Pet care experience

Love all animals and happy pets!

Hello and thank you for considering me to take care of your pets! I've always been really good with animals and have a natural sensitive touch with them. Growing up I've had many pets such as cats, dogs, birds and reptiles and have learned that all animals deserve love and attention. Currently I'm a happy cat dad with a loving fluffball named Mischief. I strive to nurture your fur babies like they are my own and look forward to creating lasting bonds with them. I will always follow the rules and guidelines given for your pet and will make sure they receive the best attention and care that a part time fur parent can give. I'm always doing my best to teach my pets how to behave well while always keeping their happy loving personality. I would also like to know more about your pet such as what activities they enjoy, if they are allowed on furniture at home, if they're aggressive toward children, dogs or while eating and if they'll bark when no one is home.

Safety, trust & environment

I make sure to follow all guidelines that the owner has given me. I keep a close eye on them to ensure they aren't acting up due to anxiety or stress. I look for signs of when they enjoy certain treats or activities and make sure to repeat that with moderation of course.

This is our second time booking with Austin. When he came to pick up our key, our ragdoll was excited to see him - remembering him from the previous sitting!

Austin was above and beyond what we could have hoped for when it comes to someone watching our two cats for an extended period of time. Especially with the dynamic of having a needy cat and a cat that you need to be cautious of. You could tell that Austin was able to put both of our cats at ease very quickly. When we came home from our trip they were so relaxed and almost seemed disappointed to see us instead of Austin. We will definitely be repeats if Austin will have us.

Austin took great care of Molly. He's very flexible and sent me updates on how Molly was doing. I will definitely use him again!

Austin is truly one of the most caring and loving people I have ever met and this sentiment that I have only to continues to be reaffirmed the longer I know him and the more interactions with him I have. He is not only kind, caring, and loving of all people but also all animals. I have seen first hand how much he cares about his own animals but I have also seen him go out of his way and well above and beyond to ensure a stray or lost animal was taken care of. I used to consider myself strictly a dog person but he not only encouraged me but also went to shelters with me to prove to me that I was capable of more and I ended up adopting a kitten who has grown into a very loving and affectionate part of my family.

Austin is great with dogs and is a genuine animal lover of all breeds and sizes. He’s knowledgeable and kind when it comes to animals. I’ve seen him personally interact with dogs I’ve boarded when he was over at my house and he’s also the best cat Dad ever. His cat is only a cat by breed, Mischief (his cat) really acts more like a dog. I definitely recommend using him to love your furbaby while you’re away. They will be loved and cared for.

I would like to know what their preferred treats and activities are, including the length of walks they would like. It's important for dogs to get enough exercise. I like to know about their temperament and how they get along with other animals. Also do they have any allergies or health concerns that I should be aware of.
