I do it FURRRRR the pets 🐕 🐈 ❤️

Pet care experience

I have more than a dozen years of experience caring for a wide variety of dog breeds - all sizes and ages i.e., puppies and senior dogs. During college, I volunteered as a dog walker at a local dog rescue, where I became comfortable and competent handling large breeds with particularly challenging behaviors. I LOVE dogs (and cats) and always ensure I can provide the time and undivided attention necessary to deliver the best possible care!

Garrett was a first time boarder for my dog, Egypt. We met for a meet and greet the weekend before her stay. The day I dropped her off for boarding, Egypt saw him and ran over to him on her own to greet him. He sent pics on a regular basis and kept me updated on some of her activities. He would be a definite repeat boarder but unfortunately he was in the process of relocating for work. Good luck to him if he does do Rover in his new location and any dog will be lucky to have him.

Garrett is a great dog sitter. He has watched my dog many times and has always been attentive and caring. He has lots of experience with animals and a solid intuition for how to best care for them. I recommend him to anyone who wants a competent caregiver for their pet.

Garrett is an excellent pet caregiver, but more importantly he is a dog enthusiast. Garrett is extremely responsible and timely in both his care and communication. He will care for your pets like they are his very own and I would never hesitate to hire him to watch my dog again. 10/10 would recommend.

Garrett is a caring and compassionate person. He truly loves fur babies. I have personally seen him go out of the way to see/care for cats and dogs. He has been visiting Joro (a sweet black cat) of his neighborhood. He is caring towards joro, he plays with him and you can see true joy From Garrett’s face when he is around any animals. I have also seen him dog sit syble (a sweet puppy) of his friend’s. He is loving towards her and she gets so excited when he is around. There is no better person than Garrett to be a loving pet caregiver.

A typical day

Whether your dog prefers chasing balls or frisbees, going for neighborhood walks/runs, or long-distance hikes - I am here to make it happen! I enjoy every aspect of pet care and it is likely your dog may pick up a new trick or two under my care i.e., shaking or rolling over. There are several walkways and trails where I can take your dog walking or running - depending on its needs and energy level. Whatever your fuzzy family may require - I am the guy for the job!
