Pet care experience
I grew up on a small homestead with a plethora of animals to look after and go on adventures with. Some may even say that I was the best little boy a country dog could ever ask for. The cats would even hike through the woods with me...maybe to make sure I was home in time for dinner (their dinner, that is). After moving to the city and graduating college with degree in biology, I worked in the animal health field for a couple of years due to my inherent passion for animals. And because of that job, my friends assumed I'm was a veterinarian. Due to this loose association, I was usually the first person to get a call when a friends chihuahua ate a whole chocolate Easter bunny. I've briefly volunteered my time caring for animals at shelters such as Acadiana Animal Aid and I occasionally pet sit for friends. In general, I always look forward to meeting new pet companions and their pet parents. I think sometimes we need them more than they need us!
Reviews
George was great! Needed to book something last minute for just a few hours and he was very accommodating. George listened to our needs of low activity due to the heat outdoors and our pup didn’t show any signs of anxiety when we picked her up. Thanks again George!
George is outstanding and responsible! My dog loved him and we really appreciated the way he took care of our old girl. Will be booking again in future!
George is a compassionate, honest and very responsible person that loves animals and people. He has achieved many outstanding goals in his life, including working with animals in a clinical and veterinary setting.
If you’re looking for your furry companion’s new best friend; look no further. This animal whisperer is guaranteed to win over any cat, dog, rodent or primate that resides under your roof. He has tons of experience with animals & worked as a vet tech once upon a time. He has a great eye for detail (noticed a friend’s new puppy had anisocoria minutes after meeting it) and knows better than to give your pet random treats without permission (nobody wants their fur baby fighting off pancreatitis because of some careless pet sitter). Be warned; your sweet little fur baby will be staring longingly out the window as they wait for his return. Don’t book this guy if you’re the jealous type. Book him if you want a trusted caretaker for your furry best friend.

Safety, trust & environment
I live in a queit neighborhood with a small front and backyard (3/4 fenced). I have a quiet, tidy house that would be suitable for any pet.
Home
Information George A. would like to know about your pet
Socialization status. Dietary restrictions. Stereotypic behaviors (excessive teething, licking, barking, pacing, territorial marking). Physical limitations and preexisting medical conditions. Vaccine status (rabies required unless less pet is 3 months or younger). Environmental triggers (e.g. newspaper roll, loud noises, certain genders, other dogs, squirrels, bouncy balls).
A typical day
My quiet neighborhood is very dog friendly. I'm also familiar with a few dog parks around Acadiana but going to those will depend on how well socialized and protected the pet is. My ideal walk would be at Acadiana Park or Lake Martin. Some little dogs might like to ride in a shopping cart at PetSmart. I could pick up some free dog treats at the register on the way out. TV and A/C are also not out of the question when weather permits.
