I am an independent field underwriter for a life insurance organization. I control my schedule so taking time for dogs is easy. I love dog park visits if your dog is able.

Information Gary and Kaitlin Nicole S. would like to know about your pet

It’s important to know their habits related to feeding, exercise, play, walks and any other activities they enjoy. A dogs temperament is important to know so everyone stays safe and gets the most out of their day.

A typical day

I live hiking, dog camping parks and going to the river. I love the outdoors and just sit in my yard for hours which most dogs enjoy.

Pet care experience

Many years of full time pet care business experience has helped me realize the importance of making lasting connections with all the pets in my care! Such great Therapy! I do full time pet care simply because I love what I do! In my numerous years of running a business I have encountered many experiences that have allowed and encouraged ne to understand a dogs needs before they become obvious! I do this for the love I receive from these animals because it brings me such joy! I cannot imagine doing anything else! I tailor how I care for your pet by how you care for your pet and then some. My goal is to find out what they like by trying new and different things and of course what they already like. Many times I find myself spending more time with my clients out of a pure love for what I do!

We went to asia for two weeks and Gary did an amazing job taking care of our home and dogs. We have a very active pup and he went out of his way to ensure he got his proper exercise. Gary also left our home in immaculate condition probably cleaner than we left it!! Thank you again so much and we would absolutely book you in the future!!

Gary has watched my dog Koda a few times now. He always does a great job- keeping me informed of what is happening and even adjusting his schedule to align with my mine. On one of my trips I was forced stay an extra day outside the US due to airline issues. Gary accommodated this unplanned emergency and made everything go smoothly. Personally, I think Koda believes he is the one on vacation when Gary watches him.

Hi highly recommend Greg! I was fortunate enough to not only book him last minute so my pup could get in a walk, but also able to do so on New Years Eve. My pup was obviously quite fond of him because he didn't want to stop playing with Greg once he brought him back home from the walk, and he continued to bring over one toy after the next to show him. I look forward to booking him again in the near future.

Gary was fantastic! He took great care of our boy and our home was just as we left it. He was also flexible with our travel plans. We will definitely book again
