Happy Pet-town!

Pet care experience

Hi! I'm a dance teacher and freelance contractor who has grown up around dogs/cats and loves them for the awesome creatures they are! I've made friends with pets from all walks of life - even from alleyways in Mexico! I enjoy learning the unique personality of each pet and love the loyalty and joy they bring to human lives. I live in a very friendly and comfortable neighborhood in South Arlington/North Springfield! I have a nice, grassy patch out back and several parks in the area for dogs to play in! I'm an active, flexible, and open individual that can adapt to last-minute changes. I can speak Arabic and Spanish if your pet fancies that :) I choose to use positive reinforcement methods when handling pets as I believe it's both more beneficial and more effective for them. I have many years of experience as a pet-caretaker, over 15 years and counting, including experience with allergies, medications, injuries and special conditions. All of my clients thus far have been happy, satisfied and at ease leaving their pets with me. I believe you will have that same experience and I look forward to working with you!

George was fantastic! He was super chill and my cat Jojo got along with him perfectly. He sent daily picture updates and Jojo was very happy. His place is perfect for cats! Jojo came back home happy and healthy. I would board Jojo with George next time for sure!

George is SO accommodating and even went out of his way to get more dog food for my boy when he ran out! He’s extremely kind and great at communicating! Highly highly recommend!!!
