Expert Dog Sitting for Special Breeds in Austin: Safe & Secure

Discover the ultimate care experience for your special breed with our exclusive dog sitting services in Austin, specifically designed for working breeds such as Shepherds, Malinois, Corsos, and Rottweilers. Whether your cherished pet is geared towards service work, sports, or simply needs a secure haven, we offer a specialized environment that understands and caters to high-value dogs.

Specialized Care for Working Dogs: With over 25 years of experience in handling working breeds, I provide a personalized and secure setting for dogs that may not be people-friendly or are undergoing rigorous training. My background as a former vet tech and a seasoned handler of working dogs—including roles in fostering and rehabilitation—ensures that your dog’s unique needs are met with professionalism and care.

24/7 Supervision and Tailored Activities: Your dog will enjoy constant supervision since I work from home. My facility is equipped with a full 6 ft fenced yard, providing ample space for exercise and play. Each stay includes two daily 30-minute leash walks, yard time, and food puzzle toy enrichment. Additional tailored training sessions are available to maintain and enhance your dog’s skills and well-being.

Exclusive, Individual Attention: I only host 1 or 2 dogs from the same household at a time, ensuring personalized care and attention. This exclusive service means your dog will enjoy a peaceful stay without the stress of overcrowding. While I cater to dog-neutral or dog-friendly pets, accommodations can be made for special cases through a crate and rotate system, upon request and with additional fees.

Fear-Free Techniques and Ethical Training: My approach to pet care is grounded in fear-free methods, incorporating plenty of praise, food, and toy rewards. I adhere to your preferences for gentle corrections or discipline, focusing on prevention and positive reinforcement to foster good habits and prevent undesirable behaviors.

Rates and Services:

• Daycare services start at $24 for 8 hours, with a full 24-hour stay priced at $40.
• Long stays over 48 hours receive a 25% discount.
• Add training sessions for just $20 a day, which includes multiple short, focused sessions tailored to your dog’s attention span and needs.

Meet and Greets for Peace of Mind: Understandably, leaving your special dog with a new sitter can be daunting. That’s why I’m open to pre-sitting meet and greets to discuss all details and ensure a perfect fit for your pet’s needs. This meeting is crucial for setting up a successful experience for your dog and peace of mind for you.

A Trustworthy Refuge for Your Working Breed: Your dog is more than just a pet; it’s an investment and a beloved family member. At our specialized facility, we don’t just watch over your dogs; we provide a sanctuary where they can thrive under expert care. With extensive experience and a deep understanding of the unique traits of working breeds, we are committed to delivering the highest level of service.

Your Dogs are Our Priority: Ensuring the safety and well-being of your dog is at the forefront of what we do. We focus on creating a stress-free environment that supports their health and happiness. Dogs that are not people-friendly find a comfortable retreat here, as we specialize in handling dogs with unique temperaments and needs.

A Home Away From Home: My home is not just a sitting service; it’s a second home for your dogs where they are treated with the same love and respect as my own pets. The dogs are allowed to roam freely within the house and yard if they are dog-friendly, making them feel at ease and part of the family. Our resident dogs, both highly dog-savvy and friendly, serve as perfect companions and role models, teaching or playing in a manner that respects each guest’s space and temperament.

Specialized in Handling Elite Training Needs: For owners of sport dog prospects or puppies in need of specialized care while you are away, we provide an environment that continues the training and socialization required to maintain your dog’s progress. This is especially important for those who have invested significantly in their dog’s training for service work or sporting prospects.

Ethical and Humane Practices: We believe in using only humane and ethical methods for managing behavior, ensuring that your dog’s training and socialization do not regress during their stay. Our practice of preventing bad behaviors through proactive measures helps maintain the training standards you’ve set, ensuring that your dog does not return home with any new issues.

Convenient and Flexible Booking: Understanding the unpredictable nature of your schedule, especially if you are involved in business or family travels, we offer flexible booking options to accommodate your needs. This includes easy scheduling, straightforward cancellation policies, and the ability to handle last-minute requests whenever possible.

Rates and Discounts Detailed:

• 24-hour care is provided at $40, with extended stays over 48 hours eligible for a 25% discount to make long-term care more affordable.
• Each additional training or enrichment session can be booked for $20, providing valuable reinforcement of skills during your dog’s stay.
