I love animals! Part dog myself.

Pet care experience

I'm very sensitive with animals and know that to have a relationship with one, they must accept you on your terms and come to you. Once they determine that all you want is to give love, they'll accept you loyally. I love pets and can't wait to get the chance to watch over and play with yours. Pet care fits perfectly into schedule. I'm healthy, active and able to walk and play with pets, during the day, for visits throughout the day or overnight. I walk daily and would love a partner. My backyard is fenced, a pet can go in and out as they please. I like to walk my dog 1-2 times daily depending on their level of energy and what they want. I enjoy walking with them as much as they do.

Our dogs love Austin! He was so reliable, coming around the same time each visit and they got lots of exercise. He was kind enough to arrange a new leash for one of our dogs when the old one broke. Our housesitter could not say enough great things about Austin!

I (and my dogs) couldn't be happier with Austin as my pet sitter. This was my first time ever leaving my pets with someone I didn't know, and Austin was so kind and patient with me and my pups. He is very gentle and calm, and sent me photos each day of my dogs as they were clearly getting increasingly comfy with him, both on walks and on Austin's bed. He really helped me enjoy my trip so much more known my dogs were so safe and nurtured. When I picked them up, they bounced between jumping on me and Austin to convey their excitement to both of us, and they kept running back into his house from the front door. They are clearly interested in spending more time with Austin, and I couldn't recommend him more.

Information Austin g. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know if a dog has particular injuries, allergies, or items or actions they don't care for. I'd also like to know its favorite treats and activities.

A typical day

I like to go on long walks with dogs so they are thoroughly exercised but not exhausted and let them off the leash in a safe setting and I run, play and engage with them. I live near Patrick Smith Park on East Alameda which is a great park for dogs which I visit daily myself.
