Dog Walking in Heritage Hills, Austin

About: Had a dog through childhood, and my own now in adulthood. The best company are our four legged friends! Come from a family of dog lovers/rescuers, always looking to make new, pawsitive friends 🐾 I am new to the area after uprooting a life on the east coast, so I have a pretty flexible schedule depending on your needs. I work certain months out of the year over seas, and I am currently on land with a flexible restaurant job part time. Looking create some side income while staying with family & caring for my own pup. I live in an apartment complex and have a small, hypo allergenic dog who is actually pretty low key but loves to walk! He is great with other dogs, should you want me to bring him when I do drop ins or walk with your pet for interaction. I bathe him and give him some general maintenance with a trimmer between grooms, give him daily medicine, and two meals a day, so I could do these tasks for your dog also. My complex is also very dog friendly with two large dog park areas to run and interact in as well, and there’s many safe paths around the surrounding neighborhoods.

“Linda is a pro! She has been walking our 50 lb pitbull mix for the past few weeks, and we are very happy with the service she provides thus far. First and foremost, she is reliable and consistent. If she says she can be there, she will be there. It's a relief to have a single person we can trust to care for our dog, after going through a few other Rover walkers who moved on to other job opportunities after a couple of weeks (understandable, but frustrating nonetheless). She is communicative, attentive to our dog's needs, and really makes the most out of each 30 minute walk. Our pup is always excited to see her car pull up and waits impatiently as she walks up the driveway! We are grateful to have found a trustworthy walker who is clearly a dog lover. We would definitely use her for sitter services if the need arises. She exhibits professionalism and passion for animals - who could ask for anything more!”

About: Hi! My name is Brandy. I have lived in Austin for 6 years and was a team member at Austin Pets Alive! animal shelter for over a year! I grew up loving and caring for animals from baby chickens to fish to dogs. 3 years ago, I adopted my soul dog, Lolo, an American Pitbull Terrier. Even with vigorous training from a young age, Lolo experiences anxiety and leash reactivity. Through years or trial and error with her and working with shelter animals, I have gained lots of experience handling high-energy reactive dogs, administering oral and injectable medications, interpreting dog body language and acting accordingly. I truly believe that the best way to create a strong, healthy relationship with pets is by understanding the needs they are communicating to us with their bodies. As I am in between professional positions, I have availability to look after your pets during the week and weekends. I strive to treat every pet I interact with the same way I treat my own. I can provide for your pets in any way that is required of me including feedings, walks, administering meds, or simply just existing together on the couch to decompress! I am available to take your baby on walks, play out in the yard, or simply just spend quality time on the couch! I will adhere to their daily schedule and perform normal tasks as needed.

“Addie was the best! She was great with communications and I loved the updates & photos. She was always on time and so gentle & patient with our older dog. Ruby loved her morning visits & walk!”

“Kiersten was patient with me when I had to change dates last minute. She did great with the dogs and will definitely book her again!”

About: I have a lot of pet experience. I'll look after and care for your pet as if it were my own. I have toys and treats for your pets to make them feel like at home. I am currently working from home, so I have a lot of time to play and interact. Frequent walks and behavior training techniques with toys and play exercises. I have a fenced playground for pets at my apartments. it's very clean and safe. I have toys and activities to keep your pet entrained for hours.

About: With a strong sense for dog body language and behavior, I naturally bond with dogs and know how to keep them engaged, playful, and calm. Whether it’s a high-energy pup or a senior companion, I tailor their care to suit their needs and give them a fulfilling, well-balanced day. My schedule allows me to maintain consistent routines for feeding, training, sleep, and potty breaks. I offer a variety of experiences from city parks to nature hikes, giving dogs exposure to a diverse range of settings. I also provide basic training support including crate, leash/off-leash, recall, sport-based games like fetch and frisbee, and even task-based and obedience exercises—skills I’ve developed through 10+ years of experience with dogs from puppyhood to senior stages. As a graduate student currently on summer break, my schedule is wide open—and I’ve intentionally structured my time to prioritize pet care. I’m available for care throughout the day, whether that means early-morning walks, mid-day play sessions, or overnight sitting. My flexibility allows me to tailor routines around your dog’s unique needs, whether they’re energetic and need lots of stimulation or prefer a slower, calmer pace. I spend much of my time outdoors, and I love incorporating dogs into that lifestyle—hiking scenic trails, visiting off-leash parks, or just taking long neighborhood walks. I believe dogs thrive when they experience new encounters, and I work those moments of enrichment into every week. I live in a spacious, first-floor apartment with direct access to a secure patio and a neighborhood dog park—just steps outside my door. This makes potty breaks, quick outdoor play/walks, and socialization seamless and stress-free. Every day, our neighborhood hosts friendly dog meetups with well-behaved pups, offering perfect opportunities for your dog to engage with others in a safe environment. Inside my home, dogs will find a clean, calm, and organized space with plenty of enrichment. I have a variety of toys, training tools, puzzles, and games to ensure your dog stays mentally and physically stimulated—the goal is for no boredom and anxiety. I also keep a full range of grooming and cleaning supplies on hand, so whether your dog needs a simple wipe-down or a post-adventure bath, I’ve got it covered. I am well-versed in training methods and behavior management, so if your pup has specific routines or commands, I likely already have the knowledge and equipment to maintain their structure. I’m happy to reinforce crate training, leash manners, or any custom instructions you provide to ensure consistency while you’re away. I also have a well-socialized golden retriever mix who’s incredibly calm, friendly, and trained to model great behavior for other dogs. If your dog enjoys companionship, mine makes an excellent playmate. If needed, I can crate or separate the dogs for one-on-one attention or downtime—your dog’s comfort and safety always come first.

“Karli is very personable and communicates excellently! I would always hire her”

About: I'm Daniel, a lifelong dog enthusiast. As someone who works from home as a business strategy consultant, I bring the same dedication and reliability to caring for your beloved pets. I have extensive experience with dogs of all ages and needs. Since I’m home all week, I can step out for walks or drop-ins as needed. I’m punctual, organized, and keep pets on their usual schedule without fail. I keep things simple, calm, and consistent. I follow instructions exactly, keep pets on their routine, and make sure they’re comfortable. I’ve got a Frenchie myself, so I know how to manage schedules and personalities.

“I can’t say enough nice things about Andie!!! She is truly a godsend. One of our dogs, Lady, is really nervous around new people, and Andie followed our tips to a T to make sure Lady warmed up to her. Surprisingly, many people disregard our instructions, but it was clear Andie really respected Lady’s boundaries. She is also an incredible communicator. She over communicates in the best possible way. She is happy to know every detail about your dog’s routine so that she can care for them like they’re her own. With other Rovers in the past, I’ve felt “extra” or bothersome with little details about my dogs but Andie genuinely appreciates all the details. She is extremely detail oriented and truly seems to be doing this work because she loves dogs and animals!! If you have the lucky opportunity to work with Andie, I can’t recommend her enough!!!”

“Jennine was wonderful! She was on time, provided cute updates and photos, and did a meet and greet ahead of time before we went on vacation. I highly recommend Jennine for any of your pet-sitting needs.”

Kristen G.

“Laura was amazing! She always sent me great updates and adorable pictures of my pups. They both adored her and I can’t wait to have her watch or walk my pups in the future!”

“Sherryann has been a great help walking our dogs during a family health crisis. She is responsive, professional, and efficient, communicates well, and is good with the pups. She has reliably gotten our stressed-out dogs some air and much-needed exercise even when one of them (and they are large) was feeling fussy and balky and extra shy. I highly recommend her.”

Jessica A.

“Yunting did a great job keeping me informed and caring for Buddy. I will look for her again and would definitely recommend her.”

About: Hi! I have recently started sitting again for children and pets, the most authentic beings in the world (and most times are one in the same. Pets can be your children). I enjoy working with and caring for animals - they have such great personalities and are so refreshing to interact with. I work FT but update my schedule often to show my availability. I have my own bundle of energy that I would be happy to bring to drop-ins if your dog needs some play time/socialization, depending on your preference and your dog’s general temperament with other dogs. I am currently working full-time as a registered nurse, so my schedule varies, but I am available a few days every week. Feel free to message about scheduling, I am always willing to try to work with you! My goal is follow your instructions. My priority is keeping your pet safe and comfortable in your home. Plenty of belly rubs, head scratches, and treats to go around!

About: I’ve been taking care of my dogs for my family since I was at least 5 years old. It was always my job to let them out, to walk them around the neighborhood with my mom, to feed them and give them water at the right times. Throughout those years, we’ve had multiple dogs, and I’ve dog sat for my parents, my sister, my friends and family members. Now, I have a dog of my own. She’s been mine for 8 years. She is my best friend and my rock. I know what it’s like to care for a dog. They aren’t just a pet, they’re family. They should be treated like so. :) I work freelance audio engineering and music production, so my availability is as flexible as it gets! I am even available late nights. I can always make time for any job I’m hired for. I love to ask the owner plenty of questions. I like to ask them what toys are which dogs (if they don’t share), which bowls are which dogs, what times to feed, how many times a day and what times to take them out. I ask how they react to other dogs while on walks, and If I should take extra precautions. If there is any pets who are on medications, I make sure to write down exactly what dosage, medication, what dog it belongs to, and what time to administer the medication. I am used to cleaning up after dogs, so I can provide cleanup of the backyard for any “droppings”

About: Hello! You are looking for a competent and reliable person to take care of your furry family member. I am passionate about animals, and I am dependable and capable of exceeding your expectations. I have decades of experience opening my home to special needs and hospice animals, and I can gently and skillfully assist your pet with his or her medical needs while you are away. I have experience with tube feeding, expressing bladders/bowels, administering injections and sub-q fluids and feeding supplements, and a myriad of other medical services. My personal history with pets includes a rainbow pup with epilepsy, two cats who fully recovered from FIP treatment, and a decade of taking care of neonate kittens who required multiple medical-type treatments. My friends and family say I was put on this earth to love animals, and they are 100% correct. Pets are my passion, and I would love to dote on your fur baby! **I am happy to discuss taking in unaltered dogs and dogs in heat, and non crate-trained dogs, but we will make this decision on a 1:1 basis. If your pet is friendly toward other animals, then he or she is welcome to the run of the house. We have cats and one very spoiled small dog in our home. I can make drop-ins within 10 miles of my home, and I am available to walk your pet if desired. In addition, I am also available for in-home stays during certain times of the year. Let me know what service you need and when you need it, and we can work out a plan to fit your unique situation. My home has a fenced-in yard for pups to play in, and I have multiple crates and playpens for use as needed. I also have certain additional supplies on-hand, just in case a need arises while you are away.
