Pet parent now turned pet caretaker
Pet care experience
Grew up with four cats for most of my early life, and now I'm the proud pet parent of my own cat and dog. I've fostered a few different times, and collected other caretaking knowledge from my partner of five years. She's been a pet stylist for the better part of 7 years, and throughout that time I've assisted her in bathings, grooming, walking, pet visits, pet sitting, fostering, etc. I'm branching out now to build my own clients and I had you'll consider me. I'm diligent, kind, and thorough, so know that considering me as your pets caretaker, is to consider someone who's a proud pet owner and continuous pet helper.
About Austin M.
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Depending on the service depends on the specifics, but generally I take a slow and kind approach to animals that don't know me yet, giving them the chance to come to me first. I'll give them treats and good scratches to build trust, and they quickly grow to like me. I have a fostered German Shepard in my home currently with various issues from abusers in the past and within the first week of constant bacon and ham treats, I earned her trust. Now she looks to me with trust, excitement, and love. That's the kind of experience my animals expect at home and what I expect of your fur babies when I get to meet them myself.
Information Austin M. would like to know about your pet
Any behaviors that are important for provide a successful and safe experience are vital. If they have certain boundaries, triggers, or preferences in treatment I would love to know. Especially if treats are involved, any allergies, preferences, or things they generally enjoy will make sure that I can make a good first impression. So in summation just be sure to communicate their likes and dislikes, and anything that will help or hinder the experience, that way I treat your fur baby with appropriate care, and they have the best experience.
A typical day
I'll give them ample attention with toys, treats, walks, and affection. Cats I'll usually gauge how they feel about things and go based on their boundaries, but regardless a similar mixture of toys, affection, and attention.

Availability
I'm currently assisting my partner of 5 years with her grooming and small business, so my schedule is pretty flexible. My own pets are well cared for and I'm able to juggle both aspects of my life well.
