I’ll run with your dog!

Pet care experience

I provide a great home. A lovely neighborhood. Plenty of space to run. I live right by the entrance to the east side of the board walk, and Zilker is only a car ride away! I try to keep your dog as active as I possibly can! We can follow whatever diet/exercise/schedule you prefer to maintain balance and consistency with what goes on at your home. Any questions? Please let me know! Why I love dog sitting I've loved dogs since I was about 7. We had just rescued a German shepherd mix and I fell in love! Throughout my childhood we had 4 dogs, all of them of a different temperament, but it was great. I'm definitely a dog person, over any other animal, aside from penguins! Meet my pets No other pets in my apartment. Uncomfortable with booking your dog next to another one? First come, first served. I ONLY book ONE dog at a time, UNLESS both dogs are yours, in that case I will make an exception. About my yard Large amount of open field, no fence, cars around, too. If your dog is well-trained it should be no problem to have a game of fetch in the middle. I also live right by the 35/Riverside dog park. My experience administering medication Yes. Through food. Food only please..

Great communication throughout the stay and Austin was super flexible working around our delayed return. We'll definitely use Austin again!

Austin and co. took great care of Mikey. It sounds like he had a lot of fun and he came home healthy and happy. Austin was easy to communicate with and make arrangements with!

It was a pleasure meeting Austin and it was obvious that Roary received a lot of love and care. Austin sent daily pictures of the two at parks and playing and I was not once worried. I would definitely use Austin again.

Information Austin J. would like to know about your pet

Any aggressive tendencies towards other dogs? Certain diet? Certain schedule that goes on at home that I can follow? I'm here to help! Please let me know if you have any concerns of the dog riding in the car with me. Any car rides would strictly be just around the corner to drop off my son at school, or to Zilker park for play time. Maybe even an outdoor restaurant if the dog is well behaved.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks Boardwalk, around the neighborhood, to the park, to the field, to Barton Springs. Is swimming okay? Let me know! Your dog's sleeping arrangement On my bed. On the couch on a blanket. On a dog bed you provide. I can also blow up a mattress for him/her if you'd prefer that! They usually just end up sleeping by my feet on the bed.. Time I'll spend with your dog Hours on hours! I have a flexible schedule and we can just chill or go run, and in the summer time we can go swimming! Does your dog have a favorite thing to do? We can do that! Also, I love playing frisbee. If your dog does too, we are a match.
