Will exercise dog, always with dog

Pet care experience

I've been a responsible dog owner since I was a child, raising puppies and caring for senior dogs. I will always be with your dog! I'm comfortable with multiple dogs and I've raised shelter dogs with temperament issues. I'll be a senior at the University of Puget Sound studying biology; I've been lucky enough to take the Dogs course and other courses on animals and behavior. I miss my dogs back home and would love to give yours all my attention! My services include the bonus of my girlfriend who has volunteered at shelters and raised special needs elderly pets her whole life, and similarly misses her dogs back home. I am physically fit and more than willing to exercise your dog! Flexible with requests and able to transport.

Our dog, Iris, hurt her leg less than a week before our trip. She needed to be crated and medicated -- and Austin handled it all with ease. We appreciate his kindness and easy-going-spirit. Iris came home well rested and well taken care of.

Austin Caras is a very responsible person and a dog lover! He has had a total of 7 dogs in his lifetime and has made them all feel special and loved. Austin understands that dogs need to feel like part of a pack and that they need to be exercised and cared for.

My dog loves Austin and that is really saying something since she doesn't like very many people. He is so patient, caring and just really enjoys spending time with dogs! He is very responsible and will take great care of your doggo!

Austin is a caring guy who has grown up with multiple dogs and knows how to care for his pets and other's. He's experienced in caring for animals, ranging from helping a stray cat to raising puppies. He knows what he is doing and loves to do it. All my experiences with Austin have been great ones!
