Dog Walking Rosewood

“Highly recommended!”

OMAR A C.

About: I had an older dog for four years that I love to take care of. I am flexible with the activity levels of your pets. I work remotely. My job is flexible, so I work from my home or somewhere else. I also am flexible on weekends for pet care. My complex is in a safe area and has an accessible walking trail. I have reliable transportation to get me to and from client’s home.

“Highly recommended!”

About: I spent 10 amazing years with my dog Olive, including providing dedicated care for her as a senior with special needs. Working remotely means I can give your pet plenty of time and attention, whether they are energetic and playful or calm and cuddly. I love ‘em all! I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to easily adapt my day around your pet’s needs. Whether they require frequent walks, playtime, or medication, that's no problem! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow any specific instructions you provide and keep a close eye on their well-being at all times.

“My dog loooooooves Erica! She is punctual and reliable and I can trust my dog is in great hands when we arent around. In a town where good help is hard to find, we are feeling super lucky!!”

About: I’ve spent pretty much my entire life surrounded by animals. Growing up in Greece, my parents and I regularly took in stray dogs and cats and gave them permanent homes. At our peak, we had four dogs and six cats at the same time, most of whom simply walked into our backyard one day and apparently thought, “Yep, this will do!” They never left. Since moving to Austin five years ago, I’ve been pet sitting for friends and, thanks to word of mouth, friends of friends (and eventually people I had never met, which I take as a good sign). I’ve cared for dogs and cats of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, and have been trusted with walks, check-ins, feeding, playtime, and overnight stays. I’m very comfortable around animals and fully accept that while you’re away, your pet is the boss and I’m merely the staff. And yes, that’s Anna, our Westie, in my profile picture. She still lives with my parents in Greece, and whenever I FaceTime them, she is required to appear on screen first. My parents have accepted their place in the hierarchy. I’m a graduate student at UT, which gives me a pretty flexible schedule. Even on days when I need to be on campus, I often come home during my lunch break.
 My days usually start around 6 a.m. with a workout and wind down around 10 p.m. with a book in bed, so I’m happy to accommodate both early risers and pets who take their beauty sleep very seriously. Walks, playtime, meals, check-ins, and plenty of attention can easily fit into my daily routine. If your pet loves a routine, I’m your person. I know how much animals rely on familiarity, especially when their humans are away, so I’ll follow their normal feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routines as closely as possible. I’m active and always happy to go for a long neighborhood walk—or, if you live downtown, your dog and I may become regulars on the trail. But I’m equally committed to the important work of doing absolutely nothing. If your pet prefers couch time, they’re welcome to join me while I read. I’ll handle the book; they can handle the naps. Above all, I’ll treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I’d want someone to show mine, and I’m happy to send plenty of updates and photos while you’re away.

About: I have been pet sitting and dog walking since 2016. I have experience with cats (kittens to seniors), dogs (puppies to seniors), rodents, fish and even plant care! I believe animals are special and unique in their own way and deserve love, care and respect. I currently have a very flexible work from home schedule. I am available for daily drop-ins and walks, Monday through Saturday from 8am to 8pm. I care for pets in their own home with mindfulness, respect, patience and safety. It’s crucial to be mindful in another’s space as well as calm to bring a peaceful energy for the pet.

About: In high school I briefly volunteered at Keller HSNT and then pivoted to volunteering at a no-kill, nonprofit animal shelter called Operation Kindness where I was trained to properly look after both dogs and cats! I volunteered there for several years and I was able to walk the dogs there too, learning how to provide them a calm walk and to deescalate their stress in response to their environment. Additionally, I have my own two sweet dogs back home and I always take them on long walks and adore caring for them. Since they’re my family’s dogs, I don’t consider caring for them as professional pet care experience, but I do want to mention that my love for Buster and Mojo has taught me a lot of the basics! Although I’ve taken both of them on walks together before, I would prefer to walk one dog at a time when it comes to other people’s dogs, given that I am less familiar with their temperaments and I want to ensure that everything goes smoothly! Other than that, I absolutely loveeee animals and I enjoy spending time with them! I’ve looked after several of my friends’ dogs before and have been paid to walk some of my neighborhood dogs in high school, as well as dog and cat-sit for them! As a sophomore at UT, classes and student org events are what primarily make up my schedule. I’m usually pretty free on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, because I have classes until 10am those days. On Tuesdays and Thursdays however, my time is more limited because I’m generally unavailable until late afternoon on those days. Caring for a pet at a client’s home includes being incredibly knowledgeable of my client’s boundaries regarding their home, as well as communicating important parts of their pet’s routine. Safety is incredibly essential, and I know that my time and attention towards their pet is crucial: I have never allowed myself to pay more attention to my phone or other things when what I should be paying the greatest level of attention to is the client’s pet.

“Shadin did an excellent job and went above and beyond to make sure my dog was happy and comfortable. I would highly recommend her :)”

“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: I almost became a veterinarian early on! I love all animals, especially dogs & cats. I was dog mom to an English Bulldog, Alfred, for his entire life from early puppyhood to elderly special needs guy. I lost him to lymphoma cancer in 2017. That being said, I have experience giving out medication, caring for puppies, kittens, tough old things and high patience for all animals. Love to give walks and good pets to all happy beasts. *Note* I do not schedule any services until a meet and greet is successfully set up and carried out for new clients. This is for not only my safety, but to ensure your pet is comfortable while meeting me with you there. Currently work from home and have a very flexible schedule for the time being. Once I have met your pet and we become acquainted I can provide picture updates and can be very communicative. I am used to using keypad entries or keyless entry if that is what you have and have lots of experience with all kinds of animals.

“Meg continues to be my hero with my doggo. She is so patient and kind, and I love knowing my dog is in good hands while I’m away. Thank you Meg!”

“Tiffany took great care of Sophie on very short notice. She had great communication throughout, and I would definitely recommend her.”

“Ashlynn is amazing! She’s been taking Ford on walks 3-5 days a week the past couple of months. She’s always on time, quick to reply and sends daily updates. We are lucky to have her help, since we have to work in the office. We can tell she cares and loves for him, which is all you can ask for!!”

About: I have fostered puppies for 11 years and part-time raised service dogs for 3 years. I’ve owned dogs and walked/taken care of dogs my whole life. I will make sure your dog receives the highest level of care and that all of their needs are met. I work fully remote, so I am available to care for your pet 7 days a week. I am an early riser and flexible with time, and can work from anywhere! I create a welcoming and comfortable for animals in my home, and allow them to trust me in theirs. I groom and train my service dogs frequently, am comfortable with feeding medications. I am happy to chill out, go for walks, snuggle, play, whatever will make your dog happy!

“Rickey dredged through a monsoon to take Zelda on a walk and cleaned up an accident she had. Great at communicating and willing to adjust on the fly.”

“Kirren has been giving our dog regular walks during the week and has been great! She is reliable and communicative and includes great photos in her walk reports”

About: I grew up with dogs and cats and have been a faithful companion to my black cat, Odysseus, for the last 14 years. I also have experience caring for fish, snakes, and rats! I am working part time so I usually have flexibility during the day between 11am and 10pm to take care of your animals. Weekends are more limited but I can usually find time for an early morning or late night check in. I will be incredibly respectful of your home and do my best to make your pets feel comfortable and loved while you are away. I'll send you lots of pictures and all the detailed updates you want on your pets!

About: Growing up in rural Texas, I have been surrounded by animals of all shapes and sizes since I was a child. We always had a family dog (or two, or three) that we cherished. Because of this love for animals, I later volunteered with the Animal Defense League of San Antonio, helping with the enrichment program for shelter animals. When I'm at my apartment in Austin, I enjoy spending time with my 6-year-old Siamese cat, Echo! Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, and I love helping pets stay happy, healthy, and active. I'm a full-time college student working an unpaid internship, so money and exercise are two very important needs that become difficult to achieve on such a tight schedule. With dog walking, I can help owners take care of their sweet pets, get some great exercise in, and make a bit of cash all at once! As I have familiarized myself with the northern side of Austin, I am well aware of quite serene walking trails that are perfect for walking a curious pup! I'll be sure to take your loved animal to a place where they feel safe and comfortable.

About: I've been a lifelong animal lover and am currently the proud dog mom of Dumpling, my 4-year-old Chihuahua-Terrier mix. Caring for my own dog has given me firsthand experience with daily walks, feeding routines, enrichment activities, training reinforcement, and understanding the unique personalities and needs that every dog has. In addition to caring for my own pet, I've also fostered dogs, helping them adjust to new environments, build confidence, and receive the patience and attention they need. Through fostering, I've gained experience working with dogs of different ages, temperaments, and energy levels. Friends and family have also trusted me to care for their pets while they're away, including walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and overnight care. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. My professional background has made me highly organized, communicative, and dependable. You can expect regular updates, photos, and prompt communication so you always know your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. Whether your dog loves long walks, active play, or simply having a calm companion around, I strive to create a positive and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners! Pet care fits very naturally into my routine since I have a flexible schedule during the week and on weekends. I’m able to accommodate morning, midday, and evening walks or drop-ins, and I can also provide overnight care when needed. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so integrating pet care into my day feels seamless rather than restrictive. I always plan ahead to make sure each pet gets consistent attention and care. I care for pets by prioritizing their comfort, routine, and safety, whether in my home or the client’s home. I take time to understand each pet’s specific schedule, including feeding times, walk routines, litter box or potty habits, and any medical or behavioral needs. In a client’s home, I aim to keep everything as familiar and stress-free as possible for the pet. I follow all instructions closely, keep their routine consistent, and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I also respect the home by keeping it clean and tidy, and I always make sure doors, gates, and any safety instructions are carefully followed. For dogs, this includes walks, playtime, enrichment, and calm companionship depending on their energy level and personality. For cats, I adjust to their comfort level-whether that means interactive play, feeding and litter care, or simply being a calm presence while they have space. I also provide regular updates with photos and messages so pet parents feel reassured and connected while they’re away. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for as if they were my own.
