I am an animal lover to the 110% percent.I am about to be pet first aide certified along with a pet psychology class. I know how scary it is to leave your loved one behind so I will make your dogs stay fun and will take lots of pictures for you! I am currently finishing a course in dog first aid and pet psychology so that i may be the dog sitter you and your dog deserve. Bruschi is my pup, (more like my son), I run a meetup group for dogs here in Austin called P3 Austin dog lovers, it's a lot of fun and the dogs seem to love it. We're almost to 575 dogs!!! . I am flexible with my hours and services. Don't be afraid to tell me exactly what you have in mind for your furry kids that will help you rest assured they are well taken care of. Unless it is suggested by the owner, I do not crate. However, I understand the need for some dogs to be crated. It's a safe place to be for some. Bruschi sleeps in bed with us. I am a college student currently looking for employment, so in the meantime I do drop ins, daycare walks and more. If allowed I will socialize your pup by visiting the dog park, a meetup or a hike everyday. In addition we live on a private trail on the Colorado river where dogs love to run and swim and i have a TALL fence around my yard.(sorry little escape artist). I would love to meet you and your furry friend soon. Lisa About this sitter: My first job was dog walking and since then I have babysat for friends, advocated against animal cruelty and had lots of pets. Right now I have a 9 pound 1 year old shih tzu named Bruschi. He is trained and loves all living, creatures. I am confident in my training abilities, although I'm not a professional, I have worked with some tough cookies. I know I am capable of maintaining your training and/or maybe teach your pup a trick. I love all animals. Price varies on an individual basis, I am going to keep my prices as low as possible, and plan to donate 10% of your cost to homeless pets. Usually emancipet or Austin pets alive. I care for dogs, cats, bunnies, birds and plants. I have been an animal lover and advocate for as long as I can remember. Beware if you allow me the privilege to pet sit they may not want to leave. :) Why I love dog sitting: My dog is my whole life for sure, my first job was walking a neighborhood dog after school.
