“I cannot recommend Aakash enough! He has walked my dog Cookie in the past, and she absolutely adores him! He is reliable, punctual, professional, and very kind. Cookie is always so happy on the days that Aakash has walked her, which truly shows what a quality caretaker he is! I couldn’t be happier with the service and would highly recommend Aakash to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog walker!”

9. Michael P.
“Michael has such a kind and gentle way with animals, and it’s especially clear in the love he gives to Turbo. Watching them together, you can see the trust and joy they share – it’s like Turbo knows he’s the luckiest dog in the world. Michael doesn’t just care for pets; he truly connects with them, always patient, always thoughtful. Whether it’s playing, cuddling, or just sitting quietly together, his bond with animals is something special. Turbo’s happy tail wags say it all – Michael is a true animal lover with the warmest heart.”

“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!”
11. Alexus W.
“My granddaughter is a great dogsitter and catsitter and has taken care of my 5 dogs from time to time. She has provided care for my dog of old age, Max, with medicine for his cataracts. She has also fostered in a few labrador puppies feeding them formula, giving a flea bath, and taking them in for their shots. I recommend her as she loves animals and is a hard worker.”

Highly recommend if you’re in need of doggie care!”

17. Jonathan H.
About: I’ve been a dog owner and have been dog sitting for friends and family since undergrad. I’m comfortable doing all the day-to-day (feed, walk, play) and can do the atypical like bathes, medications, clean-up. I recently completed my PhD student so study buddies were always more than welcome during the writing process. Now that I’m done, I’ve grown to love working from new locations around Austin, keeping your pup company, and having the excuse to break up the day with walks in a new neighborhood. Having dog sit for a range of pups, I am pretty comfortable letting your dog do it’s thing, be a lap dog, street patrol from the window, chase off the squirrels in the backyard. Let me know how your dog typically operates and I’ll try to maintain the rhythm.
18. Alice D.
“Alice was so sweet and friendly to my girl! Tully is still a pup so she pulled a bit, but Alice worked with her and attempted a jog! Would gladly book again!”
19. Chris M.
“Chris is great!!”
20. Nicole M.
