Availability

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.

Pet care experience

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 did a fantastic job taking care of our pups when we were away. He sent videos and had an update everytime he took care of them. He followed the dogs schedule and made sure they followed commands before being rewarded. We will definitely use Austin again in the future!

Our dog had a great experience with Austin. Well taken care of, provided lots of updates and pictures, felt very comfortable leaving my dog in his care. Would absolutely return and use again.

Austin took care of our dog while we were out of town for 10 days and he did an amazing job and treated our pup like one of his own! We also really appreciated that he sent many pictures and updates throughout the week.
