Dog Walkers in Bastrop, TX

“Carrie was great with our rambunctious dog. We have a year and a half year old lab who has a lot of energy and Carrie was very patient with her. We had a reoccurring booking and she was always on time and our pup really liked her. Would have continued using Carrie but we had a change in our schedule. Highly recommend!”

“Garrett is dependable and our dog loves him. We feel comfortable using Garret”

About: I have had many pets in my life, including cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, snakes, and bearded dragons. I am the primary caretaker of my family dogs and cats, and often assist other family and friends in caring for their babies as well. I have an open schedule ready for meeting, playing with, and caring for any pets in need. I have college classes Monday - Thursday from 9:00am - 1:20pm and have a reoccurring drop-in on Friday/Saturday mornings, but other than that I am free to help with walks, boarding, daycare, drop-ins, and/or overnight visits! I am now accepting bookings from my home along with bookings from yours, and will provide as much comfort as I can to your baby/babies while they are away from home or even just away from their owners. This includes feeding schedules, play time, sleeping habits, walks, and more!

“Thanks so much! I know Marbles enjoyed his visit with you!”

“Jessica is very compassionate about the love and care she shows for animals. We have such confidence in her care for our dog, Caliber, as she has kept him for overnight stays when we have to go out of town or take short vacations. She has cared for Caliber for over 5 years now. Jessica takes him for walks and is mindful of his old age and limits how far he can walk. The same when she throws the ball for him during playtime. Jessica follows our instructions about food, treats, and any medication.”

About: I am a professional dog trainer so I deal with all breeds. I have also worked in a vet clinic so I can do medications and notice when your pet might not be feeling well. I have also volunteered at an animal shelter! Neighbors, family and friends have me take care of their dogs weekly because they know their pet is safe and in good hands. I’m currently available most days except Sundays and Tuesday mornings. I have a few training lessons but I can be sure your pets are taken care of on time. I do not rush through homes. I spend time with your pets to play, love, feed and anything else they may need. I spend 30 minutes to an hour in each home to potty, play, feed and love on the animals! I like to make sure the animals are getting the same routine when you aren’t home.

“Michelle has been helping me out with my pup for a while now and me and my sweet girl wouldn’t have it any other way! Can’t recommend her enough.”

About: I'm a vet tech, dog trainer, and have experience in breeding, rescue, and shelter volunteering. I have my own pack of dogs, and am very educated in behavior and how to pair dogs for playtime. I consistently strive to learn more and stay on top of dog news. I am experienced in working with dogs with aggression and reactivity and can handle dogs with serious issues. I can handle puppies, seniors, dogs that need medication or assistance in other ways. I've worked very hard to be able to be adaptable and ready for anything. I own a lot of dogs and that has taught me that you need to be prepared for different temperaments, play styles, tolerance levels, and more. Things run smoothly in my farm because I treat every dog as an individual with their own needs. I have very playful dogs that are fantastic for temperament testing other dogs, and I have dogs that cannot be around other dogs but they still need mental and physical stimulation. I have built my farm to be one that can work for any dog regardless of temperament because that is what you need to be prepared for when owning many dogs. I was in the military and being prepared and adaptable was one of the biggest things I took from my service. I'm a veteran and constantly home! I spend all day playing with my dogs, reading in a giant puppy pile, and cleaning up after the dogs. I have multiple fenced off zones for dogs to play in. If your dog isn't into company, they will have their own 600 square feet fenced area to play, with all the toys their heart desires. If they love playing with other dogs, I will evaluate their temperament and match them with my dogs with similar play styles and they will have 1/4 acre to 1/2 acres zones to play in. They want to swim? I have a seasonal pond! Fetch? I play it all day, I'm a machine! My home is fun, safe, well regulated, and energy burning! Whatever your dog specifically needs is what I will provide. I also have fenced areas with privacy screens so if your dog can't handle seeing other dogs they can still get exercise and fun time.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs, and other animals, for as long as I can remember. Animals are my passion and I love every single kind I currently don’t have a job, trying to find an at home or anima care job. In the meantime I would love to care for your animals. I’m available all day every day. I live in a small apartment with 2 dogs already, sadly I won’t be able to home your dog, however I am more then willing to come to your house to care for them.

“Katherine is great! She is quick to respond and takes great photos! Penny seems very happy when I get home after she has been on a walk with Katherine. I would definitely use her again!”

“Awesome and super sweet”

“Everything went flawlessly. Long walk, potty breaks, and even cleaned up what Brutus was chewing on when she got there. Will definitely contact again ??”

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and have owned pets for a large portion of it. I’m here to help you and your pets feel more comfortable while you’re away! I’m mostly available for drop in visits (I work from home) and occasional home stays. The thing is, I know how I want my kitties to be treated while I’m away and the level of care I expect is pretty high. I want to provide that to you and your pets, so expect lots of pictures, notes about how they’re doing and your home, and anything else you need while you’re away. Feel free to reach out with any questions or if you want to schedule a meet and greet! Looking forward to hearing from you and your pet(s)! I work from home so I’m mostly available for drop in visits but can accommodate an occasional home stay. I’m not available for boarding at this time. I will take plenty of notes during our meet and greet to ensure I get everything down that needs to be done while you’re away. Anything that goes wrong you’ll immediately get a message from me but usually that won’t happen. Pets will get food, fresh water, cuddles, play time, or anything else you deem necessary during our visits!

About: I’ve always had an affinity for dogs. I love dogs of all sizes, breeds, and conditions. My first dog was a massive chocolate lab, Buddy. He was rescued off the streets of Houston, and immediately made himself at home in our household when I was young. Ever since Buddy, I have made it a habit to bring home 6 other dogs (some without my parents permission while I lived at their house 😅 - don’t worry my parents were only disappointment for all of 5 minutes and then they fell in love with every dog I’ve brought home! 🤪) I adopted a Great Dane named Cleo when I was 22 years old and in college. I made it a priority for me to come home in between classes to take Cleo out of the house multiple times daily. Once she was old enough to take on the world together, we were frequently found at coffee shops, breweries, restaurants, Home Depot, etc. We went everywhere together. Our favorite spot was the San Marcos river or Colorado river for swimming and sun bathing! In 2021, Cleo became disabled with a debilitating disease called Wobbler’s disease. It takes a special kind of person to take care of a disabled animal. I prided myself in my ability to make her comfortable, and I made sure I accommodated my day-to-day to make sure she lived the best life she possibly could for the rest of her days. She loved her walks, so you could probably find us walking around the neighborhood every single night. In 2022, we brought home a miniature Australian Shepherd named Penny! And boy, does she have a lot of energy! She needs at least 3 walks a day and usually more than that! 😂 she loves car rides and trips to Starbucks for her pup cup, of course! All of this to say, I am well-versed in taking care of dogs! Whatever your needs are, whether it be helping your dog take necessary pain medication, disability accommodations, or wearing out a super energetic pup, I am here to help!! I currently am working on a hybrid schedule, so I am working remote towards the back-half of the week! I am available every other Wednesday, and every Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I mostly spend my weekends at home, so I have a pretty open schedule! Please reach out to me if there is a special time you need me to drop in and/or walk your pet, so I can try my best to accommodate you. I am capable of crating your dog if that is what you need after we are back from our walk or working on training while you are away! Safety is my number 1 priority when it comes to your pet. I will never push your dog’s limits, and I am very patient with anxious or fearful dogs. I will take extra precautions when leashing your dog for the walk, and I will make sure to never leave your dog un-attended.

“Staci has taken care of my dogs more than once. She is very responsive and always keeps me updated on how my pups are doing. She is very caring and sends pictures of my dogs having a good time at her place. If I ever need a sitter Staci is my first choice! You can trust her with your pets!”

“Victoria used to care for my cats when my husband and I traveled. She was caring and attentive in making sure they were fed on time and that their litter box was clean. She even took car to keep our apartment tidy. She’s also cared for her own dogs for many years and they are happy, healthy pups.”

About: Forgive the punny title, but I hope it made you smile! I absolutely adore animals and have been surrounded by them my entire life. From day one I’ve had dogs by my side, fish, birds, and rodents galore before my parents said, “Please! No more!” (Ok, the rhymes stop here😂) Eventually they signed me up to help and learn about larger animals, such as horses and other agricultural pets! Please let me share some of my love with your pet. I know lots of nice nature trails in the area for some good walks! I currently own a sweet 9 year old lab/blue heeler mix. She has the heart of a lab and the energy of a heeler! Trained her from when she was a sweet little pup and she’s comes so far. She makes a great walking companion if you would like your dog to have an energetic play date! I’m currently working part time as a nanny and I’m looking to fill my free time! I can do mornings, mid-days, and evenings as requested! I treat all animals with respect and upmost care. Please give instructions on particular care for your pet and I will follow them. I can also drive your pet to a trail for a nice scenic (leashed) walk if desired. A small example: “Please use the red leash/harness and give my pet X-amount of treats before you go.” Please provide your own treats/food to avoid any diet issues unless agreed otherwise.

About: Hello, my name is Sean I am a 26 yo animal lover and dog mom. I was raised on a farm, with all kinds of animals in my life since I was a kid. I love all kinds of four legged friends and others! I've worked with many pups since my first veterinary assistant job at 16 years old and followed with 3 more years of vet tech work. My own furry baby is an husky named Duncan Donut who is the rambunctious, sneaky, and handsome love of my life. I am confident I can restrain any wild child, read a furry side eye before mischief begins, and have plenty more 'dog mom' tricks to make sure all goes well with my furry friends. I'm excited to see what personality your pup has! I have a part time job at a dog rescue that keeps me busy Mon, Wed, Fri after 3pm and Saturday mornings until 2pm. Otherwise I’m available for walks and care during my free hours. I’m currently unable to accommodate pets at my home but am happy to come keep your pup company and make sure they get lots of love and everything they need.

“Helen is excellent with my dog Kano. I’m almost jealous because as soon as Helen gets here Kano immediately looses interest in me and hangs out with her. I would trust Helen with my dog anywhere.”

About: My first dog found me shortly after I was stationed at my first base. The day I met Bruce I felt companionship. After he moved on and I got out of the military, Tank found me. He thought me how animals can help you heal. We’ve been best friends 12 years now! I just want to give back and help dogs. That’s why I find this so great. Just to get a dog out for some needed exercise or to get some time with a human so they aren’t alone for a weekend. I do great with Bully breeds. I leave my dogs at home. I work different seasonal jobs. I’m available almost always during the cold winter months. Just moved to Bastrop for the winter. Looking for new clients For walking your pets I’m always aware of my surroundings to keep them safe. I understand all days are different and can take time to earn their trust.
