Dog Walking in East Congress, Austin

“Dan took care of our pup over ACL weekend and was great. He’s super communicative and did great with our when he was a little nervous. Definitely would recommend!”

About: Howdy, I’m J (they/them)🤠 I'm an ex-educator that has pivoted from working with teenagers to the world of animals! Some would say they're one and the same, and I would partially agree haha. Currently I work at a dog park/bar in far South Austin (which I could DEFINITELY bring your doggos to if they meet our rules and you’re comfortable), and before that I worked for an Austin-based pet sitting company. Aside from hanging out with my two critters at the house, Boomer, a pit-bull/dachshund mix, and Remi, a Russian Blue kitty, I can be found almost every day making canine buddies at work. I will be extremely communicative about my schedule, so we can work out a time that best fits everyone! I care for all animals with incredible attention to detail, unconditional love, and a heart full of compassion, just as they give to us humans.

“Jaimee made my first rover experience so amazing! She was so nice and flexible! Always on time and kept me update if there was any issue on the app! I can’t wait to book with her again! And not to mention Puddin loved her too!”

“Colleen was great with our two doggos! She was consistent and reliable. It was great knowing our dogs were getting exercise when we couldn’t run home on lunch! Even on rainy days she would still let them out and give them indoor play time!”

“Ashley was fantastic with our pup! She was courteous, attentive, punctual, and our dog absolutely loved her. Ashley did a wonderful job and we won’t hesitate to book her again.”

“Very happy with the service that Cortney provided. She was attentive to my dog Kira. She provided a description of her visit and pictures. I would happily book with her again.”

“Summer did so well with our girl Sybbie who is very cautious of strangers. I will definitely be requesting her for our next trip away. I loved getting the daily pictures of our sweet girl. -Eva Smith”

“I couldn't be happier to recommend Natalie as a dog sitter! First and foremost, she loves animals and treats those in her care as if they were her own. With Natalie, your dog is getting so much more than just a feed-and-walk routine a couple times a day. Natalie always makes sure our dog has plenty of play and petting time, which I appreciate because she's got a lot of energy to spare! Also, thankfully, she is willing to indulge me with a picture or update if I ask. It's such a joy to see how much our dog loves hanging out with Natalie, too. Having her watch my dog is truly a no-brainer!”

“Enola is an amazing dog mom. We used to go out to dog-friendly patios, and she was always attentive to her dog's needs. She always carried bottled water just for her pup and always made sure to check surroundings so that he would feel comfortable. I don't think I've ever been with someone who was more thoughtful of her dog's needs. There are few folks I'd trust with my own fur baby, but she is at the top of that list.”

“Erin was great! It was a short notice request and she was able to help us out :) super communicative and very helpful! Will definitely try to book her again.”

“Matt is a full blown dog person and an excellent/knowledgeable dog sitter!. I have been boarding my dog with Matt for the past year and everything has exceeded expectations. Matt is patient and kind and loves dogs. He taught my rather vacuous (but extra-ordinary in every other way :) big ol' dog to use a doggie door. This was no small feat! Cant recommend Matt enough.”

“Christine is great! We needed her help for a friend of ours that had foot surgery. She was so flexible & reliable with my friend & her dog! Highly recommend!”

About: I am new to Rover but I have over 20 years of experience with both cats and dogs. I'm versed with shelter animals, as I spent 3 years volunteering at one in Florida. I have experience with both puppies (training) and giving a bit of extra love to our senior dogs (patience). I absolute adore dogs and have owned at least one for the most part of my life. I've also owned several cats (none currently). This aint my first rodeo, as I am an avid lover and care taker of both cats and dogs - all are welcome in my house. I am recently unemployed, so I have plenty of free time. I love being active outside, so you can usually find me on the trail or throwing the ball around in my back yard. I take my doggie (Coleslaw) with me everywhere - even the gym! I am here for your pet needs - I have lots of flexibility. I have 3/4 fenced yard but will make sure they are on long 12 foot leashes to roam freely. Pets are free to roam the house, laze around the several doggies beds or play time outside.

“Takes great care of our special needs pups on their walks!”

“As someone who deeply values the well-being of animals, I wholeheartedly recommend Ben as a pet sitter on Rover. Ben possesses a natural affinity for animals that is truly remarkable. His patience, kindness, and genuine love for pets shines through in every interaction. Whether it's providing regular walks, engaging playtime, or simply offering comforting companionship, Ben goes above and beyond to ensure that every furry friend under their care feels safe, happy, and loved. What sets Ben apart is their unwavering dedication to the individual needs of each pet. He takes the time to understand their unique personalities, preferences, and quirks, allowing for tailored care that fosters trust and a strong bond. With Ben, pet owners can rest assured knowing that their beloved companions are in the best hands possible. In addition to his exceptional caregiving abilities, Ben is also highly responsible, reliable, and communicative.”

“Kirby was amazing! She was communicative and made us feel like our doggie was in trustworthy hands. I will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Alison is a dream! I was in a pinch and reached out the night before & she was so accommodating and helpful! Shuggie instantly loved her and came back from the walk exhausted!”

“Shanna is amazing! She is extremely professional and great with communication! We are very anxious dog parents and Shanna was amazing through the entire process. She was able to accommodate a meet and greet with our dog as he can be intimidating when strangers come to the door (big guard dog energy). I could tell our pup Tommy got a ton of exercise and her cards make me feel at ease knowing our dog was able to get out of the house and enjoy a nice long walk! I highly recommend and will absolutely be using Shanna for future dog walks!”

“Connor’s attention to detail and care for animals is unparalleled. A perfect balance of nurturing love and guiding discipline. Your furry friends are in good hands with this caretaker”

“Gabriel is a great dog sitter he is very caring with dogs. He took care of my puppy and did not have any issues he is great! Will definitely hire him again!”
