Dog Walkers in Hays, TX

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!

About: I give dogs a calm & predictable experience. I adjust to different personalities and energy levels, whether that’s a relaxed senior dog or a more playful, active pup. I can help with walks, drop-ins, daycare, and boarding, and I’m flexible when my schedule allows (including last-minute requests!). I’ll follow your instructions closely and keep each dog’s routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable :) **Note: potty-trained is a requirement for care in my home - thanks! My schedule is flexible, so I can help with walks and drop-ins during the week, as well as daycare and boarding. I follow your dog’s routine, whether it’s a quick visit/walk or a longer stay at my house. Aside from the occasional errand or outing, I'm home most of the day (weekdays and weekends) and spend a lot of time with the dogs in my care. My dog, Emory, is very easygoing and gets along well with both calm and playful dogs. Dogs have access to a fenced yard and doggie door, and I'm available to provide potty breaks as often as needed for dogs who can't use it. They're also welcome to get on the furniture! For walks and drop-ins, I treat your home with the same respect I would my own and make sure everything is secure when I leave. I provide regular updates and follow your dog's routine and any specific instructions to help you and your dogs feel comfortable while you're away.

“Riley is the best and my pup Sage loves her walks with him. It’s so nice to come home to a happy and calm dog. I have no doubt that she is always taken such good care of by Riley. He’s gone above by bringing in packages on my doorstep, picking up her dog toys, etc. I love getting to see all the pictures and updates of my fur baby while I’m at work.”

About: Hi I’m Sarah! Dog mama to Maci (Siberian Husky) and Koa (an Australian Shepherd). When I’m not spending time with my family, you can find me hiking, kayaking, or in a training class with my young pup, Koa. There has never been a time in my life that I haven’t had a pet to care for - from dogs to cats to bunnies. As a pet owner who has had to travel from time to time without my animals, I know how hard it can be to leave your beloved fur baby behind for a trip or even just a long day of work. I am passionate about bringing you and your pet peace and comfort during the occasional times apart. I have experience with all ages of dogs from 8 weeks old to seniors and am happy to be available for drop in visits (whether routine or on occasion) as well as walks. My goal as a pet sitter is to bring peace of mind to you, and lots of pets and playtime to your fur babies. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends soon! I am currently working part time from my home in southwest Austin, making my days open and flexible. With notice I am able to provide care any day of the week. My pets are a part of our family so we spend a lot of time snuggling inside. That said, they’re full of energy so I am no stranger to a good game of fetch in the yard or a long walk. I am comfortable feeding, crating, walking, and playing with your pet as well as giving them lots of affection.

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 grew up with dogs, and always had a love for dogs. I don’t have dogs currently at home because I believe in helping others with their dogs and I’m trying to figure out what kind of dog I will adopt later on. I currently am self-employed so my schedule is flexible. Usually have errands but it takes less than a few hours. I make sure dogs are first priority though. My house is spacious- no dangerous edges for dogs to run into. I also have a fenced yard where dogs can roam. I also believe in keeping my house clutterfree so dogs cannot get into things. Take them on walks if required as well.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, from 6lb lap dogs to 130lb gentle giants, so I’m completely comfortable with any size or breed. I know that big dogs and small dogs have very different needs, and I adjust my care accordingly. Friends and family have always trusted me with their pets because they know their dogs are in good hands. I make sure all fur babies are well-fed, exercised, and genuinely loved while their parents are away. I work a flexible schedule, so pets in my care always have someone around. I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays. Dogs won’t be left alone for long stretches. Walks, playtime, and attention are built into every day! I treat every pet like they’re my own. I keep my space clean, secure, and pet-friendly. I’ll follow your routines, feeding schedules, crate preferences, medications, whatever your dog needs to feel comfortable in my home or yours. I stay in regular contact with updates and photos so you always know how your pup is doing!

About: I have years of experience providing love and attentive care for dogs, cats, & birds! I handle walks, playtime, exercise, treats, and enrichment activities, while also administering medications and accommodating each pet’s unique needs and personality. Whether it’s daycare, overnight stays, drop-ins, or regular visits, my goal is to ensure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine and I can accommodate flexible schedules, including drop-ins, daycare, and overnight stays, ensuring each pet gets consistent attention, care, and love. In my home: pets have access to a safe, fenced-in yard for play and exercise, as well as a designated indoor play area. I live with a friendly 1-year-and-7-month-old English Springer Spaniel who loves socializing, and two cat companions who are dog-friendly and mostly independent. I ensure all pets feel comfortable, respected, and included at their own pace, providing plenty of playtime, attention, treats, and care tailored to their needs. When caring for pets in their own home: I follow the routine and rules set by the owner to provide consistency and comfort. I handle feeding, playtime, walks, litter box maintenance, medication administration, and companionship, making sure each pet feels safe, happy, and loved while their family is away.

“5 stars isn’t enough! Emma went above and beyond caring for our senior dog and two cats while we were away. She sent detailed updates after each visit with lots of photos, gave all of our pets so much love and attention, and treated them like they were her own. She took extra time with our dog at the dog park, played with our cats, and kept us informed throughout the trip. It was such a relief knowing our pets were in such caring hands. Her communication was outstanding, and it was obvious how much she genuinely enjoyed spending time with them. We came home to happy, relaxed pets and a home that was clearly well cared for while we were away. Truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We would book her again in a heartbeat! ❤️”

About: I have years of experience caring for all types of dogs and truly love every moment of it. From playful pups to senior dogs, I’ve welcomed many into my home and treated them like family. I am currently working from home and I will be home with your pets almost all day! I have a fenced in yard, and love going on evening walks! Make sure they are played with, well fed, and sleep either in a dog bed/crate/or on the end of the bed if that’s what you prefer!

About: My wife and I have been pet sitting for 8 years, and are looking forward to meeting new furry friends. We have 1 dog and our 2 kids that have grown up with tons of guest dogs and love to play with them. We allow dogs on our furniture and treat them like family. We have experience administering medications and have hosted several dogs young and old. One of us is home every day so the dogs get lots of attention and outside time. We are very flexible with drop-off and pickup times. We offer in-home dog boarding in our home in South Austin. We have a nice sized yard with 6ft fences around. Our 2 kids who have grown up with dogs are very sweet with them and love to cuddle and play. The dogs are allowed on the furniture and can sleep wherever they are comfortable. We always separate the dogs during feeding time.
