Dog Walking in Mlk, Austin, TX

About: Can I pet that dog?! After returning from living overseas, I am back in Austin looking to enjoy and spread good vibes. What better way than helping out with your fur babies. I spend a lot of time outside, with friends, at the park or on the trail. I'm a fun and gentle buddy for your active doggo. I understand everyone has careful habits with dog walks, and I'm ready to support yours. Whether is a short potty break, or a longer walk, I'm ready rain or shine to be flexible and available for you. I'm available mid day and some mornings to help with dog walks. I work part time for a non-profit on the Eastside. Since most of our programs are in the afternoon and evenings, I'm free to have fun with your pup in the day! I am ready to support your dog's walking rhythms and habits. I'm a quick learner of dogs, as well as your routines. I know the neighborhood and I make sure to avoid busy intersections. If you have a path your dog likes, let me know. Or you can let us explore some green spaces nearby together.

“Kendall B. is great. The very best. I've been using Rover walkers daily for about 4 months now, and Kendall is by far the best. She is responsible and punctual, and shows up when she says she will, without fail. She is very pleasant, gentle, and patient, and my dog, who is more than a handful, loves her. She is polite, warm, friendly, and respectful, all the basic social skills. Be assured that you will be pleased with Kendall B.”

About: I've grown up around dogs my entire life. I always volunteer to take care of my friends and families fur babies. We rescued our pup Harley over 10 years ago, she was very timid, shy and had no interest in walks, playing or other animals when we first got her. After a lot of patience and training she has come so far and now loves to run, meet new furry friends and adventure. As a dog mom with a timid pup I know what its like to trust someone to look after your pet and am here to offer the best love and care for your pets needs! I'm currently working part-time so I am pretty flexible with my hours. I am here to care for your fur babies 3 days a week. Tell me all the things I should know about your dogs favorite walking routes, toys and routines. I love meeting new dogs and their owners before hand if they are open to that, so they are familiar with me.

About: I've had and taken care of many kinds of dogs and cats since childhood, from puppies and kittens to seniors. Friends and family have relied on me for years to pet sit for them for short and long periods of time, and I also have experience fostering dogs and puppies. I am currently between jobs, so will have plenty of time to play with your pets. I am also available for boarding if our timing aligns. I have a mostly fenced in yard at my house (3 sides enclosed / just open at the car port), so can play in the yard leashed and go on walks from here. I can easily crate your dog at my house or am able to block off areas of my house easily as well.

About: I was raised around dogs and have cared for them for my whole life. Since adopting my Australian Cattle Dog ten years ago, I've done it all with pet care; training, daily exercise, dietary and health concerns. Now I'm ready to show your best friend the same care, attention, and love that I show to my own! I'm currently a graduate student at St. Edward's University studying mental health counseling, so I am looking to care for pets around my academic schedule. I currently only have class on Tuesday and Wednesday and so am very flexible on any other day of the week. I bring warmth, calm, and attention to every animal that I meet, and treat everyone's home and space with the utmost respect. I will follow all instructions to the word and bring my attention to detail to your pets' unique needs.

About: Ever since I was a kid I have always felt like I have been in tune with animals. I always had 2 dogs and a cat or 2 cats and a dog growing up. As an adult I have volunteered at Animal sanctuaries and shelters. I donate to these institutions regularly. I don’t ever remember (nor do I ever want to), have a a time in my life where I don’t have a fur baby! They enrich your life so much! I have rescued ALL my fur babies! They are my kids! My world! I just rescued a 10 month old kitten who is more like a dog than a cat, IMO. So, If I become your sitter, I will treat your pets as if they were my own!

About: With over 7 years of experience as a house and pet sitter, your furry friends will always be in good hands. I’ve worked with cats and dogs. I have experience administering medicine, cleaning litter boxes, caring for elderly cats, and taking high-energy or elderly pups on their walks. I have a very flexible remote schedule that allows me to be available pretty much any time during the week/weekends, even for last minute requests. I typically get up around 6:30/7 and am in bed by 10 during the week, and can accommodate overnight visits as well. I prefer to watch over pets in your home, but I’m open to housing animals here if need be (and have done so in the past). Just ask and I’ll see if I can accommodate it!

About: I am a previous foster through APA! and dog walker volunteer at Austin Animal Center. I successfully placed 13 foster dogs and puppies into their forever homes. It is amazing watching them blossom into their personalities and excel at their training. I am a responsible, experienced pet walker / sitter, and have pet sat for several friends' dogs and with Rover over the last few years. I took a break from Rover as I got my own dog and transitioned back to in office work. However, my schedule is now flexible enough to accommodate drop in visits and dog walks. My dog is very friendly so I am also open to boarding requests for specific dog / apartment friendly pups! I ensure the highest safety of my animals, and encourage the use of harnesses on walks if they are strong pullers to prevent them from breaking out of their collars. I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes - ranging from 10 week old puppies, to 100 lb dogs, to dogs with disabilities (I have previously cared for dogs who were blind, paralyzed, etc.) I am patient, fun, and enjoy spending time with all pups! In my free time, I enjoy walking, the trail downtown, hiking, and spending time with friends. I work in Tech Supply Chain. It’s an in person hybrid role, but I can usually accommodate walks and drop in visits in advance. I am also free mornings, evenings, and weekends. I live in a very dog friendly apartment complex. My home is spacious with a balcony that pups love to lay on and watch people and dogs pass below. I have a 3 year old dog friendly pup who loves to play.

“Saarah was great with our fur baby. They met for the first time and it was pure love. He felt so comfortable and walked longer than he normally would with anyone else. We would be booking Saarah again for sure,”

About: I’ve taken care of up to 4 dogs and a cat at once while house sitting. I’ve also done check in visits, walking services, fostering, and more! I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I work from home most days and go into the office occasionally. I typically go in once or twice a week, but have full control over my schedule and can adjust based on your pets needs. I will care for pets based on their personalities and needs. In general, I love to cuddle up and love on animals that are affectionate but can also just hang with the shy ones!

“Sarah was wonderful with my dog and also fantastic to work with! She is extremely responsive and reliable. Her communication is excellent (including lots of details and photos after each walk)! I will happily book her again!”
