Dog Walking in Parker Lane, Austin

“I've got a senior dog with health issues who has been wearing the cone of shame. Jackson never gave up and continuously showed up to take care of my pup, make sure her needs were met until she adjusted just fine. Working odd hours is stressful, but knowing my pup is being taking care of with consistent care has helped me so much. Also, his communication is clear and he's very friendly!”

About: I grew up caring for a variety of family pets and have watched many of my friend’s pets here in the city. I have a cat of my own and understand the anxiety that can arise when leaving them for even a short period. I am communicative, patient, and reliable. I mainly work from home so I have the flexibility for daily drop-in visits and can accommodate your schedule to ensure your pet’s needs are met. I am trustworthy and conscientious in all my work. I prioritize the security of your living space and safety if your pet. I’m happy to send regular text updates and pictures of your pet when I visit.

“Madeline was so prompt and thoughtful in her care for Cooper! The detailed walk recaps and photos mean so much to me when I’m stuck at work away from home. I will absolutely re-book.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my deep understanding of both pet behavior and care. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I having had dogs most of my life, I understand the importance of routine, exercise, and mental stimulation. Your pet won’t just be cared for—they’ll thrive and be loved in your absence. I currently work from home, so I am immediately available to take them on walks, etc. I understand the importance of routine in our lives. I have quick access to lovely dog-friendly spaces downtown. I can accommodate your dog’s crate with ease. My lovely building is filled with great pets.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for family and friends since I was in middle school. I have also been working for a local pet care business in ATX for the past 7 months. I provide multiple daily dog walks up to an hour long and have tons of experience doing overnight care in clients homes. I have my own dog and live with a cat currently so I’m very experienced in various types of pet care. I love fur babies of all different kinds and would love to meet yours! My availability is pretty much open so I can take care of your pets whenever you need! Weekdays and weekends are available for over night care, day time care, or even just a quick walk! I am flexible and willing to work with your schedule. I will spend quality time with your pet and ensure they feel comfortable and safe with me in your home. I will monitor them closely when taking them outside and I can crate train them if needed as well. I will not be gone for long periods of time and can frequently check on them throughout the day or do work from home while at your place. I will do what works best for your pets personal needs.

“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.”

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.

About: A firm believer in we don’t deserve animals! But since we have them, we should do everything in our power to keep their little hearts safe, loved, and supported. I grew up with a few rescues and a golden doodle named Malibu, who was the first pet I ever took care of on my own. I’ve volunteered at local shelters for several years in addition to watching my friends pets frequently here in Austin. I now am a proud dog mom of two, Seamus and Bailey! Shea loves to cuddle on top of you, stare at trees, and prefers to lead during his walks. Bae needs home cooked meals every night and enjoys cold water from the refrigerator. They both live with my boyfriend elsewhere but I’ve learned a great deal on taking care of pets and their various needs. I have a lot of free time on my hands! Very flexible and willing to help out fur babies and their owners as much as I can! My first priority is getting to know the dog and making sure everyone’s comfy. I live with my best friend who works fully remote so if I truly had to step away for something, the pet would have company. Right now my situation gives me a lot of free time so my attention is all theirs. I love to be outside so if your pet needs walks and exercise, I’m your gal. Would never put them in a situation where they feel uncomfortable. I’ve watched my friends dog for several years now and he’s a rescue with major anxiety and aggression with other dogs so I feel confident working with pets that have some trauma and need a little extra attention and care.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover (yes, my first email was animalluver4life@hotmail). I grew up with nine dogs — each with their own Christmas stocking — and now have two pups and one very loved cat at home. I’ve cared for senior dogs, special needs pets, and cats of all kinds. Whether your pet wants cuddles or space, I’ll make sure they feel safe and loved. I have been working from home since 2020 which means my dogs are used to going in and out whenever they’d like. Happy to accommodate any eating or medicine schedule based on the animals needs. I am able to check on/or walk animals in other household at any time, as I make my own schedule. I have been told I’m kind of a “helicopter parent” when it comes to my dogs but that comes in handy when dog sitting! I have a fenced yard, two little dogs, and animals are allowed on furniture! I am fine with separating my dogs, if that’s preferred - I have the space! Guests will have first priority, of course. I have experience with crated dogs and do have my own large crate here.

“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: Looking to care for your fur babies to fund my wedding in 2026! I am a dog mom of 4 dogs; Uzi (Pitbull), Dash (Corgi Mix), Blaize (Chihuahua), Nala (Shiba). I love all my puppers and would provide the same amount of love to your puppers. All of my dogs are friendly but if you are looking for me to board your dog, please let me know as I can stay at my friends house without my dogs. I work from home on Monday and Friday. I am in office from Tuesday to Thursday. My hours are very flexible which includes weekends. Message me for my availabilities! I am very attentive to dogs! I love to play with them if it’s outside playing fetch or inside playing with toys. I love to take my dogs on walks because it allows me to reach my daily step goals.

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.

“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!!”

“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!”

Tracey C.

“Malery has been great! She has been walking my dog Tink most days for about a month, and Tink is so excited to see her each morning. She has great communication, and when something came up, she let me know if plenty of time so that I could ask another walker to come. Will most definitely ask her to help again!”

Rebecca B.

“Lauren is amazing. She is very reliable and took very good care of Izzy. Izzy can be shy when she meets new people, but she liked Lauren right away. I would definitely ask her to take care of Izzy again.”
