Appreciated his flexibility with our schedule and refunding us a day when we came back a day early. River, Berkeley and I are very appreciative, thank you Matt!”

19. Melissa A.
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. Also, I can clean ears as well. If you would love a kind dog care giver please contact me! I work part time and my schedule is flexible so I can fit my time around you and your pets needs. I can’t wait to meet you. I can come to your home and take your pets for walks, feedings, and even give them baths. Of course they will receive lots of love!
20. John V.
About: I’ve had the opportunity to work with a premier pet care company in Downtown Austin, for 2.5 years! I loved working with dogs in all stages of life! I offer pet chauffeuring, walking, boarding, and all the dog love and cuddles possible! I own my own company and am often home through out the day! I live on the trail at lady bird lake, and often enjoy walking along it with the pups! I take my dog hiking on the weekends and will bring along guest pups when permitted by the parents! All pups do a meet and greet in my place before and boarding is done. This allows them to get a feel for the space before the stay, meet my pup, and for me to make sure everyone is a good fit! Visiting puppers have free access in the house and are allowed on the bed/furniture when permitted by the parents. Dogs are not crated unless requested by the parents, and are kept in separate rooms when I’m not home or during quiet time.
