Pet care experience

Hi, I'm Auguste/Gus! I love pets – I'm great with new dogs and have experience giving oral medicine to both dogs and cats. My work schedule is quite flexible so I can be available to walk or visit your pet(s) at various times throughout the day with enough notice. I live on the east side of Lansing with my significant other and our cat, Sterling. I have an active lifestyle and enjoy playing music, gardening, fixing up my house, and dabbling in craft projects like reupholstery and woodworking. My last dog, Henry, was charged at by other dogs on multiple occasions – mostly freak scenarios. One dog jumped a four foot fence, another climbed through an open window, a few pulled out of their collars/off their leashes, etc. Because of these experiences, I became adept at noticing other dogs or possibly dangerous situations. If you'd like to know anything else, feel free to ask!

Gus was amazing! Helped out on short notice and came to meet the dogs before the stay! They sent regular updates, and we were able to enjoy our trip knowing the pups were happy!

They rule and are an experienced and considerate dog watcher. I would trust them with my little dog any time I need to go out of town!! Your dog will thank you.

Auguste has taken care of my 90 lbs dog, Prince, on multiple occasions and he is not an easy dog, but Auguste is great with him. Walks are an especially stressful time for Prince and Auguste always gives full reports of how walks went and they consistently go well. Prince also needs a lot of love and patience, which Auguste gives without even needing to be asked. I couldn’t recommend their dog caregiving services more.

Marietta has watched Nora for me on a few occasions and I always know she is in good hands. Marietta is incredibly responsible and Nora loves spending time at her house. I highly recommend her.

I have a small but spacious house and comfortable yard. I'm passionate about keeping our elderly pets comfortable as they age – as my teenaged dog became less mobile, I put more rugs across the slippery wood floors of my house to help him maintain his independence and confidence as long as possible.
