About Austen R.
Communication
Skills
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.
Information Austen R. would like to know about your pet
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.
A typical day
A walk is always my favorite thing to do if the dog is up for it. Some dogs aren't great on leashes or would prefer playing in the backyard. It really depends on the temperament of each individual dog.

Pet care experience
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.
Reviews


Austin did a last min drop in for me I was so greatful i chose him he communicated and my dogs loved him . I like how he followed directions. I'll definitely use him again next time.


Austen just finished 6 days of drop-in visits for our two outdoor cats… fresh food and water daily. He is extremely reliable and our cats adore him. He takes the time to give each one lots of attention and pets AND takes amazing photos. Great caretaker!

My dog has been pretty exhausting on th leash, but after two walks with Austen, he has stopped pulling anywhere near as much as he used to. He seems professional and confidently knows his stuff. I'd highly recommend.

Thanks for a great job!
