Geoffrey can care for
Availability
I work remote 60% of the time, but do have to visit the office or help with field work which can be an 8+ hour day. I can do an occasional lunch walk, but prefer check ins and walks that compliment my work schedule. I'm happy to house sit for up to a week at a time but I need several weeks notice.

About Geoffrey G.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I won't force interaction beyond what's needed for skittish pets, but I always want to make friends. I'm cool with lap animals or if they hang out in another room. I'll enforce any rules you give for them, within reason and safety for myself.
Information Geoffrey G. would like to know about your pet
How much/what training has the dog had? Any behavioral quirks, such as small animal aggression, not liking hats, etc? Any known medical issues, age related or otherwise? I've dealt with diabetic dogs requiring twice daily insulin after eating. What's their general personality with family and with strangers? How do they get talked to, firmly or with a cute voice? How many other Rover folks have gotten to know them?
A typical day
Does your dog have a standard walk they like to go on around your neighborhood? Perfect! There are two fenced dog runs with a few obstacles at my apartment complex. A good size for fetch or zoomies, and usually empty/a few other dogs. Yardbar membership? Great, let's go (as long as that meets membership terms). Zilker park, or any dog safe hiking trail in town? Sure, but we're going to stay on a leash.

Pet care experience
I've taken care of corgis, terriers and weird mutts for friends for years. My family has had everything from shepherds to daschunds, and a menagerie of all sorts of other animals including some reptiles. I know how to read dog and cat body language quite well, and generally make friends with the new ones I meet immediately. I love snuggly animals, but I won't force affection if they're more aloof either. If you want your pet to learn commands or tricks, we can practice those! If you just want me to sit around with them, I've got plenty to read. If I end up getting a little bit dirty while doing the job, that's not a problem. I'm not going to do full time boarding in my apartment, but I've no issue keeping them with me briefly, or letting them off leash in the fully fenced dog parks we have. I'm happy to go explore a hiking trail or hang out at Zilker park if they need a larger space to run around in for a few hours.
Reviews
We are repeat bookers and think Geoffrey is great. He gives great feedback and lots of love to our senior pup. Highly recommend!
Great communication and care for my dog and home.
Geoff is literally the best on this app - always incredible with our pups and kitties❤️❤️
Geoffrey did daily house visits where he took Coco on nice long walks. He sent detailed updates and pics. He was punctual and reliable.
