Pet care experience
Lifelong Dog Lover
I grew up with two dogs and a cat and have always had a strong love for animals. Dogs in particular make me very happy and I love being around them. I see pets as a part of a person's family and they deserve to be treated as such. Animals have always seemed to be drawn to me because of my easy-going and inviting nature, and I enjoy reciprocating the love and affection they show me, however I also know how to be firm and make sure they know who is the leader of the pack. You can expect me to treat your furry companions like they are my own. I am gentle and caring, but I can also make sure they follow any house rules you have for them. I am very good with medium to larger sized dogs and enjoy giving them the exercise they need through walks or playing. I am currently available most days to sit your pups and can usually the majority of the day with them giving them lots of love and attention. I like to do meet and greets first to get to know you, your furry ones and your home. While I am watching your dog I will stick to the routine you have established for them and I will typically not take them near other dogs unless you have requested I do so.

Ratings and reviews
Austin was phenomenal! Super communicative and helpful. I am so grateful for his excellent care of our 2 corgis. This was our first time using a sitter who wasn’t family, and Austin made the experience so easy from the initial meet and greet through the end of the sit. I will definitely book again the next time we travel!
Another great sit with Austin! Always excellent communication and professionalism.
Always great knowing Austin is caring for our baby! He was able to accommodate some last minute health changes. Very patient and kind with our anxious pup. Thanks for another great stay!
Austin was a fantastic sitter for my dog recently! This was our first time leaving our dog in someone else's care, and with Austin, my wife and I did not have to worry about him once. Austin was thorough, asking good questions beforehand and taking the time for a pre-visit to assess their compatibility. Pictures and updates were provided regularly and he left our apartment looking the exact same as when we left. I'd happily recommend Austin to take great care of your pet, and hope to place ours in his care again as needed.
This was my first time leaving my dog with a house sitter and Austin was amazing! I have a pitbull/Staffy who initially is extremely energetic and Austin knew just how to handle and care for her. He gave me constant updates and pictures of her while I was away and it put me at ease and I was able to enjoy my trip. I can’t recommend him enough.
When Austin has stayed with my dogs, I find them energized and happy when I come back. I love the pictures and videos that sent!
