Premier Pet Care Professional
15+ Years of Expert Care for Chattanooga’s Pets Peace of Mind Guaranteed Do you get anxious leaving your pet behind? Have you had less-than-stellar experiences in the past? When you book with me, you aren’t just getting a sitter; you are securing top-tier care for your family member. My goal is simple: provide the absolute best experience for your pet so you never have to worry. Why Clients Choose Me: Experience: I have over 15 years of experience handling dogs and cats of all breeds, temperaments, and sizes. I am strong enough to safely handle large breeds and gentle enough for the smallest kitten. Knowledge: I stay up-to-date on the latest pet care and safety protocols to handle any situation that arises. Proven Reliability: My reviews speak for themselves. Because I provide a premium service, my schedule fills up very quickly—often 2 months in advance. My Schedule & Availability My work schedule has recently shifted, so please review to see if we are a match: Fri–Sun: My weekends revolve entirely around taking care of your pets! Tue/Thu: I work on-site but can often accommodate lunchtime drop-ins depending on your location. Mon/Wed: These are longer work days for me (sometimes 9–12 hours). However, I have a trusted associate who assists me to ensure your pet never goes too long without a potty break or attention. Note: If your dog is comfortable with a standard workday alone, I am a perfect fit. If they need midday care, let's discuss if my associate is available to help! Rates & Add-Ons Training: I love working with dogs! If you’d like me to reinforce training or teach new skills during their stay, let me know. Cat Owners: My cat-only rates reflect travel time for single visits. However, if you are booking for both dogs and cats, I am happy to adjust the cat rate down for you—just ask!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Very kind and provides clear communication/ expectations! Can tell my dog was well loved while I was gone - Grateful to have him as a Sitter
Always great with Daisy. She loves him!
Thanks again!
Austin is great with Daisy. He is gentle with her and she can be a little hyper. She loves him!
From the first moment the dogs and cats met Austin, they were comfortable around him and we knew we found the right sitter. Everything went really good while we were gone and we loved getting photos each day. We highly recommend Austin and will definitely be using him again.
Austin is great!

Schedule
I work on-site at my other job Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. This puts me out of the house for roughly 8-9 hours on those days. Mondays I'm gone for 12 hours. The days I am not at work are spent running around town taking care of the cities animals. Due to the nature of working with animals sometimes my timing on drop-ins and walks can vary day to day. I promise to get as close to agreed upon times for these events as possible and will keep you updated should anything cause changes to that timing. NOTICE: I cannot adjust the timing but I have adjusted my rates around the following expectations. When requesting a drop in visit from me that is generally what I look at to be around a 15 minutes max, take care of necessities visit. This would look something like arriving feeding your animal and allowing it to go potty or anything else it needs then leaving. If you would like more time spent with your animal via walking or extra play time then please book the appointment as a walk. I just want to make sure I am transparent as to my process so that we are all on the same page.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in an apartment. We do have lots of dog accomodations on site for the pups ( play areas, baths etc). I only live with my fiance and a cat so the environment is very relaxed. At your place I will obviously follow whatever type of exercise and daily routine you normally have them do.

A typical day
My goal is to provide your animals with the best experience possible, without throwing off their routines and comfort. I aim to be an extension of you for your animals. Any activities you and your animal regularly enjoy I am more than happy to also do.
