Pet care experience

Since the day I was born I have taken care of animals. I am experience in cats, dogs, puppies and kittens. I have been an approved foster for two different agencies since 2018. Currently I own two cats and two dogs. One of my dogs is a certified therapy dog and the other dog is a breeder release. The breeder release was previously afraid of the world and with proper training and love she has become the happiest ever.

Austin took great care of my cat while I was out of town for a few days. My cat, Kat, had her own room while she adjusted to her new environment. Eventually, she shared the rest of the space with the other pets in the household once she was comfortable. Aside from just caring for my cat, Austin sent frequent photo and text updates, and always quickly responded to my messages. On the subject of punctuality, Austin was quick to answer the door when I arrived to drop off my cat, and had everything prepared for me upon my arrival. I'll also add that I ended up picking up my cat a little earlier than expected, but Austin still had everything ready. In a rush to prepare for my trip, I forgot to bring my cat's litter box and fresh litter, even though I had said I would bring them. Austin supplied litter and a litter box for my cat. I really appreciate this gesture, especially considering it was 100% my fault that I forgot to supply the litter and box. As for the space itself, Austin's place has plenty of room for the pets to explore and, as I mentioned before, a spare room is available for those who would prefer that for their pet. Ultimately, Austin seems like a qualified sitter who did a great job caring for my cat for a few days.

Austin and his fiancee were great with our puppy Daisy. They sent updates, pictures and videos while she was staying with them for the day and it made me feel very comfortable and at ease with her first time at a pet sitter. I will definitely use them again when Daisy needs someone to watch her.
