From $50/nightPaws & Pizzazz Pet Care was born right here in Austin, TX out of a simple belief: every pet deserves to feel special, safe, and absolutely cherished — even when their humans are crazy busy. Founder Lena Torres built this business from the ground up with two hands, a whole lot of heart, and an undeniable love for animals of every shape and size.
What started as weekend dog walks for neighbors quickly grew into Austin's most trusted full-service pet care operation. Lena personally trains every team member on gentle-handling techniques, pet first aid, and the kind of warm communication that keeps pet owners actually feeling at ease while they're at work, traveling, or just catching a break.
We believe pet care should be bold, joyful, and 100% dependable. No vague update windows, no cookie-cutter routines — just personalized attention that honors every pet's unique personality. Whether your dog is a chaotic golden retriever or your cat is a dramatic diva, we're here for all of it, full-throttle.
Austin pet parents trust us because we show up — consistently, enthusiastically, and with genuine care. We're proud to be a small business that makes a big difference in the lives of local families and their four-legged members every single day. Paws & Pizzazz isn't just a service. It's a community.

Real reviews from real neighbors who trust us with their real fur babies.
"Lena and her team are an absolute lifesaver! I travel for work every other week, and knowing my Lab, Duke, is being walked and boarded by Paws & Pizzazz is the only reason I can focus at the airport. They send photo updates every single day — Duke looks happier with them than he does with me honestly. I've recommended them to everyone in my South Austin neighborhood."

"My golden retriever Sophie used to get so anxious at the groomer she'd shake the whole time. After one session with Paws & Pizzazz she actually wagged her tail walking back in the next appointment — I literally teared up. The full grooming package is worth every penny, and Sophie comes out looking like a show dog. Booking every 6 weeks now without question."

"I was nervous handing over the keys to my apartment for the first in-home sitting visit, but Lena was so professional and communicative from day one. My two cats Noodle and Dumpling were totally relaxed when I got home — no hiding, no howling. They even had little notes about each cat's behavior during the visit. That level of care and attention is genuinely rare. Paws & Pizzazz has a customer for life."
