Austin Dog Walking Services

Dog Walking Services in Austin, TX

Your cattle dog has a perfectly good sense of time, despite not having a wristwatch, or really, wrists. And you know this because by the time it’s 2:30, she’s stationed near the back door, switching between staring at you and staring at the leash on its hook. She couldn’t be clearer with you if she tapped out an email by paw and sent it to you.

Ask pet parents and they’ll tell you: some dogs track schedules with accuracy that embarrasses calendar apps. Push walk time back twenty minutes and you'll get feedback. It might come in the form of whining or pacing, or perhaps that specific guilty look they give you even when you’re stuck on a two-hour phone call you didn’t want to be on.

But this is reality, and reality doesn’t always cooperate so neatly with dog expectations. You're stuck on I-35 watching traffic barely move. Your afternoon meeting extends well past its scheduled end time. Or you're dealing with one of those Texas days where it's pushing 100 degrees and the idea of walking outside makes you want to cry.

Woofie's® of Austin Hill Country provides Austin dog walking when your schedule is packed. We show up consistently so your dog gets their walk even when you just can’t make the time.

Why Choose Woofie’s® for Austin Dog Walking?

Some dogs need to look closely at every single scent marker in the neighborhood. Every tree trunk, every fire hydrant, every spot where another dog paused yesterday. They have to look at all of it and it’s all equally important. Other dogs are born to run, and if you don’t give them a chance to do that, they’ll find a way to release the energy, quite likely into your favorite throw pillow. The one with the embroidery.

Here's what you can expect from our Austin dog walking service:

• Our walkers know how to read dog behavior — We determine quickly which dogs approach every stranger enthusiastically (friendship potential!) and which ones need distance and an air of calm reassurance. Your hyperactive terrier mix gets different handling than your cautious senior hound.
• You pick how long we visit — If your pup just needs a chance to use the bathroom and stretch their legs, we can keep it to 15 minutes. But if you’ve got a runner, we can schedule 30 or even 60 minutes to spend time with them and get them ready for a good nap.
• Safety comes first — We don’t want your dog running off because someone two doors down decided to blow the leaves off their driveway. That’s why we’re careful about using the right leash or harness and staying situationally aware. 
• You can see where we walked — And you can see how long it took too. It’s all tracked by GPS, visible at any time in our app.
• A complimentary consultation upfront — We get to know about your dog’s temperament and preferences while you evaluate whether we are a good fit, with zero pressure to commit.

Regular dog walking is about more than just wearing dogs out. It’s a way to keep their minds engaged and their hearts happy by letting them do new and different things throughout the day. Not only is it good for their physical health, but it also reduces anxiety, and curtails destructive behavior. And you get to make sure all this happens while you take care of other demands which require your time.
