Dogs tend to bond with me quickly

Pet care experience

My family has had a couple dogs ever since I was about 10 years old. I've helped care for and loved them growing up. My family got new dogs recently and I instantly bonded with one of them since I met her. They love when I come to town. I take them on walks and they love sitting with me. They are always sad when I'm packing up to leave. I've pet sat for several friends over the years and have built a bond with a handful of dogs. My wife has also pet sat a couple dogs and they've bonded with me too. (She actually gets a little jealous when the dogs come to me first haha) It's rare that a dog doesn't like me. Multiple times I've had friends impressed that I've bonded with their pet so quickly.

Albert G is a gem. He walks my 2 dogs faithfully. When he came up the walk the dogs went crazy! He loves those dogs, and they love him! He always picked up their business. He let me know if I needed to know anything about them. Very friendly to me and my dogs!

If you want a reliable, safe option for your dog when you travel or don't have time, Albert is your guy! I highly recommend him.

Growing up we always had dogs that Albert helped take care of and loved. Til this day when he comes home to visit he walks the dogs, bathes them and sneaks in a few naps with them. Sometimes I think they are the reason he comes home and not us lol He is very gentle and loving and works well with pets.

Albert was so great with my dog! She wasn’t nervous around him and took to him very quick. I appreciated that he was gentle with her and willing to playing her. I highly recommend Albert, very responsible and easy to get along with!

Safety, trust & environment

I can take your dog on walks, I have experience walking dogs with other dogs around. I can navigate those interactions. But I tend to try and avoid those interactions to keep pets and myself safe. I am comfortable crating pets if needed. I will clean up after pets. I will respect house rules and not let pets go where they aren't allowed. I typically don't leave pets unattende They are usually in the same room as me for the majority of the time. I'm comfortable with different feeding and treat schedules. As well as giving medication to pets your preferred way.

Information Albert G. would like to know about your pet

Important health needs or medications is obvious. But also anything about their personalities. Are they extra friendly? Do they like their space. Is there anything they like to do/don't like to do? Do they need anything special that might just be a comfort to them like a blanket or toy. Is there anything I should be on the lookout for to best care for your fur baby.

A typical day

While watching pets - I give them plenty of attention and petting. I tend to keep the dogs close within the room or next room over. But will give them their space if that's what they prefer. We will have stimulating activities like games and toys. As well as taking them outside to stretch their legs either via the yard or on walk (whatever you are comfortable with). If I am walking your pup, I will take them where they are comfortable around their home and let them explore all the sights, sounds, and smells. I can take them as fast or as slow as they/you want them go.

I work full time Monday - Friday during the day. I am looking to walk in the morning as early as 5-6 am any day. During the week I would be available for drop in visits before work at lunch and after - so I could give a potty break every 3-4 hours. I'm also available for overnight stays any night. Currently I'm not able to boarding at my place, but eventually that might be a service I add.
