Austin was incredible, I highly recommend using Austin for house/dog sitting! He kept us up to date with pictures and texts throughout his stay. He clearly loves dogs and understands how to care for them. He is extremely capable and goes above and beyond to make sure he is doing all he can for your pets and your house. He made us feel 100% comfortable leaving our three dogs for a week. You can't go wrong with Austin!

CJ took care of our two dogs at our house over the weekend and did a fantastic job. He is a great communicator, followed our instructions to the letter, took great care of the pups and left the house spotless. He even washed the sheets and remade the bed. We highly recommend him and will definitely use him again. Thanks CJ!

My dog liked her right off the bat which says a lot because my dog doesn't like ANYONE. Sent me pictures too and updated me often. 10/10 will book again if I ever have to be away again

About: I grew up on a cattle ranch, so taking care of animals has been second nature for as long as I can remember. From feeding livestock at sunrise to caring for dogs of all sizes, I’ve developed a strong sense of responsibility, patience, and connection with animals of all kinds. Back home, I have a Great Dane named Walter—so I’m very comfortable with large breeds as well as small ones. I’ve done numerous house sitting and dog sitting jobs over the years, and I always treat each pet like part of the family. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just a cuddle buddy while you’re away, I’m here to make sure they feel safe and loved. Pet care is still a big part of my daily routine. I can swing by mid-day for a play session, potty break, or feeding—whatever your pet needs to stay happy and on schedule. If it’s early morning walks, mid-day play sessions, or evening feedings your pet prefers, just let me know. I’m flexible and happy to work around your pet’s schedule to keep things consistent and stress-free. I take the time to ensure each pet gets quality attention and care, even during busy days. In your home, I follow all instructions closely and respect your space as if it were my own. I prioritize safety—keeping gates locked, leashes secure, and routines consistent. I also make sure pets stay comfortable, whether that means sticking to feeding schedules, administering meds, or just being a calm, reassuring presence. I’ll keep you updated regularly, so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. Please expect plenty of fun photos of your pet sent your way!

Reza is amazing. He took such wonderful care of both of my dogs. One is leash reactive and the other has separation anxiety. He was able to work with them and meet their individual needs. I came home to 2 very happy dogs and my apartment just as I left it. Reza’s communications with me were great and I got pictures of my dogs. Reza will always be my first choice. Without a doubt I recommend Reza to anyone looking for a kind animal loving person to look after their pets.
