Certified dog uncle. Pets are life.

Pet care experience

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 is awesome! Our girls love him and his care! We have a special needs dog and he is attentive and follows their normal schedule. He truly cares about the dogs and their comfort and happiness! Great guy and a true dog lover!

Gary was great with our anxious dog! He sent us lots of updates and photos all throughout our trip so we could have some peace of mind. It was our first time leaving her with a sitter since we adopted her and it seems like she really enjoyed her time with him! She hardly seemed anxious at all and was happy to see us but definitely sad to leave as well.

Gary was an absolutely amazing dog sitter for our dog, Herman. We got stuck in GA traveling and Gary came to the rescue for us not hesitating to keep Herman an extra day for us. Herman had the best time and was obviously well loved and taken care of. We will DEFINITELY be using Gary and and can’t speak hoghly enough of him!

Gary did such an amazing job keeping our dog! We’ve boarded our dog other places and he’s had severe anxiety, to the point of needing to see a vet once we picked him back up because he’d made myself sick with all the stress! And that was even when he was being given anti anxiety meds! Our dog had zero stress with Gary and he didn’t even need to take the anxiety meds! What a different experience for both our dog and our family being able to go out of town and not worry about him! We highly recommend Gary and will be using him again for sure!

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. :)

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. :)
