Boise native, loves foothills.

Pet care experience

I can start this off by promising if you choose me to take care of your pupper in any capacity, that they are going to have an absolutely amazing experience. Mostly because I will admit I am one of those people that loves dogs way more than people. Lol Now a little bit about me. I grew up in a very dog and pet friendly house hold. At one point we even had rats for quite a few years which was very fun. I’ve trained 2 of my own dogs since they were puppies. Just very basic stuff like being good walking on the leash, also being good walking off leash in the foothills and mountains. Also just basic obedience and a few very simple tricks. But I will say we get compliments from everyone who comes to our house on how well behaved our dogs are which I do take pride in now. Which is one of the many reasons why this is going to be a great job for me. Eventually I want to become a professional dog trainer. Currently I just drive for Lyft for around 30-35 hours a week. I spend the rest of my time taking care of my dogs and my girlfriend. I take my dogs on a 60-90 minute walk in the foothills every morning. Then I like to try and get them to the dog park for at least an hour every day. My dogs cannot have enough social interaction and attention lol. Also we usually go for a quick hike or walk in the foothills every night as well. Basically I am a super active person and love all pets, dogs being the ones I love the most. Also my dogs don’t fetch so if your dog loves to fetch bring me his favorite fetch toy and we will do that for hour and hours and hours as I love to play fetch lol. I have a fenced in backyard and my two dogs absolutely love every dog or person they meet so your dog will be in great company that I can promise. We live ten minutes from the foothills and a two minute walk from multiple parks so we are always out and about enjoying Mother Nature.

Got us in last second, and took great care of our pup over Christmas. Much appreciated!

Austin kept me updated throughout the day. My pup was exhausted after playing all day!

This was Junipers first time since being rescued from the pound 2.5 months ago. Austin and Jessica were amazing and let.me know how the day was progressing. I was really nervous as he can be a lot. I've booked a reoccurring spot and hope to have him stay for a brief work trip. Thank you both!

So the best way to describe my dogs day to day life is honestly the dream life for any dog. We do not have kids and these dogs are our first dogs so they live the most spoiled life ever. Every morning starts off with a nice long off leash walk in the foothills. Then at some point in the day usually get to go to the dog park for at least an hour. Then most nights we usually go on a 30-45 minute walk around the neighborhood after dinner. We buy them pretty expensive dog food also give them all sorts of doggy vitamins and nutrients so hopefully they live a few extra years. Oh and not to mention we actually had to write down our budget and look at it on paper to get ourselves to stop spending so much money on dog treats. Like I said they live an insanely amazing life for a dog.

Information Austin G. would like to know about your pet

Just let me know if there are any special needs your dog may need more attention for. Also if they have any type of behavior issues don’t like certain kinds of animals or people that’s good to know as well

A typical day

I am one of those people that cannot get enough of nature and the outdoors. So I’ll take your dogs on off leash and on leash walks in the foothills once or twice a day. Also we love the dog parks around town so will be taking them there as well if you’re okay with it.

Currently I just drive for Lyft part time for anywhere from 30-35 hours per week. And if you don’t know about Lyft I can do it literally anytime I want to. And right now I’m trying to get enough clients on here to start my own dog walking/sitting/outdoor adventure business.
