Pet care experience
I was born into a home with a well educated German Shepherd. My father trained mainly Pit-bulls and Shepherds. My grandparents raised and bred Keeshons and Golden Labs during much of my lifetime. I have always had a special interest and investment in raising and training canines! Not just big dogs but little ones too. My mother worked with a rescue shelter that also certified and 'dispatched' therapy animals. I have certainly learned a lot about taking care of pets. I also have the patience, heart, and experience to provide excellent care for some of the most special of needy dogs. I have one cat, her name is Lucy! If we have a pooch over for the night she stays with her sister Luna, who lives right next door. Please, if your pet requires any medication or has any special needs, please outline those needs specifically with a written note and verbal communication upon arrival. I am completely available to you and your pets full-time untill further notice! late-nights, or early mornings, offer me courtesy and I'll be the flexibility! I live in an apartment, non-smoking, we have a small parking lot out front and a unfenced yard in the back. I have two friendly neighboors who both have cats and also love furry animals, the kitties stay inside and are well mannered. Neither of them are very 'sharp and pointy.' I drive a hatchback and can transport dogs up to a large size who are well car-broken. I enjoy strolling through washington park and hanging out at the dog park on the North end of town (Stuart park.) your pet and I will not go anywhere together, (other than my home and neighboorhood,) without your express permission.
Reviews
Garrett took such great care of Winston. He sent frequent updates and pictures to let us know our little guy was doing just fine. He even gave him a bath the day before our return. We will definitely be using him again in the future if needed.
Champ came home a happy pug, and with a lovely parting gift--a cheap stuffed animal that he thinks the world of--to boot. Garrett was most flexible and accommodated a late-night return so I could be reunited with my pride and joy as soon as I got home instead of having to wait until the next morning. No worries here.
Garrett was great with Cali and sent me updates. Cali took to him well. I would use him again if I need a dog sitter in Springfield.
My pup loved staying with Garrett! I was able to relax on my vacation knowing she was having just as much fun as me with her new Rover Dad. I was concerned about putting my dog in a kennel bc she can be anxious and has some PTSD from a previous owner. Garrett put my mind at ease with tons of cute updates. Very responsive to inquiries and messages. Your furry friend will be love him!
