Pet care experience

Dog obsessed guy with flex schedule

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.

Safety, trust & environment

I am open to learning your pups schedule and habits to keep them comfortable. I am a believer that pups need and thrive the best with a set routine. I am unable to accommodate pups in my own home unfortunately.

Austin kept me up to date about Miller and took great care of him while I was out of town I would recommend him to anyone.

I felt so comfortable leaving my reactive German shepherd with Austin! He clearly knew how to manage big high energy dogs, we got lots of updates throughout his stay, and we'd definitely book with him again in the future.

Austin took great care with meeting my dogs in advance, answering all of my questions and asking a lot of questions. I felt my dogs were in great hands the whole time I was gone. Austin was sent frequent update and photos. Would highly recommend!!
