History
5 Star Service Established in Austin, Texas
I grew up in Norco, CA on a ranch with show horses and all sorts of pets and critters, and have lived and worked around the world. During my time living in Austin, Texas, I was inspired to use my many years of animal care experience to deliver excellence in animal care and support to pets in need.
Operating in Austin, TX from 2014-2017, and in the Gilbert, AZ area in 2018, BatCo’s consistent 5-Star reviews and glowing testimonials from past clients attest to my commitment to providing you and your pets with the highest standard of care and personalized attention to detail. I’m looking forward to meeting all sorts of new critters and their humans in the Yucca Valley area!
Why “Bat Country”?
Austin is the perfect city for anyone who loves bats. The Congress Avenue Bridge is a famous landmark and is home to the largest urban Mexican free-tailed bat colony in North America!
The choice of business name was also personal–I’m a professional writer, with an unhealthy obsession for Hunter S. Thompson’s Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Between my literary leanings, and Austin being a bat-crazy city, Bat Country Pet Sitting was born!
