Pet care experience
I've cared for animals all my life, but I can say that dogs are my favorite. Making dogs feel loved and safe is extremely important to me. I can't recall a time in my life where I didn't have at least one dog under my care, aside from my time in the Air Force. I have a 8-month old Tolling mix named Leera who's sweet as a pancake but she could use some friends. I'm active and love to hike, walk, and run every chance I get. I do my best to train my animals to obey basic commands and gestures, and I understand that sometimes that means I have to be firm. That said, I've never met a dog I didn't absolutely love, even the rowdy ones! I live on base, and have a gated back yard.
Reviews
Austin was freaking wonderful! He was so polite and detailed and made sure my baby was well taken care of. I got updates and pics of Trio and his baby having fun together. He's even lost some weight so I know he was in good hands. I would definitely recommend him to anyone that needs someone to watch their fur baby :D
Fantastic! Very patient and my dog had a great time! Will use again!
Great communication and definitely goes above and beyond if needed. My dogs loved him.
I have recommended Austin to everyone I see now! I live about an hour away and driving to have my dog stay with him is absolutely worth it. I do not believe I could have anyone else watch her! He sent many updates and pictures during the stay. When I dropped her off he paid attention to everything I said and I definitely could tell he had such a love for dogs. My dog absolutely loved him! I could go on and on about the impression he made and how amazing he was for my pet, but bottom line is that he is the only dog sitter I would recommend and use!

Information Austin S. would like to know about your pet
Any aggression issues with other dogs/cats? Any allergies? Afraid of cars/loud noises? Protective eater? Able to get up and down stairs okay? Are they used to being on a leash? Where do they usually sleep at night? All of these help me make sure your pup is given the right amount of attention so that they enjoy their stay here! As for my preferred breed, I've always been overly fond of dachshunds! But I honestly get along with any old doggy. NOTICE: As I do live on an Air Force base, there are a few dog breeds that are banned from going on base. As much as I disagree with the policy, I’m afraid I have to adhere to it. The following breeds are not permitted on base: pit bulls, rottweilers, doberman pinschers, chows and wolf hybrids. I deeply apologize if I have to decline sitting your baby due to this policy. As a final note, same-day service requests are welcome, but I may not be able to help in all circumstances. Thank you so much for your time!
A typical day
Walks around the block, trips to the dog park!
