Dog Walking In Overlook

“Kate is amazing and my dog is enjoying the plentiful belly rubs she's getting!”

About: I have always been told I have a special touch with animals. When you’re away you want more than a pet sitter, you want your best friend to get some quality time! I work four days a week, and outside of that I have a very flexible schedule with no other major commitments, so I’m able to give pets plenty of time, attention, and consistency. Caring for animals is something I genuinely love, not just something I fit in, which means I’m present, attentive, and happy to adjust my day around what each pet needs to feel comfortable and cared for. I provide attentive, reliable care in your home by keeping your pet’s routine consistent and stress free. I’m great at following directions, and have a lot to offer when it comes to companionship, playtime, and a calm presence. For dog walks, I can accommodate your dog’s needs surrounding exercise, enrichment, and safety. I also send regular updates so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.

“Good with communication and dog enjoyed the walk!”

About: Hi ✨ I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of experience—from high-energy athletes to seniors requiring a gentler pace. Having lived with a sassy Shih Tzu and a spry Goldendoodle, I’ve learned that every pet has distinct needs that require a patient, observant eye. I believe the best walks come from maintaining the consistency of your dog’s established outdoor routine. Whether it’s navigating a favorite neighborhood route, practicing consistent leash manners, or ensuring they get the specific physical engagement they need, I’ll care for your pup with the same devotion I’d give my own. I’m a Product Designer currently taking a career break, which means I have the unique advantage of a completely flexible schedule. I can offer consistent, reliable morning or midday walks to keep your furry friends happy and stress-free while you’re busy. My schedule is always up-to-date, so you can rest assured that when you see a green light on my calendar, I am truly available and ready to prioritize your pet’s routine. I’m happy to stick to your pup's favorite neighborhood routes or head to a nearby local park if they prefer a bit more open space for their stroll. I’m an active walker and love ensuring they get the specific physical engagement they need to come home happy and exercised.

About: I was raised as an animal lover in a home with two dogs, two cats, and one bearded dragon! My appreciation extends to creatures great and small -- I have performed some light farm-sitting. I have pet & house-sat since highschool and I feel comfortable and confident with: large dogs, reactive dogs, pets with special medication needs, and skittish or hostile cats. I want to make sure your pet is getting the care they need from me; I can give pets and comfort to a senior kitty, or make sure your pup has sniffed everything in a one mile radius! I'm currently working part time and I should have flexible availability for what service you're looking for. Please feel free to message me about any specifics you have questions about! I want to ensure your pet's routine stays as close to usual as possible so they are happy and healthy! When I've cared for reactive dogs, I did my best to walk routes that avoided potential triggers. To follow medication schedules, I will try my hardest to trick even the most suspicious pet into taking their medicine. I will take care of your pet as you'd like me to!

“Kira is so communicative and easy to work with! She’s very through in the “rover cards” and I have so much peace of mind knowing my pup is being cared for by her.”

“Carissa was awesome- she immediately connected with Hank and he absolutely loved her time with her. Will definitely be working with her again 💙🐶”

“Jaide is awesome! She bonded with Mischa almost immediately, every day she was looking for Jaide to show up. She was friendly, energetic, and she loved taking Mischa on her walks! Highly recommend her!!”

Gary J.

“Emily was available on short notice and Bean loved his walk with her.”

Meredith L.

“Phoebe did an amazing job with my husky and Great Pyrenees, who can both be difficult. I was anxious to ask for help but Phoebe was so kind, patient and attentive. She relieved me of so much stress and took phenomenal care of my pups. I would highly recommend her to everyone!”

Tristyn M.

“Byron helped me out in a pinch and accepted a same-day walk when I was laid up with Covid. It was our first time with any walker, but my dog Lance seemed to love him right away and came home happy and tired (exactly what he and I both needed).”

Ting X.

“Chloe loved her walk with Kristin! She immediately felt safe and secure and connected immediately with Kristin! I highly recommend her to walk your dog!”

About: I grew up loving and caring for animals.. and eventually turned it into a career. I have since moved on to different passions, work-wise, but still prioritize spending as much of my free time around animals as I can. In addition to caring for pets for family and friends over the years, I was previously employed as a dog walker at Austin Pets Alive! animal shelter; I have years of experience working with dogs of all sizes, energies, and unique medical and behavioral needs. Let me love your pups! I currently work remotely and self-scheduled, so I am flexible to meet you and your animals’ needs! Feel free to reach out and I’m sure we can find something that works for all of us! My cats are spoiled now that I work from home, and they love the attention they get from me… and making appearances on video calls to steal attention from my coworkers, as well. Because one of my cats is FIV+, I am careful which animals come into my own home. However, should I visit your home, I understand that I am responsible for maintaining a positive and professional relationship by staying animal-focused in your home.

“Our very energetic cattle dog mix, Brinkley, who is sometimes hesitant about strangers loved Alexander from the very first walk. Brinkley also loved playing with Buford. Alex is communicative, reliable, and just has a sense for what dogs need!”

Jenna A.

“Sofia is amazing, so responsible, kept me informed at all times if she was going to be late ( we had bad weather) and would still make it to her walk. I would recommend Sofia to anyone.”

Theresa K.

“Stella really warmed up to you…We are looking forward to you walking her weekdays!”

Jeanne B.

“Baeli was a very responsive communicator and responsible dog walker— altogether, great to work with!”

About: I've been taking care of pets for friends and family since I was old enough to pour kibble and fill water bowls! I grew up with two dogs, three cats, and friends and family with farms and ranches, giving me experience working with everything from lizards to horses. I love connecting with critters and ensuring their physical AND emotional needs stay a top priority. Experience includes: walks, structured playtime, behavioral observation and modification, photography, light grooming, medicine administration, and boarding. I work part-time with a lot of flexibility, and while I get time to interact with my friends' and neighbor's pets, I can always make time to add another set of paws to the mix. Typically, when providing care, I like to meet and greet in advance of whatever service--be it walks, check-ins, daycare, or overnights--to start off socializing with a particular pet on the right foot. I also ask for typical routines (including dietary particulars and medicine), off-limits areas and behaviors, as well as favorite toys, games, and treats! I always bring a few things to keep myself occupied in case of pets who like to do their own thing, but usually a lot of the time is spent directly supporting your companion through play, feeding, and snuggles!

About: I have a dog with seizures and I understand how much care is needed to care for him. I will treat your dog(s) with that same care and significance. I work early morning hours Thursday through Monday. I'm off work by 10:30am and can be available to walk, feed, administer medicatios and do drop in visits 7 days a week. I live in an apartment downtown that has a secured entry. I have a collapsible travel kennel that can hold a small to medium sized dog, I also have a wood kennel that can hold a pet up to 20lbs with plenty of room to spare. My 20lb Boston Terrier fits in it comfortably with enough room to stand up and turn around without any discomfort.

About: I grew up on a family animal farm and have professional experience in animal husbandry so I am comfortable caring for all kinds of animals including livestock, birds, reptiles, and fish. I have also had dogs and cats my whole life and am a proud cat owner. I am reliable, attentive, and I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I will treat your pets like my own 🐾 I’m currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I am available most weekends as well. I follow their routine closely to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. I make sure feeding, walks, and any special instructions are done exactly as requested, and I prioritize safety at all times. I also keep the home clean and provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pets are in good hands.
