I go the distance for your pup🐕🏃
My wife and I moved to Austin for the running scene, so long walks and miles of movement are what I live for. If your dog has energy to burn, I’m more than happy to match their energy on the trails, sidewalks, and (safe) roads. I’m a former service dog trainer, so I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities, quirks, and needs. At home, we’ve got two bigger, high-energy older dogs, which means I’m used to handling strength, stamina, and the occasional “we’re not done yet” attitude. Whether your pup needs a chill walk, a proper outing, or a legit run, I’ve got you covered. I’m reliable, flexible, and I treat every dog like they’re my own .
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Gustavo was the best house and dog sitter we’ve had and we’ve used quite a few sitters through Rover. He sent multiple pictures and updates every day which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious our dogs were well cared for and loved. We would absolutely book Gustavo again and highly recommend him!
Gustavo was great! We got consistent updates on our pups and they seemed to love him. Will definitely be rebooking in the future.
Gustavo was the best. Looking forward to having him in our home again to hang out with our three Danes. Thanks so much Gustavo!
Gustavo was great? He kept us informed on how the dogs were doing and sent several pictures of the dogs hanging out at the house and out on walks.
I can’t recommend Gustavo enough for dog sitting and dog walking. He is incredibly reliable, attentive, and genuinely cares about the well-being of every dog he works with. What really sets him apart is his background. He was involved in respected dog training organizations during college, which shows in the way he handles and understands dogs of all temperaments. On top of that, Gustavo is a strong runner, so he’s perfect for high-energy dogs that need more than just a casual walk. He knows how to keep them engaged, exercised, and happy while also maintaining control and safety at all times. If you’re looking for someone who is trustworthy, experienced, and truly passionate about dogs, Gustavo is an amazing choice.
Gustavo is reliable, professional, and always goes above and beyond for my dog Ripley! As a professional runner, he has no problem keeping up with (and surpassing) her high energy on walks/runs. It's clear he loves dogs and is dedicated to keeping Ripley happy and healthy! If you're looking for someone dedicated to your pets just as much as you are then look no further!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I've had and taken care of others' dogs for as long as I can remember! With two high-energy older dogs at home, I know how important it is to make sure a dog's unique, detailed needs are met. As a former dog trainer and pet sitter with over a decade of experience, you can trust your dog will be cared for as if they were my own.

A typical day
I've been a distance runner even longer than I've taken care of dogs, so I'm able to take your dog three or four miles every half hour and match any energy they throw my way if staying in their backyard or home.
