Safety, trust & environment

Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I stick closely to their usual routines — feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddles — so they feel right at home. I always provide fresh water, plenty of attention, and regular updates with photos, because I know how important peace of mind is for pawrents.

Information Austin K. would like to know about your pet

I like to know as much as possible to make your pet’s experience safe and comfortable. Please share details about their routine, personality, energy level, and any quirks or sensitivities. It’s also important to know if they have any medical needs, medications, allergies, or triggers (like loud noises or other dogs). The more I know about what makes your pet happy — and what makes them uneasy — the better I can care for them like one of my own.

A typical day

I love keeping dogs happy and active! We’ll go on neighborhood walks, explore local parks, and play fetch or tug-of-war. For pups who enjoy mental stimulation, I like to include training games and puzzle toys. If your dog prefers a calmer pace, we can relax together, enjoy belly rubs, and soak up some sunshine. My goal is to make every visit fun, safe, and full of tail wags!

Pet care experience

I’m the proud pawrent of a 4-year-old water spaniel, so I understand firsthand how much love and care our dogs need. My passion for animals started early — I even ran a small pet care business when I was 8! I love going on long walks and making sure each dog gets both exercise and affection. I’m patient, reliable, and treat every dog like my own, whether it’s a playful puppy or a gentle senior who just needs some extra care and comfort.

I highly recommend Austin as a dog walker! He’s responsible, reliable, and genuinely cares for every dog he meets. His own dog, Woody, is proof of the love and attention he gives—well-behaved, happy, and healthy. Any pet would be in excellent hands with Austin.
