“I've got a senior dog with health issues who has been wearing the cone of shame. Jackson never gave up and continuously showed up to take care of my pup, make sure her needs were met until she adjusted just fine. Working odd hours is stressful, but knowing my pup is being taking care of with consistent care has helped me so much. Also, his communication is clear and he's very friendly!”
“Madeline was so prompt and thoughtful in her care for Cooper! The detailed walk recaps and photos mean so much to me when I’m stuck at work away from home. I will absolutely re-book.”
About: Looking to care for your fur babies to fund my wedding in 2026! I am a dog mom of 4 dogs; Uzi (Pitbull), Dash (Corgi Mix), Blaize (Chihuahua), Nala (Shiba). I love all my puppers and would provide the same amount of love to your puppers. All of my dogs are friendly but if you are looking for me to board your dog, please let me know as I can stay at my friends house without my dogs. I work from home on Monday and Friday. I am in office from Tuesday to Thursday. My hours are very flexible which includes weekends. Message me for my availabilities! I am very attentive to dogs! I love to play with them if it’s outside playing fetch or inside playing with toys. I love to take my dogs on walks because it allows me to reach my daily step goals.

“Taylor is great! She follows instructions perfectly with Shiner, being that it’s so Hot outside, She walks him very briefly on the grass then plays ball with him in back yard!”
About: Hi, my name is Izzy! I am originally from Michigan, and became an Austin transplant about 6 months ago due to my job. I have always had animals in my life from a young age. I grew up with horses and spent most of my childhood working on a farm. I absolutely love all animals! I had dogs growing up, and adopted my cat, Stinky once I graduated college. I also just applied to be a volunteer at Austin Pets Alive. I have a hybrid work schedule, so I have some flexibility on weekdays, and am almost always available on weekends. I typically work from home on Tuesdays and Fridays. I live in an apartment complex, so would like to have jobs where I can go to the clients home. I would love to take your pets on walks or just give them attention and care!
About: Dogs have been a central part of my life for about 8 years now. I am a dog dad to a wonderful golden retriever who loves to train and get moving outside. Aside from animals, I am a full time public school teacher in Austin and acknowledge the need for a personalized approach when interacting with others, whether human or furry! I have experience administering medication and am willing to assist in other ways your pet may require assistance/care. I am available to assist you with your pet’s weekend routines (Saturday and Sunday from 6am-3pm). I am happy to ensure you get the chance to step out for errands or brunch. I consider it my responsibility to keep an eye on pets at all times. If any additional care instructions are needed, I simply ask you to provide them and you can consider them done with a guarantee of your pet’s safety and comfort.
About: I’ve always had pets growing up and I truly love animals! I frequently watch my friends dogs when they need help and make sure their pets feel safe, happy, and cared for.

“Sarah is fantastic! Highly recommend her. She helped me last minute due to a family emergency. I was so thankful for her. She took such great care of my pup: sent me photos, messages, and care information. I didn’t have to worry about him or my home while I was away. Very sweet and caring, responsible, and just wonderful. Thank you Sarah!”
About: Hi! I am Kate. I have been taking care of dogs and lots of critters since I was in middle school. We have 2 pups of our own, including a goofy Chocolate Lab and a rescue girly who is partially deaf. We also regularly foster with AAC. Along with being a huge dog lover, I am an accomplished equestrian - I truly love all animals big and small! I am very active and love to take pups on long walks, hikes and lots of outdoor playtime! I am also a marathoner, so if your pup likes to go for runs, I can accommodate that as well (weather permitting of course). I work from home, so your babies will have constant love and attention. My husband and I live in a beautiful home in South Austin with a large yard perfect for zoomies and ball throw! I am available to dog walk, drop in for visits or host dogs overnight. I am skilled at administering meds and also working with special needs animals - since I have fostered, I have seen it all! I can't wait to meet your babies and look forward to working with you! I work from home and make my own schedule, so your pups will never be alone for long. I am able to work/be flexible with whatever your pups need. My dogs are my babies, and any pets staying in my home will be treated like family. I am very diligent of safety when dog walking, and in my own home I have a fenced yard that we keep locked. We have pups of our own so our home is already dog proof. No breed restrictions! BUT if possible I may require a meet & greet for boarding/daycare, particularly for larger dogs or those who are a bit more sensitive. My chief concern is the safety of your dogs and my household and doing a meet & greet first helps me establish how I can best care for your baby! We are slow and careful with greetings and we are happy to host all dogs as long as they are copasetic with us and the pups in our household.
