Greater Austin Area Drop-Ins
Pet care experience
I do cat and dog drop-ins in your home. I have owned dogs and cats continuously since childhood, including fostering litters of kittens and senior pets. I have taken classes with a dog trainer experienced in handling reactive dogs and multi-dog households who utilizes positive reinforcement and no-pain training. I maintain a happy clowder of 8 cats in my home and I bring my experience from that to my clients' homes. I am capable of managing medical and special needs animals, including oral medicine administration, injections, and special diets. I have cared for kittens and puppies all the way to seniors. I have some experience and am familiar with drop-ins for birds. Feel free to express any special requests.
Reviews
We could not be more satisfied with the service Ayden provided for our dog, Olaf! We usually take him to a boarding facility, which he likes, but just adds another hassle before we head out of town. Ayden was so thorough in following our instructions, giving us a breakdown of each visit, and providing daily photos! Using the app was easy and we will be reaching out to Ayden for our next getaway! Thanks so much!👍
Ayden is definitely our "go-to" pet sitter! Our animals love him and he consistently caters to their needs and preferences. Plus, the pictures he takes are awesome!
Ayden was amazing and updated me before and after and during the visit. He was on time and was amazing with the pups.
Ayden is the best pet sitter! His pictures show exactly what is happening with our dogs and cats. But, his pictures are also some of the cutest/frame-worthy pictures of our animals. He has made a connection with our shyest cat and she lets him pet her - which is amazing!

For dogs, I'll play with their favorite toy, fetch, or walks. I'll make sure to schedule water breaks for any outdoor activities. And if that's not their speed, I am good with chilling together and giving plenty of pets. Let me know any commands or hand signals ahead of time and I'll make sure to use them to maintain consistency. I have 8 indoor cats, so I am familiar with being quick about going in and out of doors and not leaving escape exits. I bring a laser pointer to all drop-ins (dogs and cats). For cats, I like to play/hunt before meal time to meet their instinctual needs. I understand cats can be shy and will go at their pace with getting to know eachother. If they're feeling up for it, I'll cuddle and chill with them, or have a conversation. I clean litter boxes daily and will attend dogs to potty to make sure ins and outs are normal. Photos of food and water levels will be provided so you can, also monitor while away.
Information Ayden M. would like to know about your pet
Any reactivity or behavior issues, special needs, and pet parent preferences. Any commands/hand signals relevant to care given. Is your dog crate trained? Is your dog up to date on vaccines? Any bite history? Resource guarding/aggression history? Are they escape artists? Are your cats shy or people lovers? What's your cat's favorite toy to play with?
A typical day
I can walk your dog around your neighborhood or take them to a preferred park. We can play any games they know, like fetch, or just work on maintaining certain commands with treats to reinforce while you're away. I love playing with toys, laser pointers, or water (for those who enjoy it) for cats and dogs. Or for those more skiddish felines having a conversation at a safe distance. Chilling and giving cuddles are a must, as tolerated.

Availability
I normally don't do morning drop-ins, but if you like my profile reach out, and I'll do my best to fit anyone in. I am definitely available in the afternoons through most of the night, and can accommodate non-traditional schedules. Because this is my profession I have flexibility in my schedule for last minute arrangements and understand life happens for cancellations. I am available weekdays and weekends.
