Highlights
Pet care experience
Collegiate Runner and Golden Owner!
Hi, I’m George! As a collegiate cross country and track runner, discipline, structure, and reliability are built into my daily routine. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk or your cat just wants a calm companion to sit with on a recovery day, I am fully equipped to give them the best care possible. My Pet Care Experience: Golden Retriever Owner: I raised and care for my own 6-year-old Golden Retriever, so I am highly experienced with feeding routines, basic training reinforcement, and heavy shedding! Active & Fit: Need a sitter who won't tire out? I can easily match the energy levels of active breeds, ensuring they get thorough, attentive exercise. Reliable Schedule: Because my training block requires a strict schedule, my daily timeline is highly predictable. I will never flake on your pet's potty breaks or meals. I am offering dedicated pet care right here in the Shoreline area this summer while I balance my academic and athletic goals. I treat every animal with the exact same love and safety precautions I give my own dog. I look forward to giving you total peace of mind!

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Safety and peace of mind are my absolute top priorities when managing someone else's home and pet. Having raised and cared for my own 4-year-old Golden Retriever, I understand how critical a secure, stress-free environment is. In your home, I strictly follow all security preferences, double-check that gates and doors are completely locked, and treat your property with total respect. On walks or drop-ins, your dog stays securely on a standard 6-foot lead, and I practice strict situational awareness—avoiding random dog-on-dog interactions on the sidewalk and keeping a close eye out for local triggers like squirrels or cars to ensure 100% control at all times.
Ratings and reviews
George was awesome as both a dog and house sitter while we were away for the weekend. He communicated well, kept our house tidy, and made sure our pup Lucy was well cared for. We returned home to a happy dog and it was clear he followed her routines. Would definitely recommend George!
George was great with our dog and very responsive! Would have him watch him again.
George was easy to work with and great with our pup Lucy! Will definitely be booking again.
George took great care of our two dogs while we were away on a trip. He is very responsive and sent lots of updates. We really appreciated the flexibility in his schedule that allowed him to check in often. We came home to a couple of happy guys! We will be booking with him again on our next trip.
George has been an absolute gem! He’s been walking my dog Mia regularly, and I couldn’t be happier with the care and attention he provides. Mia adores him—and that says a lot, because she’s usually picky about people! George is punctual, communicative, and clearly loves dogs. I always feel confident knowing Mia is in good hands. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and kind dog walker.
We had George watch our dog a few times so far this summer. He really cared for him during the day and at night making sure he was safe and taken care of. We felt he was very trustworthy and would hire him again to watch our energetic dog anytime.
Calendar and availability
Schedule
As a collegiate student-athlete, my life runs on an incredibly disciplined, structured routine, which means I treat your pet's schedule with the highest level of reliability. Because my daily training hours are highly flexible, my calendar is completely open 7 days a week. I easily structure my daily runs and workouts around your pet’s specific needs, ensuring they get their walks, feeding times, and attention exactly when they are used to them. Whether you need consistent Monday–Friday coverage while you're at work or overnight care, I can easily adapt to your timeline.

- To make sure I can provide the absolute safest, highest-quality care, please share a few quick details during our initial message or meet-and-greet: Leash Etiquette: Does your dog pull, have any reactivity to other dogs or bicycles, or use a specific harness/collar setup? Potty Routine & Comfort: How long can your pet comfortably wait between bathroom breaks, and do they experience any separation anxiety when left alone? Diet & Health: Are there strict feeding measurements, allergy restrictions, or specific rules for giving them oral treats/medications? Hiding Spots (For Cats): If I am stopping by for a cat drop-in, where are their favorite safe hiding spots so I can quietly lay eyes on them and make sure they are okay?
