Highlights
Pet care experience
Sydney Needs Friends
I grew up with parents who fostered adult dogs until end of life. From the time I was a child until graduating High School I lived with over 15 dogs of various breeds. I currently own an Australian Shephard named Sydney who is wonderful with all dogs, big and small, and will keep your pet anxiety free. I have a fully fenced in yard that is nice and quiet if the dog prefers to be outside during the day. My home is three floors and has three separate entrance ways. It is protected by Ring and is located in a safe neighborhood. There are also security lights in the backyard.

Ratings and reviews
Austin always takes great care of my pups. He takes the time to get to know their personalities and goes above and beyond to make sure they are comfortable and are taken care of. Thanks!
Austin is great with our dog, and we’ve gone to him for years. He’s responsive and works really well with our 4-legged escape artist, who now just thinks of Austin’s as his second home :-)
Our dogs could not have been happier bunking with Austin and Sydney! Austin is organized and thorough, he asks great questions so he can provide the best care for your dog while you're away. First time on Rover, great experience! We will be using Austin again, and our dogs can't wait to play with Sydney again.
Austin was amazing! Our puppy had the time of his life going on long walks and playing with Austin’s sweet Australian Shepard. We received updates, photos and videos regularly and upon request. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience from such a nice, professional and attentive person!
Thank you, Austin! We are incredibly grateful for the wonderful care you provided for Bella Pauline. From the start, we felt a strong connection due to your quick and meaningful communication about our baby and your environment. We loved meeting in advance to socialize with your adorable pup, and Bella was thrilled at the first sniff and lick. Austin’s request for detailed information showed us how much he truly cared about our baby. His meticulous attention to detail was evident throughout Bella’s stay, with daily photo and information updates. Our pickup was smooth, and Bella was so excited to share all the fun she had with you!! We look forward to next time.
My pups had the best time and probably didn’t want to come home. Austin was great with communication and they felt perfectly at home with him. I made a mistake in food and he made sure they had enough and even gave them a brush so they’d be fresh for pickup. If he’s available and you need someone, I 100% recommend. Thanks a bunch!

Schedule
I work 15 minutes from home. So I am able to get back when needed for short walks. However, I usually leave Sydney alone while I am at work as she can go 9+ hours without a potty break.

Pets
A typical day
I live very close to two separate dog parks and I have a large walking trail just blocks from my home. If your dog is ok with going to the park, that is a daily activity Sydney and I partake in.
