Exercise dogs. Have trained dogs

Pet care experience

I have always owned dogs growing up. Trained all breeds of dogs. Owner of the first female coon dog inducted into the professional Coonhunters Hall of Fame (mid 1980s) l am 62 years old in good health. Love to get out and exercise. I am known as the dog whisper. A retired Mennonite farmer who is experienced in nurturing all farm animals.Have worked with veterinarians on canine health and nutrition. I can help with obedience training if needed. Trustworthy honest dependable with a heart for animals.We have no dogs and your pet would get my full attention.I can run a 5K in less than 30 minutes so if your dog needs exercise I’m the person to call. I travel to see my grandkids so I don’t own my own dog. Let me be a grandpa yours!

Jake had a great time with Gary and Julie, I could tell he really liked Gary when I went to pick him up. Gary sent pictures of Jake that put me at ease since this was my first time using Rover. I plan to use Gary as a sitter again for my next trip.

Always a pleasure and an easy transition with Gary and Julie. Our golden really seems to enjoy being with them while we are away. And I know she is getting all the love and care she needs!

My fur baby absolutely loved staying with Gary and his wife. They both took such good care of my girl. At the end of her stay when it was time to come home, my baby stood like a statue and refused to leave. They truly cared for her and loved her like a member of their own family. We rescued our dog from a heart stick shelter in which she was next in line on death row, and I truly think she suffers from PTSD. She also has cancer and other chronic illnesses and I was so very reluctant to leave her with anybody. When my hubby surprised me with a 30th Anniversary trip, I almost refused to go because I did not want to board my fur baby. Thankfully, I found Gary to care for my sweetie and was able to enjoy my trip since Gary texted daily pictures and updates showing how at home my girl was in his care. From my dog's reaction staying with Gary was like a fun vacation with Grandpa. I would not hesitate to have Gary sit her again since I know how much she loves him and his wife and how very much she loved staying with them. Thanks Gary to both of you for giving my little girl so much TLC! I appreciate you guys more than you will ever know! I would highly recommend Gary if you are looking for someone you can trust to love and care for your fur baby!
