Dog Walking McDade

About: I understand that we live in a busy world so when you book me I make sure to treat your dog(s) like my own! I always feel accomplished when I bring a dog home that has been worn out, and I'm always patient with dogs that are not so easy on walks (big dogs, reactive dogs, dogs who are anxious and dont really like walks). I have lived in Austin for 22 years and I am familiar with many neighborhoods and parks so I am able to take your pup on longer, more mentally stimulating walks rather than just walking around the same block again and again! I appreciate you choosing me to spend time with your pup(s) and I'm am excited to explore Austin with your fur babies!

About: I have been around dogs for 41 years and taken care of them for over 36. I've also worked with and cared for cats, goats, horses, pigs, chickens and some other exotic animals here and there. I have experience in training dogs both on and off leash with e-collars. I also have a dog and indoor/outdoor cat and have trained them to get along and perform jobs.I I am a work from home entrepreneur with 1 acre who also works with a local farm on 20 acres, so there is always plenty of space and time to take care of animals. I have a half acre fenced yard with a standard 4' fence so as long as your doggo isn't tiny or able to jump fences they'll be able to stay outside longer if they like. Otherwise I can monitor them or walk them around the property. I have en elderly dog who may play with your dog(s) or who may keep to himself. I have an outdoor cat that takes care of snakes, bugs and rodents who also comes in the house sometimes. I have access to 1 or 2 small to medium crates, &/or if you prefer to provide a crate, I can crate your dog as well. If dogs are well trained and well behaved, I also have access to a 20 acre farm in the neighborhood so we can go there for exercise.

About: My grandfather was a veterinarian, my family has always cared for many pets and fostered. I have been housesitting and caring for pets myself since I was a teenager. My daughter started accompanying me when she was only 5 months old. She has an overwhelming love for animals, making her the perfect addition for caring and comforting your pets while you’re away. I’m free to walk, check in, stay with your pets weekdays and weekends. I also have a flexible work schedule to be available anytime for emergencies. I have a golden doodle who loves going to grandpas so that I can housesit for others. If you are looking to board in our home, we have a townhome with a small fenced in yard. Our dog can also go to her grandpas if your pets are not comfortable with other dogs.

About: We’re Layla and Gracie, a sister team who work together to care for your pets like they’re our own. With over 10 years of pet sitting experience, we’ve had the joy of caring for all kinds of animals including dogs, cats, small pets, chickens, goats, and even donkeys. We take the time to understand each animal’s personality and routine, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well-loved while you’re away. Pet sitting fits naturally into our daily routine, which allows us to offer flexible and consistent care. I am a full-time online veterinary technician student, and my sister Gracie is volunteering regularly at a local animal shelter with the goal of becoming a veterinary assistant. Because of our availability, you’ll be able to depend on us for walks, check-ins, and overnight care every day of the week. Your pets will always have priority in our schedules and routines! When caring for pets in our clients’ homes, we do our best to keep everything as close to their normal routine as possible. We follow all feeding schedules, walking routines, and any specific instructions (medications, diets, etc.) to make sure your pet feels comfortable and stress-free when they’re without you. We spend quality time with each pet based on their needs—whether that’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply keeping them company. We’re happy to provide updates, photos, and communication so you can feel confident that your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: I have lots of experience with different types of animals. We have three inside kitties that were rescued when they were still bottle feeding. Two years ago we lost our 19 year old Labrador to old age. And the year before that we lost our 16 year old chow chow to old age. I will feed, water, walk and clean up after the babies. I am a full time store manager for Hobby Lobby. I Rover on the side to help my youngest daughter pay for her wedding. I am available most evenings after 6p. I do not wish to care for anyone’s fur babies in my home. It would stress my kitties and I will not put them through any stress. I will take very good care of your fur babies in your home. I will follow all instructions given for their care and do my best to make the visit as comfortable as possible for the babies.

About: I have taken care of many dogs for family and friends in the Austin area for overnight trips, emergency trips, and day to day care. I follow instructions well and love to spend time with all animals, especially dogs. I take care of my two cats at home daily and occasionally take care of other pets for friends and family. I have a part time job so my schedule is flexible. I check their essentials every day (water, food, etc.) and spend time with them to make sure they’re active and happy. Any other needs I happily take care of with instructions given to suit the needs of your pet and home!

About: I do not hold any certifications or licenses but I am a person who has had dogs in the home since I was a child. I've been lucky enough to have owned and trained small and large breed dogs, working and non working breeds alike. I am currently at home FT. I don't currently have any limitations on what days of the week or times I can watch your pup/s. So your dog will be my main priority during its stay. I have two dogs of my own to keep yours company. A fenced in yard, crates and extra rooms for everyone to separate if needed or they want to. No restrictions on the furniture as i keep the couch covered mostly. I keep several water bowls out. Feel free to bring any toys, blankets, crates, beds or anything else you feel may bring your dog ease. I follow your dogs feeding schedule. I have cared for old dogs before and am capable of administering medications when needed.

“She’s awesome. Very caring and sweet to my dog.”

About: I took a course in Companion Animal science and learned the proper positive reinforcement techniques to train dogs to be service animals. I have loved dogs and animals my whole life and have done extensive research on various breeds/temperaments/behavior. While loving and caring for your pet, I can offer basic obedience training and leash training. I have looked after many of my friends and family’s pets and would consider myself a very knowledgeable and loving pet sitter! Every weekend, I’m always taking my dog to the nearest park or outdoor activity. I’d be happy to bring your pup along with us if they need some extra exercise/socializing/training on the weekends! Also available to drop in on the week day evenings My dog roams free in my apartment and likes to lounge on the balcony. He’s happy to have friends over to keep him company and play with. Non-destructive and housebroken dogs are more than welcome to roam free. If your dog has some chewing habits/ has accidents, they will have to be kennel trained and kenneled when I’m out of the house :)

I also appreciate the fact he has experience with many breeds and different dog personality types. Eshaan is very friendly and a kind person; and Lennox loved spending time with him.”
