Our boy Mo aka Molty aka Moshi has been coming to Walk ATX since 2022. As many of you, our doggo is…read moreour family and we want only the best of the best for him. It is difficult to find a doggy boarding/day care that provides such well rounded, holistic approach to pet care. We have used Walk ATX for boarding, day camp with pick up and drop off included, and for in home check ins with walks. As well as their add-ons like baths and fun photoshoots. Mo is a party animal - we are constantly training, working with him and we fill all of his needs. Yet he is an energetic, happy 2.5yo rescue from Austin Pets Alive. He is a foster win actually. He's always soooo excited when he realizes he's about to get dropped off at Walk ATX and he's welcomed with big smiles and a huge "Hi Mo!!!!!" by the passionate and hard working staff. Walk ATX does pack walks, outdoor playtime in their yard with staff assigned to different groups of dogs. I love that there's constant supervision and a structured day. Including rest/down time, which is just as important as to not overstimulate the doggos. It seems as if Walk ATX has only gotten better over the years. They've incorporated training, special add-ons, and cool adventures. Last time Mo stayed with them while we were in Costa Rica, Britton and the team were super attentive (Mo was on limited activity for the first few days per our vet), and even called to give an update, in addition to their daily updates via email and on their app "Time to Pet". I know Mo is cared for and looked after by a group of caring animal lovers.

This review is only based off of my experience/ first impressions and this business may work amazingly for your dog! Once I found Walk ATX it took me a while to get in contact with someone, called a couple times, left a voicemail, sent a couple emails -to no avail! Sent a dm on insta as a last resort and finally got in contact with someone! Yay! Erika helped me set up my account and went over daycare. Dropped my pup off for his first day! First impressions matter to me and as someone who is nervous I would have loved to see them greet my dog. Instead the woman at the front ( not sure her name - mullet - immediately went into a quick " take off the leash. What's his name? You'll get an update at 11" And then I watched her usher him straight to the backyard. No saying hi to the dog, no convo with me, no easing his nerves, no questions about him, no petting him, no introductions, nothing. I didn't love that, especially since it was our first time and it made me much more nervous to drop him off there. Around 11:00 I started to look for updates, none. Tried to call 3 times, no answer. Again this is his first day so not hearing anything on how he was doing and getting no photos - nerves then rose to an all time high. People are allowed to have bad days so will update this after a few more times. Just know the first day is not as informative or warm may not be as warm as you'd expect.

Nicole and her team are AMAZING! Nicole was referred to me by a friend of mine (so, word-of-mouth)…read morewhen we were in a pickle to get care to look after our 2 fur-babies while we went out of town the week of Thanksgiving. With not much notice, Nicole helped us out and had us covered for when we needed pet sitting. She asked all of the right questions, sent us photos every day of our babies (who we missed the entire time) and let us know (because we asked) when they were being cared for. I cannot tell you how much comfort it brought us to know that people like Nicole and her team were taking care of things while we took a whirlwind trip to get away on a Holiday week. I always say-you can't put a price tag on peace of mind but it's even better when that price tag is affordable and not breaking the bank for quality care! The price is extremely reasonable for the quality of care you get here. I'll never use anyone else and I can't recommend them enough! Seriously. Look no further!

Since he was little Mufasa has always had the same dog nanny to walk and play with him every weekday afternoon. My husband and I work long hours out of the house and believe allowing an animal to stay alone is unhealthy emotionally and physically for them. When we relocated from North Austin to South Austin, which is like moving to another city in most Austinities minds, we left behind Mufasa's dog nanny. THREE pet sitters later, all of who are on YELP, we found Capcity Pet Sitting. Capcity Pet Sitting has been a blessing to my peace of mind. I can tell when a person doesn't have the time to really put into caring for a dog and when a company is just in it for the transactional benefit. Will and Claire ENJOY taking care of our Mufasa and it shows in his attitude at the end of the day. Will and Claire always keep me updated on how the day went and any new behaviors I need to be aware of or keep an eye on. Mufasa is always played out by the time we get home and I know he's enjoyed his visit with Will and Claire. I hope we have the privilege of working with Capcity Pet Sitting for many years to come. I can't express enough how much we highly recommend them. Stephanie

We were referred to KaryLyn Blix (owner of Heavy Petters) from a neighbor and could not be happier with her dog walking and pet sitting services. We have been clients of KaryLyn's for almost 3 years now and she is a godsend! Her prices are very reasonable, she is reliable, trustworthy, and an overall pleasure to work with. She really has become part of our family. We never have to worry about our dogs while they are with KaryLyn! KaryLyn offers a variety of services ranging from mid-day visits to "doggie field trips" to "pet taxis" - useful for a pick up and/or drop off at the vet/groomer during the work week. We really love her overnight options too - we just leave on business trips or vacation and know the dogs and our home are in good hands with KaryLyn - no dropping off or picking up at boarding facilities! I have recommended KaryLyn to quite a few friends, who have nothing but wonderful things to say as well. Give her a call!

She is smart, reliable, insured, bonded, professional and affordable. We live in the 4 Points area and we trust her with our fur babies and home. We have 1 Cat and 4 Dogs, 2 of our dogs are blind and can be a handful due to age and a neurological issue. Eve puts in the extra work and does not upcharge us for them. We are always sent a text when she arrives, leaves and pics of them throughout her visit! I seriously can not say enough good things about her and her husband. They are our go to pet sitters!

We started chatting and in addition to pet…read moresitting, dog day care and other services, I discovered that she did dog grooming AND she comes to your house. My dog Leroy was with me and I asked how much for bath and nails. Her prices were comparable to those local chain groomers in the pet stores without all the drama of bringing them there, having them kenneled and leaving. I took her card and scheduled an appointment, which happened this afternoon. I asked her what she would need, and she said she brought most of her own stuff and just asked that I provide the towels. She is however, happy to use any products you wish to provide. Lori texted me a day before, and arrived promptly at the designated time. While she was bathing them, I could hear her sweetly talking to them and keeping them calm and happy during their baths, drying and nail trim. She treated them like they were her dogs. Within an hour and a half, I had two freshly washed, nail trimmed, happy dogs. Leroy and Ivy are stylin' now! Woof! I had her use my guest bath (but you can have her also bathe them outside). When she was finished, she cleaned up the area thoroughly and I had the sweet smell of clean dogs. So if you are like me, and need a little help with the fur kids, I suggest you give Lori at Paws2Paws a call. Leroy and Ivy each give Paws2Paws 5 paws up!

She doesn't just walk them though, she interacts with them, giving them love and exercise.

They no longer send photos to us as proof of walk and validation our dogs are happy. Rather than send photos to the owners, they take photos which are relayed back to corporate. I'm to believe this change is somehow beneficial to me? They have stated they no longer have the capacity to manually relay photos to clients, but ARE able to manually relay photos to corporation. A tad counterintuitive and certainly not focused on customer. They've also stated having a lock box at my house makes me more secure because they no longer hold onto keys. Sure, unless someone takes the box, their employees access my house after hours, etc...It's the same situation as before except more people have access to my keys than before. OH, and every update they give us online are EXACTLY the same day after day after day. Clearly, my dogs do not pee and poop the same number of times weeks in a row. They continue to insist clients love all their changes and fail to acknowledge any decrease in service as a result. It's "my perception," which clearly doesn't matter and is dismissed as a minority view rather than at all validated. What was once a good business has taken a hit. UPDATE: NO phone calls. No responses from the Dog Butlers. Having now talked to friends, found out they've dropped Austin Dog Butler.
