About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I make sure dogs are fed on time, get exercise, and feel safe and comfortable. I enjoy playing with them and giving them attention so they don’t feel lonely. I am responsible and patient, and I treat every dog like family. I also send updates and photos so you can feel comfortable while your dog is in my care. I also volunteer at a pet work&woof place through my school at austin I’m full time deaf senior during the school year! I’m available during weekends, summer and holiday breaks. I am super flexible with time frames. I am very organized person. I will take great care of your dog in my home.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 12, and my love for them has only grown. I’ve cared for puppies, seniors, and everything in between—including my own dog through his golden years. I know every dog is unique, and I’m here to give them the personalized care they need! I’m a full-time, stay at home Wife! Therefore, I have the rare flexibility to offer round-the-clock care for your pet. Your dog will receive my full attention throughout the day—whether it’s a morning walk, midday playtime, or evening snuggles. I no longer have any dogs of my own, which means my home is a calm, pet-free space—ideal for pets who may prefer one-on-one care. I only care for one dog at a time (unless both are from the same family), so your pet gets personalized attention and never has to compete for love or space. I completely understand that trusting someone new with your pets can be unnerving. I provide personalized care tailored to each pet’s needs, whether in my home or my client’s home. I create a comfortable, stress-free environment by following their routine, ensuring they get plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. From daily walks and feeding to administering medication or providing extra attention for puppies and senior dogs!
“Roman is very kind and patient... With My dogs and me! I probably need it more than the dogs do. My dogs have had some traumas so I'm a little edgy. Roman helped me through. My dogs took to him right away and I look forward to the relationship between them growing.”

“I had never hired a dog walker until I met Joshna and her family. Before our 1st scheduled walk they came by for a quick meet and greet which was very nice and really took the time to get to know our fur baby. I now book them on a regular basis and I can’t express enough how great they are!! I’d definitely recommend them to friends and fam!”

About: I have owned dogs the past 30 years! (And a cat as a child). I am dependable, responsible and caring. You can be assured your pet is in good hands. I am currently an at-home mom of two middle school aged children. I have the flexibility to meet most pet needs you might have with little notice required.

About: I have a 8 yr old bichon myself whom I have trained to be an esa. I also have a five-year-old toy poodle mix who is also an ESA. I am the go to person to dog sit for my friends and family. I am very patient and kind and sill give you furry family member all the love they need. I have experience with dogs who need a little extra help in the health department and who are a little bit older. I will treat your fur babies like they’re my own. I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to take care of the fur babies. I am gone for about eight hours on Tuesday and Thursday. However, I work very close to home so I can run home to do Potty breaks if need be. Both of my dogs are very different personality wise. Loki loves to play and he’s a very curious dog. He likes to interact with other dogs as well. He may be eight years old, but you would think that he’s still a puppy with the amount of energy he has but he’s not wanting to play. He’s wanting to watch TV and cuddle as for Apollo. He’s very laid-back and chill. He likes to just sleep and play by himself, but he will play with other others. He does have a condition with his eyes where he does not produce the correct amount of tears so I do administer a daily medication for him. I do have a small yard with a doggie door so they have access to outside all day.
About: I have owned dogs my entire life and have been the primary caretaker for my multiple dogs my entire adult life. We currently have a dog who requires regular medication and health attention. I often care for my neighbors' dogs in their homes while they are away. I love to take my own dogs for walks and would be happy to do the same for yours! Currently, I'm off work for the summer and have ample availability. I can work my schedule around the needs of your animals. Excited to help! I like to provide all requested services for the animals while their owners are away, but I also like to leave their home the way they left it. I'm happy to give medicine at the appropriate times and clean up any accidents that may be left behind by the animal.

April was amazing with my two dogs. She was kind and communicative throughout the time I was away. While traveling home, my flight was delayed and she immediately offered to help. The reassurance I had during the stress of travels was much appreciated. Would absolutely have April care for my pups again. Thank you so much!

Brittany is very sweet and caring. She is a great walker and always makes sure my doggy has a full water bowl. She’s very attentive and will let me know if she sees any issues with ghost whether is a skin issue or if the pavement is too hot for his paws. You won’t regret hiring her!
