Dogs at the park come to me for sec

Pet care experience

Dogs like me and I like them. We bond quickly. I have lots of squeaky balls and other dog toys for them to play with. I tried to put in testimonials but the app wouldn't accept them. Available on request.

I have known Gary for 9 years. I often have him care for my dog, for both short and long term boarding. Gary is a caring and loving pet giver. He also has an adorable dog which get along with all critters. I highly recommend Gary as a pet sitter.

Gary has been bringing his dogs to my house for over 40yrs. His dogs are well behaved and well loved. He is an excellent pet parent and sitter. Large dogs and small dogs. The neighbourhood dogs love it when he goes by. Rest assured there will be no worries in leaving your pet with him, short term or long term. You won't be disappointed.

I met Gary a few years ago while walking my dog around our neighborhood. He was walking his dog, Dobby. It ended up that we ran into each other often on our walks and we would continue walking together. I found Gary to be a nice man who really cares about dogs. When my parents couldn't watch my dog, when my family was going out of the country for a few weeks, only a couple of weeks of knowing Gary, I didn't hesitate to ask Gary if he would mind watching our dog in his home while we were away. I didnt trust anyone else. Our dogs got along great and I knew he would take care of my dog as well as he took care of his own. Gary immediately agreed. While away, Gary emailed me photos of my dog and his dog playing, and gave me an update how my dog was doing, and I hadn't even asked him to do that. Since then (and for several years), Gary has invited my dog over to his house many, many times to play with his dog. I would leave him with Gary for several hours. Every time, my dog comes home extremely happy and sleeps like a baby, being worn out from all the fun he had. Every time we pass by Gary's house, my dog stops and looks around for him and has even dragged me up the stairs to his front door. He wouldn't do that if he didn't enjoy being with Gary. I have also seen Gary taking care of other neighbors' dogs and he loves each one as if they were his own. I can't recommend Gary enough. Dogs love being with Gary and they love being with him.

Gary is extremely passionate about dogs. He enjoys playing with them, going for walks in the park, and providing them with love and attention. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dog sitter.
