Dog Walking Daffan

About: I’ve taken care of a large breed dog and a small breed dog for the past 10+ years. I don’t currently have a dog but recently fostered a Greyhound. I work from home 3x a week and take dogs for a longer walk in the morning and evening. My office schedule is flexible and I live 20 minutes from the office. My sister and I grew up with dogs and I recently fostered a Greyhound in Austin for two months. I like to take dogs out at least 3x a day

“Madeline was absolutely incredible with Frances! This was my first time using Rover and I am so happy that it was with someone as wonderful as Madeline. She was professional, kind, and provided me (a certified helicopter mom) with incredibly thorough updates. I would recommend her to all and will definitely be asking for her help again!”

About: As a dog mom to both a senior dog and a young pup, I understand that every dog has different needs and personalities. I have experience caring for senior dogs, including giving oral medications and providing extra patience and comfort, as well as keeping younger, energetic pups active and engaged. I'll care for your pets like they're my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine since I work from home 4 out of 5 weekdays and have weekends free. My schedule is pretty low-key, which gives me the flexibility to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, or cuddles or whatever your pup needs to feel comfortable and cared for. I do my best to keep your pet on their normal routine so they feel comfortable while you're away. Whether I'm caring for them in my home or yours, I'll follow their feeding schedule, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. I'll also make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and updates, so you can have peace of mind knowing they're in good hands.

“I recently had the pleasure of entrusting my furry friend to Chance. From the outset, Chance displayed a remarkable level of dedication and professionalism. What truly set Chance apart was his initiative in arranging a pre-walk meeting with both me and my dog. This allowed for a seamless transition on the scheduled day, as Chance already had a good understanding of my dog's needs and preferences. During the walk, Chance went above and beyond by sending regular photo and video updates. These thoughtful gestures not only reassured me of my dog's well-being but also demonstrated Chance's genuine care and attention to detail. I can confidently say that Chance is an outstanding dog walker who genuinely loves what he does. His commitment to providing top-notch care and keeping both pets and owners happy makes him a true gem in the world of dog walking. I highly recommend Chance to anyone seeking a reliable and compassionate caregiver for their furry companions.”

“Payton is very responsive, prompt, professional, and easy to communicate with. She sent me frequent text and photo updates, which helped me feel at ease while I was away. I had a very short-notice request, and Payton gladly took on the challenge. She had my dog Frimpy smiling real big - highly recommend :)”

It was clear that Tina was well cared for and comfortable with him. We truly appreciated his reliability and attention to detail.

About: I have 10 years of experience with rowdy pups, with three of my own! I’m happy to meet your furry friends, and take them off your hands so you can relax! I work from home, and have a very open and flexible schedule! I am available for drop ins, walks, play and boarding! My goal is to help you as best as possible! I have a large fenced yard, and 3 furry friends to play. If your pup prefers privacy, I have plenty of space and rooms they can hide in, and keep them separate!

“Nancy is simply amazing — truly a beautiful soul. While we were away for three weeks, she took exceptional care of our German Shepherd and gave us complete peace of mind. She consistently went above and beyond, and even took the time to help my mother with our elderly dog as well. We feel incredibly fortunate and blessed to have found Nancy. I sincerely appreciate everything she has done for our family and cannot thank her enough. Highly recommended.”

About: Being honest, it has always been incredibly easy for me to connect with pets, especially dogs. I now have a 2 year old shihtzu who I absolutely adore and spoil every day. Sometimes I feel like he needs a little brother or a friend to play with, and even when I’m out with him, you’ll still catch me trying to pet every dog we pass. I simply love them deeply. Before having him, I had a Chihuahua for 13 years, and she taught me so much about unconditional love. I’ve also cared for family and friends’ dogs whenever they needed help. One moment that really showed me how naturally I bond with dogs was during a family beach trip, we found a big Boxer in the backyard who barked nonstop and scared everyone away. I was the only one who tried to approach him calmly and understand him. After spending time talking to him through the fence, he eventually trusted me enough to let me pet him. Soon after, I was able to go into the yard with him, and he turned out to be the sweetest dog. My family was shocked at how naturally and confidently I connected with him. That experience, among many others, made me realize how much I truly understand dogs, their fears, their excitement, their need for love, and how much joy it brings me to care for them. I am a person that love to exercise, love to go out in walks, hiking and also I love to wake up early. I think that a weekly pet routine would be like a peace time for me. I live in an apartment with my husband and our sweet shihtzu. I’m very flexible and always follow any rules or routines you have: feeding times, portions, walks, medication, anything your pet needs. I’m also happy to do a quick free meet-and-greet beforehand so you can feel completely comfortable and confident with me taking care of your treasure!

“Super reliable and gets along great with pets!”

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

About: I have taken care of many dogs for family and friends in the Austin area for overnight trips, emergency trips, and day to day care. I follow instructions well and love to spend time with all animals, especially dogs. I take care of my two cats at home daily and occasionally take care of other pets for friends and family. I have a part time job so my schedule is flexible. I check their essentials every day (water, food, etc.) and spend time with them to make sure they’re active and happy. Any other needs I happily take care of with instructions given to suit the needs of your pet and home!

“Wow! What a great experience with Lakeisha! She was on time, Sat and talked to me about her history…very friendly, asked question about my dog, the whole 9 yards! My 90- pound dog really took to Keisha. She took him on a 30-minute walk and sent video while they walked. He was a well- behaved, happy to be on a walk dog!! I think she and my dog made an instant connect. He was happy when he got back and so was I. Lakeisha will be here 3 days a week and my pup and I look forward to it! I highly recommend Lakeisha!!”

About: I have been around dogs my whole life. My friends and family leave their animals with me when they go on long vacations. It’s always such a joy to have extra cuddles in my home. I currently am not working as I’m going to school for my Masters. I am at home everyday so this gives me time to give your pet all the love. I care for pets taking into considerations all needs. I will do everything I can to ensure your pet is comfortable during their stay. We know how it feels to leave your baby with a literal stranger.

“Ashlynn is amazing! She’s been taking Ford on walks 3-5 days a week the past couple of months. She’s always on time, quick to reply and sends daily updates. We are lucky to have her help, since we have to work in the office. We can tell she cares and loves for him, which is all you can ask for!!”

About: I have been pet sitting for over 10 years and love taking care of animals of all kinds and temperaments. Additionally, I have 5 years of volunteer experience with dogs, cats, and livestock in a shelter setting. I have worked with senior dogs, dogs with medical needs (including injectable medications), and behavioral challenges. I am currently a stay at home mom and available for pet care 24/7. I typically take my own dog on 2 walks a day and do not leave him home alone longer than a couple hours. I have a fenced yard, crate if needed, and a friendly 70 lb dog who loves company. I would love to have your dogs or cats join us for a stay! For boarding clients— I do have chickens in my backyard in a secure fenced area not accessible to the dogs. Most dogs are fine with this but I am unable to take dogs that are reactive to small animals as it is too stressful for them.

About: I've raised dogs since childhood. Experienced with all sizes, seniors, and medication needs. I'm a true animal lover and care for them like family. You can trust! I work from home and have full availability every day. Your pet won’t be left alone for long, as I rarely go out and only for quick errands. My home has a fenced backyard, space for crates if preferred, and there is a dog park in my neighborhood for fun and safe playtime!
