No doggo too big, pupper too small

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.

Pets

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.

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!

Garrett was so communicative and great with my dog Izzy! He updated me when it was rainy during Izzy’s scheduled walks and made sure that Izzy got his exercise/business done without spending too much time outside. Very nice guy - we would definitely use him again so I wish he wasn’t moving out of Philly!!

Garrett is a true animal lover! He has watched our dog and cat a few times, and quickly became one of our dog's favorite people. She get so excited when he comes through the door! Our cat is a little more picky about who she counts as a friend, but Garrett always makes a point to say hi to her and give her some treats when he comes over. He sent some adorable pictures while we were away too! I highly recommend Garrett to watch your pets as long as you won't be jealous if they end up liking him more than you!
