Pet care how you need it.

Pet care experience

I’ve been around pets my whole life. Growing up with both dogs and cats I learned to connect with different animals in different ways, and that each pet is unique! I began pet-sitting on my own at around 14 but I had been assisting my older brother and occasionally my parents pet-sit since I was very young. I have experience with all ages of both animals. I raised a golden retriever mix puppy growing up, currently own a very senior cat, and have pet sitting experience with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes as well. Did I mention I have a pit bull mix too? I’m currently self-employed and take care of pets frequently already as I come and go from work as I please. My morning and nights are both flexible and I have my own transportation. I currently only offer visiting or boarding at the pets home. In terms of taking care of pets I’m open to anything, I can follow very detailed instructions or keep it simple and form my own routine, I enjoy walks, brushing, petting and play time !

Garrett did a great job taking care of our outside cats! He provided daily updates along with photos. We will definitely use Garrett again in the future.

We have 2 big dogs — one of which can be rather timid around new people. When meeting Garrett, he didn’t bark at all & warmed up to him quickly. They loved their walks and we’ll definitely have him back. Did a great job!

Garrett house-sat for us for a week, and was great with our dog. Our pup is older and has anxiety with other dogs. Garrett gave him the special attention he needed, and also gave him his daily pro-biotic. Our dog needs his routine to be happy, and not having to disturb it too much was a big help. We will definitely be using Garrett's services again!

Information Garrett P. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs preferences or medications ahead of time. Also let me know if your dog needs any exercise/is trying to lose weight as well as any activities you would like to encourage or discourage.

A typical day

I think it’s best to walk dogs in the morning and night to avoid the hotter middle portion of the day on the cement, and instead play in a yard, indoors or a dog park during that time. At night i typically give the dog a special dinner such as adding a treat to end the day right.
