Dog Walking Hudson Bend

About: I grew up loving and living with animals my entire life! There hasn't been a time where I haven't lived with an animal of some sort. Dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, and even fish! Dogs, fish, and various sweet rodents have been my life until I was 24, then I met the two feline loves of my life-Carl and Dixon! All of my friends have either a cat or a dog (and often, multiples of each!) so I am consistently surrounded by fellow animal lovers and caregivers who have taught me everything I know. I have cared for and looked after friend's and family's dogs and cats from as young 6 weeks all the way up to 19 years old! I'm experienced with senior cats and dogs especially. I am a freelance opera singer who works from home remotely (and can work anywhere if needed) so I am able to drop-in, walk, or pet sit pretty much any time or any day of the week with ample notice. I will be caring for your pet in their own environment so they feel secure and relaxed and can keep calm while you're away. I will also follow your established routine for your pet such as feeding, walking, playtime, as well as light grooming and medicine administering if needed. If house sitting, I am willing and able to do things like watering plants, collecting mail, and other light household duties to keep you and your pet's home running as smooth as possible. This goes without saying but cleanliness and orderliness are a priority and I will leave your home as clean as I found it after each visit/homestay. I will happily provide detailed and frequent updates on your pets with photos and videos so you feel peace of mind while you are away. Open and clear communication is key to yours and your pets' well-being :) Not all pets are created equal and I am committed to providing personalized, attentive, and professional care ensures your sweet babies are happy, healthy, and well-cared under my watch.

I love animals and know that they need our love and care just as much as we need them!! Im currently a part time esthetician so i have plenty of daily time between clients!

“Stacey was excellent, timely in coming over to look after Penny and in providing me with updates and photos. Was flexible and went above and beyond taking care of her. And a really cool person on top of that! Would definitely recommend her.”

“Tatom was great! I will definitely use her again!”

About: UT alum who recently moved back to Austin after spending a year in Washington state! I’ve had dogs since I was 9, so as soon as I graduated college and could finally get one of my own, I did. Hurricane Harvey had caused local shelters to overflow, and that’s when I adopted Winston. After 10 amazing years together, I unfortunately had to say goodbye. I’m definitely missing having a dog of my own around, so I’d love the distraction (and extra dog time!) of caring for yours. My boyfriend and I both work from home, and he has a 12-lb long-haired mini dachshund named Hanz. Like most small dogs, Hanz is fully convinced he’s about 75 lbs and runs the house accordingly. I’ve been around dogs of all sizes and personalities my whole life and would love to give your pup plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and love while you’re away! I work from home, so I am very flexible. I go to the gym daily, but overall I’m a homebody so I won’t be gone for long. Since my boyfriend and I both work from home, someone is almost always around to keep your pup company! I’m happy to stick as closely as possible to their normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, medications, crate time, and any other preferences you have. In our home, we have Hanz, a 12-lb mini dachshund, so I always make sure any introductions are done carefully and everyone is comfortable. I’m also happy to separate dogs when needed, especially during meals or when we’re out of the house.

About: Austinite-I have had many animals as my children were growing up. Now i miss the connection and have the time to meet and care for your animals. Wanting to grow my sitting experience I work monday thru friday but I have plenty of time to be with your animal in the morning and afternoon and anytime on the weekends. I take the utmost pride in connecting with animal, i like to give them affection and care that they need. I am very clean and responsible with these precious creatures.

“Jorden was brilliant! This was her first visit, and I will be booking her for many more housesits and dog walks! She has a lot of experience with dogs, and my dog was instantly comfortable and at ease with her. Thank you Jorden!”

About: Hi y’all! I’m a dog mom of 2 (Bleu, a silver lab and Bronco, a Welsh Terrier) and have always had a passion for animals. 😊 I am notorious for always saying hi to four-legged friends — whether we’re walking on the trail, sharing an outdoor patio or driving past each other on the road. I love getting to know all of the different personalities (our two boys couldn’t be more opposite!) and hope to do the same with your pups. 🐶 I’m a firm believer in smelling all the smells and getting a good workout in during walks. You can count on me for a fun, energizing, safe walk during the day. 🤍 I am currently offering morning and afternoon walks Monday-Friday in the Lakeway, Bee Cave and Spicewood area. ☀️ New to the Rover community but excited to create relationships with you and your pup! I will carry extra doggy bags, wipes and treats in my walking backpack should we need anything during our time outside. If needed, I will spend some time letting your pup get to know me before we head out for our walk so everyone feels comfortable! 😊

About: All throughout my childhood and teen years I have babysat cat, dogs, or any animal I could. I have two dogs and a cat, i’ve had one of my pups for 6 years and the other for 3 years and i’ve had my cat for 7 years. i can put 110% into what i do and ill love your pets like they’re my own! i can take care of your pets whenever! I have nothing to do during the day besides the weekends. I’m free from monday-friday to take the best care of your pets. In my home i feed my dogs 3 times a day i play with them all the time and if needed i will cut their nails or bathe them and same thing in a clients home with permission. i can walk them, give them treats, bathe them, clip their nails, brush them even.

“Meredith is wonderful with our girls! She’s always so caring and dependable, and has even helped us out on short notice. We completely trust her and know they’re in great hands with her!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life and I also learned how to care for them at a young age. I’m very patient with animals and I also learned how to train my own dogs. In the beginning, it was harder to potty train them but I learned a lot of patience with them. It’s important to give animals your attention especially when they’re learning to do something new. I am looking for other part time jobs but at this moment my main focus is with Rover. I’m available almost any day and time you might need me. I’m currently renting at a home and there is no fence but I can definitely take the fur babies out for walks frequently. It’s no problem having them inside and I’m very respectful when going to other people’s homes as well.

“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 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.

About: I have 8+ years of experience working with dogs. I have worked with different breeds with an understanding of their specific needs and have a keen sense of dog behaviors. I have a flexible schedule and accommodating to pet services on a routine basis, but also last-minute appointments or prolonged services. I will be ready and available to doing new services as well as repeated services. Boarding- I make all animals feel at home in my house, I will always be present if need be or not away for more then 2-3hrs. I will remain in contact with the pet parent and keep updates on their pet(s). I will take them out regularly for pee/poo breaks and exercise. I will feed them as directed and any other care that is needed such as medications, bathing, and topical or therapy treatments. Sitting- I enjoy meeting the animals in their own home, and do my best to always make sure the routines are set in place just as normal when the pet parent(s) are away. I will remain in contact with them and give any updates during the sitting. I will promise to take care of the home and be of service to the pet at all times when needed. Doggy daycare- For the daycare services, they are welcomed into my home. I will set up a routine with the daytime services that are requested by the pet parent(s). Drop Ins- I will do the amounted time that is required, and take excellent care of the pet(s). Do what is required and asked of me by the pet parent(s) for drop-in care. Walks- I will walk the pet(s) as needed and requested by the pet parent(s) and make sure they get the recommended time of walk, exercise needed, as well as monitoring the pet(s) abilities during the service; such as, weather conditions, duration of the walk, exhaustion of the pet(s), and if the pet is needing water when returning from walks.

About: If I could live on a farm with a billion different animals I would. I can assure you that no harm will come to your furbabies while they remain in my care. I’m a big pet person and I enjoy being a rover sitter very much. If your pets are able we can always go on a car ride, visit a park or just grab a pup cup/ice cream. I’m very responsible and passionate when it comes to being a pet sitter….you will receive plenty of pictures and videos so you can see how their day is going. Looking forward to meeting your family!! Thank you for your consideration. PLEASE FOLLOW MY DOGSITTING INSTAGRAM PAGE OR SHARE WITH OTHER DOG OWNERS. Ig: TAYLORFURBABIES I have an 4 yearold that likes dogs so sometimes he gets to join me when I pet sit or when they come to our home. He loves being apart of feeding and walking the pets…I love it! I currently do Rover full time. I provide a lot of attention and care as needed. If they have a schedule I stick to it and I just try to make the pet feel comfortable or at home.

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’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.

“Hunter is punctual. He made friends with Almond quickly. He took her on a good walk. He is willing to learn the skills Almond has learned from her trainer. He is helpful. I highly recommend Hunter.”

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.
