Dog Walking Garrison Park

About: As a dog and cat owner, I have hands-on experience with feeding, walks, playtime and litter-box care. I understand how worrying it can be to leave your pets while you’re away. During drop-in visits, I’ll follow their usual routine, refresh food and water, help with potty breaks, and make time for play or quiet company, whatever suits their age and personality. I’ll also send plenty of photos for your peace of mind. I’m a new mom with a one-year-old Corgi and an eight-year-old cat, so pet care is already part of my daily routine. I’d love to fit a few drop-in visits into my week around my family’s schedule, filling a little of my day with extra cuddles, playtime and company for your pets! I’ll follow your care instructions closely and let your pets get comfortable with me at their own pace. I’ll treat your animals (and your home) with respect and send photos and updates so you know how your pets are doing.

About: I'm a local Austinite who grew up always having a dog in the house and currently have three dogs who spend their days hiking through the greenbelt and exploring the great outdoors. I've had extensive experience dogsitting with dogs of all shapes and sizes and have no problem with multiple, long walks each day to make sure the dog is getting the appropriate amount of exercise. I have also volunteered many hours for Austin Pets Alive and fully support their mission to help the struggling animals in our city. Whether you have a big dog who needs to be tuckered out while you're away at work or a little pup who just needs to be let out and given some quality attention, I'd be happy to help!

“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!!”

“Great dog walker. Always reliable and shows up when needed. They’ve been walking Sharon since she was a baby puppy, so they’ve been part of her routine for a long time now. Consistent 30-minute walks and solid communication with regular updates. Really trustworthy and a huge help overall. Would definitely recommend.”

“Ollie absolutely loves his walks with Madison; he gets so excited when she arrives. Madison is reliable, communicative, and clearly a true dog person. Ollie has some leash reactivity challenges, and I really appreciate the care and attention she takes to keep him engaged, set him up for success, and avoid situations that might trigger a reaction. It’s obvious that she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with and tailors her approach to their individual needs. Don’t overthink it; book a walk with Madison! 🐾”

“Ashley was fantastic. She’s chill, punctual, a good communicator, and I could tell from the pics she took that our pup really liked her. 10/10”

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

“Kira was super sweet with my Bo Baby. He was so happy to have a mid day walk while I was at work. Will book again when I have another busy day :)”

About: I've been caring for dogs for over 8 years and understand that every dog has their own unique personality, needs, and routine. As a dog owner myself, I currently have a 7-year-old Pit Bull mix and a 10-year-old Shepherd/Lab mix, so I have firsthand experience caring for dogs with different energy levels, temperaments, and care requirements. In addition to walking dogs for years, I've also cared for many dogs that weren't my own, giving me experience earning the trust of pets in new environments and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I'm incredibly detail-oriented because I know the little things matter—whether it's following feeding instructions exactly, giving medications, sticking to a familiar routine, or recognizing when a dog needs extra patience, playtime, or reassurance. My goal is always to provide the same level of care and attention that I'd want for my own dogs. Above all, I want every pet in my care to feel loved, happy, and well cared for. I'll make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and companionship so you can have peace of mind knowing they're in good hands. I'd be happy to help with your pet care needs! I work full-time from home, which gives me the flexibility to accommodate a variety of schedules and provide dependable care throughout the day. Whether you need a recurring dog walker, last-minute drop-in visit, or a unique schedule, I'll do my best to make it work. I'm available for dog walks and drop-in visits daily between 6:00 AM and 9:00 PM. I understand that every family has a different routine, so I'm happy to work with you to find times that best fit your schedule and your dog's needs. My goal is to provide reliable, stress-free care while making sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Every dog is different, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences to make sure they feel as comfortable as possible while you're away. For walks, I'm happy to bring one or both of my friendly, well-socialized dogs along if your pup enjoys canine companionship—but only if that's something you'd like. If your dog prefers one-on-one attention, I'm just as happy to keep our walks focused on them. Whether it's neighborhood sidewalks, local trails, or your dog's favorite walking route, I'll make sure they get exercise in an environment where they feel safe, comfortable, and have the most fun. For drop-in visits, I treat every client's home with the same care and respect that I would my own. I'm extremely detail-oriented and know how important it is to follow your instructions exactly as requested. From feeding schedules and medications to potty breaks, playtime, or any special routines, you can trust that I'll pay close attention to every detail without cutting corners. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your home is respected and your dog is receiving the loving, reliable care they deserve.

About: I have grown up always having a dog. I am very caring and attentive to a dog's needs. I enjoy being engaged and active with dogs. I love taking pictures and sending them to the dog owner. I also love helping people and making them feel comfortable and allowing them to trust me with their pet. I think the more information you can provide me about your pet - the better! I work from home and am able to give your pet all the attention they desire. If your dog is used to sleeping in a bed, I have no problem with your dog sleeping in my bed. I encourage you to bring their favorite toy or treats! In April 2020, I got a puppy of my own. His name is Charlie and he is a miniature golden doodle (30 lbs). He is friendly and loves other dogs. I work from home so I’ll be with your pup most of the day! I usually take my dog out in the morning for a walk and let him out in the afternoon and then after work for another walk. I have a backyard, live near a dog park and have lots of nearby areas to take walks! I keep things that could be unsafe out of reach. I have plenty of dog toys in my home.

“Gihan is the best. She was super sweet, and took great care of my pups. She also sent over a bunch of pictures which is always great. :) Definitely going to reach out to her again next time I need help with pups. Thanks again for all your help, Gihan!!”

About: Hello! My name is Megan, I’ve had pets my entire life and for the past three years, I have started caring for others pets in addition to my own. I have experience caring for dogs with special needs, of all different sizes and breeds, and I can't wait to meet your pet. I became a sitter because I love animals and having a hybrid (40% home/ 60% office) job allows me more time to hang out and give love to your pet! No matter if you have an active or more laid-back friend, we are the host for you! If allowed, we can make trips to parks (on and off-leash). Our favourite place is “The Watering Bowl”, and walking the neighborhoood. I understand that Summers have higher temperatures, which is why I like to take the longest walks before the sun comes up. If your dog is less active, we can bring our activity level to where your dog is most happy and comfortable. I was about 10 or 11 years old when my family brought our first dog home. He was a Boston Terrier named, Toby. He was full of energy and always made the room light up when entering it. Toby was a sweet boy we were able to spend a wonderful 12 years with. Not only did Toby teach me about the wonders of going on walks and giving belly rubs, but he also was a gateway into the world of dogs. Through the years I have had the privilege of always being around dogs and taking care of friend’s and family’s pets while away overnight or on a week-long vacation. I understand that your pet is your family, and I know how hard it can be to leave them even when you are off doing something fun. I am responsible, creative, and I have been described as an old soul. I love meeting new people, dogs, cats, and being a part of a thriving community. When your pet is with me, they'll get lots of one on one attention, and if they would enjoy it, they are welcome to join me at my house during the workday for company. I am a full-time employee with a hybrid position (60% home/ 40% office) and available 7 days a week to care for your pet. I usually wake up by 4am to start the day, give a quick potty break to the pups, and then we go for a long walk around 5:30/6am. Depending on the work day, I am either in the office 8:30am-2:30pm or 10:30am-4:30/5pm. For me, it’s their stay, their way so I can adjust my schedule accordingly. I live in a house within a nice yard. The neighborhood has a nice loop for short/ ling distance walking and a park close by off Congress. I also have a 4-year-old Boston terrier who loves to play, so there will be lots of running around and play time staying here with us! He is very social and loves to have company, friendly to other dogs, and shares toys.

About: Growing up with three dogs taught me not only how to love and care for them, but also how to confidently handle all kinds of situations. From puppy accidents to energetic zoomies, I've learned what our furry friends need to feel safe, happy, and loved. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and attention to detail. Above all, I truly have a big heart for every pet I meet and will care for yours as if they were my own. I recently moved to the amazing city of Austin and am excited to meet new people—and their furry friends! While I'm still searching for the right full-time opportunity, I figured this was the perfect way to stay active doing something I genuinely enjoy. Whether it's walks, playtime, or plenty of cuddles, I'm here to give your pets the love and attention they deserve. My schedule is very flexible, and I'd love to help care for your best friend! I currently live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment where your furry friend will receive plenty of love, attention, and supervision. My goal is to create a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment where your pet feels right at home. With several parks and walking trails nearby, they'll enjoy plenty of exercise, playtime, and outdoor adventures. I treat every pet like they're my own.

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: My wife and I own a beauty studio which allows us to have a pretty flexible schedule. We like to use our extra time to help out. I've always had a passion for dogs and love spending time with our mini Aussie Maui. Our dog is super friendly! He loves kids and other dogs and seems to always have a huge smile on his face. I love taking our pup on long walks on the Greenbelt and for swims around the hill country. I've been a dog owner for 30+ years and I am confident I'll provide a safe and positive experience for you and your dog! Fortunately my schedule is super flexible. I'm able to work whenever I like which makes working with animals extremely convenient. My wife and I have a dog of our own, but we're often fostering dogs or caring for dogs via Rover. Dogs are a huge passion of mine, and I'm incredibly thankful I can help out! We have a fenced backyard. We also have extra dog beds, food and water bowls, leashes, collars and harnesses as well as tons of toys and treats. We have baby gates and play pens. Large and small kennels. We have a baby pool for pups to play in during the summer in our backyard. We also have everything needed to bathe and groom pups if they get a little messy. Our cars have either doggy hammocks or a puppy chair. We have just about everything you can think of a dog might need.

“This was my first time using Rover and I appreciated Olivia keeping me updated and creating a great experience. She sent photos and let me know how the dogs were. I highly recommend her she’s extremely sweet. She’s my go to person now!”

“Very quick to respond and to show up on a last minute request. Was more the helpful despite my confusion and changes. Highly recommend!”

Jonathan G.

“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!”

About: I have fostered and cared for a variety of temperaments as well as accidents and ailments. My personality under pressure is imperative to calm pets. I am fully remote and working on European time zones. My husband works in office and I just love the company! My furbaby motivates me to go on walks during a break and other energy mixed in just creates a fun happy environment. It should be noted that when we have all had a big day, lounging in the sectional collectively to some good TV before sleep is crucial. Along with pupsicles-duh. I have a fenced-in yard that backs up to a protected piece of land. It is absolutely gorgeous and calm, not to mention for great fetch. A dog trail leads to a nearby park with all of the smells! I can accommodate the preferences and needs of any pet or owner's request.
