I’m here to let the dogs out.
Pet care experience
Previously was working at a dog boarding/training/daycare facility. I have experience working with “kids”of all sizes, breeds, ages and temperaments. On an average day there I would monitor around 50 kids throughout the day at our daycare facility and watch over and care for about 15 kids on an average over night shift. I have experience with giving kids medications ranging from insulin shots to eye drops, bathing small pups to ones that were 100+ pounds, and I’m very aware of kids with reactivity and understanding their triggers and working with them to foster a relationship through it. Outside of working for a business that specialized in taking care of kids that were more friendly and social with people I also have experience working in a shelter with ones that need more specialized attention for traits that are more on the energetic/rambunctious to skittish and fearful. At the end of the day I could tell you all my qualifications and experiences but I think it’d be more genuine to just show you my phones camera roll and how 80% of it is just dogs I’ve cared for and looked after and consider my friends.
Reviews
Garet has become our go to sitter. He takes such great care of our fur baby.
Garet was great! We booked him last minute to dog sit at our home for a day. He was kind, timely, and sent picture updates. We would definitely hire him again!
I was absolutely able to relax knowing that my cats and dogs were well cared for. Garet was great about sending updates and photos. My dogs were immediately best friends with him and weren't stressed out at all while we were away
Garet did a great job with our dogs. He sent morning and nightly updates which I really appreciated and gave equal time to all of our pets. He even picked up our yard which was greatly appreciated and not something we asked him to do. We'll definitely be having him watch our pets again!

In your home I will do my best to leave as little impact/evidence I was there but do everything I can to make sure your kid is comforted and attended to. I love hanging out with them and will do whatever I can that will make your absence feel less stressful and on their mind.

Information Garet B. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know about your kids favorite things to do, what motivates them the most, any reactivity they have to be mindful of, and what their normal day/week/or walk is like!
A typical day
If your kid likes to snuggle up and relax at home we can do that, if they have a high energy level and need to burn some of it off we can do that. Anything and everything in between can be arranged and planned when I know what works best for them.
