About: I've always grown up around dogs since I had two family dogs and my mom does dog sitting as a side job. I helped her a lot in high school so I have a lot of experience with this work. I love dogs and would love to take care of yours! I'm currently a college student at UT, I don't have anything going on in the summer so I'm mostly free anytime. I have a lot of time on my hands so I'll make sure to take good care of your pets When I enter other people's homes for pet care work, I make sure to leave the area clean and tidy. Always make sure the doors are locked and the pets are safe

About: I’ve always been the go-to for my friends dog & Kittie watch so I want to extend my help and love. I have experience with APA dog walking, local neighbors dogs and drop in’s for kittens whose owners are out of town! I’m an athlete so can provide high energy care. I’m a young professional who is on PTO through the summer months. I will be working remote from home come August so is flexible to help your needs! I can spend as much as an hour with you early mornings and evenings. I have summer off remotely so I am available anytime! I’m an early riser so love a good sunrise walk. Happy to work around your schedule I have 2 cats of my own and have fostered through APA. I have a safe house with a small patio for sunshine and play

About: My family always had labradors growing up, I learned how to take care of animals the right way. Every dog deserves to go to bed the right kind of tired every night, having been loved and given exercise for the mind and body. A restless pup is truly heartbreaking to me, so if all your dog needs is some attention or if they need a long walk with lots of time to smell, I can help out. I’m only working part time right now, and I need something to fill the gaps. I’m a morning person mostly just because I hate afternoon traffic. I have a big backyard and comfy apartment, I can accommodate anything your pet needs. Also if you have specific instructions for your pup I can follow them to the T.

Brandy was great with my cat Rudy while I was abroad. She took care of all of his needs and was super handy and helped readjust his water fountain, food dispenser, and even my camera when he knocked them down. She’s been really fantastic, especially seeing as Rudy was a little skittish and shy at first, but she took the time to get him to be comfortable around her. Thanks Brandy for your help!

About: I bring over a year and a half of professional experience working with cats, handling everything from daily care routines to administering a variety of medications and basic medical support. I also have six months of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from energetic puppies to large breeds like Mastiffs, and am comfortable meeting the needs of pets with different personalities and care requirements. I work full-time at an animal shelter, so providing attentive, compassionate care for animals is part of my daily routine. My early morning schedule allows me to spend the second half of my day focusing on giving your pets plenty of attention, care, and love. I share my home with a kitty who means the absolute world to me. He’s the sweetest boy and is always waiting at the door for cuddles the moment I get home. I make sure to keep life fun and enriching for him every day, whether that’s a long play session, brushing (his favorite) or a special treat. Because of how much I care for my own pet and pets at work, I understand how important it is to give animals the love, attention, and patience they deserve, and I’m confident I can provide that same level of care for your pets.

About: Reliable Austin-based dog walker providing safe, attentive, and personalized care for dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I’m committed to making every walk fun, stress-free, and dependable for both pets and owners. I currently am the manager of a restaurant in the Barton springs area and am looking for something to do I am passionate about on weekdays. My hope is to get more weekdays off as my client list gets larger to be able to do this long term and offer more days. I usually walk myself for 2+ hours a day even when I do work so it’s right up my ally. I also have two pups of my own with my husband! I walk my dogs 2 times a day usually Morning and night. With a shorter potty break or two in between depending on their needs. Both of my dogs free feed and have a running water bowl that cycles thru but I have watched and cared for pets with many different requirements before. All animals are different just like we are!

Alyx was wonderful with Hex! She did drop-in visits and handled everything perfectly: keeping the litter clean, making sure he was fed, and clearly taking the time to make him feel at ease. Hex is my world, so it means a lot that he was totally comfortable with her. She also sent the cutest photos, which honestly made my day every time. Super responsive and reliable throughout. Would absolutely book again, highly recommend her!
