Pet care experience

Loving care of dogs, cat, 🐷 & more

I've taken care of kinds of pets since I was a teenager. I've had pet dogs, cats, turtles, lizards, chameleons, salt water aquariums, my entire life. I have natural body language that usually puts dogs and cats (well not all cats...cats are cats after all ;-)) at ease usually within minutes after meeting. I'm responsible and have less time where I have to be meeting with clients on site which gives me the opportunity to spend more time with your pet which is a win-win for you and your pet. I'm working on a startup and I'm an avid runner that knows most of the parks in the city very well. All questions welcomed of course.

George took great care of our two dogs while we were out of town for the week of Christmas. He stayed at our house, sent frequent updates, and was super friendly, and it was clear the dogs really liked him and were well cared for the whole time. We had zero issues and would absolutely use George again.

George was so great with our fur family! We were gone 12 days and he cared for our 2 cats and 2 dogs in our home. He sent pics and updates frequently. We really appreciated that!. We would hire George again!

George did a great job taking care of my elderly cat, including giving daily medication. He kept me updated with regular photos and videos so I knew she was doing fine, and was well looked after.

George took good care of our dog while we were out of town for a week, he sent us photos and updates on how she was doing and their daily walks. Our pup was happy and healthy upon our return home!

Schedule

I'm currently working on projects and with free lance clients on a case by base basis which gives me more time to spend with your dog. Note that I’ve watched dogs in NYC and lived there for 10 years. So NYC is an option as well. For house sitting closer to Pittsburgh and further than 20 miles away. Has to be on a case by case basis. Length of stay is a factor for example.

Safety, trust & environment

I love playing with dogs and cats but that means very different things to each owner so that will depend on meeting with the owner to discuss what their particular pets like and what makes them comfortable. Have a specific concern or request ? Please let me know and ask about my personalized , artist designed pet video inspirational coffee mugs, calendars and more 🤠👍
