Gary is THE BEST. Our beagle has stayed with him for short and extended periods....the only problem is she doesn't want to come home when we return as she loves staying there so much! He takes great care, communicates well and makes sure she is getting exercised. He lives in a perfect location for dogs with some room to explore his yard. We are so grateful he has been able to help us in this way. You can know your dog will be well cared for and actually enjoy the time they spend with him. We cannot thank him enough for the care he has provided and we look forward to letting her visit again.

Gary is an excellent dog sitter that will keep you pup engaged, exercised, and happy. He communicates well and has plenty of experience from raising and caring for his own pets over the years.
