Trustworthy Care You Can Count On!

Pet care experience

With over 10 years of experience caring for pets, I’ve been someone that my friends, family, and roommates can call when they need someone reliable to look after their animals. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all types like young, old, high energy, low maintenance, anxious, and affectionate. I’m comfortable handling everything from the basics like feeding, walks, and playtime to more involved care like medication, crate training, and senior routines. I’ve always had a natural connection with animals they tend to trust me quickly, and I take that seriously. I approach each pet with patience, respect, and a steady presence. Whether your dog needs a running buddy or your older cat just wants a quiet companion while you’re away, I’ll meet them where they’re at. I understand how important it is to keep your pet’s routine consistent and stress free. I treat every animal like they’re my own with attention, care, and a commitment to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.

I’ve been a dog sitter myself, so I know how much it means to have someone you can count on when you need extra help. I’ve known Austin for a long time and he’s always been the kind of person who shows up ready to help without hesitation. He genuinely loves animals and animals seem to know it. There’s just something about his energy that makes pets feel safe and calm. I’ve watched even nervous dogs completely relax around him. He’s kind, reliable, and puts real care into what he does. I trust him completely and always feel confident recommending him to others who need help with their pets.

I can always count on Austin to care for my pets. I have two young and energetic labs who can be a handful, but Austin is always enthusiastic and reliable when it comes to watching them while we’re away. He sends frequent updates and adorable pictures, which I really appreciate. I love seeing how he plays and runs with my dogs to help get their energy out. I always come home to happy pets who act like they never even noticed we were gone. Austin is truly my go-to pet sitter/ walker.

As a Social Work student at Evergreen State College, I take online classes, which gives me a flexible schedule to focus on caring for pets. Outside of class, I dedicate my time to walking dogs, house sitting, and caring for pets while their families are away. Pet care is something I truly enjoy, and it fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m reliable, communicative, and available throughout the day for check-ins, playtime, walks, and overnight stays.
