Reliable, compassionate care & love

Pet care experience

I have a lot of knowledge and experience with dogs and other animals like cats and exotics. I have fostered 20 dogs at my house in the past few years and adopted an awesome dog named Dug about 2 years ago. I have experience with feeding, medications, walking, some training, and I have also done a lot of cleaning in my time at the few kennels I worked at. I have taken care of dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, and small mammals. I have a certificate from a course I took as a Veterinary Assistant. Currently needing another job and animals are one of my passions. Looking to have a future with animals. My availability is pretty flexible and I am a very caring/passionate individual who is just looking to take care of some dogs!

Garett was great with Sophie and Shiloh. He communicated frequently while I was away. Both house and dogs were in great shape when I returned home from my trip. I’ll definitely use him in the future.

Garrett's passion is animals, especially dogs, but he has years of experience with cats, guinea pigs, iguanas, snakes, fresh and salt water fish. He and his family fostered 20 dogs for a local rescue association. Garrett has a vet assistant certificate and has worked at several animal shelters and kennels. He is reliable and ALWAYS on time. He loves to get right down on the floor to play with all sizes of dogs and cats. We are confident Garrett would be a GREAT match for your pets!

Garrett is very good with cats, reptiles, other animals, but especially dogs. He has worked with all types of dogs from German Shepards to mutts. He volunteered at a rescue in CT that was based down south in TN. He even took many dogs into his family home to foster until they found their forever family. I believe Garrett would be good and responsible with someone's dog/dogs.
