Have taken on responsibilities such as walks, baths, grooming, playtime, and more. I currently have a very flexible schedule, so it will be likely for me to be able to accommodate everyone! I am available both weekends and weekdays, from earlier in the morning to later into the evening.

“Dan was friendly, reliable, and thorough! We booked him just a few days out and he still made the time to come by beforehand to meet the dogs. He was punctual with his visits and gave them nice, long walks. We definitely appreciate him and have already booked with him again!”
“I've got a senior dog with health issues who has been wearing the cone of shame. Jackson never gave up and continuously showed up to take care of my pup, make sure her needs were met until she adjusted just fine. Working odd hours is stressful, but knowing my pup is being taking care of with consistent care has helped me so much. Also, his communication is clear and he's very friendly!”
“Madeline was so prompt and thoughtful in her care for Cooper! The detailed walk recaps and photos mean so much to me when I’m stuck at work away from home. I will absolutely re-book.”
“Julia provided extra support with Chevy while I was out of town and my boyfriend had to work late! She was consistent and took great care of my pup. Will book her again!!”
About: Looking to care for your fur babies to fund my wedding in 2026! I am a dog mom of 4 dogs; Uzi (Pitbull), Dash (Corgi Mix), Blaize (Chihuahua), Nala (Shiba). I love all my puppers and would provide the same amount of love to your puppers. All of my dogs are friendly but if you are looking for me to board your dog, please let me know as I can stay at my friends house without my dogs. I work from home on Monday and Friday. I am in office from Tuesday to Thursday. My hours are very flexible which includes weekends. Message me for my availabilities! I am very attentive to dogs! I love to play with them if it’s outside playing fetch or inside playing with toys. I love to take my dogs on walks because it allows me to reach my daily step goals.

“Thank you so much to Aryanna, she writes such detailed reports and takes such great care of our dog, who - admittedly - is not easy to deal with. We appreciate you Aryanna and can only give our warmest recommendations to anyone looking for a dog walker or sitter!”
“Diana was absolutely fantastic. It’s super important to keep the routine as a busy mom, and she fully supported that by showing up on time every time. In addition, she brought such a positive vibe to our dog despite the extreme heat. I’m definitely grateful to have found Diana for our dog. I’ll highly recommend her and will definitely hire her again in the future.”
About: Hi! I’m Sheila! caring for them most I’ve grown up with family dogs and have been caring for them most of my life. I currently have two wonderful dogs, Steel and Venus. Both have larger than life personalities and very different needs. Steel has had several medical needs over the years, which has given me extensive hands on experience with administering medications, managing special diets, and providing extra comfort and attention during recovery. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, especially when they have medical or behavioral needs. Whether your pup needs playtime, snuggles, a walk, or specialized care, I’ll treat them like one of my own pups. I currently work part-time, overnight Friday and Saturday, and have open availability during the week. My days are super open and my day to day schedule is extremely flexible. In my home, I follow their regular routine as closely as possible. Whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medication, or quiet time. I have two friendly resident dogs, Steel and Venus, who are socialized and used to having other dogs around. I always do slow, supervised introductions to ensure everyone feels safe and gets along well When in someone else's home, I treat your home with respect and your pet with the same love and attention I give my own. I keep communication open with regular updates and photos, so you feel confident your pet is in good hands

“Anai is the best dog walker in the world! I am almost reluctant to leave such a rave review because I know once the word gets out, her schedule will be fully booked. Dependable, reliable, gentle, and kind, my dog absolutely loves her. I know yours will, too!”
About: I’ve grown up caring for all kinds of animals such as dogs and cats, and less common pets like chickens, geese, ducks, turkeys, and snakes! I work some Fridays from 8am to 1pm, but will be available for care after. The rest of the week is open for pet care! We have two cats at home that are friendly with other animals, along with a spacious backyard! But also willing to care for pets in their own homes!
“Taylor was wonderfully communicative, very accommodating to my little pups needs and open to bringing along her own pup for extra socialization on the walk. Will definitely book again!”
About: Hi, my name is Izzy! I am originally from Michigan, and became an Austin transplant about 6 months ago due to my job. I have always had animals in my life from a young age. I grew up with horses and spent most of my childhood working on a farm. I absolutely love all animals! I had dogs growing up, and adopted my cat, Stinky once I graduated college. I also just applied to be a volunteer at Austin Pets Alive. I have a hybrid work schedule, so I have some flexibility on weekdays, and am almost always available on weekends. I typically work from home on Tuesdays and Fridays. I live in an apartment complex, so would like to have jobs where I can go to the clients home. I would love to take your pets on walks or just give them attention and care!

I needed someone I could trust to walk my pup DS while I was at work, and Allison really came through last minute. She’s reliable, caring, and took great care of DS. The updates and photos she sent brighten my day. I’m so grateful to have found her through Wag! I’ll definitely be using her in the future and highly recommend her to other pet owners.
Jillian did a wonderful job with our pup. She took him for a walk, played fetch with him, and even did some tricks for treats with him. We are so grateful that she was available to take care of him and I would definitely recommend her. Bonus: she takes awesome pictures. Our pup looked like he was having a blast.
