Reliable Sitter, Animal Lover

Pet care experience

I'm a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels including seniors and high energy breeds. I have a gentle, patient approach and understand dog body language well. I’m also the proud owner of a well trained golden retriever, so I know how to manage play, feeding, and rest routines. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for.

German was great with my dog Lydia! He sent frequent updates and was very communicative. I will definitely be returning as a repeat client. Highly recommend 👍👍

German makes leaving your dog way less stressful. He’s attentive, communicates well, and my dog is always excited to see him. You can tell he genuinely enjoys spending time with the dogs he watches.

German’s the type of sitter who treats your dog like it’s his own. My pup came back happy, tired, and probably a little spoiled. Super reliable, keeps me updated, and actually cares about the dogs he watches. Couldn’t ask for better.

I had a last-minute work trip and German seriously saved me. I dropped my dog off the same day for boarding and he handled it like a pro. My dog’s kinda anxious in new places, but German made him feel at home quick. Sent me pics of him napping on the couch and playing like he owned the place. When I picked him up, he didn’t even want to leave.

Safety, trust & environment

I prioritize each pet’s safety and comfort whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours. I follow any feeding, medication, and walk routines closely and take time to understand each pet’s personality and needs. In my home, pets have a calm, secure environment with plenty of space to relax or play. I keep a close eye on interactions and make sure pets are never left unsupervised in unfamiliar situations.
