Dog Walking West Congress

“Excellent pics! My girls can be a handful but they were smiling by the end of their walk with Dan! It was a comfort to have him checking in, walking them providing treats, and topping off their water ❤️”

About: I have had dogs and cats all my life (also fish, hamsters, mice, and a hedgehog). From puppies and kittens to elderly chihuahuas and grouchy senior cats, I have handled it all. I routinely care for pets for my friends and family and am happy to care for your babies too. I'm recently retired so I have a lot of time on my hands! I'm happy to administer medication or cater to your pet in whatever ways they need. I recently retired from my full-time job and will be mostly at home doing a little contract work here and there. I already care for my own five pets (or six if you count the fish) and can easily add yours to the mix. I will listen to what your pet needs and accommodate whatever it is they need/want. I am used to dealing with a diverse group of pets and providing each of them with what they need.

“I was incredibly nervous about leaving my two dogs in the care of someone else, as one of them has lots of anxiety issues and can be reactive with people and other dogs. But Dale did incredible and had no issues. He was super patient with my reactive dog and was super mindful about all my concerns. I was so so anxious and left a whole essay of information/instructions he needed to know and he made sure to keep all of that in mind. I will definitely keep him in mind for future sitter needs.”

About: Hey there! Growing up with 7+ dogs of all shapes and sizes, caring for them has always come naturally. As a dog mom myself, I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust. I have experience with dogs of all breeds and sizes, especially French Bulldogs, American Bulldogs, Labs, Poodles, and Pugs. Clear communication is one of my top priorities, and I'll always keep you informed with photos, updates, and quick responses. I love staying active through walks, and l believe in letting your furry friend set the pace : )  My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and right at home! I can't wait to meet you and your four-legged best friend! I'm currently working part time, so my schedule is flexible! I would prefer to have a meet and greet beforehand to ensure your pet is as comfortable as possible. I am also available all day on weekends. I always interact with your furry friend based on their needs + wants. Offering pet care to senior pets, younger pets, and anxious pets, I understand that each animal has their own personality! It is my goal to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed while in my care.

About: I’ve taken care of high energy puppies that love to run around as well as low energy dogs that love to play ball on repeat. I’ve raised puppies and have 3 of my own. Whether is a nice long walk or an hour game of fetch and running around I got you covered. On Tuesday-Thursday I am available from 6am - 12pm. On Friday-Saturday I am available all day. On Sundays I am available from 6am - 2pm. Food and water bowl are constantly available and filled but can be adjusted for scheduled feeding. Access to outside and indoor playtime is no problem.

“Jacob was great with Hank! Stepped in last minute and did a wonderful job. Great communication and very easy going. Will definitely use again and highly recommend”

About: Growing up with pets my whole life, I understand the responsibility their care takes, and how important it is for pet owners to trust their pet care taker. I previously had a dog walker for my German Shepard, who always joked he was honored to be our boy's 3rd favorite person (after my mom and I). It always warmed my heart to know he was in such good and caring hands. It has inspired me to bring that same level of trust and love to you and your fur baby. I can't wait to become their 2nd or 3rd favorite person! I work remotely and love physical activity. One of my main drivers of becoming a dog walker and pet care taker is to bring some furry joy and movement into my boring work days while also being able to give owners piece of mind that they have someone reliable and trustworthy to help care for their furry family members. Pet care within a client's home requires immense trust and understanding. It is my duty to ensure I understand the boundaries between me being in your house and your pet's space along with expectations for pet care.

About: I have worked in the pet industry for 16+ years. I have worked as a tech assistant, kennel worker, dog walker and caretaker in 2 veterinary practices. I have owned an operated a small dog grooming business. I have boarded many of my clients dogs in my residence. I am reliable, trustworthy, kind, compassionate and funny. I have a little Yorkie that is truly my heart! I adore him and could not imagine life without him. I LOVE dogs! I always treat any dog that is in my care as if they were my own. They are a part of the family and I can assure you that this is how they will be treated in my care. I consider it an honor to be able to take care of doggies.

About: I’ve personally taken care of dogs and cats for over the last 15 years and currently have my own pup! I have never met a dog I didn’t immediately love and my partner calls me a dog whisperer because of how great I can bond with them. I currently work full time at Dirty Dog - Grooming and Boarding so my schedule is very fluid and I’m often available during the day on weekdays as well as weekends. My partner also works from home so there is always an extra set of helping hands when needed! In my time off, I enjoy reading, paddle boarding on the lake, practicing yoga, and a new hobby of mine - rock painting! I would love to add taking care of other people’s fur babies to my list of activities (: In my own home, my dog and dogs I’m sitting will get frequent walks and visits to the local dog park. We also have plenty of space and toys for animals to enjoy themselves inside my home. In terms of trust, I will always follow a pets lead when it comes to how they’re feeling and what their needs are. Making sure an animal feels comfortable and safe will always be top priority.

About: I started pet sitting when I was 18 to earn some extra money in college, and I’ve been doing it ever since. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and sizes, and I’m great at following special instructions. Additionally, photography is a hobby of mine, so there’s a pretty good chance that you’ll get some good pics of your pet in the process. I’m currently in graduate school, so I have a good amount of flexibility in my schedule, whether it’s during the week or over the weekend. I know how important your pet is as a member of your family! I’m happy to meet their needs, whether it’s walking, playing, belly-rubbing, or comforting them.

“Our boy loves walks with Lillian! We’ve been regulars with Lillian for a few months now. She is dependable, responsive, and flexible if plans change or we need coverage. Thank you for taking such good care of our guy!”

About: I provide a safe, loving, and fun environment for your furry family members. I know how hard it is to leave your pets. That is why I offer personalized care tailored to your pet's exact routine. Whether your pet needs high-energy playtime or quiet companionship, I adapt to their unique personality. You will receive daily photo and text updates so you can enjoy your time away with total peace of mind. I work remotely, meaning your pet will rarely be left alone and will receive constant supervision. I read dog body language well. This ensures your pet stays safe, relaxed, and stress-free in my care. I understand the patience required for young pets. I reinforce your house-training, crate-training, and leash-walking routines using positive reinforcement. I am comfortable and precise with oral medications, supplements, and strict feeding schedules.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was 10, growing up in a home full of pets. That early experience gave me a natural comfort with animals and a genuine love for building trust with them. I’m reliable, attentive, and enjoy making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for—whether that’s walks, playtime, or just good company. I would love to take good care of your fur baby! 💛🐶🐈🐾✨ I’m currently a self employed tattoo artist and designer. I am very flexible and have plenty of availability to take care of your fur babies. I will mostly be available week days 9am-5pm I am not currently accepting jobs to take care of your pets in my home as I don’t have a suitable space with my two roommates and two kitties but would be happy to take care of your pet in your own home.

“My dog Millie loves Ashley. She has been walking her for years. Ashley is always reliable and has even come last minute when needed. She's flexible and willing to work with my schedule. I would highly recommend her if needing someone to care for your animals!”

About: Heeyyy! I’m Nicci, a life long Austinite, I’m a Mom to two minions, two cats, and a dog. I’m an artist who enjoys going on long walks (hopefully with your dog…🤞) I’m really flexible schedule wise. I don’t mind administering medication if needed. I’m good with all stages of life - puppy/kitties to seniors and anyone in between. I would be happy to help you out with whatever companion care needs you may have. I’m a single mom working the hustle job life. So in some ways I’m a stay at home mom and in other ways I’m a never stop working kind of mom with the privilege of working around the clock when it works best for me. This means I’m home during the weekdays for a great majority of the day, weekends I work more during the days but nothing crazy and I’m home every night of the week. I walk my kids to school every morning and then I continue with a lengthy walk for myself. Your dog would love it! My apartments have a very large fenced in dog park and multiple designated dog potty areas. I’m a leashed walker unless in a fenced in area where they can run and play.

“Laura was great with waking and hanging out with our golden Kuma. He’s so happy and she showed love to our sweet cat. She helped us during some inconvenient times. We are grateful 💜”

“Christine was quick to help me out when I was in a bit of a pinch after I had to schedule a last minute trip. She delivered and then some! She took such great care of Lucy and Amber in my absence, took pictures of the animals for me, and was punctual and communicative. I would leave 10 stars if I could. Thank you so much Christine :)”
