Pet care experience
CEO of Darn Good Belly Rubs
Hi, I'm Austin. I love animals of all kinds, though I currently have none of my own, so I'd love to hang out with yours ;) I am very attentive to the needs of both you and your pet. I will follow directions precisely to ensure proper care and that I meet your expectations. I'm more than happy to accommodate you and your pet. I have had dogs and cats (and even a fish) all my life, except for the past few years when I have instead opted to love other people's pets as my own by petsitting for friends and family. Please allow me to show some of that love with your pet, and I promise that neither you nor they will be dissatisfied! Most importantly, I will ensure that I cater to the needs of your sweet baby. I want nothing more than to chill with and take care of your scrumptious muffkins (was that too much? nah, that's just how excited I get about the prospects of meeting your pet-eroni!) Please reach out and we can talk about details - I'm more than happy to answer any questions! If you’re wondering why my latest reviews are from 2021, it is because I stopped dogsitting for the past two years due to my previous work schedule. Now I’m back in action baby! Rest assured that I’m the same person as I was two years ago, with the same about of care and love for animals, so I still intend to provide the highest quality of care!

Safety, trust & environment
When taking dogs on walks, I ensure that the leash, harness, and collar are securely fitted. When caring for them within your home, I will make sure to follow your directions to a tee.
Ratings and reviews
We were very fortunate to meet Austin for watching Roo, my 6 month old Shih Tzu during my daughter's wedding. Austin did a visit with us ahead of time to get to know us and the actual wedding day he did 3 visits with play time, walks and potty breaks, - even a trip to the park with photos of the beautiful fall landscape! We both couldn't be happier! Hire Austin! You'll love him!
Austin will never know how much I appreciated seeing a picture of each my kitties while I was gone! I’m not sure they missed me!?
He was patient and loving to my dogs with two drop in visits. So grateful!
Austin was the best and kept me updated with pocs and videos of my Dexter multiple times a day. I will definitely use him again!
Austin was great!! He was flexible with pick up and drop off times and sent a lot of updates. He made sure our dog was comfortable and had a lot of outside time. I would highly recommend Austin and use him again!
I am visiting Asheville on vacation and left my pup with Austin for a few hours while doing some non-dog friendly activities. My pup can be wary of strangers and Austin gave her time to explore the house and the yard to make her feel comfortable. I’d be a repeat customer if I lived in the area!

Schedule
I’m currently a graduate student pursuing a Masters in Social Work. I attend school all day Mondays and Tuesdays, and am unfortunately unavailable those days. The other days, my schedule tends to be wide open, so please, book a home visit or dog walk!
