Dog Walking Hudson Bend

About: I take a truly customized, tailored approach to caring for each and every dog that joins our pack. I believe no two pups are alike! Each one comes with their own unique personality, energy level, history, preferences, and specific needs—and I’m deeply committed to honoring that individuality every single day. Whether your dog is a high-energy zoomer who thrives on constant play and group adventures, a gentle soul who prefers quiet one-on-one time and cozy naps, a senior needing extra joint support and softer bedding, a shy rescue building confidence step by step, or a little one who requires more frequent potty breaks and close supervision, I tailor their entire experience accordingly. Nothing is one-size-fits-all here. I lovingly adjust every pup's day to suit exactly what they need so they feel completely at ease, relaxed, and happy. Whether that means giving them a gentle introduction to playtime, offering a peaceful spot to unwind when they want some quiet, or simply letting them set the pace with their favorite activities, the focus is always on helping your pup thrive in their own comfortable way. I watch and listen closely to each one's signals and preferences, making small, kind adjustments so everyone around feels safe, included, and joyful. The result is a harmonious group where quirky, shy, energetic, or laid-back pups all get to enjoy their time together—playing when they're ready, resting when they need it, and heading home with that contented, tail-wagging glow. After years as a dedicated realtor with Compass in the Bay Area, I built a thriving side business in Marin County, CA, providing loving dog walking, daycare, and boarding services. I had the joy of caring for a wonderful pack of dogs, and it quickly became clear that this was my true calling—nothing brings me more happiness than seeing tails wag and pups thrive. When my husband and I decided to start a fresh chapter, we relocated to the beautiful Austin area and chose to focus fully on what I love most: exceptional doggy care. We recently settled on a spacious half-acre property in Hudson Bend (just northwest of Austin, near the stunning Lake Travis), and the dogs absolutely adore it here! I will treat your dog like my own! I have a fully fenced in lawn and back yard space where your pup can go potty, run, socialize and play.

“We were traveling in an RV Caravan with a long day in Austin. Merideth came and visited the day before and walked both our dogs as scheduled. Thank you Merideth.”

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I currently help take care of my roommate’s pit mix while she’s at work, making sure she gets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’ve also grown up with Labrador Retrievers my whole life, so being around energetic, loving dogs has always been second nature to me. I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, or just keeping pets company, I treat every dog like they’re part of the family. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I always aim to make both pets and owners feel comfortable, happy, and stress-free! I am currently free anytime Monday through Thursday to take care of any pets! Just let me know at least a few hours in advance and I will be more than happy to help! I have a dog park that I love to take my roommates dog to, and live in a very walkable neighborhood! I am also very respectful of my clients space and home. I would be happy to walk, feed, and play with pets according to schedule!

About: I’ve babysat and taken care of a blue heeler for the past few summers, but the kid is old enough now to take care of himself and his dog! I have a 10 yr old maltipoo who has a few medical conditions, so I’m great with giving medication along with food. I love to walk and try to walk at least 8 miles everyday, so I’d love to walk your dog! I currently don’t have a job, so I’m really available any time of the day. I’d be more than happy to stay for however long you’d like and play with them! Since my dog is little, I usually carry her outside just because of other animals that are sometimes out because she likes to chase them (foxes, deer, vultures). When I walk her, I’m very aware of cars passing by or other large dogs that might scare her.

“Carla is an amazing dog walker! She’s always on time and responsive. Our dog Ciara loves her morning walks with Carla, and comes back super tired every time. She also takes lovely pictures of Ciara for us to see”

About: I have owned and cared dogs since I was a child. That love for fur babies followed me into adulthood. Professionally, I have been a dog groomer for over ten (10) years in both a commercial and private setting. I not only love working with dogs, but am also a dog mom. I have two pups at home that include a rescue and an elderly doggo. My children and I regularly volunteer at local rescues. Currently, I work remotely from home during the day with flexibility to modify or structure my schedule as needed. I work with pet clients daily and do my best to be accommodating. Communication is key to ensuring safety and trust. All activities and routes are pre planned and shared with you prior to my arrival. Pictures of your baby are included for all services. If feeding, administering meds, grooming, etc. are added, time and details of each activity are documented for the parent to review. You should always know what is going on with your pet. I am certified in pet first aid and can recognize and provide first aid for the most emergencies your pet may experience.

About: I have 10 years of experience in dog care and three years with cats! I've looked after my own dog and have completed numerous sitting jobs for both cats and dogs. I love the individuality of each animal. My priority is to always ensure your pets feel loved and well cared for! I am currently on summer break from college, so I am mostly free to take care of your cute animals whenever you need my help! Whenever I come to look after your pets, I always ensure to respect your home and prioritise that your animals are safe and well cared for!

About: I have taken care of pets for neighbors, friends, and more for as long as I have been old enough to do so! I have cared for senior dogs, puppies, energetic dogs, lazy ones, and anything in between! Going on walks and checking in multiple times a day is not new to me, so you will be in good hands! I am currently working part time, with plenty of flexibility during the week to play with your pups! I am available most hours of the weekdays and can base my weekend schedule for any pet needs! I will always make sure your animal feels safe and comfortable with me when in your home and will follow any special needs based on each pup's needs!

About: Hi, I’m Paige. I’m 39 years old and a homeschooling mom of two (ages 11 and 9). My children may accompany me on visits, but I am solely responsible for all pet care and supervision. We currently have two cats, a hamster, and a dog named Ted. Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my daily life. My family also helps a local farm feed and care for their animals on a monthly basis — it’s something we genuinely look forward to and enjoy being part of. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust when you’re away. Whether it’s a drop-in visit, a walk, or extra attention while you’re gone, I treat every pet with the same care and thoughtfulness I give my own. I grew up in the country surrounded by animals. Over the years, I’ve helped care for cattle, horses, goats, buffalo, dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets, and even sugar gliders. Animals have always been part of my life, and their well-being has always been a priority. Puppies are welcome and will receive patient, attentive, and loving care. Medication Experience I am comfortable administering oral medications, eye ointments, and injections. I have experience caring for a diabetic cat and understand the importance of consistency and attentiveness when managing medical needs. As a homeschool family, I have flexibility during the week to incorporate pet care into our routine while maintaining a structured schedule. Visits are planned thoughtfully to ensure reliable and consistent care. Advance notice is appreciated, as same-day requests are generally unavailable. Weekly Availability: • Monday – Not Available (Early morning emergencies only) • Tuesday – Not Available (Late evening emergencies only) • Wednesday – 11:00am–2:00pm • Thursday – 6:00am–9am • Friday – Available (please message to confirm availability) • Saturday – Available (please message to confirm availability) • Sunday – Available (please message to confirm availability) I will ask that we have a meet-and-greet prior to booking for all first time clients. This allows us to review your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, walking preferences, and any specific instructions to ensure consistent, reliable care. For safety and comfort, I’m unable to accept dogs with a bite history, aggressive tendencies, or dogs that are not comfortable around children. My goal is to provide a calm, attentive, and loving environment where pets feel secure and truly loved, and owners feel confident leaving them in my care.

About: I focus on creating a calm, low-stress environment where pets feel safe and understood. I pay close attention to each animal’s needs and routine, and I’m especially good with shy or low-energy pets who prefer a quieter presence. I’m not just here to check a box—I genuinely care about making sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I work full-time during the week, but when my schedule allows, I also offer care on weekdays. Weekends are when I’m most available, and I genuinely enjoy spending that time with animals. When caring for pets in their own home, I stick closely to their usual routine to keep things comfortable and familiar. I’m respectful of your space, keep things tidy, and make sure your pet feels safe, relaxed, and well-cared for. Whether it’s walks, feedings, meds, or just quiet company, I treat every home—and every pet—with the same care I’d want for my own.

“Amazing experience! He got my chunky monkey moving—nearly 3 miles, and my pup loved every minute of it. Exactly the kind of walk we needed & asked for. Thank you!”
