Pet care experience

No dog too big or small

I'm available for drop-ins and dog walking everyday unless requested off through the calendar. Most of my experience is with cats and dogs as I have 3 of each. I started dog walking on Rover October of 2023. I do my absolute best to provide excellent pet care and keep detailed notes for ease of mind. I am also insured through Pet Care Insurance and can provide my policy number if requested. I'll treat your pet as if they were own and will accommodate most requests to insure a job well done.

Safety, trust & environment

I have pet care liability insurance for peace of mind of the owner and myself. I always take precautions before walking dogs when it's warm outside. By applying the back of my hand to concrete or asphalt I can determine if it's okay for us to walk in the shade or if we'll have to do another activity.

Our two barn cats love Austen! They always run to greet him with their tails in the air.

Austen was awesome! He provided really detailed visit summaries with lots of pictures. We rested easy knowing that our cat was getting such wonderful care. Our area also had a power outage and he even looked up how to reset the fridge to stop the outage beeping. We would use him again in a heart beat and happily recommend him to others!

Austen is very professional and took very good care of our two cats while we were away. We appreciated all the photos and details he provided about each visit. We'll definitely rebook with him. Hands down the best service we've had with Rover. Thanks Austen!

Austen was patient with my shy cat, so patient that my kitty built up trust and started coming out for pets and cuddles. Austen kept things tidy and followed instructions well! He went above and beyond.

I'd appreciate knowing if the dog is friendly to strangers and other dogs. Is the dog reactive to anything? How does the dog do in the heat or cold? Overall I'd prefer to know if there is anything that I should concern myself with for the safety of your pet, myself, or other people.
