“Khush was absolutely wonderful with our 9 yr old English Bulldog, Jax, and she exceeded our expectations!! She took such great care of Jax while we were away for six days, doing three drop-in visits per day.

Although things didn’t go as smoothly as we had hoped since Jax had two accidents where he got sick, Khush was super patient and positive throughout, providing constant communication and photos. I feel like Khush really made an effort to make sure Jax was comfortable and having a good time by playing with him and embracing his quirky & weird personality. Lol. I could tell Jax was enjoying his time with a new buddy! Thank you, Khush!!!”

About: I’ve been dog sitting or living with dogs since 2013. I’ve taken care of both small dogs and dogs up to 120 pounds. I would love to get to know your dog, take them for a walk, or toss their favorite ball or toy to help them burn off some energy. I work from home and am usually done in the early afternoon. I would love to come stop by and check on your pet during lunch or after work! I treat each pet like my own spoiled baby. I want to learn the way they want to be loved and which toys are their favorite. I have a cat who doesn’t like to be pet to I understand each pet is unique and want to make sure they are all comfortable.

About: My name is Melissa. I have walked dogs a lot and also worked at a dog kennel for over a year. Its great exercise and I also just love animals a lot. I would truly enjoy taking care of your furbaby. I am very mindful so your pet will be in great hands and get the exercise and play they deserve. I am comfortable with small and large dogs. At the kennel I worked at I did do bathing, brush outs, and nail trims as well. I also worked with a drimmel. I would not mind giving baths as long as the shampoo and towels were provided.

About: Growing up, I rescued and cared for all kinds of animals—from dogs and cats to birds, turtles, and ducks. With over 17 years of hands-on experience, my love for animals runs deep, and dogs have always held a special place in my heart. I’ve had the joy of caring for friends’ and family members’ dogs over the years, providing everything from feeding, bathing, and training to daily walks and fun trips to the dog park. Nothing brings me more happiness than spending time with these amazing fur babies! I offer a great setup for pups to enjoy: a private, fenced-in dog park on my property that’s rarely used by others, a convenient dog wash station, and a nearby trail for peaceful walks. I’m more than happy to follow your dog’s routine—including crate training and any special instructions—to make sure they feel safe and at home. I also have a playful 5 - year-old Labrador who loves meeting new friends and is very used to being around other dogs. If your pup enjoys company, they’ll have a great buddy to play with! Feel free to Contact me for special requests or specific accommodations needed for your pup! I can be flexible with my schedule to work with yours. I have a large field and a trail nearby that we can utilize daily. I also have a pup myself so if you prefer they remain separate I can absolutely accommodate that.

About: As my family dog is 17 years old, I have loved caring for dogs for as long as I can remember. Growing up I always took care of friends and neighbors animals and now continue to do so with my friends and roommates in Austin. I am a nurse so my schedule is very flexible. I live very close to the trail at lady bird lake and love taking long walks on the trail with my dogs! My home has a small, playful, loving Frenchie (roommate’s dog) but I can also travel to other homes to provide care. I am very flexible and attentive!
