Dog Walking Old West Austin

About: I've taken care of stray cats. When I moved to Austin, I decided to pet sit. I had great experiences with pet sitting cats and dogs. I enjoy taking care of cats. I enjoy walking dogs. I keep communication with pictures and updates. I can administer medication, keep them on a routine, and play and cuddle with them. I know it's important to take care of your lovely fur babies! I've gained so much exposure through another pet sitting site. I have maintained a stellar 5-star throughout my pet sitting journey. I do pet sitting for fun! I have started petsitting, besides the stray cats I used to take care of. My schedule is updated constantly. My schedule is open to Monday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday. I am a reliable pet sitter. I am a solo sitter. I am caring, responsible, and neat. I like to leave things the way you left them, and I do a great job at cleaning up after myself. If there are any house rules, I follow them!

About: Do you have a dachshund that you’re nervous to leave in someone else’s care because of how unique they are? I completely understand. I was the same way with mine. Dachshunds have their own little quirks, and their backs require some extra care. I know how important it is to have someone who understands how to properly pick them up and why you don’t want them constantly jumping off beds or couches. My home has stairs leading up to both, so they can get where they want to go without putting unnecessary stress on their backs. My husband and I also work from home full-time with flexible jobs, so your Velcro pup won’t be left alone. I’m able to give them lots of attention, hang out with them throughout the day, and take them outside as many times as they need. 5–6 times a day? No worries! I’ve watched multiple dachshunds for friends I’ve met through our local dachshund meetup, and I’ve really enjoyed getting to know each of them and their little personalities. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dachshund with someone else, and I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re in good hands. I decided to offer my services on Rover because I know what it’s like to be new to town and not have someone you trust to watch your dog. If you’re looking for someone who already understands dachshunds and all their little quirks, I’d love to meet you and your pup! My husband and I work from home every day, so we are at the beck and call of your pup! Whatever they need, I can provide: all day cuddles, potty outside breaks, mid-day walks… you name it. I have a knack for reading animal behavior- dogs have very clear warning signs when they’re on edge, shy, excited, etc. I will make sure your pet stays safe and comfortable and avoid any situations that may cause any doubt

About: What sets me apart is the level of care, attention, and reliability I give every pet. I understand that pets are family, and I treat them that way. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, likes, and needs so they feel comfortable and safe while in my care. I’m dependable, communicative, and happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Whether your pet needs extra playtime, long walks, patience, cuddles, or simply someone they can trust, I make sure they receive personalized care and plenty of attention. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I currently work part time, which gives me the flexibility to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I genuinely enjoy being around animals, and spending time with them is actually one of my favorite ways to relieve stress and recharge my batteries. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, giving them attention, or simply relaxing together, I really enjoy the companionship animals bring. My schedule allows me to be dependable, flexible, and present, so your pet gets the care, affection, and attention they deserve. Caring for animals never feels like a chore to me, it’s something I truly look forward to. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any special instructions provided by the owner. In my home, I make sure pets have a clean, comfortable, and calm environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. In a client’s home, I respect both their space and their pet’s routine, keeping everything as familiar as possible so the pet feels less stressed while their owner is away. I also pay close attention to each pet’s personality and behavior, because every animal is different. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident knowing their pet is being well cared for.

“Paige is so awesome with my boy Benny! What a gift she is as I was so worried about leaving my boy. She is so attentive and loving with him. 🤗”

“Jeremy is a great Rover walker. It’s so hot outside that we needed to bump back the time of the walks and just mostly play indoors and he is very accommodating. Our dog loves seeing him each day!”

Haley V.

“Tarak was awesome! Will definitely hire him again!”

Martha S.

“Rachel came and helped me very last minute for dog walking when I had long work days! She was very responsive and so easy to work with and my pets are very happy :-)”

Grace M.

“Paige was a great communicator, always on time, and took care to give feedback on how the walk went. I'd book her again to walk Rosie anytime!”

Jacqui S.

“Heidi walked our dog for 4 days while we were out of town. I absolutely recommend her because she genuinely cares for each furbaby as if they were her own. She asked a lot of questions during her initial meeting with us and even took down her own notes. She was on time for each walk, gave detailed updates and sent a picture for every walk. I can tell she really cares and really made the extra effort to make sure my baby was comfortable and happy while we were away.”

About: Hey there, welcome to my Rover profile! My name is Irene and I’m a vet tech and surgery tech at a local animal hospital here in central Austin, so I bring hands-on medical experience and a calm, confident approach to every pet I care for. I’m very comfortable administering medications, reading behavior, and making sure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I did take a break from Rover while I focused on growing my career in veterinary medicine, which is why my reviews are from a few years ago. Now that I’m settled into my role, I’m really excited to be back and care for pets in my community outside of the clinic too! I offer drop-in visits during my lunch breaks, after work around 6:30pm, and I’m open to weekday and weekend sitting when needed. I also have experience with senior dogs. My own pup lived to be 15 and needed medications and diaper changes, so I truly understand the extra patience and gentle care they need. I’d love to meet your pets and make sure they feel happy, safe, and totally loved while you’re away! 🐾 Pet care fits seamlessly into my weekly routine. I work four days during the week at an animal hospital, and I typically take lunch between 12–2pm, which allows me to provide midday walks, check-ins, or medication visits. I’m also available after work around 6:30pm, as well as on weekends when overnight stays are needed at my home. This allows for consistent care and reliable routines for your pet throughout the week. Safety, structure, and comfort are my top priorities. With my veterinary background, I’m experienced in reading behavior cues, managing stress in animals, and ensuring pets are handled safely and appropriately in all situations. In your home, I maintain your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to reduce stress and keep them comfortable in their familiar environment. At my home, I have a secure backyard that is double fenced and reinforced with chicken wire for added safety. I also have a large kennel available if a pet ever needs their own space or structured downtime. Because I have two energetic and social dogs, I only accept dogs that are friendly with others and comfortable in a multi-dog environment and are not prone to potty accidents.

“Otto really enjoyed his walks with David. Otto was very excited every time David came to walk him. David was flexible, punctual, and highly communicative. We would definitely hire David again to walk Otto.”

“Kianna was super friendly, and came prepared with toys and treats. My dog had a wonderful time”

About: I'm hoping to find a sweet dog that is looking for a sweet girl to visit and walk with daily. If that's your dog, please send them my way. My goal is to make you and your pet feel comfortable while you're away. I'm extremely responsible, professional, and respectful of your home and privacy, not to mention kind of a clean freak. Your dog will love all the attention they receive while we relax, watch Netflix, and cuddle. Did I mention the hundreds of belly rubs they'll get while I'm there. That's included at no additional cost. What started out as taking care of friends and family's pets has turned into a genuine love for this business. I love each and every pet I care for and have formed special bonds with them all. I personally don't have pets which allows me the flexibility to care for yours, as well as fill my life with great joy getting to know them. I hope to meet your sweet loved ones and continue to have the best job in the world. I walk dogs daily and have a set schedule with them. I'm looking to add more dogs to my rotation between the hours of 10 and 5, Monday thru Friday. I have stayed in many homes without incident and pride myself in the respect I show to your possessions. I will take care of your pets in the comfort of their own home and surroundings to put them at ease while their family is away.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their fur babies while their lives are busy! It brings me a lot of joy to take care and connect with animals. I work from home Wednesdays + Fridays from 9:30-5:30. Tuesdays and Thursdays I have flexibility because my partner works from home and can help too! This schedule allows us the freedom to feed, walk, and be with your animal babies a lot! While at home, we have a small fenced in yard, perfect for pet sitting at our house. Whether they're in my home or a client's home, I am always making sure waters bowls are full, pets are loved, and they are happy and behaving normally.

“I’m so glad I found Brittany! She is reliable, kind and responsible. I’m a nurse who works long shifts and it’s a nice feeling to know I have someone I can rely on when I’m gone. She always sends a few photos and updates for me which are much appreciated.”

On weekends, I’m also home and fully available, so your pet will never be without attention or companionship.

I’m home throughout the day and night, so your pet will never be left alone or without attention.
