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.

Information Austin K. would like to know about your pet

Please share anything that helps me give the best care and comfort: allergies, medications, favorite treats, leash habits, or any reactivity with people or other dogs, etc.

A typical day

Walks are tailored to your dog’s energy and interests. We’ll explore neighborhood parks and quiet side streets, letting them choose the pace and enjoy plenty of sniffing. I can bring along nose-work puzzles or small enrichment games for extra mental stimulation, and I send photo updates so you can share the fun. I only use organic treats, usually pressure cooked chicken breast or dehydrated pumpkin, unless specifically requested otherwise.

Midtown Dog Dad

Pet care experience

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.

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!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
