Dog Walking Riverside

About: I’ve taken care of 3 Samoyeds most of my life, after their passing i’ve always had a special place in my heart for dogs. I am able to handle very large pups and very tiny pups!! I grew up learning how to take care of my oldest Samoyed (12) all the way to my youngest Samoyed (1). I love going for long walks and I know your dog does too! I also have many years of experience babysitting children with puppies and am able to juggle multiple energetic personalities. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup best friend😊 “Dogs are not our whole lives, but they make our lives whole.”

“Amelia is great! She’s been prompt and great, we had some issues with the building elevator etc and was ready to accommodate and make sure my pup was taken care of. I couldn’t recommend her more, she’s been great and I look forward to rebooking with her in the future 🙂”

“Our boy loves walks with Lillian! We’ve been regulars with Lillian for a few months now. She is dependable, responsive, and flexible if plans change or we need coverage. Thank you for taking such good care of our guy!”

Maya F.

“Very communicative and responsible with our young and vivacious puppy. Christian worked her flawlessly on walks, reinforcing some training we’ve been doing while adapting to any particular needs she had that day. I would highly recommend!”

James & Grace B.

“James was awesome with my new puppy! Our adoption timeline got moved up and he was completely accommodating to do a last minute meet and greet and recurring dog walk appointment.”

Chris T.

“John came through last minute when I came down with a bad cold, he was so kind to myself and Juno & took her on a nice long walk twice, the same day. I definitely recommend John!”

About: I have 3 years of hands-on pet care experience with a diverse range of animals, specializing in dog and cat care, with additional expertise caring for chickens, lizards, bunnies, and other pets. My clients appreciate my flexibility, attention to detail, and ability to handle both young puppies and senior pets with equal care and patience. I'm currently pursuing my dog behavioral training certification through GoodPup, giving me deeper insight into pet behavior and communication. I also bring an EVERLIT Pet First Aid Kit with me to every booking and walk—your pet's safety is my priority. What sets me apart is my commitment to exclusive, focused care. I don't have my own pets and I never double-book: your pet gets my complete, undivided attention. I work from home with flexible hours, which means I'm available throughout the day for their needs: morning and afternoon visits in a single day, weekend availability, or multi-week house sitting. This flexibility is especially valuable for puppies, seniors, and high-energy dogs that need consistent attention. My clients appreciate knowing their pet is receiving dedicated care in a calm, stress-free environment where I prioritize safety, respect your home, communicate transparently, and tailor care to each pet's unique personality. I work from home with very flexible hours, which allows me to easily accommodate your pet's needs: House Sitting: Full-time presence in your home with availability throughout the day and overnight. I'm particularly great for puppies and senior dogs that need consistent attention. No extra cost for pets requiring constant care. Regular Visits: I'm flexible around your schedule and can easily manage both morning and afternoon visits in a single day. I'm always available on weekends and can adjust timing based on your needs. Flexibility: I'm comfortable with extended multi-week bookings. My work-from-home setup means your pet never feels alone. I'm genuinely present throughout the day, working in your common areas while providing company and regular updates. I always prioritize the safety and well-being of the pets I care for. I ensure they're comfortable, follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, and engage in playtime tailored to their needs. I keep the environment clean, respect clients' homes, and communicate regularly to maintain trust and transparency. If it's my first time caring for your pet, I provide an optional care guide for you to fill out with questions about your pet like walking routes, food schedule, favorite toys, and more. For house sits specifically, this includes questions like where cleaning supplies are located and house care preferences like watering plants and getting mail.

About: I’m a huge animal lover and grew up surrounded by all kinds of pets, including dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, bunnies, and parrots. I’ve also regularly watched family members’ and friends’ pets while they’re away on trips, so I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, giving pets attention and exercise, and making sure they feel safe and cared for. Having experience with such a wide variety of animals, I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines, and needs. I’m a recent Texas State University graduate who just moved to Austin, and I’d love to spend my free time caring for pets while getting settled into my new place. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own, with patience, attention, and plenty of love! I’m currently available throughout the week and have open availability on weekends. Until September 1st, my schedule is very flexible, so I can accommodate different routines and pet care needs. Starting September 1st, I’ll begin my full time job, but I’ll still be available after around 4–5 PM on weekdays and throughout the weekends. I’m happy to work with your schedule and make sure your pets receive consistent, dependable care. Growing up, my pets were always kept on a consistent schedule, which helped keep them happy, comfortable, and well-adjusted. I would feed them and take them for a walk in the morning around 7 AM, give them additional walks and attention throughout the day, and then feed and walk them again around 7 PM. When caring for your pets, I’ll make sure to follow their normal routines as closely as possible. I understand that every pet is different, so I’ll prioritize their safety, comfort, and individual needs while treating them with the same care and attention I would give my own pets.

“Jacob was great with Hank! Stepped in last minute and did a wonderful job. Great communication and very easy going. Will definitely use again and highly recommend”

“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. 🤗”

About: I’ve grown up with and taken care of animals all my life. I have a 9 year old cat and 15 month old dog. They are my pride and joy. I also have experience with elderly dogs and cats. I am currently in between jobs and have plenty of time on my hands. I am available to pet sit all week and most weekends. I live in an apartment complex with a dog park. I also have a 15 month old pup who I take for walks at least 3 times a day. He’s great with other dogs both small and large and he lives with a cat. He’ll keep your pets company.

“Khush was so easy to communicate with and did a great job with our two Corgis. The pictures were adorable and we can’t wait to have her back!”

Elly P.

“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.

“Kathryn is so great with my wild Millie girl. I trust her to keep her safe on walks and manage her if some other dogs get too sassy! Millie is sweet but also a 90 lb handful so I really appreciate Kathryn’s handling of her. Will be using her again!”

About: Took a break from Rover as my job was more demanding but now back to having more flexibility and being remote full-time and want to put meaningful time back into Rover. During my time away from the app, I still continued to care for neighbors and friends animals. From puppies to older dogs that require a slower pace and / or specific care instructions. I grew up with dogs, so I have had the opportunity to care for a variety of dogs at all different ages and health conditions. I'm very adaptable to what they need. Have cared for dogs that love a lot of outdoor time and others that just want to lay on the couch. Have also cared for dogs that need special care - inclusive of special diets / eating times, administering medication and behavioral issues with people and other animals. I love love a good game of catch and never get tired of giving belly rubs and scratches behind the ear. I'm work from home full-time, so have plenty of time to care for your dog or cat. I can do walks any time of the day, head to the park or spend time with them in the house so they aren’t alone all day. For dogs, I have no issues taking them on a drive or in a store, if you are comfortable with that as well! I grew up with cats and dogs and currently have two cats of my own and share a backyard with my neighbor that has a dog. I’d care for them as I do the ones I am around every day. They are part of the family! Lots of love :) Most importantly I understand they are all different. So in order to provide the right care, I’ll take the time to ask the right questions and understand your pet so they get the care they need and deserve while you are away.

About: Cooper and I love all animals. I’ve had dogs for 20+ years and have had multiple years of experience caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes. I promise your furry friend will be in good hands! I work full time, but can let dogs out during my lunch hour and can take care of dogs after 5 pm during the work week. On the weekends, we are fully able to take care of dogs throughout the day. We live in an apartment complex but have close access to the trail and an open dog park. I have a corgi; but can crate if needed. Your dogs safety is my first concern. Whatever you need, we can adapt!

About: I have cared for and watched dogs all my life! Love taking them on walks for some good exercise for us both! I also have my own dog (currently not so me in city) and he was very high energy, so I am used to that as well. All dogs are welcome! I would be able to take any lunchtime walk in between 12 pm-1 pm and also 5pm-7pm. Can be flexible if any other time is requested, just please let me know and I can work it out. I am sure to be careful and watch them on a frequent basis to ensure that they are comfortable and happy. Work from home so I can keep a watchful eye on them! I have a pretty spacious apartment so lots of room for them to roam around. When it comes to walking, I have many paths and walkable areas by me as well.

“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: Hello Friends! I'm a reliable and experienced pet sitter with over 5 years of caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I live two blocks from a dog park and right off the Lady Bird Lake trail, so if your pup loves to walk or go on a sniffari, say less. However, if your pet prefers lounging/cuddles, I’m happy to keep things calm and cozy at home; after all, it's their vacation too! I’m extremely attentive to each pet’s needs, routines, and quirks, and always treat pets like family. Whether it's active play or chill companionship, my goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Currently working full time in a hybrid role- 3 minute walk to my office. I am able walk home to accommodate any special pet needs, let them out, feed, etc. if I am working from my office that day; I usually go home during my lunch to see my doggo and let him out/go for a walk. I live in an apartment complex that is very dog friendly. The property is gated and provides multiple open areas for pets to hang out, go to the bathroom, and/or exercise. My home has multiple rooms if you require your pet to be crated or would like their own space. I also live close to Lady Bird trail for walks and a couple blocks away from a dog park if your pet loves to be social! My dog and I average about 3-5 miles throughout the day and can accommodate your pet's needs as well!

About: I have had many different animals growing up, including big dogs and also small dogs which I feel super comfortable around both. I have cared for many different breeds of dogs, including a 6 month old puppy with a heart murmur. I’ve also taken care of many different cats all different breeds! I have cared for many of my friend’s pets before and have had many different animals growing up. I love getting to meet new animals and making sure you feel like your pet is in good hands because i’d want to feel the same way as well! I am pretty flexible with my hours / time. I work from home so I am usually super open and can make time within the day. I care for them depending on the specific needs that they have. If they need space I will make that work to make them feel as comfortable as possible. I have two cats that are completely opposite and need different things, I think it is really important for them to feel safe and comfortable.
