“Emily was AWESOME!! Would highly recommend, and we plan on booking her again. She was punctual, communicative, friendly, and attentive to our pup’s needs/instructions. She provided detailed updates and took photos during her services. Amazing sitter for sure!”


“Tharan has been so good with Zena! It was pouring down rain and he still took her the full hour and even took extra photos to send me. He’s super sweet & I can tell he loves dogs. Communication is great & his availability is awesome. I can’t wait for Zena’s walk dates with him again.”


“Noah is very professional. My dog very much enjoys his walk time. Teddy sits and waits for Noah to come. He has the schedule down. Except Teddy hasn't figured out why no Noah on weekends.”


“Alyssa was awesome! She was very accommodating when I wanted to switch my dog walk schedule so Koa didn’t have to walk in the hot weather. Alyssa kept me updated on the walks and sent pictures. Thanks so much! I highly recommend Alyssa.”


“Hera swooped in and helped us out when we needed a doggy care angel the most! She made sure to pay attention to any detailed instruction and made me feel so comfortable and well taken care of. I know my boys got lots of love, exercise and care while we were traveling. I would absolutely call on her again in future if we need help with my precious fur baby boys again! Thank you thank you Hera! 💕”


About: I had a dog when I was a teenager and now that I have moved out I have a cat as well named Horchata. Many family members rely on my expertise to watch their fur babies :) I am working part time at McDonalds and Ellagistas and going to school full time but would really love to do something I’m passionate about on my off time like working with animals. My availability is open to anytime I am not at work. I am good at getting animals to listen and calm down if need be. I believe that animals are very in tune with tone and that is the main way they know if what they are doing is good, bad and anything in between.

About: I have my golden retriever that I keep energized daily and is very good with other dogs. I am a stay at home mom. I have been caring for dogs since I was young and have a large area for dogs to play in. I’m patient and loving with all sizes, shapes, and breeds. I have a 7 year old son and 5 year old daughter, and 1 year old that are used to dogs now and absolutely loves to play with them. I can always accommodate to any dog or cat. Old, young, energetic, aggressive, etc. I’m not a professional trainer but consider myself to train dogs very well. I have lots of time to give them attention and exercise! I’m excited to meet every single one! I live in a ground floor apartment. I have a part time job at the moment but looking to care for animals full time eventually! I absolutely love spending time with animals and would love to watch your friend! I give them lots of love and attention. We play fetch, go on walks, watch TV together, snuggle, play in the water during the summer.


About: I offer more than just pet sitting—I provide loving, attentive care that ensures your pets feel safe, comfortable, and nurtured while you're away. With hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments, I tailor my approach to each animal’s unique needs. Whether it's gentle senior care, administering medications, or helping puppies through basic training and housebreaking, I bring patience, consistency, and affection to every interaction. I treat every pet like family, keeping their routines, comfort, and happiness at the heart of what I do. You can count on me to keep you updated and your pet well-loved until you return. As a college student returning home for summer, pet care will be part of my daily routine through feeding, walking, grooming, and spending quality time with your pet(s). Caring for your pets in your home is a responsibility I take seriously. I tailor my approach depending on the type of service you book, always prioritizing safety, comfort, and trust. Every pet is unique, so I customize my care to meet their needs and your preferences. My goal is for you to feel confident—and for your pet to feel happy and safe—every time I visit.

About: I've been working with of animals of all kinds for several years, starting as a volunteer dog walker at Austin Pets Alive!, where I earned several training and behavior qualifications. As a veterinary student, I've worked at multiple veterinary hospitals, feeding and caring for dogs, cats, horses, and even wildlife! I own and care for a blind senior dog and a younger, more active pup, so I understand how to cater walks and playtime to different dogs. I've also been taking care of cats for friends and neighbors for several years. I love to play and cuddle with friendly kitties, and I know how to take a slower approach with the ones that are more skittish. I've also worked with both cats and dogs in a veterinary setting, so I know how to recognize common emergencies and I can care for your special needs pets. During the week my availability is limited, but I'm free some mornings and evenings. My weekend schedule is more flexible, so check in with me if you're interested! When I'm on school breaks my schedule is very flexible and I have availability nearly every day of the week to walk or check in on your pets. I would love to take your pet for long walks in the neighborhood, and as an avid hiker, I particularly enjoy taking dogs on local hiking trails. I enjoy playing with dogs and cats in your home, but I'm also willing to take things slow for more nervous pets.

“This is my first experience hiring a dog walker. I was a bit nervous about it at first but Nayeli dispelled my fears. She is reliable and competent and I know my dog appreciated it too. Nayeli sent daily pictures of their excursions. I will most certainly enlist Nayeli’s services again!”


About: I have dog sat for my neighbors senior dog so I know how to provide a little more care/meds. I grew up helping with my dogs learn how to take potty breaks.

This provides lots of time for walks, play time, and cuddles for your pet! I follow directions directly to a T. I never take an animal outside without a leash, and always make sure the gate is closed. I also make sure the animal seems healthy, happy, and safe. They get quality time with each visit, and all needs get taken care of. I feel comfortable giving medication, crating, and handling any issue that may arise.

About: I have been around several dogs since I was born! I have experience with dogs of all sizes from chihuahuas to great danes. I am able to take care of senior pups and am able to do things such as administer meds. I also have experience with taking care of dogs in heat. I currently have my own cat at home who I provide care for everyday, she gets food in the morning and evenings and I clean her cat box at least once. day with a deep clean at least once a month. I like to make sure I always know where he/she is to make sure they are okay and/or not causing any mischief and If it is a drop in visit I make sure they have everything they need before my next visit. In regards to dog walking I like to make sure they pee and poop at least once on the walk and that the walk last enough time for them to stretch their legs and get some fresh air and exercise.

They always gravitate to me in a room. I have 5 dog training classes and multiple books on dog training and behavior in my repertoire. I actively train and play with my dogs in ways that keep them safe, well behaved, and enriched. It’s just fun! I free-lance from home, so I’m available more days than just the weekends. I can’t do earlier than 11am, but I can do later in the evening than some. I will follow your directions on care for your pets. It’s important to me, with my pets, that my directions are followed; so, I will do the same for you. So you don’t have to worry. I understand that each pet has their own needs. For example, I have to leash my golden to take her potty or she eats poop. Two of my dogs need specific meds at differing schedules. Because this is my daily life, it’s easy for me to follow directions to care for your pets. Give me written directions and they will be followed to a T.
