Dogs are my best friend

Hello! My name is Austin. A little about myself, I am 29 years old and work from home. I am very active and enjoy working out, going to yoga, or hanging out at the beach. I love dogs and have experience fostering and adopting my own dogs. I love to walk around Santa Monics, so I figure why not help someone out and walk their dog(s) at the same time!

Safety, trust & environment

If I were to watch your dog, they would likely be by my side at all times. If I were to board them I can crate them if that is preferred.

I was Austin's roommate for four years and throughout that time, we housed his family's dog (Cooper) for many months. Austin prioritized his schedule around Cooper. From walking him an appropriate amount of time, making him his special "gourmet" wet food, playing with him all the time and making sure he's entertained when we weren't there, to socializing him with other dogs around campus. Austin is an extremely dedicated owner who loves dogs more than anyone I've ever met. He is very responsible and will put in the same amount of effort with a strangers dog as he does with Cooper.

If you know Austin, you know his love for dogs. He takes care of all dogs as he does his own, and let me tell you how much he loves his Cooper. Austin is youthful and fun, responsible and careful, and trustworthy. I feel very calm letting him watch my dog when I am out of town..sometimes my dog doesn't even want to leave him when I come home. 10/10 will always choose Austin as my dog sitter.

Austin is professional and responsive, through and through a lover of dogs and sure to offer your pet(s) love, care, and attention. You can rely on him to go above and beyond what is expected in the care of your pets. Additionally, he is clean and orderly, and if housesitting or caring for your pet within your home, you can expect him to leave your space better than he found it.

Not only is Austin extremely dependable and responsible, but he's also one of the biggest dog lovers I know! When we're out in public and there's a dog nearby, he can't resist the urge to stop and ask to pet it. Austin spends time to make sure his dog Cooper is properly walked and fed, regardless of how busy his schedule is; and I'm confident he holds the same level of care for all animals under his watch. In addition, Austin goes the extra mile to make a very healthy homemade mix to go with his dog's food. I highly recommend hiring Austin as your dog's caregiver.

I can't recommend Austin enough for Rover. He is the ideal dog walker. He's responsible, timely, smart and polite. He's energetic, fit and can handle all different types of dogs. He has a lot of experience and genuinely loves being with dogs.
