Paws and Purpose
Pet care experience
Throughout my life I've had the privilege of having no less than 2 dogs at any given time. There would also be bunnies, ferrets, birds, chinchillas, gerbils, guinea pigs, and lizards. I have had the joy of being around many different types of animals throughout my life and i am very grateful for that. Being around animals brings me immense joy, and i believe that my actions with my pets and/or with anyone else's pets has a direct impact on their happiness which i really take to heart, and this is of the utmost importance to me. When watching your furry family member i really like to ask myself, if i had someone watch my two four legged kids what would i like for them to do? and i like to apply that logic for every one of my four legged clients. One thing i really take pride in doing, is giving a good honest summary of the required booking. I will give you details on anything worth at all mentioning whether its possible anxiety moments, a subtle limp while on a walk, or something goofy and quirky they do that's cute. I really like to try and give more details than "they did good on their walk". As a owner of a cat and dog, i can say that I would love to see more of that. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I look forward to speaking with you as well as getting to know your fur baby. I am also willing to watch reptiles, rodents, or any other small pets (exotic animals) and will charge this at the standard cat rate.
Reviews
Corey was extremely helpful and dedicated to making sure our reactive dog was comfortable and taken care of while we were away. He was communicative, kind, and understanding with our requests for our pup's care the entire time he was around, and left our apartment just as clean as we left it. We will definitely be asking for his care again!
Corey was very patient with our dog, who takes a long time to warm up to new people. Corey took excellent care of her giving her a lot of walks, play time, and cuddles. By the end of our trip, our dog was very happy and relaxed. Corey also took good care of our many other pets including our cats, rabbit, and chickens. He communicated well and sent a lot of pictures and videos. I would recommend Corey and plan to use him again.
Corey was the best!!! He sent videos, pictures and updates of my dog and cat daily while I was away. I was able to enjoy my vacation without worrying about them. My house was also spotless when I got home. Much thanks to Corey.
Corey was wonderful! We were out of town for 7 days and he stayed at our house to dog sit our large black lab. We have never had anyone dog sit Gus, other than, a family member. I was a bit nervous in leaving a larger rescue dog with not the best manners with someone. Also, leaving a person to dog sit that I do not know. He sent several pictures and videos daily with updates on how they were doing. He followed all the instructions I had left. He replied quickly to any text messages that I sent him. When we arrived home, the house was in remarkable condition. He cleaned up very well after himself. This is a nice relief as when one comes home from vacation, they usually have plenty to do with unpacking and doing the wash, etc. He is very professional and easy going. Our neighbor has a cat and wanted us to report back as to how it went so that they may request his services, if needed. We highly recommended Corey to them. We hope to use him in the future so we can get away with a piece of mind. Thank you Corey!

It's very important that when you go to someones home you respect it as if it's your own place. I personally like to keep a neat and tidy home, so i would treat yours with the same respect. It's also very important to discuss any key details with the pet owner to ensure that their pets best interest is being met.
Information Corey G. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pet has any special needs or preferences that i can account for. Knowing this is vital for the comfort of your pet.
A typical day
Encouraging pets to be active both physically and mentally is very important for both cats and dogs. So for dogs while playing some games and going on a walk we would take our time (if dog is healthy we would do a little bit of jogging) and stop periodically checking some of the new smells. We would then head over to a great big park that we can explore and it would be a plus to go to a dog park so that they can socialize. For cats it would be good to encourag some play time and give them some pets. (but to also be mindful of their boundaries and if and when they need space)

I currently have a cat named ozzy and a Yorkie named Chicago, i make sure to tend to their needs on a daily basis, whether that's play time, cuddles, feeding, walks or maintaining a clean area i really want to make sure that any animal is given just as good of treatment as any person should receive. I'll also walk my neighbors dogs as well and help with whatever else is needed.
