DOG WALKING
Exercise is a fundamental need
Dogs used to get their exercise while doing their ‘job’ whether it be guarding the goats or hearing the sheep. Their ancestors would run and hunt for their food. Dogs need exercise to live balanced and happy lives.
A tired dog is a happy dog
A dog walk is physically good for them, but let’s not forget the mental benefits. Exercise can ease aggression and anxiety. If your dog doesn’t burn their energy with exercise – they may burn it by destroying the couch or your favorite pair of kicks.
We offer dog walking in all shapes and sizes
Different dogs have different needs and we personalize each service to your dog. We have the ‘working walk’ where we move at a good clip to burn energy. The lovely stroll to stretch the legs and get mental wheels turning with outside smells. The type of dog walk you get for your fur baby is completely your prerogative.

We had such a wonderful experience with the Game Time team! Amy went out of her way to meet our special needs and our puppy absolutely loved her walkers. We're sad to be moving and that we can't take them all with us!

What a great service and amazing people! My pups are old english sheepdogs and they can be a handful but game time takes them out 3 times a week and they absolutely love their dog walker! Sometimes we think they are more excited to see them then us, lol! They also go the extra mile and send messages with pictures every visit which always brighten our day! They are sensitive to training regimens and can be helpful with reinforcing behaviors you're working on with your pup. Price is comparable to similar services in the area.

I am so thankful to Amy and her wonderful team who was so enthusiastic and caring about my adopted girl Winnie and helped me transition through her death. Now I have Ms. Peach and she loves when GT comes and gives her lots of belly rubs and exercise. Currently, Peach is keeping her Grandma company during the day but I miss getting the detailed updates and cute photos to share with family. A WONDERFUL team to work with!!!

Game Time Dog Services is top notch. Here's few reasons why they are awesome: - They are a small locally owned business. Amy hires true dog lovers that really know how to handle dogs (unlike some of the big box dog walking services available, you never know what/who you are going to get). Her team is friendly and professional; my dog is so excited to see them when they come in our door. - They have an App! Life happens and it's easy to reschedule, add, cancel or send a note via the app. -Friendly staff who punctually email pictures and let you know if they did their business. - Reliable and helpful- We have a year old goldendoodle and there have been instances where there may be a torn up paper towel or once she even got sick, they have cleaned it up and let us know about the incident. Accidents happen and they were happy to help!

Our animal crew absolutely LOVES Game Time. We have two rescue dogs that are a bit leery of meeting new people, but they took to Amy instantly and quickly warmed to the rest of the walkers at Game Time. They clearly love animals and it puts our mind at ease knowing they are in such good hands. And they always take the cutest pics when they walk them!

I have Game Time walk my sweet Murphie 4 days a week and I have been so happy with the service. They take great care of our girl! We get a message about how her walk went with pics as well. Every time I have to adjust my schedule, Amy (the owner) is quick to respond and super-flexible. Highly recommend.

When we moved cities it took us a long time to get settled so having someone scheduled to walk our dog multiple times a week was a game changer. The dog walkers were all so friendly and happy to see our dog everyday! Exceptional service!

I love Game Time Dog Services! I have a very energetic 1 year old lab mix that needs to run (Rocky) and an older three legged dog (Juno) that needs lots of love and short walks. They are flexible in their service offerings and can come by mid-day to give both dogs exactly what they need. They are true professionals and always deliver - highly recommend!

I happen to be one of 'those' dog moms. Very. VERY Particular about their care. There are three people I would trust my fur-babies with and Amy is one of them, without hesitation. Besides dog-walking, her quality of pet-sitting for overnight, or longer trips is absolutely stellar. I get regular updates and pics of how my boys are doing and it is such a relief to know that they are SO WELL taken care of if I need to be away for any length of time. I highly recommend Game Time Dog Services!

LOVE Game Time. We've been using them for over a year and now won't use anyone else. Our pup loves every walker and she loves getting a little TLC in the middle of the day! They always respond quickly and are incredibly flexible with our crazy schedules. Highly recommend!

We started using Game Time Dog Services last year, and I have nothing but good things to say. We have two medium sized dogs that have quite a lot of energy. With my wife and I both working downtown full-time, they're often inside for long periods of time during the week. Game Time was able to service our area, and provide great and consistent visits allowing them to get walks, belly rubs, and potty breaks throughout the week.Game Time offers several services for your pooches, provides a way to check and change your scheduled walks/etc, and they're extremely flexible and responsive in general... they even helped us find a home for one of our Foster puppies by posting details on their site and social media to get the word out.They truly are dog lovers, and will give your pups the love and care you do, and now our dogs have new friends that come and visit them every week!

I started using this service about 2 months ago and wish I had started years ago. Amy and Greg are great!!! Greg is reliable and dependable and I feel at ease that my dogs are getting a walk and the care they need while I am at work. I sometime have to add an extra day of service do to my work schedule and Amy is always quick to help and get that set up. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a kind, friendly service for your pets needs!!!!

Amy did an amazing job with the guest baby (meatloaf). He listened to her command and when he was restless she went above and beyond to make sure he was well cared for. Amy I want to thank you for just being so warm spirited and so down to earth. If you are in need of pet handling for any occasion I recommend GameTime.

Game Time has done a great job walking our puppies once a week! Wylie and Amy are fantastic! From the get-go, Amy was warm, friendly, and cared about our pups. The first-time meeting went great and it showed how much they both liked dogs. Any time I had a schedule issue, Amy did a great job accommodating. I would recommend Game Time to anyone and everyone!

Have been super pleased with Amy and her Game Time team. They communicate well, and keep my dog active while I am away. They also have also been super helpful with some dog care issues that saved me lots of money at the Vet. They really know and love dogs.

Amy, Greg and he Game Time team are awesome. They take great care of my two older dogs, taking them on afternoon walks while I am at work. They get them fed and report any issues. They also send a photo of their time together which gives me piece of mind. Great customer service. Always flexible and willing to go the extra mile. My babies adore the Game Time team and always look forward to their visits. I highly recommend GameTome!

Wonderful experience working with Amy and Kristen! They cared for my fur baby from 8 weeks old until 1 year with weekly walks/playtime, as well as dog sitting when I was out of town. They are incredibly responsive, communicative, and readily able to help when I had some last minute work trips. They are my go to for dog walking/sitting in the Austin area.

Amy and the Game Time team are the BEST! They are dependable, reliable and trustworthy. Most importantly, they love our dogs like we do and we rest easy knowing our pups are well cared for. Their daily and overnight services are both great! I cannot recommend Game Time Dog Services more highly!

Game Time has been walking and caring for my dog since he was 7 weeks old. He is now almost 3.5. This was the first dog I've ever had and Amy's knowledge and history of the Great Dane breed made me feel incredibly comfortable. He has been well loved and well taken care of by the entire staff! I would and have highly recommended this company to care for your furry loved ones!

We love the Game Time team! We have a variable schedule that they accommodate with ease. They are reliable and responsive. Amy, Sharon, and Greg take care of our little guy named Benny (the dog). While he has come a long way since he joined our family, he's still a bit nervous and requires some special handling from time to time. Benny is happier and calmer than ever now that Game Time has entered our lives.

Game Time Dog Services is the BEST dog walker I've found in Austin - and they are very affordable. If I could rate them more than 5 stars, I would.Amy and her team routinely took my dog out every day for almost 6 months while the pup was growing up. I can say without a doubt it was a major influence on her growth and behavior during those early super-excited months. They help you customize your service too - everything from feeding medication, giving treats, different commands to practice during play, picking up packages, etc. It was really nice :)Thanks Amy + friends!

I can't recommend Amy highly enough! We have a crew of four dogs, overwhelming to say the least. They immediately could sense that Amy was a friend and I could tell that she felt the same way about them. Amy took care of them for five days for us. She sent text updates and pictures which were really comforting. Our crew suffers from allergies and she made extra effort to wipe their faces and paws, which offers them a lot of relief during these high pollen months. What really, really made me a life-long fan and loyal customer is the difference in the dogs when we came home. We've left them in the care of friends and family in the past, which I'm truly grateful for, but I have to say that the dogs have never been happy. We usually come home to a group of screaming mimies, frantically trying to say "we almost DIED without you"! This time, we came home to a group of happy, healthy, calm dogs. They were happy to see us, but they weren't stressed out and frantically distraught like they usually are. They were legitimately HAPPY. Thank you Amy and the Game Time Team!!!

Amy with Game Time is awesome and we will definitely have her back to sit for our two dogs. She texted us updates on the dogs and attached photos - so thoughtful! The pups were wiped out when we got home (thank you!!), I'm sure due to all the playtime and two-mile run :)The rates for services offered are reasonable and straightforward.
