Dog Walking Chestnut

“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.

“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!”

James & Grace B.

“Meg was absolutely wonderful with Mika. She clearly loves animals and was patient with my senior dog. She was communicative, reliable and sent cute pics. Greatly appreciate her!”

About: I’ve been a dog owner for the last 25 years of my life. I just love how every pet has its own personality and how you connect on different levels with them. I treat every animal like my own, with patience, play and lots of belly rubs! I’m a homemaker so I have plenty of time especially in the mornings when my daughter is at school; and since I just have one kid and one dog I’m very available I have a fence yard in my house and a dog park in my neighborhood as well as a dog park just across the street

“Andy was GREAT with Eve. Took her on a long walk, send lots of photos and videos of a happy pup and played with her more at home. He also gave her dinner and stayed a little extra, which we so appreciated her having the company. He was very communicative and kind and Eve just loved him!”

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.

“Sarah was wonderful with my dog and also fantastic to work with! She is extremely responsive and reliable. Her communication is excellent (including lots of details and photos after each walk)! I will happily book her again!”

About: I've had dogs my entire life, 3 decades of experience, including raising golden retriever puppies in our household and litters upon litters of kittens. though I would count the last 12 years since I was in college as heavy experience with dogs (and cats) of all kinds. I have personally had a rottweiler mix for 9 years, and currently have a 4 year old 105lb hound mix and an 3 year old 40lb cattle dog mix, as well as a 1 year old cat. I have helped different partners over the years raise anything from a 4lb chihuahua, a catahoula mix, and a french bulldog. Additionally I have bottle fed and raised several litters of kittens and fostered several cats and dogs over the years before locating them to forever homes. I don't have formal dog training experience but I am confident in my ability to love and care for dogs and cats of all types. I am self-employed and my hours are incredibly flexible as I work from home. I live in East Austin. I am self employed so I have a flexible schedule that I fill my extra time with dog walking and pet sitting when I can. I live with my partner and our 3 dogs so for dog sitting I would prefer to drop into or stay in your home but am happy to do so!

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.

About: I've taken care of stray cats. When I moved to Austin, I decided to pet sit. I had great experiences with pet sitting cats and dogs. I enjoy taking care of cats. I enjoy walking dogs. I keep communication with pictures and updates. I can administer medication, keep them on a routine, and play and cuddle with them. I know it's important to take care of your lovely fur babies! I've gained so much exposure through another pet sitting site. I have maintained a stellar 5-star throughout my pet sitting journey. I do pet sitting for fun! I have started petsitting, besides the stray cats I used to take care of. My schedule is updated constantly. My schedule is open to Monday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday. I am a reliable pet sitter. I am a solo sitter. I am caring, responsible, and neat. I like to leave things the way you left them, and I do a great job at cleaning up after myself. If there are any house rules, I follow them!

About: I've never met a dog or cat I can't win over. I meet them at their pace, never pushing unwanted interaction onto them. I have volunteered and fostered for multiple shelters. I have experience administering medicine, grooming, and bathing. Currently working part-time, so I'm relatively free to look after pets. I am also a morning person, and I don't mind getting up early to check in on and walk someone's baby, especially with how hot it is right now. I will follow your guidance on your dog or cat's care in your household to a T. I want to alleviate the stress an animal may feel meeting a new person by sticking to their usual routine.

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for pets of all ages and needs—from energetic puppies to sweet senior companions. I work from home full-time, which means I’m available throughout the day and night, weekdays and weekends, to give your pet the love, attention, and care they deserve. Whether your pet needs oral medication, extra patience on leash walks, or just lots of snuggles and playtime, I’ve got it covered. I’m experienced with leash-reactive dogs, senior pets, and those with special routines or requirements. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priority. I’d love to be your pet’s second best friend (you’ll always be number one)! Feel free to reach out with any questions—I’m excited to meet you and your furry family member! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. Since I work from home, I have the flexibility and availability to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day—whether it’s feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, or just keeping your pet company. My schedule allows me to easily accommodate morning, midday, and evening routines, as well as any special needs or last-minute requests. On weekends, I’m also home and fully available, so your pet will never be without attention or companionship. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s something I truly enjoy and prioritize every day. When pets are in my care, I treat them like part of the family. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where they can relax, play, and feel right at home. I keep their routines as consistent as possible—feeding schedules, walk times, medication, and any special care instructions you provide are followed closely. Whether it’s cuddles on the couch, playtime in the yard, or quiet time for older pets, I tailor my care to their unique needs and personality. I’m home throughout the day and night, so your pet will never be left alone or without attention.

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

Victoria R.

“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.”

About: I don’t know a life without pets to care for! I was raised with both dogs and cats and currently have 2 big dogs of my own. I am regularly caring for friends, family, or friend of friends’ pets - both cats and dogs and including drop-ins or boarding at either their house or mine. For drop-ins and walks I am generally available weekdays from 11a - 6p for same-day notices. With a bit of notice I have weeknight availability. My two dogs have a large fenced backyard and a fenced front yard, and also get walks with my husband and I. My dogs are both 50-55 pounds and I can handle both simultaneously without issue. For both your dog and my safety, I don’t walk reactive dogs over 75 pounds unless my husband is available for assistance (limited availability and will require more advanced notice).

About: I had an older dog for four years that I love to take care of. I am flexible with the activity levels of your pets. I work remotely. My job is flexible, so I work from my home or somewhere else. I also am flexible on weekends for pet care. My complex is in a safe area and has an accessible walking trail. I have reliable transportation to get me to and from client’s home.

“My dog loooooooves Erica! She is punctual and reliable and I can trust my dog is in great hands when we arent around. In a town where good help is hard to find, we are feeling super lucky!!”

About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was a little boy and I age always loved all my pets. I love matching their energy and giving them the love they want and need. Currently, I'm going to school and I have a lot of time before and after school to hang out with any ones pets. I love getting up in the morning and hanging out with my cat so I believe that I would love to do the same with other pets. I love giving time to my cat. She's extremely curious and loving hiding in tiny areas of my apartment. I recently finish reorganized my room so that she has a bigger area to explore.
