur baby company! I also have a cat named Cali who is very friendly as well, but will probably stow herself away when company is over (cat things).
