Give your pup a vacation too!
Pet care experience
[Officially opening services back up as of April 2022!] Pets give us light in our otherwise mundane lives. They love us unconditionally; that's why we care so much about them! Hi, my name is August, and I want to help you care for your four legged family members. I understand the need to make sure your dog is taken care of while you're away; whether it be for a few hours or a few weeks, it still feels like forever! My experience comes from years of caring for my own dog, as well as caring for my clients pets since 2017. During the time I watch your pup, for however long, I consider them MY dog, and will treat them with that same love and care I would with my own! Some clients have called me a dog whisperer, others have said they've "never sent their dog warm up to someone so quickly". No matter the case, when I walk into your home to meet your pup they will sense my energy, nature, and presence, and as a result, your dogs response to me may surprise you! 🙂 As of now, I no longer offer services in my own home. However I am more than capable of checking in on your pets or watching them in the comfort of their own home through house sitting! I've done so multiple times before, so if you're looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter, you can rest assured your home and pet family will be well taken care of while I'm there. I usually prefer house sitting services to be at a 2-3 night minimum for booking, but I will generally be open to whatever my clients may need. (Please keep in mind only 80% of the final service price goes to me. Thank you!)
Reviews
Thank you for taking care of Penny, August! We are so grateful for your help. I loved the videos and photos you included as well.
Our pup came home happy and tired!
Skunk appeared to have a great time with August and each time I texted him to see how our fur baby was doing, August responded quickly and reassured this worrysome mom.
WOW! August is a natural dog whisperer. When I picked my puppy Penny up it was clear she had played all day as she was calm and extremely well behaved! I really appreciated all the amazing pictures that August sent me of my pup- he played with her extensively and even gave her special treats!! It is very clear that August has a strong compassion for animals and truly loves taking care of them. I hope my pup can stay with August often as I feel very fortunate to have him watching Penny- I really can't say enough good things about him! :)
About August T.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet is most comfortable when they are around familiar smells and a comfortable environment. When I watch your home and your furry family member(s), I make sure they feel at ease by taking my time with them, letting them acclimate, and making sure they know they are safe. I tend to try to perform the same routines as my clients to create a sense of familiarity and consistency in the home as well.
Information August T. would like to know about your pet
Let me know their name, favorite toys, favorite activities, temperament, routines, eating schedule, medication schedule if applicable, favorite treats, really anything that could help me get to know your dog better!
A typical day
It'll be non-stop pets, enrichment activities, basic training, fetch, and snuggles all day. I usually take pictures of their cute faces to send to their parents and then tell them how good they are!
Services
August can watch in your home
Availability
I am an art student and attend short classes, at most, only 1-2 days per week. This allows me ample time to attend to the pets in my care and offer my undivided attention to their needs, whether it be a 1 hour check or full time house sitting. I will always make time.
