Reliable and Caring Sitter
Pet care experience
Hi! I have always had cats and dogs growing up. At one point, we had 11 cats in our house. In addition to taking care of pets, I have been an uncle since I was 6 years old. Responsibility and nourishment come naturally to me. I currently work as a Behavior Analyst for a school district, supporting students that have challenging behaviors. Generally, I am usually free in the evenings after 4pm during the week. I’m normally always free on weekends. I can travel with my own car for house sitting, check-ins, and dog walks. Don’t hesitate to ask me any questions about my background and experience. Looking forward to connecting with you!
Reviews
Austin is responsive, proactively communicative, thoughtful, and caring to our two cats and has also taken great care of our home.
Austin house sat for 7 days over TGiving while we were out of the country and watched our two cats: one who is an indoor/ outdoor, lower maintenance older cat and the other is a high energy older kitten. He balanced both of their very different needs, played with them, sent pictures daily
Austin did a great job checking in on our cat while we were away. Really flexible and great photos!
Austin did a great job with Lucy - he was patient and understanding even during the extremely chaotic July 4th holiday fireworks. Would recommend again.

Safety, trust & environment
I Always make sure doors are closed so animals can’t slip out. I ensure animals are away from door when exiting and enter a room with foot first so animals can’t get out. Leashes/harnesses always used when walking dogs outside.
