Dog Walking Colton

“we have to really express our thanks for Brianna, who stepped in last minute to walk our dog when a different rover.com. walker canceled on us with absolutely no notice. She was so kind and found a way to make it work for the week, and we are so grateful!”

“Ryan is our go-to walker for our Blue Heeler pup! Nova comes back tired and happy after her walks with Ryan and seems to genuinely enjoy the time out with him. He’s always on time, sends pictures of the walks and is super responsive with his communication. I am grateful to have found him on Rover and will definitely be booking walks and sits with him in the future!”

About: Caring for dogs has always been my thing. I currently have four at home that I love, care, and walk or run with them every opportunity I get! I love meeting new cute furry and friendly faces! I am a very on time person when it comes to meeting up as well as schedules to follow for your dog. In addition to caring for your dog, if you need help around the house, I’ll be more than willing to take care of things for you. I am a morning person, so if needed before work or when you go to work, I can be there to take care of your dog! Taking them to the park and playing is always fun! Hope to see you!

“Itzel is a great dog walker! She took great care of my babies and even helped me out last minute. She was very communicative and polite!”

“Sierra did a great job with my puppy Apollo. He has a ton of energy and is still learning the basics but she was patient and caring with him, helped reinforce some of those basics, and made sure he got time outside and some genuine affection. Would definitely recommend her for anyone else needing someone to look after or walk their fur child :)”

About: I consider myself a dog lover since I was a kid! I grew up with two dogs and have been dogsitting for three years now. My wife and I have a lovely, very friendly Chihuahua, his name is Domingo and he’s 1 year old. We recently moved from Downtown Austin where we used to dog sit for our neighbors and people in our building - from puppies to senior dogs (small-medium size only). Looking to meet more dogs in the area to take care of! I'm currently searching for a job and decided to join Rover as a dogsitter in the meantime. As result, my schedule is extremely flexible throughout the whole week. If you need someone to take care of your doggo, please reach out and I'll be there. My wife and I live in a lovely-cozy three bedroom house in Easton Park (Southeast Austin area). We generally care for small and medium size dogs since we can accommodate those more easily in our space. We live close to multiple parks and walking trails for ideal dog walking adventures and sniffaris :)

About: My name is Becky and I moved to Austin in 2018 from Miami. I grew up with indoor/outdoor cats and smaller dogs. I work a 8-4 Monday-Friday job but am available after 4:30pm anywhere in Austin and during the week and midday for South Austin visits/walks. I currently the proud parent of an orange tabby and regularly dog and cat sit. I love a chance to meet a new buddy. I am a quick drive to anywhere in Central Austin and work down south for an after work or lunch hour walk. Always looking for an excuse to go for a walk and I would love to show your fur baby around. Message me to see if I can care for your pet while away! - Becky I have a cat and regularly feed and clean litter box and exercise him. I love when I’m watching a dog to go out on a quick and then longer walk in the day. I like to give the animal the first time I meet them some space and let them approach me. I always want to make sure the animal knows I’m here as well for their socialization

About: Dog mom looking to spread the love! I have six years with my baby, Murphy, a pit boxer rescue pup. I just adopted my second child, Benny, another pit! I absolutely love dogs and I treat mine like human children. I would be honored to care for your kiddos like caring for mine. I work from home, so I have flexibility. I walk my dogs daily and take park trips minimum weekly. I have no issue with car rides to get pup cups or for hikes on the weekends! I treat every pet like my own- with the utmost respect and care! If coming into your home, I will honor all home rules and go above & beyond in my services. I am happy to provide character references upon request :)

About: I’ve personally taken care of dogs and cats for over the last 15 years and currently have my own pup! I have never met a dog I didn’t immediately love and my partner calls me a dog whisperer because of how great I can bond with them. I currently work full time at Dirty Dog - Grooming and Boarding so my schedule is very fluid and I’m often available during the day on weekdays as well as weekends. My partner also works from home so there is always an extra set of helping hands when needed! In my time off, I enjoy reading, paddle boarding on the lake, practicing yoga, and a new hobby of mine - rock painting! I would love to add taking care of other people’s fur babies to my list of activities (: In my own home, my dog and dogs I’m sitting will get frequent walks and visits to the local dog park. We also have plenty of space and toys for animals to enjoy themselves inside my home. In terms of trust, I will always follow a pets lead when it comes to how they’re feeling and what their needs are. Making sure an animal feels comfortable and safe will always be top priority.

“Jacob was great with Hank! Stepped in last minute and did a wonderful job. Great communication and very easy going. Will definitely use again and highly recommend”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. I volunteer with an animal rescue nonprofit and I have two adopted dogs of my own. I have experience with special needs dogs and I know how important it is to trust who takes care of your fur babies! I am currently looking for a new full-time job so my schedule is flexible. I can be available any week day to drop by and walk your pups. Having two rescues of my own, I know every dog has different needs. I want to make your pet as comfortable as possible so we can have a fun time together!

“Kira was super sweet with my Bo Baby. He was so happy to have a mid day walk while I was at work. Will book again when I have another busy day :)”

About: I had my first dog 16 years ago and when he passed, I literally dedicated my life to continuing his legacy. I quit a stable job and started a small business for dogs and their pawrents just to be able to surround myself with the little souls I love most! Throughout the years, I also rescued another dog, who I dogsat often and she lived a beautiful life with my family. I cared for countless friends’ dogs, as well, including my sister’s senior dog with multiple health issues. I am active physically and frequently run or walk around the neighborhood, so I figured I could add some company to my daily walks! Walking/running around my neighborhood is part of my daily routine as a small business owner, so I’d be happy to walk your pups as we can keep eachother company! I will always ask if there is anything I need to know about your pup before walking them. I take the necessary precautions before walking them and will inform you if I feel it may be too hot to walk your pup at the time requested. I will also ensure that there is enough space between dogs to help prevent stress or anxiety when interactions may occur. If they need a potty break, I make sure to pick up after them at no extra charge… because a clean neighborhood makes a great neighborhood :)

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life. My family has always had one or two Golden’s and had cats as well. I worked at an animals hospital for 4 years where I work with the boarded dogs. I would have to feed these dogs, walk them 2 times a day and bath them. I know how to handle large dogs, aggressive dogs and senior dogs. I am very comfortable with dogs and love to be in their presence. I have a bunch of experience taking care of dogs and need my dog fix since I cannot afford my own at the moment. I had to move away from my puppy so I am more than happy to watch your dog so I can get my dog fix. I make your pets a top priority and thoughtfully plan my work schedule around their care. Make sure they feel most comfortable and make sure their routines are not jeopardized. I care for pets like my own, following their routine, giving lots of love, and keeping owners updated. Lots of photos and videos sent as well!

“Highly recommended!”

About: I have 2 pups of my own so I have all of the skills needed to take care of any dog including the younger ones! I make sure the pups are entertained for the entirety of my visit! My job is work from home, so I can watch your pets any day of the week, all day! I can take breaks to take your dog on a couple walks throughout the day if needed. I love taking the dogs on walks or running around the backyard with them! I try to get them as much outside time as possible while I’m there.

About: Hi, I’m Derik. I’m a former professional, full-time dog walker (2011–2016) with extensive experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’ve handled multi-dog packs (up to 6 at a time), so I’m very comfortable managing energy, behavior, and group dynamics safely. Today, I offer a more personalized, structured experience—whether that’s walks, drop-ins, or small-group boarding. Your dog won’t just be “watched”—they’ll be engaged, exercised, and cared for with intention. I live an active lifestyle and prioritize: • Daily walks and outdoor time • Structured routines and calm environments • Safe, attentive supervision at all times For boarding, I keep things limited (2 dogs max plus my dog) and controlled to ensure every dog gets proper attention and an stress-free experience. This isn’t a free-for-all environment—it’s thoughtful, balanced care. I’m confident with: • High-energy dogs • Larger breeds • Dogs that need structure and guidance ⸻ 🐶 What You Can Expect: • Consistent communication and updates • A clean, safe, and calm environment • Dogs treated like part of the pack (with structure, not chaos) ⸻ ⚖️ Good Fit: I do best with dogs that are: • Social or neutral with other dogs • Comfortable in a home environment • Used to walks and basic structure ⸻ 🚫 Not the Best Fit: • Dogs with severe aggression • Dogs with extreme separation anxiety requiring constant 24/7 attention ⸻ If you’re looking for reliable, experienced, and structured care, I’d love to connect. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I’m home the majority of the day, allowing for consistent supervision and attention. I structure my day around morning, mid-day, and evening walks, along with regular outdoor time and balanced downtime. Because I’m home often, dogs in my care are rarely left alone and receive consistent interaction throughout the day. For high-energy dogs, I can also incorporate light runs or extended walks when appropriate. For boarding, I accept no more than 2 guest dogs at a time (including my own) to maintain a calm, controlled environment and ensure each dog gets proper attention and space. I’m also happy to schedule a meet & greet beforehand to make sure it’s a great fit. Safety and structure are my top priorities in both my home and my client’s home. With my background as a former professional dog walker, I’m very aware of how quickly situations can change—so I stay proactive, not reactive. In my home: • Dogs are always supervised and introduced slowly and intentionally • I maintain a calm, structured environment—no overcrowding or chaotic play • I only accept a limited number of dogs to ensure safety and individual attention • Separate spaces are available if a dog needs time to decompress During walks and drop-ins: • Dogs are always kept on secure leashes (unless in a safely enclosed area) • I stay aware of surroundings, other dogs, and potential triggers • I adjust pace, distance, and activity based on each dog’s needs and temperament I take the time to understand each dog’s routine, personality, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. Clear communication and consistency are key to keeping dogs comfortable and stress-free.
