Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Murphy had a great stay with Gary, it was easy to coordinate and he was very communicative! Would definitely use his services again!
Gary is a great sitter. He sent pictures and updates and Bartley always looked happy.
Gary sent great updates of Margot throughout the week & was flexible when our pickup time changed. Would definitely ask him to watch her again - looked like she had so much fun!
Always so accommodating and flexible, and our dog comes back happy as can be!
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.

Schedule
I work from home full time and can easily adapt to your pups routine! I typically do 5 potty breaks and atleast a walk a day!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a large fenced in back yard and I live in front of a park with a two baseball fields that I use for extreme fetch!
A typical day
I love to make sure every dog gets the physical and mental stimulation they need, so please let me know what they enjoy and bring toys! For High-Energy Pups (regardless of size): We'll go on longer walks followed by playing in my backyard. I really enjoy fetch with pups but please let me know if your pup struggles with recall. I will stick to my enclosed yard rather than the baseball fields. 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.
