Pet care experience

Animals are part of the family!

I’ve had dogs and cats of all sorts and sizes since I was a kid, and love playing with them. One of the requirements for our current home was to have a big yard so our boys could run free!

Austin was kind and flexible when our dog had separation anxiety. It's clear he knows dogs very well. While things didn't go exactly as planned (our fault; not his) he worked with us to find solutions. We are very grateful.

Austin was great with Kaya, he helped worked with her off leash and sent pictures while away. We would book with him again!

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I work from home and create my own schedule, and am an introvert so I’m almost always at my home unless I’m running an errand. This means I’ll always be here to take care of your animal and take them for walks, bathroom breaks, or play time.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a big (unfenced) private back yard far away from any neighbors. I have two doodle’s who love to play with other dogs and two cats who will probably hide the whole time. Your pet will spend most of their time with me while I’m in my office or doing chores around the house, then the rest of the time playing with me and (optionally) my two dogs in our yard. My two doodles love other dogs and are non-aggressive, but if there are any issues I am happy to separate them. I used to train dogs in another life so I know how to handle and care for dogs.
