Run or walk, both work for me!

Pet care experience

I am very active and love going to the gym everyday. Walking my dog is my favorite form of cardio so I thought “why not walk other people’s dog as well?” I have been a dog lover my whole life and currently have a 2 year old Frenchie boxer that has the most energy I have ever seen, so I know I can handle any type of dog. I’m looking forward to walking different breeds and meeting a bunch of new dog friends. I also have a lot of experience handling two dogs together. I am currently in school for occupational therapy, so this is a perfect way for me to stay active and try to pay off my student loans. My availability M-F is usually open and flexible. I will be doing practicum hours for my program during fall of 2019 so it’s best to message me so we can try and figure out if I can accommodate you and your furry friend. (There are some exceptions on weekends because I work part-time, but feel free to message me!)

Austin has been great. I have two dogs, one being a very new puppy who is not always easy. He is very reliable and easy to work with, very flexible with his times and always keeps in contact. Sends videos and pictures and updates while I’m at work. Would highly recommend!

Austin does a great job with communication. You can tell that he really enjoys spending time with my dog. He isn't just doing this to stop in, collect money, and go home. He loves dogs. I feel very comfortable letting Austin into my house while I am at work. Have not had any issues. I highly recommend Austin P.

I just moved to the area and needed a walker for my crazy work schedule. From the first message, Austin has been incredibly flexible and able to accommodate my needs. My dog, Koda, is a very large Labrador and Austin handles him beautifully. He always lets me know when he is on his way and sends many pictures and videos of Koda when he’s with him. Koda and I are lucky to have found Austin who takes such wonderful care of my baby!

Austin is an overall awesome guy! He is very dedicated and responsible, as I have seen firsthand when he cares for his own dog. He is very athletic so he gets very involved in playing with dogs, chasing them and throwing around toys, so that the dogs are happy. I would trust him with all of my pets because I know he is very caring and would provide safe and loving care to any animal.

Information Austin P. would like to know about your pet

I’m open to dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds. I am a little biased towards Pitbulls because I dream of having one! But I have no preference of dog :)

A typical day

I love to play with dogs, so I’m good at tossing a ball or playing some tug-of-war. If your pup isn’t into playing, I can take them on a stroll through the neighborhood (or their backyard if that’s better!)
