Pet care experience
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!
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!

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.
Information Austin D. would like to know about your pet
I'm patient with pets. I'm happy to meet and take it slow with the more reserved ones, and I won't shy away from the more aggressive or excited ones! All I ask is that you tell me what I need to know about your precious boo. I don't discriminate against any pet, at all!
A typical day
I will give your pet all the lovin', snugglin', and rubbin' their hearts can take! I will shower them with as much or as little attention as they need! And without a doubt, I will make sure they are fed and watered according to your specifications. Whether it’s a dog walk or a visit, I can follow your precise instructions, whether that be around behavior management, taking them on structured walks, or even going to the dog park!

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!
