I'm a first time dog mom and am very worried person - I totally trust Ken Walks Dogs. They send photos and updates and are super easy to book through the app. My dog can't wag her tail hard enough when they pick her up - and she naps for hours when she's back from her adventure. Honestly, book him just for the professional style photos and videos! Keep coming back for the joy he brings your pup.

I loved these days because when she came back, I knew that she had enjoyed hanging out with other pups and getting to walk in some of Austin's beautiful parks. I could feel good about my dog traveling safely, because they have Commercially Insured Pet Taxi licensure (the last company I utilized didn't have any kind of safety measures when traveling).In terms of management, you can read the website to get a feel for how this company is managed, or I can make it easy and just tell you that Ken is a very hands-on, engaged owner. He is willing to work with clients to meet their individual needs. He responds to every text within a few hours. He hires great people -- trustworthy, reliable people -- who love animals, making you feel good as you send your pup out the door.

They do it all from dog walks, excursions, daycare, and boarding and can always count on them for taking excellent care of my dogs. Brandy and Jordan take the time to really get know your pets and needs. One of my dogs has had several health issues /developed special needs over the years and couldn't trust anyone more than both Bandy and Jordan as they have the experience to ensure that he is well taken care of. In addition, they were lifesavers as they even helped with post-op care after my same dog had orthopedic surgery. Finally, I credit my dogs' well behaved social behavior to Paw Patrol as Brandy and Jordan have taught them social skills to get along with other dogs as well as off-leash walking for excursions. I couldn't ask for better caretakers and my dogs love them too!

If my dogs weren't already used to their walker, I'd leave. Changes as of late have made this…read moreservice less than what it once was. No longer send email updates on walks. 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.

Halfway through the year, the individual walking my dog changed and the process went very smoothly (the old walker even introduced the new walker to my dog so he would have a familiar face for the first introduction). I could not be more pleased with the service from Austin Dog Butler.

My family and I have been consistently using Hound for Hound's services 3-5 times a week for the past year, and I must say, Matt has been nothing short of phenomenal. Living in East Austin, we've seen our fair share of unpredictable weather, but Matt's commitment never wavers. Rain or shine, cold or hot - he's there, ensuring our beloved Buca gets his much-needed walks and care. What truly sets Matt apart is his reliability and honesty. He's not just a dog walker; he's become a part of our extended family. This was especially evident during our month-long trip out of the country. Austin faced some serious freeze days, and it was over the Christmas holidays, yet Matt was there, braving the elements to make sure Buca was well looked after. He didn't just walk Buca; he provided him with the love and attention he missed from us. He would would share GPS tracking and pics of Buca daily and to the extent of taking off his gloves in the freeze to snap videos while he was walking him to share with us Hiring Matt from Hound for Hound is a decision you won't regret. He's a true professional who goes above and beyond, not just in his duties, but in his genuine care for the pets he looks after. We are eternally grateful for his services and cannot recommend him enough. If you're seeking someone who will treat your pet with the same love and care as you do, look no further than Matt and Hound for Hound. Thank you Matt, Buca & Conway Family
