Pet care experience

Your pets are in perfect paws :)

We all have busy schedules, your pets deserve all the love and attention in the world while you’re not able to be there to provide that for them! I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes all 25 years of my life and I love my furry friends to death. I offer them the same utmost level of care and attention that you would so they won’t even be able to tell you were away for a second! In college I lived with roommates who owned dogs and had busy work schedules so I was able to take care of them and give them the love, care, attention, and appreciation they deserved. I’ve cared for other individuals’ pets for 10 years now and have great experience knowing when your canine friend(s) need loving attention and care, and will make them feel cared for each and every time I’m with them to put a smile on their face and to take the worry off yours. :)

Safety, trust & environment

I always leave your home the way I found it and cleaner if I’m house-sitting for your pet. That especially includes any and all messes or accidents that are made. In my home, if I’m caring for your pet I’ll always make sure he/she receives the loving and stimulation he/she deserves throughout the day with plenty of walks, feeding, and play! Pets offer the best break from work so whenever I have a break from my meetings or work for the day (consistently) I’ll always be able to care for your pet in a loving way!

We were able to go away for the weekend with no worries knowing that Austin would be in our home taking care of our cat and dog. We returned to well cared for pets, our mail brought in, and our house left as clean! Highly recommend using Austin for your pet sitting!

We couldn't be happier with our experience with Austin as our dog sitter! He has proven to be incredibly reliable and communicative throughout our time together. Austin is genuinely a kind person and easy to get along with, which made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. He takes excellent care of our two large dogs, including one who has reactive tendencies with other dogs. We were initially concerned about how he would handle this, but Austin has had no issues at all. His calm demeanor and understanding nature have made a world of difference for us and our pups. We have nothing but great things to say about Austin and highly recommend him to anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. Thank you, Austin, for your fantastic service!

Austin is the Best! This was a repeat booking and as usual he kept us up to date, took great care of our pups, took care of our home without any issues. He is as consistent and mindful as it gets. Austin is our go to person every time we need to leave town. Thanks again!

Austin did a great job taking care of our two cats and a dog for the weekend. We had peace of mind knowing that he was in our home with them. Will definitely reach out to him again when we need a sitter!

Austin was great with my 3 year old GSD, Izzy! He kept me updated through the day, sent multiple pictures, and Izzy looked like she had a ball. Thank you, Austin!
