Safety, trust & environment

Your house your rules, tell me exactly how you want your dog cared for and I'll have no problem providing that service. From walks to playing with them in a yard to cleaning up after them.

Information Garrett R. would like to know about your pet

Just let me know if any quirks or special rules your dog has. I know some dogs don't like hats or need the kitchen to themselves when eating, etc. Let me know of anything they do different and I'll be sure to follow along.

A typical day

I love playing with or running around with dogs so any excess energy they have I'd love to help them run it off. Some dogs like walking more than playing or vice versa but I'm happy to help them tire out either way

Pet care experience

I've owned and cared for dogs since I was 10 and have always had one or two dogs living in my house. I've raised several dogs and cared for them from puppy stages to their senior years. I've owned and cared for many breeds from golden retrievers to pitties, Chihuahuas and shepherds. I have never met a dog that hasn't become my friend.

Garrett has been fantastic with my 135-pound Cane Corso. He quickly gained my dog's trust and has always handled him with confidence and care. Garrett is reliable, professional, and clearly has a natural connection with dogs. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and experienced dog handler.

I can’t say enough great things about Garrett! He’s always reliable, punctual, and truly cares about our pup. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing my dog is not only getting exercise but also receiving genuine love and attention while I’m away. Our dog absolutely adores him, and it’s clear he treats every walk like more than just a job. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, dependable, and wonderful with dogs.
