Highlights
Pet care experience
Supervision & fenced yard
I specialize in providing large dogs (but host all sizes) a happy and comfortable environment with plenty of room inside and outside to play and relax. I host only one client at a time unless permission is given by the owners so that you know your dog has the upmost attention. If enough notice is given, I can even bring your pup with me to work pending applicable vaccinations required at my work. I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and other pets. I currently live in a home with a fully fenced yard, which provides a safe and secure place for dogs to play and get plenty of exercise. I also have a friendly Black Lab who gets along great with other dogs and enjoys having new friends to run around with. For three years, I volunteered at a veterinary hospital where I helped care for dogs and other animals. That experience gave me valuable hands-on experience working with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and needs, and it helped me develop a strong understanding of responsible and attentive pet care. Over the years, I’ve also house-sat and pet-sat for many friends and families while they were out of town. I take pride in making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding routines, or simply keeping them company, I treat every pet as if they were my own. In my professional career, I work in Human Resources, where trust, responsibility, and reliability are essential. I understand how important it is to feel confident about who is caring for your pets and home. I’m always happy to provide updates, photos, and regular communication while you’re away—even daily if you’d like—so you always know how your pets are doing. If you’re heading out of town, you can relax knowing your pets will be cared for in a safe, comfortable environment by someone who genuinely loves animals and takes the responsibility seriously

Ratings and reviews
Austin did an amazing job communicating with us and updating with pictures. My dog is usually pretty anxious with other dogs but we arranged a meet up which I appreciated and she got along great with Lucy! He was also very considerate and flexible with pick up time changes when we hit some travel complications. Overall I would highly recommend for anyone needing their dog boarded.

We are so grateful for Austin! He took the time to come over for a pre-booking visit to ensure a smooth handoff with one of our dogs, who is very particular about new people. Great communication and care. We’ve already rebooked with him!


Austin has watched my pup a few times now and he always communicates with me through out the day to check in and give me updates. There are few people I trust to watch my big dog but he is one of them!

He is just absolutely awesome with Nova. I never have a doubt she is well cared for. Have used Austin a few times and it is always a great experience. Highly recommend.

Austin was a great dog sitter for Moose! He kept me updated with messages and pictures - and I’m sure Moose really enjoyed having a playmate, Lucy, as well. Would 100% use Austin again and recommend you do too!

Our dog Luna always loves going to Austin’s house!
