Loving Dog and Cat Care Provider

Pet care experience

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.

We have used Gary twice for our dogs and he made the stay for our dogs amazing! I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs in Gary’s care which made choosing him the 2nd time an easy choice. Gary is kind as a person and as a caretaker he gave peace of mind while caring for our dogs. I recommend him for your dogs!!

Another great stay! Our dog had so much fun playing with Gary’s 2 dogs. She is tuckered out from all the playing she did. Would definitely use Gary again!

Gary is super, he has watched our dogs a couple times for us and is always very reliable and accommodating and our dogs always enjoy going there and love his big fenced in backyard. We recommend Gary as a sitter.

Nothing but good things to say about Gary. You can just tell when someone loves dogs and he's one of them. His own dogs are about the happiest dogs around and got along swimmingly with my puppy. Spread his name around and Rovers name around. Would not hesitate to go back.

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.
