About Ayden M.
Communication
Safety, trust & environment
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.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 litterboxes daily and will watch 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.

Caring for Cat Fams in Austin Area
Cat care experience
I have lived in a multi-cat household all my life ranging from 2-9 cats. Maintaining a happy clowder has always been a big priority in my life and has brought me much joy. As a child, my neighbors knew I loved cats because I could frequently be found playing with the outdoor cats, which led to caring for their cats while away starting at the age of 9. I enjoy educating myself on all things cat and utilize that knowledge in my home and drop-ins. I am fascinated by their social behavior and find I tend to understand them better than I do humans. I have fostered kitten litters, as well as adopted senior cats with special needs. I've cared for several of my cats from a few weeks old kitten to end of life. I have a male cat who struggles with urinary blockages, so I am familiar with the symptoms to watch for and importance of litter box use. I will clean litter boxes every visit. I am comfortable with automated feeders and litterboxes, and don't mind giving a traditional litterbox a good scoop. I firmly believe in play/hunting then meal time to leave your cat(s) feeling satisfied after my visit. Cats have taught me patience, and I will go at their pace. I utilize blinking to show I am not challenging them, slow movement, and a quiet demeanor to avoid alarming them. I am always open to learning more and welcome any special requests and hearing about knowledge/tips you've picked up.
Reviews

Ayden always takes the best care of our dog, Olaf! Keeps us up to date on visits and sends pics. Thanks so much!


As always, Ayden, has been a superb sitter for our cat and a new kitten! They both loved him! Ayden always accounted for their eating habits. He always changed his waters, and cleaned their litter boxes. He always inquired and clarified if there were any questions. We appreciated how easy it is to communicate with Ayden. We hope he continues to sit our pets!!!


We plan to use Ayden again as Ayden did everything we requested and really took a liking with our cats. They are already social though they hopped up on Ayden’s back on the last day which they don’t get that friendly with our family and friends. Within 10 days was able to break that barrier.



Our cats warmed up to him quickly and he is super nice. We have used Ayden a few times and definitely recommend.
