A typical day

I love taking pets over to the dog park to socialize or king walks in the beach up in sf. Playing fetch or tag is one of my favorite past times. Also if the dog is up for it I like to jog 2-4 miles with them either on the beach or a nice park trail:

Gary was an absolute godsend for my dog Jack, who has separation anxiety! This was the first time I left Jack with anyone since he developed separation anxiety after a move. Jack climbed into Gary's lap during the meet and greet, which I knew was a good sign. (He's also not a small dog.) When Gary came for housesitting with Jack, Jack was super excited to see him. I left for almost eight hours and felt confident that Jack was in good hands. When I returned home, I could see that Jack had a good day with Gary. Gary came back for two hours the next day, and I didn't worry at all. Gary had the perfect combination of calming and playful energy that Jack needed. Will definitely hire him again! Thank you, Gary!

Gary watched our 2 dogs while we went to SF for the evening. He took them for a walk and kept us updated with pictures. Both pups were happy when we got home.

One of my go to sitters for my cat Brie! I really appreciate the time he spends with my cat and actually chills with her and watches tv (she loves hanging out with the tv on) so my cat is always comfortable during his visit :)
