About Happy Tails Pet Care
Amy Fiala here, and I’m the founder of Game Time Dog Services – a dog walking and pet sitting service in Austin, TX .
We opened our doors in 2014 and boy have we come a long way. I absolutely, without a doubt, have the best job in the world. The Happy Tails Team is a caring group of individuals, and our clients are family!
I couldn’t operate this business without our amazing team of stellar dog walkers, so it’s a priority to me that they are happy and taken care of. When our employees are happy, they enjoy their job and take great care of our awesome clients. Dog walkers happy = clients happy = I’m happy!! It’s a full circle.
This business was a one-woman show when I started. I have learned loads about canines, dog walking, and people in my many years of experience. Each one of our walkers get trained by yours truly and is of the character that I would trust to take care of my fur babies in my home. Many of them, in fact, have done just that.
