Pet care experience

Big, fenced yard! I love them all!!

I've had dogs my entire life and am defunitely the fella at the party who would much rather scratch some dog tummies than talk to humans 🤣 My sweet boy went to doggy heaven in August of 2023 at the ripe old age of 15 and now I have a prime doggy location but no doggy! I work as a musician, so my longest "shift" is 3 hours, and they are almost always in the evenings, when my lovely girlfriend is home if, indeed, the doggies need attention while I'm gone! I'm experienced with senior dogs, medication (even the not-so-fun to give kinds), separation anxiety doggies, and though I've never actually raised a puppy of my own (the late, great Bo was 1 when I adopted him), I've had 2 roomates that got puppies while I lived with them, knowing I was willing and able to help 😎. Cheers!

Gary was a great dog sitter for our 3 month old puppy and our 7 year old dog while we were out of town. He communicated well and sent lots of updates while we were gone.

Gary is absolutely amazing! Great communication and care for my fur baby! Not having to worry about my dog made my trip easier. Thanks Gary! I will definitely book again.

Gary and his lovely companions were amazing at caring after our Jewels over the weekend. Gary went out oh his way to accommodate our needs for Jewels and went above and beyond to make Jewels feel at home. All the pictures and videos he provided us with reassured us that our Jewels was in great hands. 10/10 would recommend!!!

My only commitments outside of my home are gigs, as I am a musician, but none of these result in more than 3 or 4 hours away from home, and Ill communicate when those are.

Safety, trust & environment

At my own home, I have a pretty good amount of space (especially the yard), and a great girlfriend who is more than willing to lend me a hand when needed, and is as much of a dog lover as I am. My dog slept in my room with me either on my couch or my bed and yours is welcome to do the same. I can also kennel them in the "dog room," if they prefer to sleep in their dens! Really, the dogs can be anywhere in my home, any time.

Pets

A typical day

I like walking, with or without dogs, so we will definitely start the mornings on a juicy leashed walk, but I also have a big fenced in yard where the pooches like to sunbathe and play fetch and are welcome to do so literally all day.

I really do like all dogs and, humility aside, I really am always the fella who people say "wow he normally doesn't like people and he loves you" too, regarding their dogs ?!
