Pet care experience
Animal Lover Raised on 32 Acres
What Sets Me Apart Growing up on 32 acres surrounded by animals, caring for pets has always been second nature to me. Because of that experience, I’m very comfortable around animals with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. Dogs have always been my favorite, but I genuinely enjoy spending time with cats just as much, and I love building trust with each pet I meet. Over the years, I naturally became the go-to pet sitter for family, friends, and neighbors whenever they went on vacation. They trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and spend time with their pets while they were away. That experience taught me how important consistency, patience, and attention to detail are when caring for someone else’s animal. I’m also comfortable caring for both energetic young pets and older pets that may need a slower pace or extra attention. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, and any special instructions to make sure pets stay happy and stress-free. What really sets me apart is that I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. You can expect reliable care, clear communication, and regular updates with photos so you always know your pet is safe and well cared for. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, loved, and relaxed while you’re away. 🐾
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Garrison was absolutely amazing with Krunch! From the beginning, he had great communication and made everything feel easy and stress-free. He was kind, patient, and very easygoing, which made me feel confident that Krunch was in great hands. Garrison sent regular picture and video updates throughout Krunch’s stay, which gave me so much peace of mind and allowed me to see how happy and comfortable he was. Krunch came home happy and well-loved after getting plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention. It was clear that Garrison truly cared about him and treated him like his own. I really appreciated the love and care he gave Krunch, and I would highly recommend Garrison to anyone looking for a dependable, thoughtful, and caring sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with him again!
I had an excellent experience with Garrison and couldn’t be more grateful for the care he gave my toy poodle, Brady. From the very beginning, Garrison was professional, attentive, and genuinely compassionate. It was clear right away that he truly cares about the animals he works with. Brady can sometimes be a little particular, but Garrison handled him with patience, confidence, and kindness. He took the time to understand Brady’s personality and needs, which immediately put both of us at ease. Throughout the entire experience, I felt completely comfortable knowing Brady was in such capable hands. When I picked Brady up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It meant a lot to see how comfortable Brady was with him. Garrison’s attention to detail and dedication to providing great care really stood out. I would highly recommend Garrison to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely great with dogs. Brady and I are both very thankful!
It was a pleasure meeting Garrison! Will be using him again. He is new to the area and did a great job watching my cat while I was away. My cat is very particular with new people and I was surprised how quickly he warmed up to Garrison. I found Garrison to be trustworthy and friendly.
Garrison has watched my 6 year old French bulldog, Brody, many times over the years, and I always know he’s in good hands with him. Back when I was going into the office every day, Garrison would stop by during the day to walk him and make sure he had some company. Anyone who knows Frenchies knows they can be stubborn and a little particular, but Brody absolutely loves him. Garrison is patient, attentive, and really good with dogs in general. I’ve always appreciated that he treats Brody like he’s his own, not just another dog he’s watching. He’s reliable, easy to communicate with, and someone I fully trust with my dog. I’d confidently recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable and genuinely caring dog walker. 🐾

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my routine, especially now that I’ve just moved to California. While I’m exploring new opportunities, I love spending time outdoors and staying active. Taking care of pets—whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or sitting—lets me enjoy the fresh air and meet wonderful pets along the way. It’s a flexible and fulfilling way to balance my job search with something I truly enjoy—giving pets the care and attention they deserve.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
When I care for pets, I make sure to keep things as comfortable and familiar as possible. In a client’s home, I follow their routines—whether that’s feeding schedules, walk times, or play preferences—so pets feel at ease. I give them plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, making sure they’re safe and happy. If I’m providing sitting in my home, I offer a calm environment with plenty of space to relax, play, and feel at home. No matter the location, I prioritize open communication with pet parents, sharing updates so they always know their pet is well cared for.
