Caretaker for your Loved ones

Pet care experience

Hello, my name is Austin and I am available for hire to dog walk, house sit, or dog sit in my home (for emergency short term stays). I currently have a 2 year gsd and he is very friendly, he is always looking for others to play with. I am willing to travel to dog sit. I have worked for a number of years with animals: As a veterinary technician, as a handler at the human society, and at a pet store. I have worked with many different breeds and have experience taking care of animals with special needs and dietary requirements. I look forward to working with you.

Very flexible and understanding despite last minute changes and the animals were looked after amazingly, thank you both so much!!

Couldn’t be happier with Austin & Lenny, they were very respectful of our home and we came back to a very happy dog. I received many updates about Diego including photos and I could see he was very comfortable and happy with them. I would definitely recommend Austin & Lenny for anyone wanting peace of mind knowing their dog is in good hands and being well taken care of - Thanks again :)

Austin was amazingly wonderful, sent updates daily with a pic. Our old boy got to stay at home and get his required meds and exercise. Five plus stars! Just sorry Austin and his wife are moving away, hope our next sitter works out this well!
