I have been around dogs my whole life and have a natural affinity for dogs. I’ve been pet sitting on and off for 7 years. Between my wife and I we have three dogs. All females, two unspayed. Two are chihuahua mixes (Stevie and Chacho) and one is a Basset Hound (Riley). They are a happy pack of sweethearts that love new furry friends. I am a very responsible person and when given the task of caring for another's loved one I take it very seriously. I think that dogs and owners will feel very comfortable and safe with me because of my experience and love for our canine counterparts. I also understand how hard it is to be away from our pets, so I’ll be in communication, keeping you updated with information, photos, and general updates of how your dog is doing in my care. I live in a very unique neighborhood called Riverside Farms Road. My home is on a no-thru street made up of old farmhouse acre lots. I’m surrounded by woods and it gives the illusion that you are far from the city even though it is in East/ central Austin. I do not have a fenced in yard so your pet needs to come with their leash for walks. To use the bathroom I have a smaller fenced in area we jokingly call the poop pen. I always stay outside with the dogs when they are out to ensure safe play. Depending on your pup’s temperament they can play off leash with my dogs or be walked outside for exercise on a leash.
