Dog Walking in Jollyville

About: I’ve had dogs in my family ever since I was a little kid. I love them so much! Growing up I’ve always helped friends and family watch their animals for them. As an adult, I work in animal care as my career. I help provide medical care, run play groups, take fun walks, and spend quality time with these wonderful animals. My heart is dedicated to caring for these beautiful animals. To me, pets are family, and nothing is more important than family. I will provide the best care for them so you do not have to worry about your pets whether you’re at work or on vacation. I work for a local nonprofit in animal care, four days a week. My available days are Sundays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. I am available at any time and for as many visits or walks that are needed on those days. I’m here to help you! 😊 To me, you’re home is you and your pets safe place. I treat each pet and home with the utmost respect and care. I make sure to make a very soft vocalizing entrance so to not stress your dog(s) out when I enter. Whether you want me to take them out for a nice fun walk or simply just check in on them and let them out into a backyard, your dog(s) will never be left alone, not even for one second. Every minute from start to finish is quality time with them. I am also very comfortable providing medications. I also i’m not afraid to get my hands dirty and help clean up an accident that may have happened from a dog that is not housebroken yet. You just let me know what you need and I will go above and beyond providing it.

About: *now booking AUSTIN. Only a couple dates left in May, June, and August.* *Ask me about the ACL Drop-In Package! *Dog Training/Behavior package available off-platform, ask me for details* Ever since I was 12 years old, I have been relied on and trusted by friends, family and clients to take care of their dogs in their absence. This year, I turned my lifelong love for canines from dogsitting, dogwalking, dog owning, and dog therapy teamwork into full-blown Dog Training Certification. So, know that is also an offering. And I lightly whisper to any and all dogs I come in contact with. I am also a Certified Yoga and Meditation Teacher, so if calm is what you need, my calm leader energy is at your service. 🙏🏽 I used to own a half-husky named Zephyr who was the light of my world, and my Therapy Dog teammate. Unfortunately I had to let him go at 12.5 years in the summer of '25 as he became suddenly ill. We would walk and hike 2x a day. This directly correlated to why he looked so youthful and possessed such intelligence, because he was exercised. So even if I exercise your dog, I hope you also get to partake in this ritual for the physical and mental well-being of your baby. Not to mention for your bond! I establish my leadership calmly, and then I greet your dog. I like to take them outside for relief / exercise or a walk and upon our return, we top off water and food. If I am allowed, I like sitting with or playing with your dog, and massaging their big joints and paws, so they feel cared for. Then if time permits, I stay in the same room and do some of my own work so they can feel my presence for a good chunk of time before I depart/they are left alone again.

“🐾 Exceptional Dog Walker! Trustworthy, punctual, and absolutely adored by my pup. He goes above and beyond with genuine care and energy. Walks are never rushed, and updates come with happy photos and tails wagging. Couldn’t ask for a better companion for my dog’s daily adventures.”

About: I currently work for Chevy’s Pet Adventures as a dog walker and sitter. I understand that your doggies are your fur babies and deserve quality care and attention. Fun walks and visits make a difference in their day. I am available to take care of your pets throughout the week, with the exception of Sunday, giving you relief during your busy work week knowing your fur babies are still getting the love, fun and care they need. I believe safety is just as important as fun. Whether on a walk or at the house, I am very aware and observant. My goal is to ensure your pets not only have a good time, but will not encounter danger. I know as a mother how easy it is to worry about your babies, so I treat them with the respect I would expect from another caretaker.

“Tracey was phenomenal! My pup is a super shy around new people but she warned up tracey quickly. Tracey is super responsive and sent a ton of photos. Highly recommend her!”

“Thank you so much for going and beyond! You truly are the BEST!!!”

About: I'm an absolute dream for pet parents! With over 35 years taking care of animals, I am a great choice for peace of mind, precision in following details, and trust. If your dog is high energy and wants a long walk or run during my stay with them all the better! I'm training for an Ultra marathon in 2026. I took a break from Rover since I had another business and small children to care for, but I'm BACK! My managers and employees handle my established pet care business in Central Austin currently. Rover gives me a chance to continue doing what I love while being able to continue providing employment and stability for the crew that's worked for me for many years. I'm great with special needs animals. I'm comfortable giving injections and other necessary medications. Special diets will be followed and only the best treats provided. About this sitter: My father traveled the NW and West Coast as an AKC judge, handler and groomer before hanging up the leashes to pursue other talents. Traveling with him and handling hundreds of pets from an early age provides me an unprecedented amount of knowledge. I've spent the last 15 years managing a very successful pet sitting company in both Portland and Austin. Recently we moved to Mexico for 3 years and explored the Yucatan from 2022-2025. We moved back so my oldest can pursue their career and start college, and my younger kids are gifted and interested in diving deep into sports. I have an active family and lifestyle with a lot of energy to spare for you and your pets! I currently have the time and attention to give with Overnight care in your home. I am working from home on passion projects and building a new business so my time is dedicated to your household while I am there. My teens care for our animals when I am away from my own home. They have years of experience as well from working alongside me their whole lives.

“Kai really helped me out when I was in a bind. She’s so great with Archie who is a handful as he’s still a puppy. She communicates well and I always know how Archie’s doing as she sends regular updates and photos.”

“Brandy really cares about Ladybug! She lets her sniff and roll around in the leaves. She's very in tune to her psychological as well as her physical needs!”

About: I got my first dog when I was 12. His name was Sebastion and he was literally my best friend through some tough middle school years. He lived to the ripe old age of 13 and were always together except in my college years. More recently I have been house sitting and dog-sitting for family members and friends. I can not emphasize enough how much animals are drawn to me. It's like a not-so-super-power, I'm always that guy at the party that gets trapped by the dog or cat on the couch (I say trapped but I love it!). When I’m house-sitting, I’m generally there full-time. I am recovering from sciatica at the moment so I’m not working my other job right now. Which means I will be there almost all the time to give your animals all the pets and play they can handle. I take my clients privacy very seriously. I would never invite anyone else over to your house. I am definitely on the introvert side of the personality scale, so I’m quite happy hanging out reading, binging tv and loving on animals. I sometimes joke that I like animals more than humans. I’ve been with Rover for over two years now and have some of the best metrics and reviews in the area. I’ve never had any major issues or emergencies. But, I’ve done quite a bit of research on dog and animal care and have no doubt that I could spot behavior that isn’t normal and that could be medically relevant. I would love to be your pets’ temporary human while you’re away and their forever sitter! I’m recovering from a back injury at the moment so this is my main gig. So I am available for your pets pretty much full time. I will sometimes head to my house for a few hours in afternoon but rarely more than a few hours. I'm not currently living in residences where I can board pets, landlord won't allow it. When i move, which should be soon, I will offer this service.

“Mackenzie is a very positive person and she was really easy going with my beagle which is how she most enjoys her walks. I appreciated that. I'd book her again without hestitation.”

About: Because your babies deserve more than just a walk, they deserve care that feels calm, consistent, and genuinely loving. 💕 ⠀ Hi, I’m Lisa!
 I’m a retired, lifelong dog and cat lover offering calm, loving, one‑on‑one care in a peaceful, low‑stress home. 🐾 ⠀ After recently saying goodbye to my own beloved dogs, I’m ready to open my heart and home to yours. Your dog will get plenty of attention, affection, and companionship throughout the day and will never be left alone for long stretches. I tailor care to each dog’s routine, personality, and energy level so they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. I truly treat every dog like family. ⠀ 🗓️ A Typical Day With Me Every day is shaped around your dog’s needs. We usually start with a walk for fresh air, sniffing, and exploration. When weather and energy allow, I enjoy relaxed neighborhood walks or nearby Austin trails for a change of scenery and gentle enrichment. ⠀ ⠀ 🎾 Playtime & Relaxation Playtime is part of our daily routine—whether that’s backyard play like fetch or tug‑of‑war, followed by calm rest time to recharge. Everything is adjusted to your dog’s comfort, stamina, and preferences. ⠀ Throughout the day, I focus on routine, comfort, and safety so your dog feels secure, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is a central part of my daily and weekly routine, and I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to truly prioritize the pets in my care. Because I’m available and home often, I can accommodate early mornings, midday walks or check‑ins, evening care, overnight stays, and custom routines. ⠀ I’m happy to accept last‑minute bookings when availability allows, as well as extended stays and holiday care. I also do my best to prioritize repeat clients whenever possible, since I love building long‑term relationships with pets and their families. If your pet has stayed with me before, I’m always happy to welcome them back—it helps me provide even more personalized, consistent care each time. 🏠 Safety, Trust & Environment I truly care for every pet as if they were part of my own family. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable—whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours. I stick closely to your pet’s routine and preferences so they can settle in easily and feel right at home. ⠀ In my home, pets are never just “watched”—they’re given attention, affection, and plenty of supervised time, including safe outdoor play in my fenced yard. I’m thoughtful about space and introductions, and my kitty prefers to relax on her own when dogs are visiting, which helps keep the environment calm and peaceful for everyone. ⠀ In clients’ homes, I care for pets with the same love and respect, following all instructions for meals, medications, walks, and daily routines. ⠀ 🦮 During dog walks, I focus on safety, comfort, and letting your dog enjoy their time at a pace that feels right for them. I also love sending updates and photos, so you can feel connected and reassured while you’re away.

About: Having been raised around animals my entire life; dogs, cats, and even horses, I am extremely comfortable being around and caring for your pets! I understand how important good care is from raising my own pets throughout the years, and am a reliable and trustworthy caretaker! As a full-time college student my schedule has been created to support good opportunities for me to manage free time and commitments. Daily walks are already a part of my day to day, and I would love having a walking buddy! Drop-in visits are also very doable, especially on weekends! My own living space is always clean and organized, as well as comforting. It also has the potential to fit whatever the pet needs, and adapt to those needs. When it comes to others homes, I understand the level of trust that goes into welcoming someone into your home and am very respectful and aware of clients space and preferences.

“Luka had a blast on his walk! Hayden did a great job giving him exercise while I was out at work and made sure to give him breaks in the shade! When I got home, Luka was a happy boy and nice and relaxed! Luka can be a reactive pup toward other dogs and I’m glad I am able to trust Hayden to care for him properly to keep him and other dogs safe! I also loved seeing picture updates from Hayden from their time on the walk! 10/10 will book Hayden again!!!”

About: I grew up with cats as young as I can remember. Dogs came later when i was 10. I adore both like children because they need us as much as we need them. Keeping them happy and under control keeps us happy too! I’m looking to care for other animals so i can enjoy time with pets. Those animals will help me get through my recent life event that recently happened. It’s great therapy for me. 🙂 While my apartment is small dog friendly, i prefer to care for animals where they’re familiar as it reduces stress for them. Walking is great exercise for both the dog and me rain or shine. Once your dog understands me, we will play and train for fun. I hope your dog learns a new trick or two with me!

About: I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter with years of experience. I provide calm, attentive care for your pets in your home. I’m great with dogs and cats, give medication when needed, and always send photo updates. Available for drop-ins, walks, and house sitting. Let me give your pets the love and care they deserve while you’re away! "Pet care fits very easily into my daily routine. I'm a homebody and I'm usually home during the day. I'm very flexible and can work around your schedule for drop-in visits and dog walks, typically between 7am and 8pm, 7 days a week. I take care of pets in your home. Whether it's house sitting, drop-in visits, or dog walks, I always go to the client's home. I give each pet my full attention, make sure they get their meals and medication on time, plenty of love and playtime, and I keep the home clean. Your pet's safety and comfort is my top priority.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for a variety of neighbors and friends for the last 5 years. I have cared for small, medium, and large dogs. The largest dog was around 140 pounds. I have also looked after cats. I work full time Monday-Thursday, so I am mainly looking for opportunities over the weekend. However, I have a flexible work schedule so I can stop by during my lunch break as needed. I have lots of exposure to a variety of animals so I am excited to get to know your pet and make them feel loved while you are away! I love talking to my pets at home, giving them treats, going on walks, and cuddling on the couch.

About: I have had many dogs in my life and a couple cats. My children love dogs. Your pet will be loved and cared for as if they were our own. I am currently a single stay at home dad, I will take your pet on my morning and afternoon walks. They will be a part of the household as if they were our own. Plenty of love to give. We have a dog park at the apartment complex and a park within walking distance. I also have access to a dog grooming station if needed. They will have plenty of outdoor time as well as in door time.

About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic pups to gentle seniors. I adopted my Australian Shepard, Eevee, when she was three and she uses buttons to communicate, so I’ve learned a lot about patience, understanding, and meeting every pup where they are. I’ve cared for a diverse range of dogs, and since I spend most of my time at home, your dog will always have the attention and care they need. I’m also bilingual, so if your dog responds to “¿Quieres ir al baño?” instead of “Do you want to go potty?”, I’ve got it covered. 🐾 I’m available most weekdays and weekends, so your dog will get plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and mental stimulation. I can follow your routines for feeding, potty breaks, and cuddles, whether at your home or mine. I offer drop in visits, walks, and boarding tailored to each pet’s needs. Your dog(s) will get attention, exercise, and play (ball included if they love it)! At my home, they will have Eevee to keep them company. She absolutely adores smaller dogs, but also enjoys dogs her size (she’s medium sized). However, she is shy around larger dogs, and usually takes a little longer to adjust to them. I usually care for one pup at a time, but can comfortably accommodate two. At your home, I follow your routines to keep pets happy and relaxed. Puppies, adults, and seniors are all welcome, weekdays and weekends.

“Juvadee is amazing soul, and was so great with our foster pup Beau. He was a very needy boy and she was so patient with him. She is so communicative and I always know our animals are in good hands with her.”
