Safety, trust & environment

I love playing with dogs, whether it's with toys or with attention. While I am taking care of another person's pets, I aim to be conscious of how you want your dog to be treated and cared for.

Information Austin R. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know what the owner's preferences are with caring for their dogs. What they allow their pets to do or not do, eat or not eat, etc.

A typical day

A typical day will involve whatever feeding schedule (if any) I am given, plenty of time outside, and plenty of play and attention for your pets.

Pet care experience

I grew up in Florida and I've been in Pennsylvania since 2017. I work at an accounting firm in York with my dad, and I'm a part-time fire performer. I've had dogs and other pets for as long as I can remember. I like to connect with dogs by interacting with them in a way they can understand; running with them, playing with them, teaching them, etc. I am a Registered Behavior Technician and I work in an autistic support classroom.

Austin did an amazing job sitting for 2 weeks with 2 poodle puppies, a senior grumpy cairn terrier, 2 senior cats and a fish. We came home to happy pets and we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing our pets(who we consider family) and house were in good hands.

We’ve used Austin before and will use him again, if available. We were away for 3 weeks. He took excellent care of our dog, Lucy as well as our home. He is dependable, responsible and trustworthy which is so important when someone is living in your home! Highly recommend!

We’ve used Austin before for a long weekend and were very pleased. This time he dog sat (in our home) for two weeks! Lucy is an older dog and has some issues! Austin did a great job … in fact, I think she misses him. 🤭 We’re planning a trip in February for 3 weeks and will definitely use him again, if he’s available! He took great care of our home - even watered the plants for us! Thanks again, Austin! 🐾

We’re so grateful for Austin and his patience, care, and attention to detail for our dog. He went above and beyond to make sure our dog was comfortable, watered, pottied, and loved. We’ll be booking him again!
