I’ve taken care of of dogs since I was about 7, I’ve owned two as a child growing up. As an adult I spent most of my years as a single soldier as a mechanic and many of my coworkers need it sitters for a variety of dogs that I was always happy to assist with.

Safety, trust & environment
I typically don’t keep animals at my home, but in other people’s home I always like to be introduced to the pet by the owner and have a very in depth overview of the things their animals absolutely do not like. After that I really like to know the owners worries and what things they need in terms of communication to keep them comfortable. As for the interaction I definitely want to be slow with the pet has any sort of anxiety but I love to give them lots of attention weather that’s to play with them talk to them or let them get comfortable by sitting on my lap or holding them.
Ratings and reviews
Will be booking Gary’s services again! He’s a great communicator, v respectful and Púca came back from her walk tired & happy!
When Gary and my pup Aldo first met, it was an instant bond. I’ve known Gary before his time with Rover, but every dog he’s seen at my studio has been comfy. And when he’s taken Aldo on walks, Aldo comes back super comfy and super tired. Gary is great at leading Aldo on walks and making sure he comes back spent so I can keep getting work done.
Gary J. Is a wonder Pet caregiver. He is gentle and kind. I have witness this first hand with our dog. He seems to know the needs of pets without request.
Gary is not only hard working and timely, but also has an incredibly kind heart. He has been my cat sitter when I traveled internationally. It was comforting to know that my two cats (5 y/o and 15 y/o) were in good hands while I was away for work. I can assure you that Gary is the top choice to watch your fur babies! :-)
I can’t recommend Gary enough. He is my go to whenever I’m out of town, especially because my dog, Wookie, has special needs as a senior. Wookie deals with vision and hearing loss and is usually very slow to trust people, but he took to Gary right away. Professional, reliable, and genuinely kind your pets will be in the best hands

Schedule
Currently I’m a full time student working on my degree in audio design. I typically have classes twice a week with one online. On the weekends I dj Saturday nights 9-1am. I’m a very active person I run 2 miles to the gym at 6am 5 times a week and walk back after my workout. I’m a 16 year military veteran and have a lot of past experience with helping raise, walk and watch a variety of different animals while I was single and on active duty so now that I have more time on my hands it would be a great way to stay active throughout the week!
