Absolutely love being around dogs!!
Pet care experience
Just joining Rover as a sitter! Grew up with dogs my whole life so I started my “dog watching” at an early age as my parents needed. I’ve had my German Shepherd since he was 8 weeks - now 4 - and have helped friends back in college watch their dogs as needed. My dog is on some medication himself so I am comfortable needing to administer medicine however your pup is most comfortable with it. Dogs of all sizes are welcome - even the toughest pullers on the leash - as I am more than capable of handling that! I love meeting new dogs and giving them the same undivided attention I give my own when I get the chance to watch them. No problem if you have 2-3 dogs either. Whatever is going to make your dog most comfortable, I will make sure it happens!
Reviews
Austin was terrific! He arrived on time every day, and made sure my pup was well taken care of while we were away. I would definitely book him again in the future!
Watched my German shepherd while I would leave for drill weekends back when we were neighbors in 2014-2017. He did a phenomenal job making sure Zeus got the exercise, attention and care he needed while I was away. I didn’t trust anyone else to watch him to the extent Austin would. Most of the time he would go even above and beyond and spoil Zeus to a shopping trip to the local butcher shop to get him a big bone and some treats. I have no doubt Austin would continue to do a phenomenal job watching other dogs to the extent he did my Zeus

Working from home, I always take time to play with my own dog and make sure he gets plenty enough activity throughout the day. We live in an apartment so I have no choice but to find ways to keep the pup happy with toys, training, and getting to parks. I am big on positive reinforcement and minimizing negative reinforcement on my part, but can work with how you have your dog trained!
