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.)
