I care for scales feathers and fur!

Pet care experience

I've loved animals as long as I can remember. At the age of five, I got my first two pets a pair of red-eared slider turtles. However, my love for animals didn't stop there as over the years I have cared for many pets including an Australian Whites' tree frog, several toads and frogs, bearded dragons, cats, a praying mantis, a bunny, and a tortoise. Which all led up to me getting my dog, Rose, at the age of 13. I love animals and I am currently in my third year of college pursuing a Zoology degree. Besides my experience of caring for all of my pets over the years, I have also pet sat on multiple occasions for others. I have watched various dogs, and in my most memorable experience I took care of two dogs and 25 guinea pigs for a week! I am happy to take care of any kind of pets you have whether it has fur, scales, feathers, or anything else!

Austin watched our 2 dogs. Our one dog is 13 yrs old and needs medication, which Austin followed our directions and requests taking care of our dogs. We were very pleased and we've already booked him for 2 more weekends to take care of our dear pets. Brenda S

Austin is extremely caring, dependable, and trustworthy. Rather if it's our puppy, senior dog, cats, turtle, or bunny, he treats each one with lots of love and attention. I highly recommend him to care for any of your pets. Overnight, for a few hours, or for a nice walk; they will be in good hands!

Safety, trust & environment

At my home we have three indoor dogs that I let outside as needed on a leash and feed once in the morning and again at night. Currently I am staying in a apartment on campus and have a pet toad that gets misted with water once per day and fed a variety of worms or other bugs every other day.

Information Austin D. would like to know about your pet

Before taking care of a pet I would like to know if it needs any medications if it has any special dietary needs and anything else that you deem important. I want to make sure I am capable of giving the best care possible that your pet deserves.

A typical day

I love going on walks with dogs and would be more than happy to walk with your dog around the neighborhood, at a park, or anywhere else. Also if a dog park or a suitable fenced in area is available I would be happy to play fetch or to let your dog run around. And of course, I will pet and play with your dog whenever it wishes!
