Highlights
Pet care experience
10 years Veterinary Experience
I am a fun and active animal lover and dog owner. I have 10 years experience in the Veterinary industry, and have been watching pets on Rover since 2015. I have cared for many species of pets for many family members, friends, and clients over the years. No animal is too big or small for me, and special needs pets are always welcome! Administering medications either orally or by injection is nothing out of the ordinary for me. I have cared for all stages of life from puppyhood all the way through geriatrics. I have also recovered puppies during Caesarean sections, and have raised a newborn puppy of just 14 days old. Taking care of animals isn't just a job, it's a way of life!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Garrett was amazing with our dog, Cooper! He kept us updated throughout our time away, letting us know how Cooper was doing and sending us photos of him relaxing and feeling right at home. We’re so grateful that Cooper got along so well with Garrett’s dogs. It gave us great peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. We would definitely trust Garrett to watch Cooper again!
amazing as always!
We have been using Garrett services for a year now and it’s always such a lovely experience! The boys love him and he takes good care of them. We have used his boarding services, and he kept us updated about the boys regularly and gave the boys their medication if they were on it. We have also used his dog walking services, he has always been on time, and informed us if any thing arises. I will definitely book and recommend Garrett because he loves taking care of dogs and his background with working with dogs. Thank you so much for taking care of Aiko and Sailor!
Garrett is always such a reliable and thoughtful sitter. Odin clearly feels at home with him and his pups, and I appreciate the frequent updates, great communication, and attention to detail. He’s someone I can trust with longer stays and special instructions, and it’s clear he really cares. Highly recommend!
Odin had another great stay with Garrett, which was especially important since he was recovering from surgery (again). I always appreciate the level of care Garrett provides and how well Odin gets along with Rex and Riley. So grateful to have a trusted sitter I can count on!
Garrett is such a reliable and thoughtful sitter! This was Odin's second extended stay, and he came home happy, healthy, and clearly well loved. Garrett took great care managing Odin’s wound care, medication routine, and even an injection during this stay, and kept me updated with helpful notes and photos along the way. Odin settled in comfortably and seemed right at home, which speaks volumes about the level of care he received. I really appreciate the attention to detail and calm, caring environment Garrett provides!

Schedule
I work remotely, so I am able to be home with your pet(s) all throughout the day and evening. I can accommodate varying schedules you have for your pets, whether it be timed potty breaks, timed medications, or any other needs they have throughout their day.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We currently live in a townhouse community. Although we don’t have a private fenced yard, the community area has many walking paths, large grassy areas, and lots of trees/shaded areas for enjoying the outdoors without overheating. It’s a very dog friendly community and has plenty of dog waste stations for keeping the community and public spaces clean. If your pet is crate trained, or needs to be separated during meals or while we’re out of the house for short periods, we also have a large dog crate that can be utilized if needed. Or happy to use any crates or anything you typically use in your home for your pet(s). I also have extra dog beds, food/water bowls, and toys that your pet(s) can utilize while staying with me.
Pets
A typical day
We can walk to any near by parks, play fetch or frisbee in a safe, enclosed area, or just casually walk around the neighborhood. I understand that a majority of their time is spent indoors, and I don't mind taking the extra time to allow them to sniff around and enjoy the time they spend outdoors, but I of course will adhere to any specific training techniques you have set in place. I hope to become not only a sitter to your dog, but an extension of their family.
