Dog Walking Dawson

About: I’ve spent my whole life taking care of pets and I have gained experience both in professional and personal settings. I have worked with a wide variety of dogs and cats with all kinds of routines and care needs and have no trouble adapting! I am available during mid June to mid September 2026 since I’m an out of state college student and this is my summer break! I am available for most of the week and can be flexible. Caring for your pet(s) in your home won’t be much of a hassle for me! I’ll be keeping an eye on your pet(s) at all times and will keep to whatever routine you give me. If you’re worried about playtime and cuddles, there’s no need because I plan to give your pet(s) all the attention they deserve and more!

“Meredith did a great job walking Salem!”

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.”

“Our boy loves walks with Lillian! We’ve been regulars with Lillian for a few months now. She is dependable, responsive, and flexible if plans change or we need coverage. Thank you for taking such good care of our guy!”

About: I’ve worked at an Animal Hospital for 3 years and have more knowledge on pet care and health than most! My friends have relied on me to take care of their dogs and cats when they’re out of town or unable to come home during their work day. Whether that’s just hanging out in their space, taking them on walks, administering meds, or having play time, the pets in my care are sure to feel safe and loved in my company. I’m currently on my self discovery journey and not working at a full or part time job. So, I’m pretty available, outside of taking care of my own kitties. When coming into you and your pets space, I make sure to discuss with you any behaviors your animal might display. It can be a little scary to meet a new person sometimes, so talking about whether or not your pet does best with being praised, given treats, or giving them their own space to come to you, will be a big part in developing that trust with them. I’m willing to work with you and your pets needs, however that looks!

About: Took a break from Rover as my job was more demanding but now back to having more flexibility and being remote full-time and want to put meaningful time back into Rover. During my time away from the app, I still continued to care for neighbors and friends animals. From puppies to older dogs that require a slower pace and / or specific care instructions. I grew up with dogs, so I have had the opportunity to care for a variety of dogs at all different ages and health conditions. I'm very adaptable to what they need. Have cared for dogs that love a lot of outdoor time and others that just want to lay on the couch. Have also cared for dogs that need special care - inclusive of special diets / eating times, administering medication and behavioral issues with people and other animals. I love love a good game of catch and never get tired of giving belly rubs and scratches behind the ear. I'm work from home full-time, so have plenty of time to care for your dog or cat. I can do walks any time of the day, head to the park or spend time with them in the house so they aren’t alone all day. For dogs, I have no issues taking them on a drive or in a store, if you are comfortable with that as well! I grew up with cats and dogs and currently have two cats of my own and share a backyard with my neighbor that has a dog. I’d care for them as I do the ones I am around every day. They are part of the family! Lots of love :) Most importantly I understand they are all different. So in order to provide the right care, I’ll take the time to ask the right questions and understand your pet so they get the care they need and deserve while you are away.

“Malery has been great! She has been walking my dog Tink most days for about a month, and Tink is so excited to see her each morning. She has great communication, and when something came up, she let me know if plenty of time so that I could ask another walker to come. Will most definitely ask her to help again!”

About: I grew up surrounded by animals and lived with four dogs from the time I was two until I left home at 20 to study abroad. Since then, one of the things I’ve missed most is having pets around! While living in Paris and NYC, I started dog sitting. I recently moved to Austin and would love to pick up dog walking here. I have lots of love, attention, and belly rubs to give, and I’d be so happy to spend that time getting to know your pup! I have plenty of time mostly in the afternoons as I work from home on my own design project. I sometimes travel out of town to see my family but will make sure to give the information needed before hand. Your dog can enjoy a relaxed walk or a good run—whatever suits them best! I’ll carefully follow any instructions and preferences you share to make sure both you and your pup are happy and comfortable!

“Kathryn is so great with my wild Millie girl. I trust her to keep her safe on walks and manage her if some other dogs get too sassy! Millie is sweet but also a 90 lb handful so I really appreciate Kathryn’s handling of her. Will be using her again!”

About: I've taken care of my own dogs my whole life; in fact, my first word was dog. I have a German Shepherd named Valerie and a Basenji named Sandy who fight like sisters. My duties have included making sure they are fed, fit, and loved. I love playing fetch and tug-of-war with them and giving them belly rubs! I've made sure they stay healthy by giving them any meds they need as they get older and brushing them weekly (even though they still shed like crazy!). I've also taken care of neighbors' dogs, feeding and taking them on walks while their owners were away. I've taken care of neighbors' cats too, cleaning out litter boxes and coming to play with them if they're in the mood! Looking forward to meeting all of your fur babies too! I'm a college student heading into my junior year and missing my dogs back home. I have a lot of availability to check in on pets or take them for walks around my class schedule, and I'm available for overnight stays any day of the week. I will care for pets in my client's home with the same respect and affection I care for my pets back home. I believe animals are highly intelligent, sweet creatures, each with their own personalities and preferences, and I aim to cater to them whenever possible!

“Allie was really incredible. She was very patient with my anxious pup, and available to accommodate me the day of when another sitter fell through. I’m very grateful for her detailed notes, as I left knowing my little guy was in good hands. I would love to work with her again. Thank you so much Allie!”

“Christine is the absolute greatest friend and caretaker to our dog Schlappen. She’s so attentive, responsive, loving and dependable. She treats your pet like it’s her own. All the qualities we look for while we go away and need someone to take good care of our dog. We really appreciate her and look no further when it’s time to schedule a Rover again. Thank you Christine! ❤️”

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.

“Madeline is amazing! Very punctual, super reliable, and does great with my dog. I trust her completely and I know my dog is in good hands with her. I highly recommend!”
