Wildland firefighter and dog lover!

Pet care experience

Hello, My name is Gareth. I am 29 years old. I have always loved spending any sort of time with any type of dog. Unfortunately I work as a wildland firefighter in the summers so its impossible for me to have one of my own permanently right now, but I manage to get my fix vicariously through the dogs of other people. I've worked for a local animal shelter in Redmond in previous winters and was able to gain much experience with all different sorts of canines. As fire season is coming to a close I will have ample time to take care of and adventure with your dog as well. As a very active person, I love to go hiking and running and would love to have some friendly companions to go with!

Gareth was an awesome dog sitter, and obviously has a genuine love for spending time with dogs. He showed up on time, had a pocket full of treats, and was ready to take Lola hiking. He texted me a couple photos throughout the day. It was nice to have someone taking such good care of my pup and keeping her active. By the time she got home she was ready for a long nap.

Gareth is fantastic with animals. He's very engaging and animals love him. If animals are a good judge of character then Gareth must be a great person because I've never seen him around animals that didn't like him. If you want someone to care for and love your dog he's your guy.
