Dog Walking Highland

“Callie was absolutely wonderful to work with! You can tell she really loves animals. She was communicative and friendly. I can’t wait to have her walk River again!”

“Michael is so good with our animals! He walked our dog, but also was super friendly with our 2 cats. He's super responsive, and is always sending cute pictures. I'd recommend Michael to anyone needing pet sitting or dog walking!”

Samantha H.

“Payton is very responsive, prompt, professional, and easy to communicate with. She sent me frequent text and photo updates, which helped me feel at ease while I was away. I had a very short-notice request, and Payton gladly took on the challenge. She had my dog Frimpy smiling real big - highly recommend :)”

“Juan was excellent with our dog, Tina. Communication was great throughout the entire experience. He kept us updated and sent pictures, which gave us peace of mind. It was clear that Tina was well cared for and comfortable with him. We truly appreciated his reliability and attention to detail. I would definitely recommend Juan to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”

“Sofia has been the best addition to my pup’s life! My husband I both just got new jobs and need to be in office more than we have before and just knowing I have someone I trust to come into my home and play, walk and love on my dog while I’m away gives such peace of mind. Her report cards are great at the end of the each walk/playtime!”

About: I have a wealth of experience in pet care, primarily dogs, from my own pets to volunteer and foster experience with Austin Pets Alive. For younger pups, training and repetition is absolutely key to making those teenagers thrive! I have always trained my own dogs and have worked with APA's certified trainers to build my knowledge and understanding of dog behavior to work with shelter and rescue dogs find the comfort in routine. I also have experience in senior dog and high medical needs dogs from both personal and volunteer experience. Meds, IVs, blood glucose checks, you name it and I have probably done it with a pet. My goal for your higher need dog is always ensuring they feel safe and comfortable, especially if that means taking 30+ minutes because they showed that they needed more time. I have handled dogs of all sizes and all kinds of behaviors so nothing is too big or small, too shy or excitable for me. I'm currently a college student who's simply looking to work on my own schedule that a typical job can't provide currently! Being able to walk or hang out with your pet while listening to my required readings or otherwise studying sounds like a perfect fit for me! As a pet parent, I fully understand how nerve wracking it can be to trust someone else with your pet. That's why transparency is my biggest priority, through text and photo check ins so you don't have my word for it but visual evidence of what we're doing. For daycare at my home, I have my own 7 month old puppy and plenty of nearby parks to walk around in that I would love to take both our pups on! For care at your home, whether you're in an apartment or have your own backyard, walks and sniffaris are an essential part of me caring for them! Its not just about the exercise but the mental enrichment as well!

About: I'm a caring sitter in the central Austin area and have a range of experience taking care of high-energy puppies and Chihuahuas, mellow senior dogs who require different medications, cats of all temperaments, as well as bunnies, guinea pigs, horses, and chickens. I know that animals all have highly individual needs, depending on breed, personality, age, and many other factors. I am a very loving and diligent caretaker and have so much fun walking and playing with animals, as well as tending to the houses where I stay. I'd love the chance to say hello to you and your furry friend and see if we're a good fit! :) I'm currently working part-time as a barista and have a very flexible schedule. I am always willing to work with my clients to make sure their pets receive the high-quality care they deserve. I make sure I know where pets are at all times and stay conscious of potential hazards such as pools, or open doors and gates. Your furry friends will always be safe and attended to.

“Francis is wonderful! He was agreeable to a meet-and-greet prior to starting services, took a genuine interest in finding out Beckett’s specific needs, and has always been punctual. I’ve been very impressed by his communication, ability to manage Beckett (who has a tendency to pull), and his patience and willingness to work on improving Beckett’s walking. Beckett can take a while to warm up to people, but he warmed up to Francis quickly and has been loving the walks! I’d highly recommend Francis to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, experienced dog walker!”

“My dog loves Hillary. She's prompt. Always in a good mood and my dog comes back ready for a nap. I always look for her name when booking on this app.”

Shuronda R.

“Yihung is incredible with our pup Winnie. He took the time to visit her and take her around the block to make sure everything went smoothly. He shared plenty of photos along the way. No doubt, we’ll be regulars of Yihung moving forward!!”

About: I’ve had dogs and animals my entire life and I always will. Forgive me if I neglect the human bond cause I’ll probably be too busy trying to get your pets attention! I thrive in running this business cause I make myself ready and available to get to know the ins and outs of each pet and their owners. It’s important for me to understand all personalities and habits so their stay with me is the most comfy experience since they will be missing their persons (you) for a little bit. I’ll do my absolute best job to ensure a trust from not only them but you, that will make your future stays unquestionable! I’m self employed and work from home. I have my own schedule so making time for others is second nature and a good habit I’ve developed. If I’m being honest. Wanting to be around animals all the time is my full time job! Extremely flexible and I manage a great routine to fit the day to the pet and not just fit the pet in. My home is open for pets to wonder free and at will, I have a huge fenced yard and I’m happy to crate if needed! My home is pet proof and I adjust to any needs and routine to help keep each pet on their own schedule for minimal disruption while pet parents are away!

About: Being a bilingual pet sitter allows me to connect easily with both pets and their owners. I have a natural ability to bond with animals, making them feel safe and comfortable while their humans are away. Each pet is unique, and I adapt to their needs—whether they crave playtime, affection, or quiet companionship. I carefully observe their behavior, ensuring they feel at ease. Beyond feeding and cleaning, I focus on trust and security. The best moments are when a once-shy pet finally warms up to me. Pet sitting isn’t just a job; it’s about creating meaningful connections with with your pets. 🐾💕 Being a musician gives me the flexibility to dedicate time to caring for pets. My schedule allows me to be available when pet owners need me most, whether it’s for daily visits, overnight stays, or last-minute care. This flexibility means I can adapt to each pet’s routine, ensuring they receive the attention, companionship, and care they need. Whether it’s taking a dog on a midday walk, spending quality time with a shy cat, or simply being there for feeding and playtime, I love being able to offer reliable care. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my life, and I cherish every moment of it. As someone with a flexible schedule, I provide pet care both in my home and in clients’ homes. Since I currently don’t have a pet, I can welcome pets into my home, where they have space to feel comfortable and enjoy my yard. This setup allows me to give them dedicated attention in a calm environment. At the same time, I understand that some pets feel safest in their familiar surroundings. My flexibility allows me to meet them in their own home, keeping their routine intact and ensuring they feel at ease. Whether in my home or theirs, I prioritize their comfort, care, and happiness.

“I seriously cannot say enough good things about Nizar! He has watched my dogs for me so many times and I genuinely never have to worry when they’re with him. I am VERY particular about who I trust with my dogs lol, so that says a lot. Even for something as simple as a dog walk, he goes above and beyond. He actually pays attention to them, gives them plenty of love, and treats them like they’re his own. My dogs LOVE him, which honestly says everything. He is reliable, communicative, and just genuinely amazing with animals. If you’re looking for someone you can actually trust with your pets, BOOK HIM!! I recommend him 1000% 🐶❤️”

Lauren B.

“Kaitlyn was amazing, we got really lucky finding someone like her to care for our boy!”

Monica C.

“This message is long overdue! Lauren has watched our pup Arlo several times when work and travel has made it tough to give him the time and walks he needs. She is absolutely wonderful and our dog adores her! I'm an anxious dog mom, and the idea of leaving him with anyone has been hard. With Lauren, though, I have such peace of mind when leaving our pup with her. Lauren really loves dogs and that love is reflected in her care. I love her updates and photos, which mean a lot when I'm at work and missing him :) Thanks again, Lauren!”

Erin S.

“Faith was amazing and easy to communicate with. She cleaned up a small accident which she def didn’t need to. Marley was happy as could be when I got home. Will def use Faith again.”

Ben B.

“Olivia was so sweet to Jackson. I had to leave town for an emergency at the same time his tummy was upset and she comforted him and even cleaned up the messes he left all over my apartment. I will absolutely book her again to walk my sweet boy.”

John H.

“Maggie loved her walk with Ryan. She also enjoyed getting some belly rubs to distract her from the heat. She looks forward to her next walk with him.”

Luis A.

“I felt so great about leaving my dog Sancho in Stephanie’s care for a week long trip. My dog immediately took a liking to her at the meet and greet. She went above and beyond with long walks in the heat and hand feeding my dog who has bad eating habits while I’m away. My dog also has special walking needs and she handled his reactivity amazingly!! I will definitely contact her again the next time I need to leave town. I’m so happy I found her rover page!!”

About: I've been dog sitting for friends and family for years and am ready to expand! I work remotely as a researcher for UT and have a flexible schedule. I'm very active and am happy to spend a lot of energy with your dog(s) (including running), but also have experience with older dogs who enjoy more relaxed activities. My car is pet friendly as well so if anything would require me to drive anywhere, it is something I am prepared to do. I hope all of this is useful and please don't hesitate to reach out. También habló Español si tu perro responda a comandos en Español, o si quieres hablar en Esapañol. I currently work remotely and am very flexible outside of Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Mornings are hard but anytime after 12 I am available to be with your pets! I have a small apartment in a building that has its own dog park. I would walk it as many miles as you’d ask and also visit dog parks if requested.
