Pet care experience

Certified dog uncle. Pets are life.

Hi, I’m Gary. A calm soul that feeds off the energy that dogs bring to this world. I’ve grown up with dogs all my life. Although I don’t have officially had one to personally call my own I love to spend time with them and strive to be the best dog uncle that I can be. I’ll treat your loved one as if it were my own. I love spending time outdoors, so going on adventures and getting exercise won’t be a problem. I live walking distance to an off leash dog park and a high school with lots of open fields. I also come equipped with tons of toys and good deed treats (per your approval). Please feel free to ask me any questions that you might have. I look forward to meeting you and your loved one!

Gary did a great job taking care of my mini Aussie while I was away on a weekend trip. He followed all the instructions I left and made sure to send updates along the way. Plus he was very accommodating for drop off and pick up. Will definitely be bringing my dog back to stay with Gary again!

Our pup, Meeko, is always stoked to see Gary. She practically jumped out of the car when we got to his house! Gary always keeps us updated and we know our pup is safe and happy. We will happily book him again.

Gary was kind and gentle with my dogs. They were comfortable the entire time I was away. Gary is a good communicator and can modify his communication to your needs.

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I currently work from home during the week and would be able to quickly attend to any of your pet’s needs & wishes. I’m able to make my own schedule throughout the day, so if a window of sunshine shows up during a rainy I’d be able to drop everything and make sure your dog gets an adventure in. :)

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets just like I would a human. Constantly making sure all of their needs are met such water, food, & bathroom breaks. I’ll also make sure that they’re active & happy if they have energy, but also will respect their space if they just want to relax & nap.

A typical day

I love taking dogs on adventure to get in all the exercise needed! I live walking distance to an off lease park if your dog likes to socialize & play with other dogs. If not, I also live walking distance to a high school that has acres of unused fields so we can play together one on one. :)
