Walker of furry friends

Pet care experience

Hi I'm Austin and I'm starting my first year of vet school at Mizzou. I have two dogs, Caesar (in profile picture) and Bear. Currently only Bear lives with me, while my parents care for Caesar in Memphis. Caesar has diabetes and both of them have anxiety (separation and storms), so I'm used to taking care of furry friends when their humans can't take them wherever they maybe. Bear loves having friends over and meeting new people. I'm currently pursuing my DVM and afterwards hope to get my PhD in Lab Animal Medicine. I've worked as a veterinary technician for 3 years prior to vet school and currently work in a research lab on campus. I cant wait to love on your furry friends. On the weekends the dogs and I love to go up to Cosmo or Rock Bridge and go hiking or car rides down country roads to find all the new smells. If you are interested in spending the night at Chateau Kimes your pet will undoubtedly return happy, with a fresh bath, and exhausted from playing with Bear and all of the walks.

Austin is an amazing pet sitter. He really cares about the pets within his care, which is illustrated in how he cares for his own dogs. He dedicates a large portion of his time with his dogs - walking them, taking them on hikes, playing with them, etc. He is very responsible in caring for both his pets and others in his care as he ensures that they are fed on time and given their necessary medications as directed.

Information Austin K. would like to know about your pet

If you are interested in boarding, I'd like to know what toys and blankets our furry friend will be bringing, if there are any nervous ticks I should watch for, how he/she is around strangers and other dogs, if there are any medication that needs to be given and are up to date on vaccines, what is normal dinner/ breakfast time, what is a normal day in the life of your furry friend

A typical day

When you stay at Chateau Kimes, your dog will enjoy walks to fairview park, smithton park, Randy's (for a pup cup with human permission) on weekends we enjoy going to explore Cosmo, Rock Bridge, or other nearby state parks. When not out enjoying nature, our future furry friend will be enjoy plenty of pets and cuddles from myself and my roommate. We also love to give treats and make sure every dog knows they are spoiled.
