George can care for
Availability
As a collegiate student-athlete, my daily routine is built entirely around discipline, strict timelines, and high reliability. I offer pet care on my dedicated light training and recovery days (primarily Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays), meaning my schedule on those days is completely wide open to focus on your pet. Because my lifestyle requires a highly consistent, predictable schedule, I can easily guarantee exact, on-time windows for your pet's feeding, medication, and bathroom breaks with zero last-minute shuffling.

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.
Information George F. would like to know about your pet
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?
A typical day
A typical day with me is perfectly tailored to your pet's individual pace. We will start with a fresh, structured morning walk or backyard play session—whether that’s a steady, energetic walk for active breeds or a slow, gentle "sniffing tour" for an older, senior dog who likes to take their time. The afternoons are focused on high-quality companionship and mental engagement. Because I use my open blocks to rest and recover between training sessions, your pet will have a calm, attentive partner to curl up next to on the couch for hours of belly rubs, classic fetch, or puzzle toys. You will also receive regular photo and text updates after every single milestone of the day!

Collegiate Runner and Golden Owner!
Pet care experience
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!

Reviews
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.
George is a responsible college student that we trusted with dog sitting/house sitting for our week long vacation. We have a hyper, energetic, but sweet golden retriever. He did a great job and we came home to clean home and happy dog. He FaceTimed and texted if he had any questions. As an added bonus, he had picked up all the dog 💩’s in the yard. We would absolutely trust him with our dog and home again and we can’t say that about many people.
