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.

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.

Austin is incredibly kind to my high energy dog. My dog was so excited every time Austin came over. He didn’t even care when we left. My house was spotless, and my animals extremely well cared for. I highly recommend Austin!!

Austin has attention to detail! He did a fabulous job, and my dog loves him! I came home to a clean house, and a happy pup. I highly recommend!

Austin was AMAZING! He went above and beyond in every single way. We have never had as house sitter be so thoughtful and care for our animals so well. We have three cats and a dog all with specific routines and needs. He handled their meds and quirks with no issue. I am usually the type of person who non-stop worries about our animals while we are gone and I never even got the chance to because Austin’s updates were so thorough and he made it clear that caring for them was his priority. He even went out of his way to make sure he got eyes on and sent me pictures of our cats who hide so I knew they were safe in the house. We came back to happy animals and a house that was much cleaner than when we left. I would 100% recommend Austin to anyone!
