Pet care experience
I have had dogs all of my life. I have been dog sitting for family, friends and neighbors for about 7 years now. I have watched all types of dogs from 10 pound yorkies to 130 pound St. Bernards. I am available during weeknights and weekends during the school year and available all summer to watch your pets. However, if they do not require around the clock care, I am available almost all days of the week during the school year. My mom works from home so she is able to oversee things while I am at school or my part-time job, same as my brother and dad, as they all have experience watching dogs. I have a spacious yard with a pool and plenty of space to run around. My dogs get along great with other dogs and my cat eventually warms up to them too. I would be able to feed/walk dogs before I head off to school (I only go Tuesday through Thursday) and again when I return.
Reviews
Austin provided us with updates on his checking in with Cupcake. He's a very personable, responsible individual who we will definitely use again in the future.
We could not be happier with Austin! He took excellent care of our dogs! I was a bit worried at first about how the dogs would react, but he kept us updated daily on theim & I
Austin Valvo has dog sat for our three dogs over the course of several years. We have had dogs that ranged from needy to hyper to difficult and Austin was able to accommodate all of their needs. Austin is extremely dependable and trustworthy. He is one of the most mature young men l have met. Austin adores dogs. I have seen him with his own two and it is very clear that dogs love him just as much. l highly recommend Austin for any pet sitting needs.
Austin is a lifelong lover of animals. He is also an advocate for rescue animals, having 2 personal rescue dogs and 1 rescue cat. When friends or family members need someone to watch their animals, Austin is the first person to come to mind! Rest-assured, your four-legged friends will be in caring, competent hands

Information Austin V. would like to know about your pet
I would prefer that the dog meets me and my dogs and cat before staying in my home. That way we can see if they will all get along with each other. If I am watching your dog at your house and they are temperamental around certain people, I would like to meet the dog first.
A typical day
A dog will enjoy walks, runs, swims (in the summer) a lot of play time with my dogs, and even hikes if they're up for it! I love being outside so I am fully willing to take a dog wherever they would like, including for a nice kayak ride if they would enjoy it. I live near many parks, including a dog park, so a dog will have lots and lots active time. If your dog is more of a homebody, they will be showered with love and have time to relax and lay around with me (or really any of my family members) or even with my friends, because if they hear I have another friendly dog at my house, they will run right over.
