PhD student with friendly fur buddy

Pet care experience

My name is Austin and I’m a PhD student at UVA! I offer mostly walking and drop-ins and can board depending on breed! I have a timid malti-poo named Theo and have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life. I love animals and am free during the days quite often with my PhD student schedule! I exercise often and can take dogs on runs and love to play fetch/tug-of-war. My townhouse has a backyard with plenty of area to run and get some energy out and I can gladly take them to a park or a field or go on a run throughout the neighborhood! I stay home most of the day and restrict contact with people to maintain social distancing and I always wear a mask when around others! Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions and I hope you and your furry friends are staying safe during COVID!

Austin was so friendly and welcoming to my little pooch! He accommodated my dog's special diet, and gave him lots of love. He sent photos and info while I was away. My little dog came back happy and healthy. Thanks so much, Austin!

Austin communicated easily with me. Very smart and friendly. I appreciated the “live update” photos during the walk.

I have known Austin for decades and he has consistently demonstrated a very high level of compassion and care for all canines. Being a dog owner himself, he has first-hand experience in handling and caring for a dog. He has personally taken care of my dog on several occasions and it is hard to pull my dog away from him when I return. His love and respect for animals are like no other that I have seen. I could not recommend someone more for this position.

Austin is a natural with animals! They are instantly drawn to him and he is so patient and gentle with them. He has endless energy and will play with them until they’re worn out.
