Information Gary P. would like to know about your pet
🐕 Daily Routine & Care Feeding Schedule: What, when, and how much do they eat? Dietary Needs: Any allergies, restrictions, or special foods/treats? Exercise Routine: When and how long are walks? What are their favorite play activities? Potty Schedule: How often do they need to go out? (Or litter box cleaning frequency for cats). Behavioral Quirks/Habits: Any specific commands, house rules (e.g., allowed on furniture?), or unusual but harmless habits I should know about. 💖 Personality & Socialization Temperament: Are they shy, anxious, outgoing, cuddly, or reserved? Triggers/Fears: Do they have anxiety about loud noises (thunder, fireworks, door knocks), strangers, or being left alone? Social Interactions: How do they behave with other dogs, people, and children they encounter? This is crucial for our park visits.
A typical day
I love to make sure every dog gets the physical and mental stimulation they need! For High-Energy Pups (regardless of size): We'll focus on extended, brisk walks, running/jogging (if appropriate for the breed and health), and retrieval games like fetch across the spacious park fields. I am comfortable handling powerful leash-pullers and keeping up with intense play. For Smaller/Mellow Dogs: We'll enjoy leisurely park strolls for scent work and exploration, gentle play, and dedicated cuddle/snuggle time indoors, providing the gentle attention they need. For All Dogs: I incorporate positive reinforcement and basic command practice into our playtime to keep their minds engaged.

Reviews


Gary is a great guy & took amazing care of my 2 dogs for a week. My pups enjoyed themselves so much they were hesitant to come home. My dog Atticus turned 5 while I was away, and Gary made his day extra special w some very special treats.. which was much appreciated!!
Gary was very nice and did well with Sadie! Would definitely recommend him to a friend.

Gary was awesome and Lora had a great time! He sent pictures throughout the day too
Gary is so flexible and accommodating! Our travel plans changed due to family illness and he went above and beyond to help our trip still happen!
