I ADORE animals of all kinds!
Pet care experience
I grew up with dogs of all kinds throughout my entire childhood. Once my career was underway, I rescued a Rhodesian Ridgeback (Thabo) when he was 5 years old. He was 140 lbs and had a rough start in life but I spoiled him rotten until he passed away in 2011. Three months later, I adopted another Ridgeback (Masada, age 5) and we moved from Dallas to Orange County in 2013. When he passed away in 2016, I decided to honor them by fostering dogs. I've since looked after the most wonderful (and some challenging) dogs and it's clear that all they need is love, respect and true kindness. I love all animals, not just dogs. They really do make the world a better place!

I run a 501c3 dog rescue and Kerry is one of our most experienced fosters. We often send our dogs with medical or behavioral issues to her because we know that she is responsible, communicative and gives constant updates. In one incident she fostered a dog for us with severe behavioral issues for over a year. He was not an easy case and this just proves her love and dedication with animals. I am very particular about my own pets and Kerry is one of the few people I would trust with them. If you are looking for an experienced sitter or walker, look no further!
Kerry is the most incredible pet sitter and dog walker!! She has stayed at my house with my 4 dogs countless times and I trust her whole heartedly and completely. They all get SO excited to see her when she comes over. I have a 13 year old Weimaraner, a 17 year old Rat Terrier, a 9 year old Miniature Poodle and a 3 year old Rat Terrier. They are different ages, different sizes and all have different needs with regards to food, exercise and medications, and Kerry had them all handled from day one. She is an animal lover through and through and I couldn't recommend her more highly to walk your dog/s or pet sit at your home.
I have had Kerry dog sit Ella on many occasions. She is my “go to” doggy mommy. I never worry for one minute if she’s being cared for properly. I think she’s even more attentive to Ella than me and that’s saying a lot. Always uses good judgment regarding everything. Takes Ella on walks and gives her plenty of love and cuddles. I can’t think of anyone more qualified to care for your pet than Kerry. She’s the best.
I met Kerry several years ago when she moved to CA from TX. Once she unpacked the first thing she did was reach out to our dog rescue group to volunteer and boy, are we grateful she did! Kerry is one of our top, top foster moms. She's so great with all dogs (even the most neurotic and persnickety). When she fosters a dog for us we never have to worry and that's so rare. Kerry fostered one of our most challenging dogs - she had him for well over a year - and we finally found him his Forever Home. Kerry is committed, thorough, thoughtful, kind and reliable. There are so few people I would trust my own dogs to - Kerry is one of those people.
About Kerry G.
Skills
Information Kerry G. would like to know about your pet
No breed preference. I would like to know if they have issues (growling, lunging, etc.) meeting people or other dogs on walks.
A typical day
We will walk in the neighborhood and nearby parks. Unfortunately our local neighborhoods do not allow dogs off-leash so we can't play ball unless the owner has a yard.
