Pet care experience
I raised top working line German Shepherds for over 25 years. Currently, I have an 8 year old rescue pittie, an italian man named Alfonso Capone, a 5 year old XL Bully named Cheech who is the best house dog I've ever encountered, and a 3 year old Doberman named Sofie. Yes, I love their names, too. I inadvertently started a dog training business when my friends that knew my knowledge of dogs started telling their friends that had dog issues. I've helped people with aggression, fear, and other problems and I've coached people on how to have a more harmonious relationship with their pets. Now, I'd like to offer more services to help people and their fur babies. I'm available for walking and sitting services and if you are experiencing any unwanted behaviors I can help you with that as well. I'm active so energetic dogs are just fine--but I'm also a level 9000 cuddler. I hope to hear from you.
Reviews
Thank you, Geoffrey for always taking care of Lucky! It’s always a smooth stay with him and Lucky is happy.
Always a pleasure to leave Lucky with Geoffrey! Thank you.
Geoffrey and his team are great . They helped me rescue a shepherd last minute over Christmas break. I have since used Geoffrey again to visit my family for Easter . After each holiday esme was calm cool and collected and seemed to have a better temperament. I will be using his team for dog walking and both in and out of house dog sitting in the future.
Geoff is super cool, knowledgable, down to earth and took such good care of our pups! He was very communicative, insightful, and Stella and Parker came home tired and happy. Our 8 month old puppy, who has been giving us a run for our money, was calmer and better behaved than ever. Our older dog, who has historically shown himself as dog specific, had no issues under Geoff's watch. Given that Geoff usually has multiple dogs at once, including his own, this spoke volumes about his skills with dog socialization and dog behavior. While we were away, he sent us daily pictures and videos, assuring us that our pups were having a blast and well taken care of. Not only will I be hiring him again to watch our dogs, but I'm also going to be hiring him to train our puppy. Don't sleep on this guy!

Safety, trust & environment
I have a 6' fence all around with dig prevention and baby gates set up inside my home so that dogs can be separated to eat or to be in groups that get along well i.e. lower energy dogs with lower energy friends and higher energy dogs with others that want to romp.
Home
Information Geoffrey H. would like to know about your pet
I would just like to know any potential behavioral issues we may run into. Every time we have a first timer, I go through a process of relationship building and behavior assessment. All dogs are introduced slowly and safely and supervised 100% of the time.
A typical day
We can walk, jog, bike, or cuddle, depending on what level energy your dog has and what he/she is in the mood for. I also have Netflix, Hulu, and Animal Planet subscriptions.

Availability
Being with dogs is a lifestyle for me first for years before it ever was a business. I never have a day off and I love it.
