Fun Loving Experienced Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

I've had dogs around me my whole life and I want to be a dog sitter to make some income off of something that brings me so much joy, dogs. My dad and I have trained each of the dogs I've ever owned in potty training and general commands. I also worked at an Animal Care Center, that was attached to a veterinary hospital, for 6 months where various breeds of dogs would board or just come in for day care. My duties included feeding, walking, watching play groups, cleaning, and giving medications. It was a pleasure working their and it gave me great skills to increase my care giving abilities for dogs. I am available just about everyday but only during certain times of day like mornings, evening and overnights. My regular job as a professional dancer keeps the rest of my time. Providing a warm and caring environment I want your dog to always feel welcome and like am a friend and not just another stranger. I want the best always for my dog and that is what I want to give to your dog as well!

Gary was a joy! I've only had my adopted dog for 1 week and was nervous about parting from him for a few hours while I wrapped up work at my job. Gary was great with Beau--gentle, patient and loving. I'll definitely ask Gary to help out again. Beau and I couldn't be happier.

Gary's abilities as a dog caregiver are extensive. Not only has he worked with dogs professionally in a veterinary setting, but took care his own dogs and those of friends on a personal level. Few people I know have such a strong love of animals and the care that goes into creating a relationship with them. He's a trustworthy, friendly, and incredibly qualified dog lover and caregiver.

Gary came to us via a friend's recommendation. It turned out to be a great decision. He treated all the pet guests we took care of with respect and kindness. He was very observant and made everyone aware of any issues that we needed to attend to. He was also a team player and his personality made it easy to get along with him.

I don't have any breed preferences but some general things I would like to know before hand is if there are any medical conditions to be aware of, if they are toy aggressive (don't like to share with others), and how their eating patterns typically are.
