Dog obsessed guy with flex schedule

Pet care experience

I have extensive experience caring for dogs and cats having grown up with multiple breeds, including two Dalmatians and a Shih Tzu. Currently, I am the proud owner of Boog, a 112 -pound Great Pyrenees mix whom I adopted as a rescue. My lifelong love for animals extends to caring for pets of friends and family for many years. I am committed to providing the same level of love and care to your pets as I do to my own. I currently have a flexible schedule as I work a remote job full time at home, allowing me to easily accommodate working from your home while sitting for your pets. I am reliable, responsible, and will keep you updated on your pet's well-being after each visit. My experience as a dog parent to a reactive dog has taught me how to adapt to individual needs and handle a variety of situations, making me well-prepared to care for dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments. You can count on me to provide attentive, loving care for your furry family members. Important information- Since my own dog is highly reactive to other cats and dogs, I am not currently able to use my own home for services. As such, He would not be with me during my time with your pet. I recognize the importance of understanding and addressing your dog’s unique needs to ensure their care is both safe and comfortable. Whether it involves dietary restrictions, administering medications, managing mobility challenges, or accommodating specific behavioral quirks, I believe in the value of open communication to ensure every aspect of your dog’s well-being is thoughtfully considered and met.

Austin was great! He helped us out on a last-minute request, and the dogs loved him. He sent us a thorough update with great photos that put our minds at ease. Friendly and a great communicator. Already have him booked for our next trip!
