About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life. Growing up on a ranch, I helped raise and care for all kinds of animals including rabbits, cats, and dogs, learning hands-on responsibility and compassion from a young age. I bring decades of experience and have a special love for senior pets. Since 2011, I’ve rescued and cared for older dogs, giving them comfort, attention, and love in their final years. Two of my own cats lived to be 20, so I understand the dedication needed for long-term care. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a shy rescue, or a senior pet, I treat every animal like family. Friends and neighbors have trusted me for years to nurture, love, and care for their pets and I’d be honored to do the same for yours. I work part-time remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule to dedicate to your pet. This allows me to provide consistent attention, care, and companionship tailored to each animal’s needs. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I follow your pet’s routine closely, provide attentive supervision, and maintain a calm, comfortable environment. With decades of experience — from ranch animals to senior dogs, cats, and small pets — I provide patient, loving, and reliable care that pet parents can trust.
“Ari is a gem. Great personality, grounded, responsible and kind. Dogs have a sixth sense. When my Sofi ran into the house to greet me after her walk to say I’m back she immediately returned to Ari for some rubs. I knew then I was totally comfortable giving my sweet girl’s care to Ari. Three walks done and many more planned. Thank you, Ari, for making Sofi’s life better. She loves her walks.”

About: "I bring a professional, detail-oriented approach to pet care, backed by a commitment to reliability and safety. I don't just 'watch' your pet—I curate their day. Whether it's a high-energy park adventure or a consistent, disciplined walking routine, I prioritize your pet's specific temperament and needs. I treat every booking as a professional contract: you can count on punctuality, clear communication, and photo updates that give you complete peace of mind. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities, and I approach every interaction with the professionalism you expect from a dedicated care expert." Growing up in Texas we had a family Ranch with all of the fun farm animals. I have been around several breeds of cats since I was 10. I also had a beautiful midnight main coon named Bling up until moving to Austin. I also had a Schnauzer terrier I found at the pound also when I was 10. Mitzi was from the Humane Society. I was volunteering and she never left my side all day I had to take her! Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to check in with, feed, and play with their pets for years. What sets me apart is my patience and ability to bond with even the shyest felines. I understand cat body language and prioritize a stress-free environment. Whether it's high-energy play with a kitten or gentle companionship for a senior cat, I am observant, detail-oriented, and dedicated to making sure your furr baby feels safe and loved while you are away." I prioritize a secure and attentive environment for every dog I care for. While I don't have a yard at my home, I am an extremely active person and live near several wonderful local dog parks and scenic trails. I love taking my visitors on frequent outdoor adventures and long walks to ensure they get plenty of exercise and fresh air. My home is a clean, organized, and stress-free space where your pet will be treated like family and given my full, undivided attention.

I love walking them or playing with them! I pay attention to detail and will respect your space.

“Mike was on time and courteous, and most importantly, developed an instant rapport with my skittish shepherd. He was great at handling her when she tried to bark at a little dog, and got her under control without being harsh. I feel good about him walking her alone.”

“Maya was fantastic!! She was excellent to work with, handling our dog with ease and experience, also very communicative, and our dog was very relaxed and trusting with her. We will be using her definitely as our dog walker, and I recommend you check her out as well, and you will not be disappointed! Happy holidays to all.”

About: I have been loving dogs (and all furry creatures) my whole life. I married an equal dog lover. We spent our honeymoon traveling to Costa Rica's Territio de Zaguates ("Land of the Strays"). We have two small children who are respectful of animals. I worked for an emergency vet hospital and have years of experience volunteering at rescues/pet sitting. I always promise to love your dog as they are one of my pack members. Leaving your pet with someone new can be scary; especially those new to Rover. I am happy to provide references to hear from families that have trusted me with their pets. I am a full time mom with a pretty flexible schedule. Please let me know your pet’s regular schedule and I can confirm my availability. I do my best to follow a pet’s normal everyday routine. I have experience with a variety of breeds and understand each dog is different. I follow your dog's lead with what they are comfortable with. Our home is pet - friendly! I do not let dogs off leash unless owner notes otherwise and it is a secure location. I do not leave pets unsupervised with my children or pets. I have experience and knowledge to keep a pet safe at all times.
About: I have owned cats and dogs since I was a child. Currently a cat mom to 2 boys- Tony & Ozzy! Experience with cats, puppies, elderly dogs & large dogs. I’m a part time student & have a part time job on mondays and tuesdays from 10-7 pm. School is 100% remote! Wednesday-Friday are open! I am a cuddle and zoomie enthusiast! Expect lots of kisses, cuddles, pets and playtime! Will pickup pet waste, messes & do any feeding/medicine for you! Walks are guaranteed!
About: I have a deep experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments—from energetic puppies to sweet senior pups needing a gentler pace. I’m especially patient, detail-oriented, and treat every dog like they’re my own. I have a rescue chihuahua named Diego, and over the years I’ve regularly dog-sat for friends and family, handling medications, special diets, and quirky personalities with ease. I also never underestimate the power of a good belly rub or a well-timed treat. Pet care fits great into my schedule—I’m a retired LAPD officer now working part-time from home, so I’ve got the flexibility to give your pets the attention they need, when they need it. My days aren’t rushed, and I actually like planning around walks, feedings, and cuddle breaks. It’s a pretty sweet upgrade from chasing bad guys. Pets in my home are treated like family—just with more treats and fewer chores. While I do not have a fenced yard, all outdoor time is carefully supervised and handled on leash to ensure safety. Inside, there’s plenty of comfortable space for lounging, cuddling, or doing their own thing. My dog Diego (a rescue chihuahua) serves as the welcoming committee and takes his role very seriously. I keep the environment calm, clean, and consistent so your pet feels comfortable and secure from day one.

I hired kesley to walk my dog while we were on vacation in the area and she did an incredible job!! Truly took such great care and attention to my dog and sent great updates. Would absolutely book with her again if I lived in the area. Incredibly kind, open, and communicative.

Ari is a gem. Great personality, grounded, responsible and kind. Dogs have a sixth sense.
