Dog Walking Central East Austin

About: I’m a real estate agent so my schedule is super flexible! I just love spending my extra time with cute dogs and cats. Animals have been a huge part of my life since I got my first dog at six years old, and today my three cats happily run the household. Friends know me as the person who ends up spending more time with the pets than the people, usually on the floor doing what we jokingly call "pet yoga" with whichever dog or cat wants to join. I have a special soft spot for rescue animals, senior pets, and those who need a little extra patience and understanding. I've supported local rescue organizations for years and even helped transport animals for Austin Pets Alive during the Texas floods. Whether your pet wants adventure, playtime, cuddles, or simply a calm companion, my goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I’m a real estate agent so my schedule is flexible! I’m an early riser and as a life long Texan, I don’t mind the middle of the day summer heat. Having worked with rescue animals and senior pets, I'm comfortable moving at each animal's pace and paying attention to the little details that help them feel secure and stress-free.

“There was a glitch and Sierra was able to be accommodating. I appreciate her professionalism and flexibility”

About: I’ve taken care of 3 Samoyeds most of my life, after their passing i’ve always had a special place in my heart for dogs. I am able to handle very large pups and very tiny pups!! I grew up learning how to take care of my oldest Samoyed (12) all the way to my youngest Samoyed (1). I love going for long walks and I know your dog does too! I also have many years of experience babysitting children with puppies and am able to juggle multiple energetic personalities. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup best friend😊 “Dogs are not our whole lives, but they make our lives whole.”

“Amelia is great! She’s been prompt and great, we had some issues with the building elevator etc and was ready to accommodate and make sure my pup was taken care of. I couldn’t recommend her more, she’s been great and I look forward to rebooking with her in the future 🙂”

About: I spent more than a decade loving a very large, very opinionated German Shepherd named Ruta through epilepsy, severe allergies, endless medication schedules, and his senior years, so “high-maintenance” pets don’t scare me. I tend to love them even harder. These days I’m supervised by Edwin, my mini Aussie rescue, who has strong opinions about other dogs, delivery trucks, and apparently several completely innocent squirrels. Living with him has made me very comfortable with boundaries, reactivity, slow introductions, and the fact that not every dog wants to be everybody’s friend. I’m also the person who genuinely wants the six-paragraph document explaining exactly how your dog likes breakfast. Give me the quirks, the routines, the medications, the weird little rules, the favorite toy, the thing they absolutely will not do unless you ask them in a very specific way. I want to know all of it. Basically: I take your pet seriously without taking myself too seriously. And yes, I will probably send you too many pictures. My schedule is pretty flexible, which means I can usually work around your pet’s normal routine. Walks, meals, potty breaks, meds, couch hangs; tell me what they’re used to and I’ll do my best to keep things consistent. Tell me everything. What’s their routine? What makes them nervous? Are they an escape artist? A sock eater? Do they lose their mind when a skateboard goes by? How are they on leash? I’m big on respecting a pet’s boundaries and keeping their routine as familiar as possible. I’d much rather know about a quirk or trigger ahead of time than be surprised by it later.

“John came through last minute when I came down with a bad cold, he was so kind to myself and Juno & took her on a nice long walk twice, the same day. I definitely recommend John!”

“Very communicative and responsible with our young and vivacious puppy. Christian worked her flawlessly on walks, reinforcing some training we’ve been doing while adapting to any particular needs she had that day. I would highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I can remember. I have always been the go-to with friends and neighbors to take care over night, walk or drop ins. I grew up with 3 dogs at once and from there have always had one of my own until recently with my job! I travel time to time for work, so owning one now isn’t in the cards. Being on Rover is the best of both worlds for me. I currently work from home, and have the flexibility to leave when needed. I wake up early for the gym, or a run, so if your dog likes running or needs a walk early in the morning, I can definitely do that as well. I live in an apartment, and it is very dog friendly. There are areas where other dogs are, if you are okay with that. I can wash the dog as well.

“Very patient dog walker for my senior girl. She was easy to communicate with and followed instructions perfectly. 🙂”

“Natalie did a great job walking my GSD Jansen. I got photos and updates. She was very considerate and good with communication. I will definitely book with her again.”

Audra S.

“Ramajana is fantastic! I was nervous having someone walk my dog for the first time but she is very kind, really easy to communicate with, and gave me updates on how it went. I’m looking forward to having her walk my dog on a weekly basis!”

About: I’ve grown up with and taken care of animals all my life. I have a 9 year old cat and 15 month old dog. They are my pride and joy. I also have experience with elderly dogs and cats. I am currently in between jobs and have plenty of time on my hands. I am available to pet sit all week and most weekends. I live in an apartment complex with a dog park. I also have a 15 month old pup who I take for walks at least 3 times a day. He’s great with other dogs both small and large and he lives with a cat. He’ll keep your pets company.

About: I am happy to walk your dog however far you want. Happy to pop in and check on the house whenever you’d like as well. I’m currently unemployed so I can be flexible. Hopefully I’ll have interviews pop up but I’m happy to work with the client. Preferably more morning and day heavy than evening heavy. Happy to play ball with your animals for hours or I can just hang out with them. I can’t have dogs in my apartment so this would have to be at your place.

“Tarak was awesome! Will definitely hire him again!”

About: I am a cat owner, dog aunt, and have had pets my entire life. I would love the opportunity to meet and care for your fur babies! I love taking dogs on long walks and playing with both cats and dogs. I hope to find repeat clients so that I can fully get to know your pets and their unique needs, and create a safe, comfortable experience for them while you're away. I work fully remotely and have a decent amount of flexibility throughout the work day. I am also available in mornings and evenings for walks and play time! I only offer dog walks or cat/dog visits in your home. I love going on long walks with dogs, playing with dogs and cats, and developing a friendship with animals.

“Brittany is a great source to wear out maya when we need extra exercise for her . Will definitely use her again”

Anne M.

“Heidi walked our dog for 4 days while we were out of town. I absolutely recommend her because she genuinely cares for each furbaby as if they were her own. She asked a lot of questions during her initial meeting with us and even took down her own notes. She was on time for each walk, gave detailed updates and sent a picture for every walk. I can tell she really cares and really made the extra effort to make sure my baby was comfortable and happy while we were away.”
