Dog Walking in Triangle State, Austin, TX

About: I have a lifetime of experience caring for animals of all kinds — from dogs and cats to horses, birds, fish, cattle, and small mammals. I grew up surrounded by pets and livestock, and my love for animals led me to earn a degree in biology and work professionally as a wildlife biologist, where I cared for reptiles, amphibians, and fish. Whether it’s walking an energetic pup, checking in on a shy cat, or providing overnight care for multiple pets, I take the time to understand each animal’s unique needs and personality. I’m attentive, patient, and confident handling Right now, I have lots of open availability while the government is shut down, so I’m happy to help with walks, drop-ins, and house sitting throughout the day! Once things open back up, I’ll still be available for morning, evening, and weekend bookings. I’m happy to be flexible and work with your schedule whenever possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I treat every animal as if they were my own and take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and any special instructions you provide. With a background in biology and years of hands-on animal care experience, I’m comfortable recognizing behavioral cues and responding calmly in any situation. I always keep pets on-leash when outside of secure areas, double-check gates and doors, and maintain open communication with owners through regular updates and photos. You can trust that your pets will be cared for responsibly, compassionately, and with attention to every detail.

About: I have years of experience caring for my own dog as well as my friend’s and family’s pets. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages and will work with you to ensure your pet is happy and comfortable. I’m currently working from home and occasionally go in to office. I have a flexible schedule. I’d be happy to walk your dog before work, during my lunch break, and after work, and take short breaks to play with them during the day. I have a large fenced in yard with a doggy door and one friendly dog who is happy to play or simply relax with your pup. Dogs are allowed on the furniture. I’m happy to address any special needs or requirements. I board one or two dogs at a time and a good fit would be a friendly, house trained dog.

“Michael was amazing! He was very responsive, easy to work with, and flexible. He took my doggo on 2 hour long walks in one day. He took great pictures of my dog too! I felt like my dog was very safe and taken care of. My friend met Michael when he was picking my dog up for his second walk and told me that Ezra (my dog) seemed to love him. Will definitely book Michael again in the future.”

“Michael is so good with our animals! He walked our dog, but also was super friendly with our 2 cats. He's super responsive, and is always sending cute pictures. I'd recommend Michael to anyone needing pet sitting or dog walking!”

“Kody was fantastic. I hired him to walk a very energetic 1-year-old retriever twice a day after I broke my shoulder. He was always on time. He was pleasant and helpful, and dealt well with my dog's enthusiastic nature. I recommend him highly and I believe you will enjoy working with him as much as we did. Great guy.”

Joe C.

“I needed someone to watch my dog on very short notice. Loren and Laila were very communicative and easy to work with. And most important, my dog was happy and well cared for :) I would definitely hire again!”

About: Pets have always been a big part of my life! I’ve cared for my own dogs for years and helped loved ones with cats and kittens. Im patient, gentle, and love making pets feel safe and happy. I recently joined Rover to offer dog walking and pet sitting services while I search for my next full-time role here in Austin. As of now, my schedule is very flexible. When caring for pets, my top priority is always their safety, comfort, and happiness. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, maintain a calm and consistent routine and make sure each pet feels loved and secure while their family is away. I don’t host pets in my home, but I can provide bathing services at my apartment’s designated pet wash area - ideal for dogs who are comfortable with baths. If your pet enjoys friendly company, my senior dog Malena is gentle and social - we can arrange an outdoor introduction beforehand to ensure they get along well. Inquire for more details!

“Jenna is great! Was pouring and a major storm today and she powered through and took Tex put. Really appreciated her stepping up in bad weather.”

“Sarah was wonderful with my dog and also fantastic to work with! She is extremely responsive and reliable. Her communication is excellent (including lots of details and photos after each walk)! I will happily book her again!”

Meghan P.

“Jessica was communicative and easy to work with! We appreciated her talking Rory on a walk, even in the setting of a potentially rainy afternoon!”

“She was amazing! I will definitely be using her again!”

About: I've been surrounded by animals my entire life. I'm an avid equestrian, and I grew up caring for my own cats and dogs. I get so much joy from being around animals, and I'd love to bring that passion to caring for your pets! I have experience administering pills and topical medications as well as basic first aid training. I am a new graduate student, so flexibility is key! Friday through Monday are days that I can fully devote to pet care, whereas Tuesday through Thursday I will be focusing on classwork. You know your pet best, and I want to keep your pet's routine as clear and consistent as possible. A calm environment is a happy environment!

“Annabelle was great with my 2 dogs! There were no issues at all, I had a worry free vacation knowing that the dogs would be well looked after while I was away. Thanks again!”

About: I grew up with a Labrador and have since had extensive experience taking care of a family dog that was a rescue that suffers from severe anxiety. I'm free to do walks during the day, Sunday-Saturday. I am capable of watching dogs in my home for a few days at a time as well. I make sure my pets are always comfortable, and give them attention when they want it, but also let them relax and chill when they need that. I refresh water a few times a day, and take animals outside for at least 3 walks and to the dog park when time permits!

“Beth walked my dog while I was out of town and my dog was staying with my friend. She did a great job. She met with me beforehand and texted me everyday letting me know how it went.”

John B.

“July walked our pup on last minute notice and proceeded to be so helpful! We ask her every chance we need somebody and I couldn’t say enough good things!”

“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!”

About: I grew up with dogs and I love being around them. I used to dog sit all the time for friends and neighbors growing up, and I often take care of my sister's pup when she is busy. I think I am very sensitive to animal's needs, whether they be emotional or physical. I love playing games, going on walks or hikes, and also giving belly rubs and cuddles, if that's what the pup wants! I’ve had cats for 15 years, usually senior cats and often with medical needs. I have worked with a variety of cat personalities and feel comfortable and confident reading their signals and boundaries. Let me know what your cat needs and I’ll be able to provide the care they need! I have a 8-5 M-F job, so I can accommodate walk requests best on the weekends. I can schedule drop-in visits any day though, especially if the timing is flexible. I take care of pets in your home according to your instructions, of course, and respecting your home and privacy. I make sure to clean up as needed.

“Del was so great with my pup. Her communication is awesome, highly recommend!”

“Katie is great. My pup really struggles with strangers and Katie was able to get her to warm up.”
