Pet care experience

My family and I have owned and cared for dogs my entire life. We have also bred several breeds of dogs, and I have taken care of the mothers and puppies since I was eleven. We have kept several puppies from our numerous litters, and I have trained them in housebreaking and basic tricks. As my family currently has multiple dogs, I am very accustomed to caring for several animals at once. I'm currently only working part time, so I have plenty of time available to help care for your pet or pets. I'm can come at a variety of hours on days that I am scheduled, be it morning, afternoon, or evening. I am also available to meet you and your pet before I walk or watch over them. While I currently cannot board dogs at my own home, I would consider it a privilege to help care for them in yours. I would be happy to take them on walks, exercise them, feed and water them, as well as take them on potty breaks. I am also ready and willing to accommodate your dog's individual needs to ensure that they have a pleasant experience. Given my experience caring for several dogs at once, I would love to accommodate you if you have multiple dogs that need to be walked or cared for.

Austin watched our pets for us while we were out of town for the holidays. He was very responsive and spent time playing with them! Thanks Austin!

Austin is responsible & responsive. He took care of 2 dogs while we were at a wedding. It was just too long for them to be alone without a pee break. Austin came in time, let the dogs out, played with them a bit, cleaned them off before they went inside & gave them treats. He provided a timely update of dogs with photos, so great job.

This was my first time using Rover, and Austin was fantastic! A friend asked if I was uncomfortable with a stranger coming into my house, and I actually felt more comfortable relying on someone who has been vetted and has good reviews than my friends or friend’s kids who are too often unreliable. I went away for the weekend, and Austin dropped in on my cats. His updates and good communication left me completely at ease while I was gone. He even managed to get pictures of 3/4 very wary cats.
