Highlights
Pet care experience
Cozy and homey care for your pup!
My name is Áine (pronounced Awn-ya) and my partner is Jared! I’m from Michigan and Jared is from North Carolina. We moved down to Austin in July 2023 so that I could start graduate school. I grew up with an F1B labradoodle, and my parents now have a Weimaraner (who I took care of for over a year). In 2022, I rescued Mr. Fionn, our Treeing Walker Coonhound, from the side of the road in rural eastern North Carolina. He wasn't potty trained, he was nervous, and he needed a lot of training, but he's really become such a wonderful companion. While Jared didn’t grow up with dogs of his own, he absolutely loves spending time with them now. I am happy to cater to each dog's needs-- whether it's a slower-paced walk, fetching a ball at the dog park, or even exploring state parks together. Fionn is always excited to meet his new playmates, too. We are really excited to meet your dog and help out in whatever way that we can. We hope to hear from you! :-) ‼️two things to note ‼️ -We cannot always accommodate constant/full-time care. As a PhD student, I am not at home full-time. Your dog with receive the same level of care as we typically give to our dog, Fionn. With that being said, your dog will always receive thoughtful, loving care! - We do not typically take puppies or small dogs. (We do have some exceptions, so feel free to reach out if you’re still interested.)

Ratings and reviews
Aine, Jared and Mr. Fionn are my favorite Rover sitters! It’s been a few days since pickup and Stella is still exhausted. Y’all are actual miracle workers!
Aine and Jared were great sitters for Buster! They took him in and gave him great care and attention. Jared even went jogging with Buster to make sure he got plenty of good exercise in. We got lots of great updates of Buster and Fionn playing together and enjoying each other’s company!
Our senior dog Charlie was happy and calm at Aine's. She and her partner gave him cuddles and scratches and the short walks he could handle. It was such a blessing to not worry about him while we were hosting our son's wedding. Highly recommend her!
Aine was amazing with Bono. Bono developed a severe allergy to something during his stay and Aine took Bono to our vet and even bathed him in the medication shampoo so he would feel much better. Though we were out of town, we felt comforted that Bono was in such good care. Thank you so much!
Aine, Jared and Fiona (their sweet pup) were incredible hosts and super easy to communicate and coordinate with. My dog can get scared easily and she was very relaxed and happy from the moment they met. Wonderful photos and updates a huge bonus.
Aine was wonderful for our dog, Mack. She was responsive and sent regular photos and updates! He was happy and had a great stay with her. Highly recommend!

Schedule
As a PhD student, I'm in and out of the house throughout the day, and can easily make adjustments to my schedule to fit the needs of each dog.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
The environment depends on what each dog needs. I can offer lots of stimulation, if needed, or quiet, safe space if that's what your dog prefers. I'm happy to walk reallllllly slow on walks so that dogs can get all the good smells, too.
