Pet care experience

Midtown Dog Dad

I’ve cared for dogs of every size and life stage—from energetic puppies to seniors needing gentle attention—for over a decade. As the owner of a 14-year-old Tibetan Spaniel, I’m experienced with daily medication, kidney and liver care, and light physical therapy. Whether it’s a brisk walk or quiet companionship, I treat every dog like my own and know how to keep them comfortable and happy.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Because my own dog prefers to be the only pet at home, I provide care in your dog’s familiar environment. I’m skilled in leash handling and stay alert on busy NYC streets to keep your pet safe and comfortable, whether or not they’re friendly with other animals. You can expect prompt updates and photos every visit so you always know your dog is happy and secure.

Austin did great with walking my pup!! She warmed up to him very quickly when she can sometimes be shy at first. Would rebook!

Austin was great! He walked Rascal approximately twice daily for a four-day period. He reliable, communicative and easy to deal with. Rascal can be a bit cranky when he doesn’t know somone but Austin was able to handle him and earn his trust. We felt very comfortable knowing that Rascal was in good hands!

Austin was a huge help in a pinch when I had a long stretch of work and needed someone reliable to walk Teemo. He stepped in on short notice and did a great job — Teemo came back happy, energized, and clearly very pleased with her adventure. Would definitely book with him again!
