Dog Walking Smithwick

“I hit a home run with Shima! I have an 8th month old German shorthair pointer with high exercise demands daily. Shima was looking to gain knowledge in this field and has been walking, running and training my pup for a month now 2-3 times a week. She does an exceptional job with him and is patient to his needs! Working with a GSP can be one of the toughest breeds to work with. I come home and my pup (Troy Aikman) is happy and relaxed! I work a lot during the week so it is relieving to know he is in such good hands. I would highly recommend Shima for your needs. Troy lights up with energy when she shows up! Thank you Shima!”

“Nicole has been fantastic to work with. Our fur baby is such an important part of the family, we are always cautious of whoever is caring for her. Nicole is not only very kind & professional, but also reliable and flexible. She administers our pups medications, spends quality time playing/walking her, and also has been kind enough to clean her up if she happens to get dirty. Our dog loves her! I can’t rave about her enough, we are so grateful to have found her! 10/10 recommend!”

Most importantly, she takes wonderful care of Benny and treats him like he’s her own. It gives us such peace of mind knowing he’s in such loving and capable hands. We highly recommend Marina to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter!”

About: I’ve been around dogs for years and have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to seniors who need a little extra attention and patience. I’m comfortable with basic puppy training, maintaining routines, and making sure each dog gets the care, exercise, and attention they’re used to. I also have experience pet sitting for others and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with both your pet and your home. I offer overnight sitting and make it a priority to keep your dog comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away. I’m reliable, attentive, and will treat your dog like one of my own. I currently work a part-time job Monday through Thursday during the mornings and early afternoons. Outside of those hours, I’m fully available and have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m available for evenings, overnight stays, and weekends, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine to make sure they get the care and attention they need. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of attention. I always prioritize their safety and comfort, keep the home clean and secure, and make sure pets are never put in an unsafe or stressful situation while in my care.

About: I’ve owned dogs for the past 20 years. I’ve watched multiple friends and family dogs for them. I’m an animal lover. I just prefer dogs because I’m allergic to cats, even though I own two outside. I’ve worked with rescuers and fosters to help out in the community. This side job would fill my heart just loving your fur baby. I have 5 animals, 2 dogs, 2 cats, and a chameleon. They are spoiled babies. I have to make sure they are taken care of on a daily basis. I would love them! I would play with them, walk them, feed them, whatever needed. In my home my animals are spoiled on a daily basis.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover based in Granite Shoals near Marble Falls, and I’m happy to travel within an hour of the Austin area to care for your pup. I’ve had dogs my entire life and truly believe they’re family—not just pets. I currently share my home with Josie, my sweet 10-year-old Pug, and Bella, my energetic 2-year-old rescue Pit mix. Having dogs at very different life stages has given me experience with everything from senior care and slower-paced walks to playful energy and enrichment. Over the years, I’ve regularly helped friends care for their dogs—whether that meant walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company while their humans were away. I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and genuinely loving toward every dog I meet. I live a healthy, active lifestyle and enjoy trail walks and neighborhood strolls, always tailoring activity levels to each dog’s needs, age, and personality. Your pup’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities, and I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your dog—feel free to reach out with any questions! My full time job is mostly remotely, which gives me the flexibility to plan my day around a pet’s needs. This allows me to provide regular walks, meals, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I prioritize safety, trust, and consistency. I follow each pet’s routine closely, ensure secure environments and safe walks, and treat both pets and homes with care and respect.

My goal is for your dog to feel comfortable here and for you to feel confident leaving your dog with me. I’ve been around dogs for many years and truly enjoy caring for them.

I aim to keep feeding times, potty breaks, walks, playtime, rest, and medication schedules as close as possible to what they're used to at home. For boarding, dogs get regular outdoor time in the fenced yard, attention throughout the day, and a relaxed space to rest. . I maintain a clean, non-smoking home with a fenced backyard where dogs can play outside safely. Before a stay, I like to learn about your dog, including their feeding schedule, sleeping habits, medications, and interactions with other dogs. I introduce dogs slowly and pay close attention to how each dog is feeling. I don’t force dogs to interact if they prefer to have their own space. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and messages during their stay.
