“Your dog’s favorite walker! :)”
I grew up caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments in my grandmother’s kennel and that experience is what made me a dog person... just don’t tell my cat I said that! I walked for Wag for two years before becoming one family’s personal pet assistant, and then retired from that to work at my local animal shelter. I have some free time again and miss meeting new dog friends, so I’m back and ready to help make you and your pups life a little easier! :)

I'm a currently enrolled college student born and raised here in Austin. I play soccer and love being outdoors with my dogs. I own two Australian cattle dogs and love walking them through the neighborhood or sometimes running them at a park. I have taken a first aid trauma medical course from San Antonio SWAT team members and always carry a first aid kit in my truck. I've pet-sat for many family members and neighbors for short and extended periods of time, as well as volunteered at the Austin Pet Shelter. I really like dogs, they're the most loyal animal, and I secretly feel that I'm a dog whisperer. I look forward to meeting you and your dog, and gaining both of your friendships!

Hello! I am so happy to be a dog walker on wag! I have grown up with dogs all of my life, including my German shepherd mix that I currently own. I grew up in Houston either pet-sitting or walking dogs of all breeds...anywhere from chihuahuas to bull mastiffs. Big or small I love them all. I will always make sure that they are happy and comfortable with me!

Dog Walking in Martindale
The infamous town of Martindale is 30 miles south of Austin, surrounded by old farmlands and great places to go camping. The old-timey feel of the city has been used by many film scouts over the years, reoccurring in scenes from different drama and horror movies. The movie never ends for Martindale's dogs, since the area is rich in natural and developed places to walk and spend some outdoor time with Fido. And while Martindale is too small for its own veterinary clinic, one can be found just 5 miles away in San Marcos.
The Allen Bates River Park is the largest park in the city, resting right on the shore of the San Marcos River. Grassy fields cover the park with scattered trees, dirt walkways, and access to the river for swimming and fishing. The park also includes a basketball court, swings, a pavilion, a playground, trash bins, and benches. Dogs do not have to be on a leash inside this park.
The Spencer Canoes & Shady Grove Campground is a well-maintained area with multiple camping spots, open space, and wooded trails. The grounds have picnic tables, a pavilion, and plenty of space to run around and set up your tents with your pooch. You'll have to come prepared with water and clean-up bags, but dogs do not have to be on a leash inside this park.
Martindale provides residents with a cozy and quiet place to live and play with Fido, so make this town the backdrop to your own buddy flick!
