Pet care experience
I grew up in an animal loving home with cats, dogs, birds, rodents, reptiles, and fish. I have helped raise and breed Boston Terriers including some minor training. I have two cats of my own now - a Tabby and a Persian. The Persian does not have any eyes so I am no stranger to working with disabled animals. I pet sit for friends while they are on vacation which has included administration of various medications (antibiotics, ointments, etc.,).
Reviews
Austin is amazing. Our pets love him, even the less social cat. He has a calm presence that sets them at ease. Our dog thinks he’s the bee’s knees. He administers twice daily insulin injections to our cat, with no difficulty or distress on her part. The other cats all eat well (which, if you have cats, isn’t a given with different caretakers. Cats do NOT like changes.) He provides feedback as the booking progresses, so I never have to wonder if the pets are doing well. He is also very respectful of our home, and picks up our mail and brings in packages. We feel comfortable leaving him in charge of our pets and our house. This trip was amazingly restful because we weren’t worried at all about the pets. You just can’t buy that kind of peace of mind. If you need someone to look after your fur children and your home, you will never regret hiring Austin.
Highly recommend Austin! He was super sweet and understanding of our pups at our meet and greet. He stayed with our two dogs during part of our vacation and was super accommodating with the schedule of the other sitter, picking right up where she left off. House looked great when we got home and pups were happy! Thank you so much Austin!
Austin was very good at communicating and did a wonderful job taking care of my girls. We have a unique household and he was great at accommodations and making sure I knew how well the girls were doing. The biggest praise comes from my pups who were clearly much less anxious while we were gone. Will use again!
Once again, Austin was fab! He was able to handle initial separation anxiety shenanigans from Jake, providing real time updates and solutions. We appreciated the TLC and all the photos. He always leaves the house in great shape, too. PS Sunny is passed out after a weekend of fetching balls.
About Austin B.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I show my own animals, and any animal I interact with, the utmost respect and patience. Each animal is unique and will have different boundaries, needs, and trust towards strangers. Care for a furry friend includes the basics (shelter, food, water) but it may also include an energized tug-of-war session; or it may include simply sitting in the same room with an anxious animal. I am willing and happy to discuss and meet any care that your pet may need.
Information Austin B. would like to know about your pet
If your pet is on any medications, dietary restrictions, limited mobility, or you are actively working on training, then please be ready to discuss at the time of our meet & greet.
A typical day
I will follow your pets' standard routine - but if there are free-form portions I love playing tug with energetic pups and using wand toys on playful cats!
