Dog Walking Franklin Park

About: I have worked in the pet industry for 16+ years. I have worked as a tech assistant, kennel worker, dog walker and caretaker in 2 veterinary practices. I have owned an operated a small dog grooming business. I have boarded many of my clients dogs in my residence. I am reliable, trustworthy, kind, compassionate and funny. I have a little Yorkie that is truly my heart! I adore him and could not imagine life without him. I LOVE dogs! I always treat any dog that is in my care as if they were my own. They are a part of the family and I can assure you that this is how they will be treated in my care. I consider it an honor to be able to take care of doggies.

About: My name is Becky and I moved to Austin in 2018 from Miami. I grew up with indoor/outdoor cats and smaller dogs. I work a 8-4 Monday-Friday job but am available after 4:30pm anywhere in Austin and during the week and midday for South Austin visits/walks. I currently the proud parent of an orange tabby and regularly dog and cat sit. I love a chance to meet a new buddy. I am a quick drive to anywhere in Central Austin and work down south for an after work or lunch hour walk. Always looking for an excuse to go for a walk and I would love to show your fur baby around. Message me to see if I can care for your pet while away! - Becky I have a cat and regularly feed and clean litter box and exercise him. I love when I’m watching a dog to go out on a quick and then longer walk in the day. I like to give the animal the first time I meet them some space and let them approach me. I always want to make sure the animal knows I’m here as well for their socialization

About: I’ve had dogs since I was a child and currently have three in my home! Dogs are family to me and treating them like so if my number one priority! I work either mornings or nights, usually going in at 10 am or 5 pm. This means walks are usually in the morning or in the early evening. We are early risers so our days usually start at 7 am unless it’s a day off them the pups and I sleep in a little. Dinner is usually at 4 to give them a chance to potty before I go into work. We have a fenced in yard with a doggie door so when we are home in the day time they are free to roam and go potty as they please. Our cat is extremely friendly with dogs but we have one bedroom gated off as a sanctuary for her. Her litter box is also in a separate closet with an even smaller cat door so only she can access it. I live with a roommate who also has lots of experience with dogs so and although I will be the one taking full care of your baby you can trust that this is a safe place for them.

“Gil Roy is an amazing dog walker! Very communicative and positive. He’s great with dogs, and you can tell he really cares. Highly recommend!! : )”

About: I have had dogs and cats all my life (also fish, hamsters, mice, and a hedgehog). From puppies and kittens to elderly chihuahuas and grouchy senior cats, I have handled it all. I routinely care for pets for my friends and family and am happy to care for your babies too. I'm recently retired so I have a lot of time on my hands! I'm happy to administer medication or cater to your pet in whatever ways they need. I recently retired from my full-time job and will be mostly at home doing a little contract work here and there. I already care for my own five pets (or six if you count the fish) and can easily add yours to the mix. I will listen to what your pet needs and accommodate whatever it is they need/want. I am used to dealing with a diverse group of pets and providing each of them with what they need.

About: Heeyyy! I’m Nicci, a life long Austinite, I’m a Mom to two minions, two cats, and a dog. I’m an artist who enjoys going on long walks (hopefully with your dog…🤞) I’m really flexible schedule wise. I don’t mind administering medication if needed. I’m good with all stages of life - puppy/kitties to seniors and anyone in between. I would be happy to help you out with whatever companion care needs you may have. I’m a single mom working the hustle job life. So in some ways I’m a stay at home mom and in other ways I’m a never stop working kind of mom with the privilege of working around the clock when it works best for me. This means I’m home during the weekdays for a great majority of the day, weekends I work more during the days but nothing crazy and I’m home every night of the week. I walk my kids to school every morning and then I continue with a lengthy walk for myself. Your dog would love it! My apartments have a very large fenced in dog park and multiple designated dog potty areas. I’m a leashed walker unless in a fenced in area where they can run and play.

“Jacob was great with Hank! Stepped in last minute and did a wonderful job. Great communication and very easy going. Will definitely use again and highly recommend”

About: I started pet sitting when I was 18 to earn some extra money in college, and I’ve been doing it ever since. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and sizes, and I’m great at following special instructions. Additionally, photography is a hobby of mine, so there’s a pretty good chance that you’ll get some good pics of your pet in the process. I’m currently in graduate school, so I have a good amount of flexibility in my schedule, whether it’s during the week or over the weekend. I know how important your pet is as a member of your family! I’m happy to meet their needs, whether it’s walking, playing, belly-rubbing, or comforting them.

“Amie is amazing! She saved the day when I needed a last-minute, late-night walker for my pup. She was super patient as I struggled to figure out my remote security system too! And she showed my pup a lot of love. Choose her!!!!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was little, always willing to take in animals no matter the species. Dogs, cats etc. every animal as always had a home even if was for a short period. I am currently a college student, staying in Austin only for the summer I leave in August on the 19th , while doing this a as side gig I typically have 3 days off every week and I can work after I get of work. I work at a Panda Express near Leander. I do well to take care of animals, long walks and trips to parks. Animals cannot stay with me as I stay with my father and we take of stray cats :)

“Andrew was great and my pup was so calm and relaxed after her walk. Andrew also went above and beyond by refilling her water bowl. Will definitely rebook.”

“I was incredibly nervous about leaving my two dogs in the care of someone else, as one of them has lots of anxiety issues and can be reactive with people and other dogs. But Dale did incredible and had no issues. He was super patient with my reactive dog and was super mindful about all my concerns. I was so so anxious and left a whole essay of information/instructions he needed to know and he made sure to keep all of that in mind. I will definitely keep him in mind for future sitter needs.”

About: I’ve personally taken care of dogs and cats for over the last 15 years and currently have my own pup! I have never met a dog I didn’t immediately love and my partner calls me a dog whisperer because of how great I can bond with them. I currently work full time at Dirty Dog - Grooming and Boarding so my schedule is very fluid and I’m often available during the day on weekdays as well as weekends. My partner also works from home so there is always an extra set of helping hands when needed! In my time off, I enjoy reading, paddle boarding on the lake, practicing yoga, and a new hobby of mine - rock painting! I would love to add taking care of other people’s fur babies to my list of activities (: In my own home, my dog and dogs I’m sitting will get frequent walks and visits to the local dog park. We also have plenty of space and toys for animals to enjoy themselves inside my home. In terms of trust, I will always follow a pets lead when it comes to how they’re feeling and what their needs are. Making sure an animal feels comfortable and safe will always be top priority.

About: Growing up with pets my whole life, I understand the responsibility their care takes, and how important it is for pet owners to trust their pet care taker. I previously had a dog walker for my German Shepard, who always joked he was honored to be our boy's 3rd favorite person (after my mom and I). It always warmed my heart to know he was in such good and caring hands. It has inspired me to bring that same level of trust and love to you and your fur baby. I can't wait to become their 2nd or 3rd favorite person! I work remotely and love physical activity. One of my main drivers of becoming a dog walker and pet care taker is to bring some furry joy and movement into my boring work days while also being able to give owners piece of mind that they have someone reliable and trustworthy to help care for their furry family members. Pet care within a client's home requires immense trust and understanding. It is my duty to ensure I understand the boundaries between me being in your house and your pet's space along with expectations for pet care.

About: I may be new to professional pet care, but I truly enjoy spending time with animals. Over the past year, I have helped care for family members' pets by walking them, feeding them, giving them attention, and making sure they felt safe and comfortable. I understand that every pet has a different personality, and I always try to be patient, gentle, and attentive to their needs. I am responsible, dependable, and committed to following your care instructions carefully so your pet receives the best possible care. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care. I have availability on many weekdays as well as weekends, and I will do my best to accommodate your schedule. I enjoy being active, so taking dogs on walks fits naturally into my routine. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding walking routes, feeding, medications if needed, and any special preferences. During walks, I pay close attention to my surroundings and make sure pets stay safe and secure at all times. I believe in treating every pet with kindness, patience, and respect, just as if they were my own.

About: I have been around dogs my whole life and have a natural affinity for dogs. I I have two perfect pups, a chihuahua mix named Stevie that I call my familiar and a goofy cattle dog named Bowie. She has a blue eye and a brown eye and a heart of gold. They are a happy pack of sweethearts that love new furry friends. I am a very responsible person and when given the task of caring for another's loved one I take it very seriously. I think that dogs and owners will feel very comfortable and safe with me because of my experience and love for our canine counterparts. I also understand how hard it is to be away from our pets, so I’ll be in communication, keeping you updated with information, photos, and general updates of how your dog is doing in my care. I live close to Onion Creek Greenbelt and if your dogs stay with me and are happy on hikes it’s a daily outing for me and my pups. Happy to walk them on leash around my neighborhood and my dogs enjoy playing but are also happy to chill with their dog friends. I work on my own schedule and it’s very flexible at the moment. I spend time with my dogs outdoors everyday and am good at communicating my schedule changes. My dogs are friendly with dogs, cats, people, and kids. When dogs stay in my home I make sure that none of them are left with other dogs unsupervised even if all are friendly. My dogs are crate trained and that’s easy for me to accommodate for visiting dogs as well. When caring in your home I will follow the rules of the houses.

About: I’ve taken care of high energy puppies that love to run around as well as low energy dogs that love to play ball on repeat. I’ve raised puppies and have 3 of my own. Whether is a nice long walk or an hour game of fetch and running around I got you covered. On Tuesday-Thursday I am available from 6am - 12pm. On Friday-Saturday I am available all day. On Sundays I am available from 6am - 2pm. Food and water bowl are constantly available and filled but can be adjusted for scheduled feeding. Access to outside and indoor playtime is no problem.

“Sophie is wonderful. When it comes to taking care of Jacque she is very thoughtful and intentional about her care. Bonus is Jacque was quick to warm up to her.”

“Ashley has been in our lives, caring for my dog and cat (and me), for over a YEAR now! She is a gem and a loving Dog Mama herself. I appreciate that she understands my sweet, but often reactive, pup and has worked to boost her confidence on walks. She is enthusiastic, dependable, and flexible, even when the unforeseen Ice Storm kept changing the schedule. Basically, she just feels like a friend at this point - someone I implicitly trust! Our fam is very grateful.”

“Eliza was amazing with our dog! She was very positive, friendly and great communication. We would definitely book with her again!”
