Pet care experience

Experience - Patience - Heart

Hello, my name is Gary and am a recent transplant to the Denver area. I am currently re-building my client list post-move. :-) It is a pleasure to introduce myself to my fellow dog/cat/animal lovers! I am a life long dog owner, and a very experienced dog walker, dog/cat sitter, and caregiver. I love all dog breeds big & small! At 6'0" & 190lbs I can handle the strongest pup pullers and protect your sweetest of small ones :) I am more than happy to help care for your feline family members (or all critters big & small) as well. :-) I am detail oriented and very carefully follow varied instructions --- this bodes well in my handling of handi-pups & their special needs. No matter your critter's strength, size, or physical capabilities I have the experience, patience, and genuine concern to make sure your pet's needs are met completely. I look forward to meeting y’all and helping care for your loved ones. Thank you so much for your time & consideration. :-)

Gary was an extremely dedicated sitter and very kind toward XenaRoo’s challenges. He went above and beyond in my apartment, fixing things that broke and cleaning laundry that wasnt his responsibility. He also sent amazing pictures of XenaRoo every day. He was able to handle XenaRoo very well, she is a giant breed and not everyone does well with that type of dog. Thanks for all your effort and hard work!!!
