Highlights
Pet care experience
Years of Loving, Expert Pet Care
I’ve been devoted to animal care for years—living solo with my rescue cat Bridget, who thrived to the age of 21, and raising my current companion Kody since 2017. I’ve been called a dog whisperer by friends and clients alike, and I get along effortlessly with dogs and cats of every temperament. Whether you have a regal Doberman or a playful Egyptian Mau kitten, I bring calm intuition, patience, and genuine affection. Your pets will feel understood—and adored.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
George was amazing with my pup. My 5-lb Yorkie is quite anxious, but seemed at ease with George from drop off. I received plenty of pics and updates. My dog was quite relaxed at pickup, and George worked with me as I was a bit early for my pickup window. Would highly recommend - George really does seem like a "dog whisperer". 5 stars!
George was a wonderful host for Willow over Thanksgiving. He was very warm and considerate, responsive to questions, and accommodating. We would definitely have Willow back again!
George was great. He updated me with photos throughout the weekend and really enjoyed watching my dog. I would recommend him to anyone and would rebook him again :)
George is incredible! My dog Chilly is known for being very standoffish—she warms up to almost no one. But with George, it was different from the start. She completely melted for him, which says everything you need to know about the kind of energy and care he brings to animals. George is not just a dog sitter; he truly loves animals. He treated Chilly with patience, kindness, and so much attention. I never once worried while she was with him because I could see how much he genuinely cares. If you’re looking for someone who is trustworthy, compassionate, and has a natural connection with animals, George is the person. Chilly and I both can’t recommend him enough!
George is excellent with both cats & dogs. I have seen both shy & cranky animals gravitate towards him. He is extremely gentle and caring with all animals. And very doting. Sometimes I joke that he spoils my dog more than I do! He genuinely enjoys walking & playing with dogs. And gives lots of cuddles. I never worry when my dog is in his care. He treats her like royalty. And she adores him.

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Every pet in my care is treated with unwavering attention and a calm, watchful presence. I create an environment where safety comes first—doors secured, spaces checked, and routines designed to prevent stress or escape. I read body language carefully, respond gently yet quickly, and make sure every animal feels protected, seen, and at peace in my care.

A typical day
Your pet and I will move through the day like old friends on a secret adventure. We’ll wander sunlit rooms together, pause for gentle brushing sessions, and stretch out on soft rugs while I speak to them in a calm, soothing rhythm. If they crave play, we’ll dart after feather toys, roll a ball down the hall, or explore safe outdoor sights from behind the glass—maybe even toss a few walnuts to invite woodland visitors, giving them a living painting to watch. Every moment becomes a game, a comfort, a quiet enchantment where they feel deeply loved and completely alive.
