Pet care experience

The BEST place for your pet to be!

I am certified in pet first aid and CPR, and am very serious when it comes to pet care, safety, and health. I have experience in pet care through all stages (puppy - senior), and complex medical cases. Each dog and cat is an individual with their own needs, wants, and traits that need to be fulfilled and noticed. BOARDING & DAYCARE: I LOVE pet care, and providing a safe, fun, and enriching environment. I understand how important it is to choose the right person to take care of your beloved dog or cat. My primary focus will be the safety of all pets in the house. I will also make sure you feel happy and comfortable that your pet is in my homeby going through all of the details before your pets stay, and updating you with pictures and videos! **Dogs MUST be fully potty trained** DROP IN VISITS: Playing, potty, feeding, cuddling, bathing... I will do whatever needs to be done to make sure your pet is both happy and safe!

Austyn and her husband took great care of my girl, Gracie. They made sure she had snuggle time and even provided stimulation with food puzzles, Austyn will take great care of your pet!

Austyn was very professional and we felt safe leaving our pup with them! Our pup enjoyed their yard! We will likely book with Austyn again!

Joy had a great time with Austyn & her puppy Sophie. She took good care of her and sent regular updates and pictures. Will consider her again for future boarding.

I love working with Austyn and her passion and dedication to working with animals is truly unparalleled. She is extraordinarily conscientious and always makes sure that when we're away that our pets feel loved and that all of their needs are met. I appreciate that she has gone above and beyond to get her certifications in pet CPR, so that if an emergency arises she is able to attend to the situation proactively. She is one of the very few individuals that I would trust with both of our cats.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard and a female dog, Sophie, who is very friendly and playful! I will always monitor them and never leave them alone without supervision. Our cats are blocked off by door at the top of stairs (they'll stay on the second floor). My previous dog, Johnny, passed away in 2024 and throughout his life he experienced health issues that required daily oral medication (epilepsy and hypothyroidism, and during the last 6 months of his life he had Cushing's Disease). I am experienced in how complicated medication and health issues are in pets. I make sure our home is a calm environment filled with toys, playtime, cuddles, and mentally stimulating activities. My goal is to do what's best for the individual dog/cat and make them feel both safe and loved! If your pet needs their own private space, there is a private room that will be changed to fit the dog or cat's needs. The set up will include toys, their own items, and washable mats on the floor that will be washed/disinfected before use. ****To ensure the safety of all pets in the household, I need to see the most recent Vet paperwork showing your pet is up to date on vaccines and does not have a contractable health issue. ****Your pet MUST NOT be aggressive. Your dog MUST be fully potty trained.

Pets
