Philly, RVA, here! I've done it all

Pet care experience

I've grown up with dogs and I've worked around dogs my entire life. I have nearly one-hundred hours with the Chesapeake Humane Society, and I helped start up a dog walking and sitting business in Richmond during my freshman year at VCU. We were called Get Fido Fit, and we had dozens of clients who booked us repeatedly because of our customer service all in and around the city. We even convinced a few people to put a sticker with our logo on it on their car! I love working with dogs of all kinds, they bring me so much joy. I have a dog of my own, Toast, and he's the light of my life. I adopted him after sitting for his foster parents – he just threw his whole (40 lbs.) body into my lap and we fell in love with him.

Austin has been taking care of our pets for years. He loves animals and in addition to walking dogs for years, he has also done volunteer work for animal shelters. He is trustworthy and dependable. He has done a lot of dog sitting as well. I highly recommend Austin!

Austin has been a dog sitter and walker since before I knew him, which was about four years ago. He has experience competently managing the care of dogs. I’ve known his own dog companion Toast to be well cared for, which is what I’d look for in a dog sitter. Like a tattoo artist who has a bunch of tattoos. There’s visible boxes I need checked to be sure my needs will be met and cared for. Austin will check those boxes. He has tattoos of his own dog companion Toast.

Hampton Roads has some amazing green spaces where I dogs can have a great time. There are beautiful neighborhoods too (Riverwalk comes to mind, where I grew up). I have experience walking dogs everywhere though. Alleyways in West Philadelphia aren't made for dogs!
