Dog Walking Jollyville

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 never gone more than 1 year without pets in my home! I have 15+ years experience with both dogs and cats, with a wide range of breeds. I do exceptionally well with both calm and energetic pets. I am a gym rat and animal lover all in one, so whether they need cuddles or play time, I’m the girl they need! Fun fact, I even have a tattoo that says, “some angles choose fur instead of wings” because I sometimes like animals more than people ( LOL ! ) I am a full time entrepreneur and personal trainer, so I have open availability for all of my business ventures, including pet care. If you have special requests or needs, do not hesitate to ask! Pets that board with me will be taken to use the restroom often. They will be walked at least 2-3x a day on a leash where other dogs are allowed (no aggressive dogs to board please!). If you need in-home care for your pet, I am open to following detailed instruction to make sure your pet is cared for entirely!

“Brandy is very helpful. On one of the walks I had my deadbolt on and she couldn’t enter the house, and I was unreachable. rather than walking away she waited until she spoke with me and try to figure out other options to get to my pup so she can walk her. I recommend her and appreciate her willingness to help out”

“Lisa is absolutely amazing! I moved here from Dallas and she started walking Nala everyday and she loves her. Very reliable and great communication. We are lucky to have Lisa!!!”

“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 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.

About: Certified Animal-Assisted Intervention Specialist (AAAIP) I bring a calm, attentive, and deeply compassionate approach to caring for your dog, treating every walk, feeding, and cuddle session with the same care I'd want for my own pet. As a Certified Animal-Assisted Intervention Specialist, I've been trained in therapeutic, trust-based approaches to animal care, and I bring that same mindful attention to every dog I look after. I do my best work with well-socialized, easygoing adult dogs, and I'm not taking on puppy clients at this time, since we also have two dogs of our own at home. I'm happy to follow specific routines, administer medication, and keep you updated with regular check-ins and photos. For the past two years, my dog Ranger, also my animal therapy partner, and I have worked as housesitters, caring for dogs and cats in their own homes. Ranger's calm, steady presence puts other animals at ease quickly, and together we've built a comfortable rhythm around all kinds of pets and personalities. I prioritize consistency and comfort by sticking to your dog's usual schedule for feeding, walks, and rest. My preference is to board your dog in my own home, where they can enjoy a calm, stable environment alongside our own well-socialized dogs and Ranger's steady presence, though I'm happy to discuss house-sitting at your home depending on the fit. My approach to animal care has been shaped by a lifetime of loving and learning from animals. As a longtime yoga and animal therapist, I've seen firsthand how much gentle, mindful care can support an animal's emotional and physical well-being, whether they're recovering from something difficult or just need comfort and companionship. I also spent 17 years caring for my beloved cat, Angel, including being by her side at the end of her life, an experience that deepened my understanding of the trust, patience, and love that caring for an animal truly requires. Caring for pets isn't just about meeting basic needs. It's about understanding their emotions, earning their trust, and creating a safe, loving space for them to thrive. That's the standard I bring to every dog and cat I care for. Pet care is a steady part of my everyday routine, not something I fit in around other things. My days include regular feeding times, walks, playtime, and quiet rest periods, so pets in my care have a predictable rhythm to feel secure in. One of us is typically home throughout the day, allowing for playful check-ins, medication schedules, or extra care and cuddles. I keep my calendar updated with my real availability, so what you see is accurate. Safety is at the center of how I care for every pet. I keep a close eye on my surroundings during walks and playtime, use secure leashes and equipment, and double-check gates, doors, and fences before letting dogs off-leash in any yard. I never leave pets unsupervised in unfamiliar or unsecured areas, and I stay alert to signs of stress, illness, or discomfort so I can respond quickly. I also keep clients informed with regular updates and photos, and I always have a plan in place for emergencies, including quick access to vet information and contact numbers.

“Andrew has been doing 3 weekly walks for about a month now and I couldn’t be happier! He keeps me in the loop on length of walks and how my dog is doing, asks questions if he isn’t sure about something, and overall goes above and beyond for a GREAT price. Book Andrew for your pet needs, you’ll be getting 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.

About: My first dog was a year old when I was born. He was my protector and best friend. I have rarely been without a dog, and my current BFF is a 3-year-old beagle named Daisy Duke. Daisy is a delight and the source of much entertainment. She loves everything and everyone. We would love to love on your fur babies and care for your home so that you can enjoy your travels with peace of mind. I work from home and have a pretty flexible schedule. As long as you are somewhat flexible and can give me a little notice, I will make sure your babies get the exercise, attention, medications, dinners, and love they deserve when you cannot be there. In our initial meeting, we will discuss any bad habits, allergies, hazards, or other concerns you may have regarding your pet's safety and the security of your home. Safety is of the utmost importance.

“Tracey was quick to respond, great with my pup, and all around had great vibes! She was able to accommodate me last minute and my dog was happy and dog tired after his walk! Will definitely book again!”

About: I’ve had all kinds of pets since I was little: fish, dogs, cats, and even lab rats. I’ve also taken care of my friends’ and family members’ pets. I’m very good with animals — I have a lot of patience with them, and I treat them with so much love. At the moment I am fully available, so I can dedicate my time to engaging with pets, keeping them active, and teaching them new tricks and skills. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to providing a safe, positive experience for every pet in my care. At the moment I don’t have a backyard, but I do have a small balcony where pets can relax and enjoy the sun. Inside my condominium there are several green areas for walking, as well as a designated dog park where pets can explore and make new friends. I also have my own cat — he’s very calm, affectionate, and loves meeting new companions. I always make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for during their stay.

“This was the first time for both me and my pup, Ollie, to meet Tobias. We both immediately liked him. I think Ollie made an instant friend. :)”

About: Having worked in a Doggy Daycare and an Animal Shelter, I've experienced taking care of dogs of all kinds of personalities and understand common behaviors and body language. I love looking after medium and small dogs and can provide supervised playtime and 30-minute walks if requested. Let me know if you have special requests! I work from home, so I have flexibility to provide potty breaks every 4-5 hours. From drop-in visits, to daily walks, to house-sitting, I always do my best to keep your dog safe, healthy and happy. During the summer, I usuallly take dogs for very short walks, and always bring a water bottle. I can provide indoor playtime with their favorite toys.

“Erin is incredibly sweet and caring and has been a massive help with walking my dog Loki while I’m recovering from an injury. She goes above and beyond what I expected from a dog walker and Loki is always in a good mood after his walks. Very much appreciate everything Erin has done and highly recommend her if you are looking for someone to care for your pet.”

“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.”

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

About: Since moving to the USA two years ago, I have missed the joy of having pets in my home. I am an avid animal lover with a deep sense of responsibility, and I’m looking to share that affection with your furry family members. ​My two young sons (ages 4 and 5) have been taught from day one how to be gentle and respectful toward animals. We provide a calm, supervised, and loving environment where your pet will be treated like one of our own. Whether it’s play, walks, or quiet companionship, we are ready to surround your pet with care and attention! I'm currently working part-time remotely. I am available for walks from 7.30 am till 12.00 and from 4.00 pm till 8 pm. I'm available for boarding during all the week. Your pet’s routine is my priority! My part-time remote work schedule means I am home throughout the week to provide consistent care and cuddles. I am available for walks during the early morning (7:30 AM – 12:00 PM) to get their energy out, or in the late afternoon and evening (4:00 PM – 8:00 PM). For boarding, my home is open all week long, ensuring your furry friend has a safe, loving, and supervised place to stay while you’re away.

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 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.
