Fenced garden, dog is never alone!
Pet care experience
Hi, I'm Austin, and I'm a student at Georgetown University. My roommates and I live an active lifestyle in Burleith in a 4-bedroom house. We have a fenced-in back garden with trail heads into Glover Archbold park just a few blocks away. We've all grown up taking care of dogs. Being a student, I will be out of the house for about 2 hours each day in the mornings, but there will always be someone with your dog, as someone is always home! We spend a lot of our time outside in the back garden, so your dog will get plenty of chances to run around, in addition to being walked 3 to 4 times a day. We also live a few blocks from Volta Park, where I can take your dogs to socialize with their fellow canines!
Reviews
Austin took care of my dog Cinnamon two weekends in a row. He was great - super flexible about timing, came and hung out with Cinnamon in our apartment and took her out for long walks. She enjoyed her time with Austin!
Austin was terrific. Very warm and friendly. Challa had a great time. Would definitely use him again.
Austin and his housemates were lovely to work with and Twiggy came back from her stay with them happy and relaxed. She's a pretty shy pup, but they made her feel comfortable right away, and I was surprised to see that they got her to eat well during the stay. Austin went above and beyond to take Twiggy on a couple special outings to parks, which I totally appreciated.
Austin! Where to begin...I was worried at first because it was my first time leaving my puppy, Billy, into another person's home for an extended period of time. I was going on vacation for about a week and needed a neighbor/friend to take care of Billy. Although I didn't know Austin that well, the second he and Billy met I knew my doggo was in good hands. It's hard to describe Austin's natural touch with dogs/animals in general. He has a calm demeanor and is not afraid to get a little dirty (both of which are necessary when it comes to watching Billy)! I came back from vacation anxious to see how my little friend was doing, and I was amazed at how difficult it was to get Billy to come back to our house - they absolutely loved each other! I don't know what it is, but dogs seem to love him! Living in my neighborhood, I see Austin playing with dogs every chance he gets (I imagine he dreams of playing with them), and you can tell the dogs enjoy it just as much as he does. I highly recommend Austin to be your dog-sitter; you won't regret it!
