Dog Walking in Montopolis, Austin

About: As a lifelong equestrian, I’ve been lucky enough to spend the last 15 years surrounded by animals of all shapes and sizes, and honestly, I wouldn't have it any other way! My unique experience has given me a one-of-a-kind understanding of animal care, from building trust and developing training routines to recognizing the subtle cues that help me care for animals of all kinds with patience and expertise. I’ve worked with every breed, size, and personality you can imagine – from playful to older animals with special needs. I’m super familiar with all kinds of training regimens and behavioral challenges, so no matter what your pet needs, I’ve got you covered. I’m based in the heart of the east side of Austin, Texas, and I can’t wait to meet your furry friends! Working from home gives me the perfect setup to be an awesome pet sitter! I’m here all day, every day, which means your pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and snuggles whenever they need it. It’s like having a personal pet buddy at home – I’m always around to give them the love and care they deserve while keeping things fun and relaxed. Whether it’s a quick walk, a nap, or just some extra cuddles, I’m here to make sure your pets are happy and comfortable while you’re away! I understand that every pet is unique, so I’m always flexible and ready to adjust my care to fit their individual needs. Whether your pet prefers a calm routine, more playtime, or a special diet, I’m happy to tailor my approach to make sure they feel right at home. My goal is to provide care that suits their personality and keeps them comfortable, happy, and healthy – just like you would!

“Ashlynn was wonderful with our high energy dog! Our pup came back happy, tired and really seemed to take a liking to Ashlynn which I was so relieved about.”

“Olivia was so sweet to Jackson. I had to leave town for an emergency at the same time his tummy was upset and she comforted him and even cleaned up the messes he left all over my apartment. I will absolutely book her again to walk my sweet boy.”

“Amanda has walked my yorkie poo, Sophie, for several weeks now. When I met with her the first time she was very attentive and asked specific questions to better understand Sophie's needs and temperament. She always walked Sophie at the agreed upon times and sent picture updates that made it clear Sophie was having a great time and being spoiled with lots of care and attention. Would highly recommend Amanda to anyone looking for help out with their pup!”

About: Whether it’s a walk around the neighborhood or a drop-in visit while you’re away, I treat every pet like family. With experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels, I understand how important it is to keep your pet safe, happy, and comfortable. During walks, I make sure your dog gets the exercise and mental stimulation they need, and on drop-in visits, I’m happy to provide potty breaks, playtime, feeding, and cuddles — all tailored to your pet’s routine. You’ll always receive updates, photos, and peace of mind. Let me know how I can support you and your furry friend! I have a hybrid and flexible work schedule that allows me to meet the needs of your dog. Happy to support you and your pup in any way I can! I treat your home with the same respect and care as I do your pet. I ensure doors are locked, food and water areas are clean, and any messes (like accidents or spills) are taken care of. I’m happy to water plants, bring in packages, or follow any special instructions you leave.

About: I was raised to have a reverence for all nature by ecologist parents. My special love in the animal world is cats, but I've also owned or cared for dogs, frogs, Madagascan hissing cockroaches, fish, goats, guinea pigs, and more! (I did eventually become allergic to guinea pigs, however.) I love animals, and they love me! As a school teacher, I currently have a wide open schedule while we are out of school for the summer. Once school starts up again in August, I'll mostly be available on weekends and after 5pm. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. During drop-in visits and dog walks, I focus on building trust through calm, attentive care and reliable routines. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, medication, potty breaks, and playtime, and I pay close attention to your pet’s body language and mood to make sure they feel secure and happy while you're away. For dog walks, I use secure leashing techniques, avoid unsafe or overly crowded areas, and adjust the pace based on your dog’s energy level and needs. During drop-in visits, I maintain a calm, respectful presence in your home, giving your pet the attention, affection, or quiet time they need to feel at ease. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you know your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for every step of the way.

“Parker was great with Hank! Showed up every day on time and the entire process was seamless so I never had to worry. I’ll definitely be using Parker for future walks and I highly recommend to other owners. Thanks Parker!”

“Maddie was FANTASTIC! Our situation required last minute services and was able to easily communicate with her and work on a schedule that worked! Her detailed communication and pictures made us feel very comfortable with her taking care of our dog! Will definitely be using her again!!”

About: I can administer medicine, liquid and pills. I work from home, so definitely able to give your pet the attention and care it needs and wants! It’s pretty much all integrated within my own routine. I clean the litter box every day, I have alerts for nail trimmings, flea meds, etc. A cat to keep your cat company, a very cleaned, well-maintained apartment with enrichment toys and a balcony for fresh air (if your pet is allowed).

About: Hi! I’m Matilda—an energetic, lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of pet care experience. I started pet sitting at just 10 years old for families in my neighborhood. Now based in Austin, I’m the trusted pet sitter for many of my friends and local community members. I’m active, reliable, and always ready for a walk, cuddle, or play session. Whether your pet needs mid-day potty breaks, company while you’re at work, or overnight care, I’m here to help—7 days a week, including during the workday. Your pet’s happiness and safety are my top priority, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. Let’s make your pet’s day a great one! Pet care is my full-time job, which means your pet gets my undivided attention! I’m available 7 days a week—including weekdays during the workday—and can easily adapt to your pet’s schedule and needs. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, feeding, or snuggles, I’m fully present and committed to providing loving, consistent care. Whether your pet stays with me or I come to you, I tailor my care to their unique needs, routines, and personality. In my home, your pet will enjoy a calm, clean, and cozy environment with plenty of attention, affection, and outdoor time. I’m active and love going on multiple walks each day, so your pup will get plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. I keep a consistent feeding, potty, and play schedule to help pets feel at home and secure. In your home, I respect your space and your pet’s routine. I make sure to keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible—following your feeding schedule, walk routes, house rules, and giving your pet the comfort of being in their own space while you’re away. I’ll also send regular updates with photos so you always know how your furry friend is doing. No matter the setting, I provide reliable, attentive, and loving care—just like I would for my own pet.

“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!”

“Madeline was great at updating me before and after my dogs walk! Absolutely would ask Madeline in the future to visit my pup!”

“This was our first time using Rover and it’s been a wonderful experience! We needed someone to take our two pups for daily walks for the week we were away (our house sitter worked all day). Abby was our girl and she did a fantastic job! Before we went away, Abby made time to come over, meet our girls, and see how we do things. So attentive and caring, we were able to enjoy our vacation so much knowing our little ones were getting the attention they needed. The daily photos and updates were awesome - she even gave us some of the best photos we have of our June! We would definitely hire Abby again!”

About: I grew up with a German Shephard/Border Collie Mix named Cookie. She is 14 now and we have had her since she was 10 weeks old so I have had experience from the puppy stage all the way to the senior care she needs now. I have also been a cat mom for over two years now, taking care of Nala from the kitten age to adulthood. In that time, I have learned a lot about cat care and the responsibility of having a pet entirely by yourself (I have also fallen deeply in love with cats in general). I have pet sit for family and friends with cats of all personalities and have become extremely patient in understanding temperament and what each individual baby needs. I know our pets are really our children and will do everything to make sure you and your pet are taken care of! I can't wait to meet your fur babies! I recently got laid off from my job so I have a lot of time to fit pet care into my schedule. Watching animals is more than a job for me, it's something I genuinely enjoy doing. Before your trip/leave, I will make sure to ask you all about your baby's personality, care needs, and any house related things. I know this can be a stressful experience for them so I will make sure to make them as comfortable as possible.

“Alana is awesome - she's super communicative and easy to work with. I have a lot of meetings lately and wanted to get my dog some extra walks, so Alana has been walking him twice a week. She sends great updates with pics and I know my fur baby is in great hands.”

About: Need your furry friend checked in on, walked, or fully taken care of? I’m the girl for you! Please don't hesitate to contact me for any requests! I’m currently working part time so my schedule is very flexible! Happy to host your pet or travel to your location and ensure they are taken care of. I can accommodate potty breaks and walks as needed! I live close to the trail as well so walks will not be an issue. I live in a gated community!

About: Caring for animals has been part of my life since I was a kid, from checking in on a neighbor’s pet to hosting overnight stays. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments—senior pets are especially dear to me—understanding the extra care and attention they often need. From gentle routines to specialized care, I’m experienced in making sure older pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. No matter your pet’s age or needs, I provide a calm, caring environment where they’ll feel right at home. I currently have a flexible hybrid schedule, which means plenty of time to care for your pups! Whether they need overnight boarding or just some extra attention, I’ll make sure they feel right at home. I’m available for overnight stays starting at 4 PM—happy to provide a cozy, caring environment while you’re away! Your pup’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities! My apartment complex features a spacious, well-maintained dog park with a wonderful community of dogs and pet parents—perfect for social pups who love to play. But if your furry friend prefers a quieter experience, I’m happy to accommodate their needs. I understand that every dog is unique, and I’m comfortable providing specialized care, whether that means crating, reinforcing training routines, managing special diets, or administering medications. Senior dogs hold a special place in my heart, and I have extensive experience caring for them. Plus, living on the first floor means easy access with no stairs—gentler on aging joints.

“I was grateful to have Christy be able to jump in and help last minute! She was a great communicator and I felt comfortable knowing exactly how my dog was doing :)”

About: I have always had pets—cats, dogs, fish, rats, birds, and even snails. I have cared for animals of all ages and types of needs but am particularly well-versed in senior care, including medication , subQ fluids, and special comfort for dementia/arthritis. In terms of non-furry pets, I’m an aquarium enthusiast (freshwater) and happy to care for your fish, shrimp, and snails while you’re away; I know the signs to look for in terms of fish illnesses or tank imbalance and will keep you up to date while you’re gone. I work from home, so I will be home with your pets most of the time for overnight stays as long as I have internet access! My work schedule is often pretty flexible. Happy to provide all the playtime and snuggles they might want! Will generally keep dogs away from other dogs unless you expressly tell me they enjoy meeting strangers. For cats, I like to give them their space at first so they can decide on their own that they want my attention; I’m thrilled when they decide to trust me and take treats and/or pets.

About: I've looked after all sorts of cats and dogs since I was twelve. My friends, family, and neighbors always count on me to feed, clean up after, play with, cuddle, and generally care for their pets when they're away. I'm currently working part-time with a flexible schedule (4 hours a day), which means I can create my own schedule and am available to care for your pets before or after my work hours. I'm very patient and gentle with the pets. Will have them around me most of the day. Will have crates to keep them safe if needed!
