Dog Walking Downtown

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”

“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.

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.

“Bleu was great !! So communicative and helpful”

“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!”

“Lily is AWESOME!!! Justice (my precious dog), was anxious when he first met her, but Lily was extremely patient and SO VERY loving and gentle with him - Needless to say, Lily quickly won him over!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! ❤️”

About: I've always had dogs in my life. I grew up with smaller dogs in my family, but when I moved off to college I didn't have as much time around them. It honestly took a minor toll on my mental health, because I actually believe dogs are the key to happiness. Once I moved to Arlington and my roommate had a dog (a medium sized), I knew I needed to surround myself with more. And what better way to get to know the community than to take care of the most important part of it! Working remotely gives me the incredible flexibility to make pet care a seamless part of my day. While I work a standard 9-to-5 schedule, my job allows me to easily step away from my desk whenever needed. Whether that means taking your dog out for a mid-day potty break, going on an afternoon walk to burn off some energy, or giving a cat some quality cuddle time, I can accommodate your pet’s exact routine without delay. When I take on a pet sitting commitment, that work becomes my top priority. My flexible remote setup means I’m present, attentive, and available throughout the day - giving your pets the companionship and supervision they need so you can have complete peace of mind while you're away. Whether I’m hosting your pet at my home or caring for them in yours, safety and trust are my top priorities. My own space is fully pet-proofed, safe, and secure for hosting, while in your home, I treat your property with absolute respect, adhering strictly to your house rules, routine, and security preferences. On walks and during yard play, I stay 100% focused on your pet - maintaining a secure grip on the leash, monitoring weather and pavement conditions, and actively avoiding potential hazards or unfamiliar dogs. Building trust starts with clear, reliable communication. I make a point to send frequent updates and photos so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. From double-checking fence latches to keeping strict safety routines, I take every precaution to give you complete peace of mind while you're away.

“Paige is so awesome with my boy Benny! What a gift she is as I was so worried about leaving my boy. She is so attentive and loving with him. 🤗”

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.

“Jeremy is a great Rover walker. It’s so hot outside that we needed to bump back the time of the walks and just mostly play indoors and he is very accommodating. Our dog loves seeing him each day!”

Haley V.

“She is such an amazing dog walk and I have been so thankful to have found Paige. My dogs are happy each time she comes to pick them up and the photos she captures helps ensures that my dogs are well taken care of. I highly recommend her services.”

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

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.

“David was great! Penny loved him and she is very picky on humans. Will definitely book in the future!”

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

“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'm hoping to find a sweet dog that is looking for a sweet girl to visit and walk with daily. If that's your dog, please send them my way. My goal is to make you and your pet feel comfortable while you're away. I'm extremely responsible, professional, and respectful of your home and privacy, not to mention kind of a clean freak. Your dog will love all the attention they receive while we relax, watch Netflix, and cuddle. Did I mention the hundreds of belly rubs they'll get while I'm there. That's included at no additional cost. What started out as taking care of friends and family's pets has turned into a genuine love for this business. I love each and every pet I care for and have formed special bonds with them all. I personally don't have pets which allows me the flexibility to care for yours, as well as fill my life with great joy getting to know them. I hope to meet your sweet loved ones and continue to have the best job in the world. I walk dogs daily and have a set schedule with them. I'm looking to add more dogs to my rotation between the hours of 10 and 5, Monday thru Friday. I have stayed in many homes without incident and pride myself in the respect I show to your possessions. I will take care of your pets in the comfort of their own home and surroundings to put them at ease while their family is away.

“Otto really enjoyed his walks with David. Otto was very excited every time David came to walk him. David was flexible, punctual, and highly communicative. We would definitely hire David again to walk Otto.”
