Pet care experience
I have 2 dogs pepper and Oreo
i, I’m Gus! To me, dogs aren't just pets—they’re family. As an electrician by trade, I bring a high level of reliability and attention to detail to everything I do, especially when it comes to caring for your pups. What I offer: Experienced Care: Years of walking and sitting for friends and neighbors. All Personalities Welcome: Specialized in helping shy dogs build confidence. Reliability: I show up on time and follow your specific care instructions to the letter. Experience with strong pullers: I have extensive experience working with strong pullers and high-energy breeds. I’m comfortable and proficient with various specialized walking tools, including no-pull harnesses (Front-clip styles like the Easy Walk and Harness Leads), Halti/Gentle Leaders (Head halters), and Martingale collars Whether your dog is a "vocal" walker, a heavy puller, or a shy rescue, I use patient, positive reinforcement to ensure the walk is controlled and stress-free for both ends of the leash. My Pack Background I’m the proud owner of two rescues: an 11-year-old Dachshund/Lab mix and a 5-year-old Staffordshire Terrier/Beagle mix. I’ve personally handled their training and socialization, so I’m well-versed in reading canine body language and managing different temperaments—from gentle seniors to energetic youngsters. I look forward to working with you and your dog!

Ratings and reviews
Finding someone who truly understands dog behavior is rare, but Gus is a natural. My dog, Riley, can be a challenge—adopted at 5-years-old with anxiety and bad habits—but Gus handles them with such patience, kindness, humor, and skill. He uses positive reinforcement, recommends harnesses to assist with Riley’s pulling, and has guided me to improve Riely’s leash manners. I have known Gus for three years, he is reliable and trustworthy. I am comfortable with him having him coming and going from my house without me there. I live alone so it is very important to me that I feel safe as does my dog. Before Riley, Gus helped me with my 13-year-old dog Dolly. Dolly passed away last year but I can tell you she loved the time she spent with Gus and his two dogs. He loves sharing photos of when he is watching my pup as well which is an added comfort when someone is caring for your precious animals. I would recommend Gus without hesitation. Drop him a line. You won't regret it.
