Highlights
Pet care experience
Will make your dog Airbud
The last two dogs I had were the best pets I've ever had, one in particular I took everywhere, hiking, running, swimming and even to play basketball. I even took her halfway up Mt. Diablo one time. I feel like every dog owner should expose their dogs to many outside environments, something other than there backyard or house. The only regrets I have about my past ownership is not taking my dogs out everyday. As an owner I believe that dogs should be treated more than just a convenient stress reliever. Dogs can be your closest friend so they ought to be cared for and treated like a great one. What I bring to the table is a genuine love for all dogs and an understanding of their needs.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
To start off, I always start off by caring for the pet as outlined by the owner (routines, feeding schedules, medications, things to avoid, walks). But in addition to that, I like to have some fun with the dogs that I sit. I will play with them a bit and in general just hang out with them.
Ratings and reviews
This was our second time having Austin stay at our place while we went out of town. We have adopted a new furry baby since the last sit so he basically walked in to a different dynamic. Austin is very clean and respectful. Our dogs are always happy to see him. Would absolutely recommend.
Austin was reliable, sent photos everyday and left the house clean. Our schedule changed and he was adaptable and understanding. We came home to a happy dog.
Austin did a great job of watching our 3 large dogs. One of them is 14 years old and he made sure that she was comfortable and relaxed while we were gone. He sent photos and updated us. We highly recommend him!
Austin took great care of the house and my little Goldie. The house was neat when I returned. Goldie was happy. Communication was timely. What more could you ask for?
Austin is great! He stayed at our house with our dog and he did a great job with Lily and also left the house spotless. He’s reliable and communicative and great with pups. Everything I could ask for!
Austin was wonderful with our dog Sky. He was so flexible with our schedule and went out of his way to come introduce himself/meet Sky before he watched her. He checked in throughout the duration of our stay and sent photos too. We can’t wait to use him for all of our future trips going forward!
