Dog Walking Driftwood

About: I have grown up around animals and currently care for four cats, so pet care has always been a big part of my daily life! Over the years, I’ve also helped neighbors with dog walking and pet sitting, and volunteered with animal shelters, which have given me hands-on experience with a wide range of animals and temperaments. I especially enjoy working with cats and have experience with all ages and backgrounds, including cats with specific medical or behavioral needs. I’m comfortable with administering oral and injectable medications, and I’m very attentive to routine, comfort, and stress levels, especially for anxious pets. In addition to cat care, I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting. Currently, I am most familiar with Labs and Doodles, but have experience walking dogs of different sizes (including puppies!) and breeds through pet sitting and helping neighbors, and I’m confident handling structured walks and daily care routines. I currently work part-time and am in college, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide consistent communication and frequent updates while I’m with your pets! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely and prioritize their normal routine so they feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. At this time, I am not boarding dogs in my home. For cat boarding, however, I provide a calm, indoor-focused environment where safety and supervision are always the priority.

About: Ive been around cats and dogs for my whole life so I know what they need and don't need. I have experience with puppy's and senior dogs that need extra care. I am personally a cat lover but love all animals! Im currently working part-time and a full time student. During the Summer I have plenty of time to care for your pets, however, Winter and Spring may vary. While watching over your pets, I will feed, play, and walk them as needed. I want to build a strong friendship with your pets so that I can keep them happy while you’re gone.

“Olive is always SO excited to be with Katrin.”

About: Time and love! Recently retired with nothing but time and excitement to care for others’ beloved pets, especially because I don’t currently have any of my own. I have a large, fenced in backyard in the quiet hill country. There is a lovely trail for taking walks, and I love to take the pups for rides in the car! I’m experienced in administering and staying on top of medications and treatments. My daughter has two dogs that she sometimes brings for visits. So, if your dog is social, there is an opportunity for playtime with fellow furry friends. Caring for your pets would be my one and only priority. I spend the majority of time at home, and exercise is very important to me so I hope your dog loves to walk! Safety and affection are priority. Keeping a close eye on your pet and always making sure all needs are met is a guarantee when you put them in my care!

About: I’ve always had dogs growing up and absolutely love being around them! Recently had to put our dog down so looking for a furry friend! I’m currently working part time so I have a lot of free time in my hands and a pretty flexible schedule as well which helps. At my house I have a fenced in yard that is a big size and also willing to go to your house as well. Want the animals to feel as safe and comfortable as possible.

About: I've grown up with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, and the occasional chicken :) I worked as a kennel technician at a veterinary clinic in high school and as a veterinary technician during my undergraduate degree so I have TONS of experience with dogs and cats, both at home and in medical environments. As a veterinary student, I absolutely love animals and want to provide the best care possible! As a vet student, I am mostly available on weekends but the occasional weekday. I am able to pet-sit, go on walks, and host animals at my house (mostly on weekends) I have an outdoor patio area for leash walks and potty breaks. As a veterinary student, I have experience working with all types of animals. I am observant and attentive to their various needs so they stay safe and comfortable!

“Annie was great! She took great care of Archie and kept in contact all the time. She sent pictures everyday and I felt so comfortable and safe while I was gone. I would love to book her again, thank you Annie!”

About: I have four dogs at home, a cat, and two tarantulas! Thus, i’ve had plenty of pet care-taking experience since I was a child! I take my dogs on walks, play with them, feed them, and offer cuddle time every day! I also have a cat, which goes the same for her too :) I can also take care of exotic pets, as I do so for my two tarantulas. I’m available to take care of your pets anytime besides Monday nights from 5:30-6:30pm. Otherwise, your convenience is my first priority. I can do overnight and even check on your pets in the early morning. My care is crafted around your time and needs. I prioritize safety, routine, and comfort in both my home and clients’ homes. I closely follow care instructions, maintain a clean environment, provide regular potty breaks, feeding, exercise, and ensure pets feel calm, secure, and well-supervised at all times. I can crate your dog as needed, play with them, let them out, etc.

About: I’ve had pets for over 40 yrs. That included Dogs, Cats, Rabbits, Guinea Pigs, Potbelly Pig. I’ve always been that person that will talk to every animal I see. I’ve had my own cat & dog for 23 years total. I have experience with behavioral issues & Medical. I recently lost my soul dog whom had lots of training for behavior quirks & also vitamins/meds for medical issues as well. Whether your companion is young or old, healthy or sick I guarantee I will take the best care of them. I have worked from home for years but am currently transitioning out of a career. Therefore I’m able to keep my availability very flexible & open. As a former Rover user, I know how hard it can be to find, trust, & like someone looking after your pet. Safety is #1, making sure directions are followed is key! I want them and you to be comfortable at all times.

“Carrie was absolutely wonderful! My dog is shy and she did well with making her feel comfortable. Carrie would send multiple pictures and gave her lots of love! She also realized we would be getting home late and she left a light on for my dog as well as us! How thoughtful!”

About: Hello everyone!, my name is Dominique and I have always had a dog in my life. My earliest memories consist of watching and helping my dog give birth and raise 10 puppies when I was 4 years old. Volunteering at the Austin Animal Center as a teenager was a natural step in my love for animals. I walked the small dogs outside for bathroom breaks and playtime while keeping puppies occupied when their crates were getting cleaned. I also walked the large dogs from their suites to the group play area and supervised multiple large dogs’ interactions. My friends have been trusting me to care for their animals and homes for 7 years now, and I have absolutely loved it! My experience ranges from small dogs to big dogs, puppies to seniors, and I have administered oral medication numerous times. The longest I have house sat was a week straight and the most animals I have cared for at a time is 4. I can’t wait to meet you and your babies❤️ I am currently working part time as a babysitter so I have a lot of availability for walks, feeds, hangouts, play, and cuddles! I am available seven days a week for feedings, walks, and daytime care starting at 10:30 am and into the night. For housesitting visits, I can come and stay at your house Friday night, Saturday night, and holidays for overnight care. First of all, I respect, follow, and complete all written or spoken directions on how to care for your pet and take care of your house. A typical sitting appointment for me is being there to provide food/water, frequent bathroom breaks, outside play, inside play (if given permission), a walk around the neighborhood (if requested), and a movie night with unlimited cuddles 🥰. I believe that it’s important to follow your pets’ cues so if they need extra attention, I am there to play or run around and if they need more space/alone time, I give them that time adjust. While we are having nap/down time, I will complete any household task asked of me which can consist of gathering the mail, putting out trash cans, watering the plants, etc. My favorite part of this experience is forming a bond with clients both human and dog so you can feel comfortable leaving your home in a trusted person’s hands!

“Isabella and her mom were wonderful in communicating and supporting us and Houston in a last minute bind. Loved having them walk our baby and would absolutely recommend.”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and am very comfortable caring for both dogs and cats. My mom was an obedience trainer, so I’ve picked up helpful skills with basic training and handling, especially with younger or energetic dogs. I’m reliable with house sitting, responsible, and treat every pet like my own. I’m comfortable adapting to different animals’ needs and always prioritize keeping them safe, calm, and well cared for. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide consistent care throughout the day. I can accommodate morning and evening check-ins, feeding, walks, and any other routines your pet needs. I’m able to plan my time around each booking to make sure your pet gets reliable and attentive care. I offer in-home pet care including check-ins, overnight stays, and house sitting for both dogs and cats. I focus on following each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible; feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, and plenty of attention based on their personality and needs. I also make sure your home is respected and kept clean and secure while you’re away. At this time, I do not offer boarding in my home since I currently live with multiple dogs and want to ensure a calm and comfortable environment for all animals involved.

About: Hi, I’m Ty! I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life and can’t imagine a day without them. From 15 to 18, I ran my own dog walking business before heading off to college — where I started fostering pups and helping them find their forever families. Whether it’s energetic playtime, relaxing walks, or just a reassuring presence while you’re away, I’m all about giving every dog the care and attention they deserve. I treat every dog like my own — with patience, consistency, and plenty of love. Your pet’s happiness and safety always come first! I am very flexible with my hours and can work with whatever people need me. Weekends are what usually work best but I also can meet serval times during the week to fit whatever needs are required. I treate every home as if it were my own. I leave it exactly how I found it and I never rush a situation until I know exactly how to handle it. I ensure that all safety measures are in place before entering and leaving a home as well as taking care of them outside of the home on walks.

About: I treat all animals like family, and I make sure your pet gets attention and love while you’re away! I also enjoy training dogs new skills and I’m experienced in potty training puppies! I’m currently working part-time, so i will be able to care for your fur-baby during the day. I am available during the week and weekends. For drop-ins and dog walking I will make sure your fur-baby is well taken care of and content! I also enjoy stimulating pets with outdoor activities and exercise!

“Once again, a positive encounter with Duncan. This was a trial walk with our challenging boy, Rufus who Duncan has done several drop-in and overnight visits in the past. Will be scheduling more walking sessions with Duncan. 👍🏼”

About: I've grown up with two Vizsla dogs, one was puppy, so I've developed to connect with dogs through difficult times. And often, my family and I would find lost and stray dogs which we managed them just fine so far. I have experiences that help my skills. I am no trainer or carer, however I am a dog lover who have been around dogs almost in my entire life. I am available anytime really as I am a college student who lives with my family and currently looking for a side job within flexible time slots. I like to play rough with dogs if they are in mood, and I like to be outside to give them a better company instead of inside watching over them with boring devices to scroll through or watch. I am very active when I am not in the house which I can be good at taking care inside, and I am clean person. I will clean up as if anything happens such as splashing or peeing. I am more likely to walk dogs which is my specialty.

About: I have experience in several different areas I worked in an emergency pet hospital, animal clinic, animal shelters and spay and neuter clinics. I also grew up with constant pets. I have experience as a veterinarian technician and kennel tech (3 years). I'm currently a stay at home mom to a homeschooler so my schedule is fairly open I can always move things around if needed as I don't have to stick to a certain schedule. I have a fenced area in my backyard so your fur baby can always have a safe space to use the bathroom. If I'm coming to your house to care for your fur baby just let me know what you need me to do and I'll make sure to take care of it. I will respect your home and belongings.

“We love Lacey! She is so communicative and sweet to Chief but she also makes sure he is a good listener and safe. And we’re grateful for that!”
