Pet care experience
Trustworthy Care You Can Count On!
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.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
When im taking care of your pet, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow your instructions closely to keep routines consistent, whether that means specific feeding times, crate use, medications, or special accommodations. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and mindful of your pet’s boundaries.
Ratings and reviews
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!!
Thanks for caring for my dogs. The photos were great!
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!
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.

Schedule
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.
