Pet care experience

Loving Dog and Cat Care Provider

I have worked as a dog walker for the past 17 years. I have a passion for pet care and work at it as a full-time job, not as a side gig to make some extra money. I have experience working with all types and sizes of dogs, from chihuahuas to Great Danes, and everything in between. I have also worked with disabled dogs - my previous clients include a blind dog, and one who couldn't use his front legs and had to be carried outside. I can also administer medications as needed. I always take dogs out individually, not as part of a large group, so that they get lots of attention from me, and walk on the route that your prefer. I am comfortable working in any type of weather - as long as your dog wants to go out, I'll be there! In addition to walking, I also offer dog boarding at our house. We have a three-story house with a large, fenced yard for your dog to play in. We will treat them as a temporary member of the family while they stay with us. I also love cats, and offer cat-sitting. When I have walked dogs in households that also have cats, I would often spend several minutes visiting with the cat before the dog walk. I have two cats of my own, and am comfortable doing any type of care for cats, including scooping the litter box.

Gary has been an incredible help and someone I know I can always count on. They are dependable, always show up to let my pet out, and treat my pet with genuine care and kindness. Whenever I need to make changes to the schedule, he’s always understanding, flexible, and willing to accommodate my requests without hesitation

Gary took great care of Dina! He was easy to communicate with and his fenced in yard and home were very accommodating for dogs.

Gary was attentive and great with my pets. It was great peace of mind to know they were being cared for. Will be rebooking anytime we need pet care!

I have never left my dog with a sitter before unless it was family. I was nervous until I met Gary. We had a meet and greet to make sure my pup was comfortable there and when I did go out of town Gary sent me pics and updates daily. I have now used his services twice and won’t be taking Aries elsewhere as long as Gary is available!

Gary was fantastic! He took great care of my dog and made him feel cared for while I was gone. We will definitely be booking for Gary in the future for any needs.

Safety, trust & environment

I have my own house with a large, fully fenced yard. There is plenty of room out back for your dog to play and exercise while supervised by me. Your dog will the spend the rest of the time indoors with us. If coming to walk your dog, I will make sure that any water dishes are full when I leave, and can do any other service you require, such as feeding him or putting him back into a crate.
