Pet care experience

I raised two dogs for 14 years. One was a beagle named Brutus, the other was a lab/shepherd mix named Pupeye. I loved every minute of it. I dog-sat for my son. The dog’s name is Pippa. She is a 4-year-old golden doodle. I dog sat for my neighbor. The dog’s name was Max. Max was a 12-year-old lab. My dogs passed away over 20 years ago and I still think about them all the time. Dogs are family members. I treat other dogs like they are my own. Tell us about your pet sitting experience. When I took care of Max I checked on him about every 6-8 hours at his home. I feed him and took him for walks. We were able to make a strong bond over the years. My neighbors paid me, but I told them that it was not necessary. It was so much fun! Pippa would stay at my house for 7-10 days at time. She stayed over several times. It reminded me of the time I raised my own two dogs. It was wonderful.

Once again, Gary was excellent. I don’t trust anyone else with my cat.

Gary watched my cat while I was out of town for two weeks and did an excellent job. He was punctual, accommodating, and, most importantly, affectionate and responsible with my cat. I knew from the moment I met Gary that I could expect great things. I can’t recommend him highly enough.

Gary has been a private dog walker for my Goldendoodle, Pippa, for years! Gary is a responsible and caring dog walker who absolutely LOVES dogs - highly recommended.
