Lifetime dog-sitter and pet-lover

Pet care experience

I have been caring for dogs and cats for friends, family and neighbors since I was a child. I absolutely love animals and the joy they bring to a household. I'm currently only employed part-time, so I have a lot of free time to spend with dogs. What I love about dogs is how social they are – I enjoy taking them for walks, playing at the house or even bringing them along to restaurants or parks when possible. I've cared for every type of dog, from small dogs like chihuahuas and dachshunds to larger dogs such as labs, Kerry Blue Terriers and Doberman Pinschers. I'm not nervous around dogs and I like to talk and interact with them, which quickly puts them at ease. I've met many different types of dog owners, so I'm used to adjusting my dog-sitting habits to fit their needs (e.g. puppies that need lots of potty breaks and exercise or old dogs that can't handle long walks). The dogs I've owned have been members of the family, and I expect to treat any dogs I watch with the same care and affection I would give my own pet.

Graham seemed like a really nice guy and was honest about him having to go through a move out of his apartment. He reassured me that as long as I was okay with Luigi being transported during the move that he would love to watch him. We went to drop off our dog and we should have known right then that he wasn't the right person to watch our dog. His apartment had over 10 people in there with sleeping bags on the ground and it was an mess. Regardless of him moving out, that was no place for someone's dog to be watched. Not having any other options, we decided to trust Graham and leave our puppy with him. We were 100% honest about our dog and that he might cry because he's a puppy. We received a message late the night after we dropped him off saying that he could no longer care for our dog because he wouldn't stop whining. He said it was too much and he felt bad bringing the dog to his new address because his mom has work. He expected us to pick our dog up at 11 at night when he knew we were out of town. Luckily we were able to get my boyfriend back to the building from where we were staying and get him to a new sitter. It was beyond an inconvenience and very disappointing. Especially expecting us to wait for him to bring the dog til 11 at night. Please make sure he actually understands and accepts full responsibility for the inconvenience a dog brings.

Graham is an awesome pet sitter in every respect! He loves my dog and spoils him, taking very good care of him to the point that when I get home am almost certain he could care less that I was gone :). On top of that, Graham is great with the house and takes very good care of things. In Short, he's great with animals, conscientious and trust worthy and just an all around great guy, You can't go wrong having him watch your furry kids!

Graham has house/dog sat my two older dogs on multiple occasions over the last 2.5 years. Having two older dogs that need more attention can make it difficult to leave town without being a nervous wreck, but I always feel comfortable when Graham is available. As a person Graham is a very calm, patient and responsible; as an animal caretaker he is very caring and attentive. My dogs were always happy and healthy when we came home - like they hadn't even missed us a bit! Your pets are in good hands when choosing Graham!

Graham has done a GREAT job watching my pets on several occasions! He is responsible and completely trustworthy. Both animals were happy but calm when we came home. ...MUCH better than boarding them for several days!

Information Graham B. would like to know about your pet

I love every breed of dog but prefer social dogs that like people. I don't mind if the dog does not get along with other dogs, I will just need to know beforehand to make sure I adjust my care to reflect that.

A typical day

I like going to the park, playing fetch and games like tug-of-war. I like taking dogs for rides in the car or to a dog-friendly restaurant, if they are up for it. I also don't mind a dog that likes being a couch potato, as I'm a huge TV fan and enjoy cuddling with pets while watching.
