Pet care experience
I had family dogs that I cared for as puppies and senior and seniors (one was 18 years old!). I also have raised my dog from a puppy and he is nearly 2 now so I am comfortable with all ages. My rates are mainly geared towards people that need day care or boarding services, and who would also want to pay extra for any sort of training (positive reinforcement, socialization, clicker training, basic/intermediate commands, etc.).
Reviews
Austin has been watching Kirby since he was 9 weeks old and he is phenomenal. My husband and I are resident physicians and have very busy and unpredictable schedules and Austin has been able to be flexible and work with us time after time. He helped a lot with basic commands and even crate training when Kirby was younger. A huge plus is that day care with Austin comes with MOOSE (their goldendoodle) who has been absolutely amazing with Kirby and really helped socialize him! Austin always takes lots of pictures and videos and updates us throughout the day. His gated in front porch is a great space for Kirby and Moose to run around and he takes them on walks everyday which has really helped with Kirby’s loose leash walking skills. Austin clearly has a lot of experiences with puppies and dogs. He was quick to reach out to us when Kirby had some stomach issues one day. My husband and I were both at work and it was a weekend, so finding an appointment was hard. However, Austin was able to get Kirby in at their personal vet for an emergency visit and was even willing to take him there and meet us because it was closing soon. Overall, I could not recommend Austin enough. He is our go to person that we trust to take care of Kirby. Kirby is so incredibly excited to see him and hangout with Moose anytime we take him over to their place (he even gets excited in the car). Austin and Moose are the best!!

My wife and I live in a house in South Tampa with a large fenced backyard that is great for all dog ages! It provides a safe place for dogs to be off-leash, relax, or use the bathroom if needed.

Information Austin S. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know your dogs temperament with other dogs, if they are crate trained, need any special attention, or if there have been any incidents in the past.
A typical day
There are some great outdoor walking areas we like to go to near me: Neighborhood streets near Euclid and El Prado, Bay shore boulevard, downtown, UT. There are also some great parks like Al Lopez that we enjoy going to.

Availability
I work from home so I am very flexible during the week, and sometimes on the weekend as well. I already have a very structured schedule with my dog including walks, training sessions, play sessions, and naps of course. I find that I have plenty of time to care for my dogs needs.
