Safety, trust & environment

I'm very attentive to animals' social cues and believe this is very important for pet sitters and dog walkers to be aware of. Whether you want your pet to be social or stay away from others I will accommodate, and can watch for signs when they need some space. I follow all pet owners' rules, boundaries, and guidance for feeding, care, and socializing while on walks or in your home.

Information Garrett D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs, behavioral, medicinal, or otherwise. I am patient and understanding and willing to accommodate all animals.

A typical day

I enjoy walking and sight seeing with pups. We can explore the neighborhood, meet the neighborhood dogs (or not), chase a ball, or run in the park.

Pet care experience

There's no doggo too big or pupper too small, I'll walk em all! I can go fast or take it easy depending on the dog and their energy level or needs. I am a lifelong animal lover who grew up with several foster dogs in and out of the house while socializing and re-homing them. I've spent time volunteering at animal shelters like the Nebraska Humane Society in Omaha, NE as well as Street Tails Animal Rescue in Philadelphia. I'm frequently the go-to pet sitter for my friends and family when they leave town. I've cared for dogs and cats alike, both in my home as well as drop-in visits and walks.

So easy to communicate with and clearly cared for our dog’s needs! We have a 120 lb Bernese mountain dog that seemed to love walking with Garrett! Asked great questions and went out of his way to be accommodating. Would highly recommend!

Garrett was a great walker! Easy communication and quick to respond, set up a meet and greet so I felt comfortable, and provided a nice update about my pup. Thanks for taking care of Archer!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
