Playmates and cuddles in Austin

Pet care experience

I'm Genest, and I am an engineer by day and an adventurer by night/weekend. I like running, rock climbing, swimming and hiking on the greenbelt. My husband and I share our home with our two canine childer. Cane (the little guy) enjoys belly rubs, walks to the neighborhood dog park, and being treated like a human. Lou (the dainty one) enjoys going on runs with me, seeking out new climbing crags, and exploring the smells of Bull Creek. We reside in a home in the Highland (right next to Highland ACC) neighborhood, complete with a doggie door and a spacious and fenced-in back yard. The dogs have full access to indoors and outdoors at all times. Cane, Lou and I love having canine company over. When we resided in OKC we were a foster family for the Oklahoma Humane Society. I always recommend a meet and greet between your pup and my pups before accepting a boarding request. This allows you to see where your dog will be staying before you book and ensures that our dogs will get along. Because of this, I rarely accept last minute board requests. Meet my pets Cane - 11 yr old male lhasa apso/westie/who knows what else. Lou - almost 6 yr old female Shiba Inu/Alaskan Huskie mix

Very sweet family and dogs. Kept me updated and I was never concerned that my dog was not in good hands.

Ever since I met Genest over 5 years ago she's been enthusiastically dedicated to (read: obsessed with) her little furry family members, dog Cane and cat Sebastian, then later Lou dog. As if constantly walking, cuddling, and loving the three like humans wasn't enough, she's also been active with local pet rescue shelters, inviting dogs into her home until good families were found to adopt them long-term. I've lost count of how many animals Genest has, quite literally, saved with her kindness. Knowing how professional she is with her engineering clients and how responsible she's proven to be caring for so many different kinds of dogs and cats, I wouldn't hesitate to leave my only child with her, or my pet, both of which are basically the same thing. Family is family.

Genest is exceptionally welcoming of all dogs, and people, too! Her dogs, Lou and Cane, are great dogs, and they are very easy going and socialize well!

Genest is a dog lover! I am confident she would house all canines in splendor if she could! She is disciplined, responsive and patient with her animals. And she is flexible with people! I totally trust her with my pets!

I'd like to know about your dog's temperament. Any food agression issues? Any bad habits such as chewing on furniture or electrical cords? Is your dog house trained and do they know how to use a doggie door?

A typical day

We're an active family. Lou and I take daily long walks, and Cane joins in for a portion (he's getting old). We go out the the greenbelt on the weekends. If your dog is good on and off a leash, they would join us - but this would be discussed with the owner beforehand.
