"Finding a trustworthy walker in Downtown Austin can be incredibly daunting. Marcus from Austin Paws has been absolutely wonderful with Cleo. The GPS mapping and bathroom check-in notes keep me stress-free while working!"
Sarah J. & Cleo
Downtown Austin Parent"Our puppy Winston has so much excess energy. The Puppy Social Visits are a complete lifesaver. Marcus handles crate reinforcement perfectly, and Winston always falls asleep right after they complete play sessions."
Robert L. & Winston
