I'm Energetic and Home Full-Time!

Pet care experience

I have owned dogs since childhood, from rescue dogs to personally picking out liters. Since I can remember I have always enjoyed the company and love from dogs. I have professional experience as a DVM Assistant and personal experience dog siting and boarding for as long as a week. I'm available all day during the week and weekend. I live in a 35 building apartment complex that has walking areas and a pond perfect for a dog. I love being able to take dogs walking, jogging, and playing around the complex. Also, plenty of trees and shaded areas. Your dogs are happily welcome to cuddle on the couch and play around on the carpet in the apartment. I would prefer potty trained, but not a must.

Gary was the best. Our pets were so well cared for, and they take lots of maintenance. Gary certainly went above and beyond the call of duty, cleaning up after two "old boys", and keeping up with one spring chick. The house was immaculate. We were all sorry to see him leave!! The best!!!

I have known Gary my entire life, and I can say with certainty that he is a major dog lover. I have always known him to be very happy when he is around dogs, and I think he would make a fantastic dog sitter.

Gary is my nephew and a dog lover. He will care for other fur babies as his own. I have five dogs, four of which live indoors, and he loves them all. He has shown only kindness and tenderness toward my babies.

Information Gary F. would like to know about your pet

I am pretty open with assisting you with potty training, but I would prefer a dog that is potty trained. I really don't have a preference concerning breed, I love all dogs the same. I would love to be able to meet and get to know you and your dog before appointments. Knowing anything and everything that I would need to get or do is also very important. Please also provide any dietary restrictions and your daily patterns so your dog will feel right at home with me.

A typical day

There is a beautiful 1.5 mile stroll, jog, or potty walk throughout my apartment complex for the any dog. Down the road is a beautiful park in the Sherwood Forest neighborhood to go run off all that extra energy. The complex has a huge pond with ducks for the playful dog and if we get too active, I have no problem bathing and pampering your baby. The options are pretty open for your loved one. I am going to soon have the apartment full of toys, treats, and bedding. The couch or carpeted floor is always an option.
