Trusted Walks for Happy Pups!

I've been walking dogs since I was 9. From 1 20lb terrier to 3 fully grown retrievers and I've loved it all! I have a long break from work in the middle of the day. I'll be going out for walks and runs, and I want your dog to come with me!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I've handled dogs that are friendly and loyal, dogs that are ferocious and want to attack and ones that will try to escape and run away at all costs. I'm capable of managing any kind of dog and am happy to follow any instructions given to me :)

My girlfriend and I adopted a sweet Border Collie / Flat Coated retriever named Piper, however she was a little much for us to handle since we already have two cats and another dog. We gave her to Garrett and have been content knowing that Piper is getting as much love, exercise, and attention as we could have ever hoped. Garrett is an excellent dog owner and I love seeing him and Piper together, as much as I miss her. Garrett is compassionate with dogs, cats and I'm sure other pets also. I highly recommend him as a pet caregiver.

Hello, I highly recommend Garrett Lumley as a responsible and loving pet caregiver. Garrett grew up with a dog, a hamster, and various cats in the home so taking care of animals has always been a part of his world. He was the one who looked through the bars of a cage at the shelter and made eye contact with Breezy, the long-haired gray cat. One look was all it took and Breezy came home to stay. Garrett and Rocky (Cairn Terrier) were also best buds until Rocky passed away while Garrett was in college. Missing his little buddy, Garrett found his way to Piper, his current dog (a border collie flat coat retriever mix). Piper came to Garrett with a history of being fearful around men. I was there when they met and witnessed Garrett's calm, warm, and patient demeanor towards Piper. He spoke gently and let her come to him on her terms. It took less than five minutes for them to become inseparable. Garrett is very attentive to Piper's needs, walking her multiple times daily along with extended games of fetch at the park. He also knows just when and what to feed her based on her body's needs. Piper adores Garrett and they have developed a beautiful rhythm for their life together. Along with caring for his own dog, several of Garrett's friends and family have dogs and cats who he often cares for and plays with. Being around furry friends is a delight for Garrett. He is an animal-lover who will look after other people's pets as diligently as his own.

Garrett is a wonderful pet sitter! My dogs Biscuit and Sparky are always so excited when he comes over. He is so reliable, sends me updates on how the dogs are doing, and makes sure they are tuckered out. I would 10/10 recommend using him as a pet sitter!
