We LOVE What We Do!
Allie
Howdy! I’m Allie, Owner, Alpha & Founder of Let’s Walk Austin! I’m an Atlanta, Georgia transplant who now calls Texas, “Home Sweet Home!” Having grown up with dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, ducks and donkeys, animals are my love language! I started my career in dog walking back in Atlanta and quickly realized I just landed my dream job. When I moved to Texas, I emailed all the Austin dog walking companies asking even if they were fully staffed, to give me a chance! It worked and I joined Let’s Walk Austin in 2019. After 2 years of working for LWA, I bought the company and have been living the dream ever since! For the first couple years, LWA grew strictly on word-of-mouth and I couldn’t be more thankful for such incredible clients appreciating our hard work. If you know me, you know I will do ANYTHING for our LWA dogs! The rare time I’m not out walking our LWA pups, I am exploring with my husband, Alan, and our two rescued dogs, Maisy & Cowboy! They go EVERY WHERE with me, if dogs aren’t allowed, I’m not going!
As of September 2023, I have opened my THIRD branch in Houston, Texas!! Can’t believe this is my job, someone pinch me!!
Alan
Athens, Georgia (Go Dawgs!) native who followed my dog-obsessed wife out to Texas. I grew up training my own dogs for my hunting passion. Watching my dogs learn and grow beside me, built a deep connection with these incredible animals. After years of owning labs, my wife and I rescued a full blood labbit (lab-pit), Cowboy, to accompany our smart-as-a-whip, heeler, Maisy. And then Allie brought home a cat one day and now I am a “cat dad.” Our family of five does anything and everything dog friendly! You won’t ever find us without our two fur kids alongside. If I’m not at Jo’s Coffee with Maisy & Cowboy, you’ll catch me working with our Let’s Walk Austin pups!
So excited to be part of Allie’s dream-come-true job and meet all the precious pups in Texas!! And now Denver, Colorado! We want to meet them all!!
Hannah
Hey y’all! I’m Hannah and I’m a dog walker/sitter for Let’s Walk Austin and a proud dog mama of a cuddly Pitbull named, Dude, and a crazy Australian shepherd named, Heido! I’m also an Austinite born and raised and proud of it! I got paid to walk my first dog in middle school and have been absolutely obsessed ever since! I believe dogs make the world a better and brighter place and this belief led me to work as a pet sitter for the past decade. I also worked at an “open play” doggy daycare for 3 years and was able to learn so much about how dogs interact not only with us, but with each other. And I’m a psychology major at Texas State University and one of the most important things I’ve learned is that being in the presence of animals drastically improves one’s mental health AND physical well-being. When I’m not walking the pups of Austin, I’m usually watching movies or going out to eat with my husband and fur babies!

Amy
Hi Everyone! My name is Amy, and I am a Texas native. I moved from Ft Worth to Austin three years ago with my two little Yorkies, Mia & Maisy (aka the M&M’s). They are two precious little individuals with larger than life personalities and they show me unconditional love daily.
Growing up, I enjoyed parenting calico and tabby cats, a shitzu who thought he was a cat, a golden retriever, a boxer, three bunnies, two hamsters, a frog, and several fish. I also fostered a few more. I am beyond excited and honored to be a part of Let’s Walk Austin. I also have family members on this amazing team! I am a true caregiver at heart. I feel that animals are extremely therapeutic for people, and I enjoy devoting myself to give them the love they deserve in return.
When I’m not walking/sitting your adorable fur babies, I enjoy spending time with my boyfriend, baking, and taking photos of my pups in ALL their cute little clothes!
Kiara
Hey there! I'm Kiara, and I am absolutely thrilled to introduce myself as one of the New members of Let's Walk Austin! From the earliest moment I could remember I have been surrounded by animals! From farm animals, to pets, to random school pets + friends pets I brought over! Ive always had this deep passion for taking care of animals. I was that child that almost every few months would be bringing an animal home because I found it hurt or abandoned and I needed my mom and me to save it. As my love for animals continued to progress throughout my years, so did my own fur babies! I now have two black cats and a husky of my own that I love deeply!! Throughout the years I have explored many different jobs but something I have always been really consistent with is dog sitting. I dog sat on rover, for animal hospitals, or just for friends while they were on vacation. As I started to move around Rover became the easiest way to fulfill this deep love of being surrounded by animals!! When I moved last year to Austin Texas, I started to build up my own business and needed a more relaxing full time adventurous job! This is where let’s walk Austin came in!! My shinning gold opportunity! I was given this amazing opportunity to join this amazing company, that impressed me so deeply with their passion for their pups, the community, and overall life work! Honestly, I am so beyond grateful and excited to say I am now apart of Lets Walk Austin! I get to now really live in my purpose and enjoy my day to day taking care and loving your fur babies like they are my own!!
