I will run with your dog!

Pet care experience

I'm a half-marathon runner and dog aficionado, so I'm more than happy to run your overly-energetic pup so both s/he and I can get some exercise. My schedule is pretty flexible, and I'm good with all sizes of dogs (I actually love pit bulls!). I grew up in rural Georgia with a hyperactive Australian Cattle Dog (blue heeler) and am well-acquainted with high-energy dogs. Although I enjoy running dogs, I'm more than happy to do drop-in visits and house-sitting as well. I have two cats of my own, so if you need help with litter box duty or feeding, I'm more than willing to oblige. I'm conveniently located in the King Farm neighborhood, so if you'd like your dog to visit the dog park there, I'm more than willing to take him/her there.

Great attention to details towards pet’s well being. I have a Dog taken care off for a week, and I strongly recommend Gary for how well he worked around it to get to respect him, even though the strong dog’s personality and rude attitude towards strangers.

Our second time having Gary walk our dogs (two big dogs) was just as good of an experience as the first time! Gary will definitely be our go-to for dog care from now on. Thanks, Gary!

Gary was great. He was able to walk Diego on a last minute notice, and seemed to have no issue with it. ++ very good with communicating. Thanks!

Gary was great! It was our first time using Rover and having Gary walk our two golden retrievers (large dogs) and all went well! Gary updated us each day on their walk and made the whole process comfortable and reassuring. It's not easy walking two large dogs at the same time, which was a slight concern for us as I'm sure it is for others with multiple large dogs, but he handled them very well! He also sent us photos =). We'll definitely be asking Gary to watch our dogs the next time we are out of town. Thanks, Gary!
