MD student who should’ve been a Vet

Pet care experience

Long walks? ✅ Non-stop play time? ✅✅✅ Unlimited belly rubs? ✅✅✅✅✅✅✅ Hi! My name is Austin and I am a second year medical student at Tulane University School of Medicine. Due to my rapidly accumulating debt, I have made an executive decision to not get a dog of my own, SO, I am looking to spoil yours!!!! Anything you may need I am confident that I can do it whether it’s walks, potty training, teaching some new tricks, or just tiring your pup out so you can get a good night’s sleep!!! If your dog needs medication to be administered, don’t worry, I can do that too. I want you to feel comfortable leaving for work knowing that you won’t have a mess to clean when you come home, and that your dog(s) will have spent his whole day being stimulated and loved! Thank you for letting me be a special part of your fluffy friend’s life!

Austin watched our two dogs (one of which was a young and very difficult puppy) and our cat in our home for a full week and did an absolutely amazing job. Every day our dogs got walked and we got many updates with pictures. If Austin can handle our puppy who wails in the middle of the night and needs to pee every hour, he can handle any rover request.

Austin was sooo great!! That was our first time leaving our dog with someone she didn’t know and he was great with her. Very patient, caring and attentive. He consistently updated us, which is what we wanted. We felt so at ease on our vacation knowing our animals were safe and sound. Very glad we chose Austin!

Austin is a highly motivated pet caregiver. I cannot recommend him enough! I have had dog walkers/sitters who were apathetic and who let both discipline and the routine slip for my dog Kona, but Austin is organized, dedicated, and amazing at keeping my dog and rabbit in good health and good spirits. Austin is great with all animals, and has a special knack for getting animals to trust and obey him. Even my bunny who is standoffish loves to have her ears rubbed by Austin. My pets seemed happier at the end of the day, and I never had to worry about their well being or safety. It is without reservation I give Austin my highest recommendation. A happy customer, Doug

Information Austin T. would like to know about your pet

If your dog is a troublemaker let me know and I can try to work with them. If they are scared of strangers please tell me so I can take my time earning their trust. If they have a favorite treat please tell me and I will come stocked! If they do not like other dogs that’s no problem either, just let me know!

A typical day

I can play tug of war until the sun goes down and I’ve got a decent arm if your dog likes to fetch! I can take your pup to the many parks around the city if you want them to sight see or bring them to some of the local dog parks to play with friends! Whatever your preference, I’ve got your pup!

As a med student, some weeks may be tighter than others, but I would not be doing this if I didn’t think I could give the level of car that is expected of someone who hopes to take care of pet owners someday! I am currently only accepting House Sitting jobs as it will give me the most wiggle room to study, but I am open to other services if you ever need them! My calendar is always updated, so if you see an opening I am your guy!
