Safety, trust & environment

It depends on what fits the clients needs the best. There is no, "one size fits all," approach when it comes to keeping everyone's pets happy, and safe. Feeding, walking, playing, and sleeping on a regiment that follows your established schedule, while providing care for your fur babies is what I strive for!

Information Gary H. would like to know about your pet

I will monitor your pups and kittens very closely while I am working with your fuzzy babies. I really just need to know what signals you use for commands, any allergies, potty issues, type of food/treats, play habits, medication needs, and general schedule.

A typical day

Wake up, potty, breakfast, potty again, afternoon walk, play, reinforce training using your signals, dinner, potty, brushing time, potty, bed. Really, we're going to hang out, and be best friends the whole time. I'm a softee when it comes to turning down playtime, fetch, belly rubs, or a quick walk :)

Forget the usual booking stress!!!

Pet care experience

I accept last minute bookings!!! I will always strive to make sure that your fur babies are taken care of as if they're my own. I can count on one hand how many dogs that I haven't gotten along with. After years of training, caring for, and raising dogs, and puppies, it's quite the feat. I'm trying to build up as much experience as possible, and I sincerely hope to hear from all of you pet parents out there soon!!! :) ***Discount code for first booking: GARYH50387, https://www.rover.com/sit/garyh50387

Gary has provided both dog walking and pet sitting for me. He is prompt, reliable and clearly loves his job. It's a pleasure to work with him.

Gary has worked for me across a few businesses either owned or managed by me for well around a decade. He as a person has always been reliable and finds resources to either expedite processes or make things efficient. He puts passion and care into anything he does. This includes the love and discipline he applies to servicing animals as well. Gary follows concise instructions better than most, and will proactively ask questions about specifics with which he is uncertain to ensure it is executed properly from the start. The only feedback I can specifically note, is directing gary to use all available resources to find the answers to questions for himself before inquiring, or at least to have a basis for inquiry when doing so. In the handful of times we have collaborated since, he has demonstrated steady improvement and self-awareness in this area, and it nevertheless stems from a desire to execute with precision in all that he does from the start.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
