About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I have experience with a wide range of breeds, personalities, and energy levels — from playful puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and comfort. I understand that every dog is different, and I always make it a priority to help them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their routine, I’ll make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. I am currently a college student with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to focus on walks, drop-ins, play sessions, and quality care for your pets. I’m dependable, attentive, and always happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I’m especially mindful of dogs who may feel nervous in new environments or around new people. I take the time to learn each dog’s personality, routine, and needs so they can feel as relaxed and happy as possible during our time together. I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, and any special needs. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment, and I make sure pets are always supervised. I’m attentive to behavior and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.

About: I grew up with French bulldogs and rescued my dog Dot last year. I love dog sitting for friends and family and have experience administering medicine and fostering kittens and rescue dogs. I work fully remote with a super flexible work schedule that allows me to take frequent breaks to step away from my computer. I am pretty active and would love to have a dog to join me on walks or going to the park! I live in a townhouse with easy access to a dog friendly park and nature trails. There are 3 vet offices on my block as well as a pet store for any needed supplies! I have a dog of my own that is very chill and loves meeting new friends. I also live with 2 cats that are super friendly and get along well with most dogs. My apartment is 2 floors which means that any pets can be separated if needed.

About: I've always grown up around dogs since I had two family dogs and my mom does dog sitting as a side job. I helped her a lot in high school so I have a lot of experience with this work. I love dogs and would love to take care of yours! I'm currently a college student at UT, I don't have anything going on in the summer so I'm mostly free anytime. I have a lot of time on my hands so I'll make sure to take good care of your pets When I enter other people's homes for pet care work, I make sure to leave the area clean and tidy. Always make sure the doors are locked and the pets are safe

About: I have been around pets my whole life, but I’ve been taking care of them on my own for about 2 years. I also have personal experience owning a dog, a cat and two guinea pigs. I have cared for pets of all ages from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets that need extra attention. Every pet I have taken care of has always been in good hands I’m a college student in the AFROTC program at UT Austin. My weekdays can get pretty busy with classes, but Mondays and Fridays I’m mostly free. I also have some breaks between classes Tuesday through Thursday where I can stop by for pet care. Fridays and weekends are usually wide open, so I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention they need I don’t bring pets into my own home, but I make sure they’re comfortable and cared for in their own space. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, keep up with feeding and walks, give them playtime and attention, and make sure they feel safe while you’re away.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life! My personality has grown around my love for animals and I know I would not be the person I am today without the unconditional love of animals. I have never not owned a pet, I love taking care of them and showing my love! I love all animals and am super comfortable around every kind. Friends can always rely on me to take care of their pets when they’re away, no problem! I just graduated in May from UT and am taking the summer off of work to have fun! I have a very open schedule and can be very flexible to take care of pets. I understand the need for the upmost care for your pets, considering I would want the same as well. Good communication is a key aspect to this care and I would make sure to check in and answer quickly in order to avoid any confusion. Also, I love taking pics so I can always send update pics to ensure safety and trust!

Addison has been absolutely amazing with my dog, Sky! From the very first walk, I could tell how much she genuinely cares about the animals she works with. Addison is reliable, communicative, and always goes the extra mile to make sure Sky is happy and safe. I feel so at ease knowing my pup is in such good hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog walker!

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.

However don’t fret, with me there is consistent communication, always with a cute picture of your furry children attached! I am pretty available since it’s the summer season!

About: I bring over a year and a half of professional experience working with cats, handling everything from daily care routines to administering a variety of medications and basic medical support. I also have six months of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from energetic puppies to large breeds like Mastiffs, and am comfortable meeting the needs of pets with different personalities and care requirements. I work full-time at an animal shelter, so providing attentive, compassionate care for animals is part of my daily routine. My early morning schedule allows me to spend the second half of my day focusing on giving your pets plenty of attention, care, and love. I share my home with a kitty who means the absolute world to me. He’s the sweetest boy and is always waiting at the door for cuddles the moment I get home. I make sure to keep life fun and enriching for him every day, whether that’s a long play session, brushing (his favorite) or a special treat. Because of how much I care for my own pet and pets at work, I understand how important it is to give animals the love, attention, and patience they deserve, and I’m confident I can provide that same level of care for your pets.

About: Since I was a child I have taken care of 2-3 dogs in one home and multiple cats with my family. All different types of dogs, fostering and rescuing animals when we could. Love to maintain healthy and clean animals so that they can live their best lives and feel loved! I am currently a fire fighter and looking for a side job. I am off for few days out of the week and want to be active and be around animals. I am currently taking care of my cats indoor to protect them from this heat. Often getting fresh water and have family dogs that like to go outside but stay cool so I often have little dog pools set up! I am okay with taking them outside or keeping them inside for some safe fun!

Cicely’s been helping me out with my 8 month puppy for over a month. Knowing he’s getting exercise, attention, and so much love gives me complete peace of mind. She’s reliable, kind, and always keep me updated. I couldn’t ask for anyone better to care for our sweet boy. Highly recommend!

Alyxandria took such a good care of our Ocean! This mischievous puppy got into a puddle of mud during the walk and Alyxandria took time to wash and dry Ocean before putting her into her kennel. She stayed in touch throughout the whole walk and gave updates when I was nervous. Will definitely recommend for walking and day care. Thank you Alyxandria!

Christian is the best! Our dogs are always happy to see her and we’re so happy knowing she’ll be there to walk them!! We appreciate Christian so much for being so great that we don’t have to worry at all! Radio can be very active with chasing lizards and dig/catch them if unattended or blinking too long. Christian is on it! Also, Freddie’s bladder is a special case and he’s not had any issue! I truly believe it’s because Christian listened to how his bladder needs micromanaged with only a small amount of water before being crated again. She’s a keeper!!

It only took a couple of minutes at the start of the pre-engagement meeting and for it to become clear to me that Zach is an excellent experienced dog handler. My own experience with dogs includes training Australian Shepherds for sheep herding competitions and I have qualified for national competition twice. My yardstick for rating a dog handler has a correspondingly higher bar. So along with my complement was that quick understanding that I didn’t need to know anything else and that my dog was is as safe hands as she could be in. People simply don’t reach Zach’s level of engaging with dogs without also demonstrating to the dog that the dog is in anything other than very safe hands and that doesn’t happen if it’s not actually true. So with my and the dog’s approval, Zach was hired and lived up to both mine and the dog’s expectations. No problem.
