Pet care experience

Love and passion for all dogs!

Hi, I’m Gako (gaa-koh)! I have a master’s degree in psychology and work in mental health, and one of my greatest joys is helping others — both people and pets. I know how important it is to find a trustworthy dog walker or sitter, and I’d love to be that person for you. I’m also a proud dog mom to a 4-year-old female Labrador retriever, who I’ve raised and trained since she was a puppy. Caring for dogs and supporting their growth through balanced training is something I take seriously and am very passionate about. My goal is always to help dogs live their happiest, healthiest lives. I’d love to get to know your pup — their personality, quirks, and what makes them unique. I look forward to meeting you and your dog!

Phenomenal with our pup! 10/10 Gako went above and beyond to make sure our dog was well taken care of while we were away!

Gako was excellent with our energetic golden retriever over several walks. She communicated clearly throughout the booking process, was reliable and punctual, and showed real dedication. We really appreciated her help and would happily book with her again.

Gako is an excellent dog sitter!! She took care of our dog Sunny when we took a daytrip and was communicative, timely, and documented the whole visit. We came home to a happy and tired dog. Would highly recommend Gako!

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I have flexible work hours and am happy to adjust to your schedule and your dog’s needs. If you ever need a last-minute walk or check-in, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’ll do my best to help!

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

Safety is always my top priority. I care for every dog as if they were my own—with love, patience, and attention. Do you have any specific rules, routines, or preferences for your dog? I’d love to hear them so I can make sure your pup feels comfortable and cared for.

Pets

A typical day

We’ll explore the neighborhood, parks, and nature spots like hiking trails or the beach. I also love playtime, fetch, tug, chase, or whatever your dog enjoys most! What activities does your pup love?

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Does your dog have any allergies, health issues, or behavioral concerns I should be aware of? For example, reactivity toward other dogs, animals, or children. Please let me know ahead of time so I can provide the safest and most comfortable care for your pup!
