“Michelle was so great with Bailey! Bailey is 14 years old and Michelle took great care of her while we were away which gave us peace to enjoy our trip. Michelle was quick to respond, which is great because when you’re away from your older dog. (Those with older dogs, you know.) When I picked up Bailey, Michelle already knew Bailey’s personality just from a few days, which was awesome, which made Bailey more comfortable while we were away. If you have an older dog, Michelle is a great choice and will be with your dog all the time. Her dog was great with Bailey too. No issues when meeting and shared space with each other well. Thanks again Michelle!”

Our kitties look forward to having her back. :)”

About: I work from home, so your dog gets constant company and supervision - not hours alone in a crate. I have crates and beds set up in every room - bedroom, living area and right next to my desk in my office. I also have a dog hammock on the patio, so your dog can settle in wherever feels comfortable to them. I'm experienced with positive reinforcement training, including hand signals and treat-based cues, which works well for dogs who are shy, older, or still learning. I also have easy access to walking trails and a dog park, so there's always an option for exercise, whether your dog wants a calm stroll or more active playtime. I have a group of friends and their pups at the dog park that played with my pup Charli for years until I recently lost her to cancer. Dogs are family to me. I've cared for a dog through serious illness, so I understand what patience, routine, and gentle care really look like. I will bring that same level of attention to your dog while in my care. I'll keep you updated with photos, videos, and check-ins so you always know your pup is safe, happy, and loved. I work from home. I am available for boarding Monday through Friday. I am not available on weekends currently. In most cases, I can have a drop off scheduled for evenings on Sunday if necessary but pick up will have to be on Friday by 6pm. I do not have any pets currently. I just lost my 5 year old pup to cancer. She was my life. I trained her with hand signals. She was well behaved and my travel companion. I love dogs and have the patience and availability to care for them. I have a patio with a dog hammock for relaxing. I have two crates and multiple beds set up in different rooms - my bedroom, my office and the living room. Dogs are allowed on the couch and if they are more comfy sleeping in the bed, I'm ok with that. I have trails all around my complex that I walk daily for leash walks and a nice dog park. If your dog is not friendly with other dogs but still needs exercise, I have the freedom to go to the dog park during the day when the park is mostly empty. I have a group of friends that my pup played with at the dog park and it is a great community here.
“We had a fantastic first experience! From the start, she was attentive and asked great questions to fully understand Rudy's needs. The constant updates with photos and videos made my day and gave me total peace of mind. I will definitely be using her services again and would recommend her to anyone!”
About: I have experience watching dogs of all ages and sizes in NY and now Texas. I understand needs of dogs whether that be sensitive to noises, separation anxiety, etc - I’ve seen it all. Especially with my own six pound Chihuahua! Experience in administering medicine and training, I can help you and accommodate for anything you may need. I have tons of love to give and will provide an easy and calming experience for you and your family. I work from home and am able to give your pet 24/7 attention. Walks can be given every hour and the dog park at least once a day, if your dog likes dog parks. I am available every day and very flexible with scheduling. I live alone in a quiet house with a fenced backyard so there’s plenty of space for your furry friend to get comfortable. I also have a very friendly chihuahua that will be with me for any dog boarding. Your dog may sleep on the furniture or in a crate, whatever you prefer. I can administer medicine (no shots) and live within walking distance of a vet that I know personally, so this is the perfect place in case of any emergencies.

Over the years I’ve cared for dogs with different temperaments, energy levels, and routines, and I understand that every pet deserves patience, consistency, and lots of love. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to follow detailed care instructions, administer basic medications if needed, and keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

Extra special thanks to Katherine because our flight coming back was delayed several times and she was so nice being flexible with having to change pickup time. Would definitely recommended!!”

Ill walk the dogs in the morning and after and make sure they get plenty of play time in before the sun goes down
“Kalena and her other dog crew were fantastic. Watson is a bit older, this year he will be 11. He gets lots of walks at home but this gives him other dogs to interact with more to break up his routine. We appreciate your attention and care of him.”

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, fish, rodents, reptiles, and other animals of all kinds. Growing up, my family had numerous animals over the years that I assisted in training and caregiving. I have two pups of my own that were both rescued and trained. I am familiar with dogs who are reactive or have behavior problems. I trained my dogs in basic commands, agility, and search and find. I treat all animals like they are my own, so please contact me if there is anything special about your pet that I should know! I am currently taking some time off from work, so I have plenty of free time to spend with your fur babies. I am always happy to provide extra pets and snuggles to those who love a little extra attention. If there are any specifics I need to know about you, your home, or fur baby, please let me know, and I will happily accommodate.
“Jillian did a wonderful job with our pup. She took him for a walk, played fetch with him, and even did some tricks for treats with him. We are so grateful that she was available to take care of him and I would definitely recommend her. Bonus: she takes awesome pictures. Our pup looked like he was having a blast.”
“Trinity helped us out while we were out of town with walking our pup Sunny! Our dog can be a bit shy and tough to get her harness on but Trinity seamless with her. I would highly recommend booking with Trinity!!”
About: Hello everyone!, my name is Dominique and I have always had a dog in my life. My earliest memories consist of watching and helping my dog give birth and raise 10 puppies when I was 4 years old. Volunteering at the Austin Animal Center as a teenager was a natural step in my love for animals. I walked the small dogs outside for bathroom breaks and playtime while keeping puppies occupied when their crates were getting cleaned. I also walked the large dogs from their suites to the group play area and supervised multiple large dogs’ interactions. My friends have been trusting me to care for their animals and homes for 7 years now, and I have absolutely loved it! My experience ranges from small dogs to big dogs, puppies to seniors, and I have administered oral medication numerous times. The longest I have house sat was a week straight and the most animals I have cared for at a time is 4. I can’t wait to meet you and your babies❤️ I am currently working part time as a babysitter so I have a lot of availability for walks, feeds, hangouts, play, and cuddles! I am available seven days a week for feedings, walks, and daytime care starting at 10:30 am and into the night. For housesitting visits, I can come and stay at your house Friday night, Saturday night, and holidays for overnight care. First of all, I respect, follow, and complete all written or spoken directions on how to care for your pet and take care of your house. A typical sitting appointment for me is being there to provide food/water, frequent bathroom breaks, outside play, inside play (if given permission), a walk around the neighborhood (if requested), and a movie night with unlimited cuddles 🥰. I believe that it’s important to follow your pets’ cues so if they need extra attention, I am there to play or run around and if they need more space/alone time, I give them that time adjust. While we are having nap/down time, I will complete any household task asked of me which can consist of gathering the mail, putting out trash cans, watering the plants, etc. My favorite part of this experience is forming a bond with clients both human and dog so you can feel comfortable leaving your home in a trusted person’s hands!
“Puanani was a wonderful caretaker and friend to my furry family! Nice long walks, great details, photos and attention was given to my dog and it made me feel SO much more comfortable being away from home. I will definitely book her services again!”
“Great took very good care of my senior dog. He gave a little extra love and care when she needed it. He is professional and is responsive. I highly recommend him. He was a terrific Dog Walker and will use him again.”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover with 16 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As a proud Great Dane mom to two gentle giants, I'm very comfortable handling large breeds, but I adore dogs of every shape and size. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or prefers to spend the day relaxing on the couch, I'm happy to match their energy and routine to help them feel comfortable while you're away. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and am comfortable administering oral medications, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in capable, attentive hands. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I've volunteered with PVAC and Austin Pets Alive!, where I've worked with dogs from many different backgrounds and temperaments. Their well-being, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. I know every dog is unique, and I'll treat your furry family member with the same love, patience, and care I give my own. I can't wait to meet you and your best friend! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As a dog owner myself, my schedule already revolves around walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I make sure every pet in my care gets the time, exercise, and companionship they need to feel happy and comfortable. My dogs get a lot of love. Constant cuddles, pets and treats. I walk them everyday and always ensure they’re hydrated, I would do the same for other doggos. Not every dog is the same, adjustments can always be made.
“Great dog walker. Always reliable and shows up when needed. They’ve been walking Sharon since she was a baby puppy, so they’ve been part of her routine for a long time now. Consistent 30-minute walks and solid communication with regular updates. Really trustworthy and a huge help overall. Would definitely recommend.”
“Raven is absolutely PHENOMENAL!!! So far this is our second week with her walking Frankie and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Very professional, responsive and accommodating.”
About: I grew up with a wide variety of animals but especially cats and dogs. I’ve been dog sitting and walking as a side hustle since freshman year of high school in 2016. I moved out and got certified as a wag walker in early 2023. It’s been a great side hustle over the years and I’ve picked up additional skills like training and grooming. I also have two cats as an adult. What has changed currently is leaving my full time job in hopes of connecting with things I love like animals. My parents no longer live in state and I miss my dog friends. I make my own schedule and most of my income is currently from pet care. Open to odd jobs and odd hours, genuinely love the work. I have diagnosed ocd so if you give me a list I will stick to it. I try to go above and beyond when it comes to care and that extra step. Bonding with the animal and understanding their specific personality is highly important to me.
About: I've taken care of many dogs and cats over the years, young and old, large and small, well trained and not so well trained. Big believer in lots of walks (when the heat permits), lots of fresh water and pets/play time to keep the furballs entertained. I work from home, I am a software developer. We have a peaceful house with 2 cats. They are friendly with dogs who are friendly with cats. Dogs cared for in our home can expect 2 walks a day and to be let out as often as they need, I usually offer them to go outside every 2 hours.
“Ollie absolutely loves his walks with Madison; he gets so excited when she arrives. Madison is reliable, communicative, and clearly a true dog person. Ollie has some leash reactivity challenges, and I really appreciate the care and attention she takes to keep him engaged, set him up for success, and avoid situations that might trigger a reaction. It’s obvious that she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with and tailors her approach to their individual needs. Don’t overthink it; book a walk with Madison! 🐾”
“First time actually having a reliable person that actually showed up, Chelsea was very nice handled my dog with extra care and I love the photos that was taken along their walk. I will be booking again with Chelsea..”
“Deanna is wonderful, prompt, attentive, accommodating and very good at what she does. Finley comes home so happy in every way. The last time she actually came inside and thanked me for the walk by jumping on me and smiling at me. It was so sweet. I had been sick and unable to walk her. So glad to have found Deanna”

“Jeany was wonderful with our family dog (AJ) that needed boarding for a week. Jeany was very easy to communicate with prior to the scheduled time and kept us up-to-date on how AJ was doing. She sent pictures throughout the time and you could see the big smile on AJ's face in each one. We would recommend Jeany for any of your dog's needs and will definitely be using her in the future!”
“Our dogs had the best time staying with Emma! We got so many photos and updates throughout the week, it was like they were having their own little doggy day camp. They can’t wait to stay again!”
“Linda is GREAT! My boy Mamba seemed like he had a great time. I left him with Linda for 7 days (Saturday-Saturday), it was my first time leaving him with someone other than family and she made sure to make sure I was comfortable by sending me LOTS of great photos everyday of Mamba and their activities they were doing. She has a great personality and I will definitely be back. I am from another state so I will be traveling frequently and I’m glad to have found someone who can take care of my playful baby boy. Thanks Linda!”
