HOUSE/XL FENCED YARD/HOME FULL TIME

Pet care experience

I am a HUGE dog lover! I'm extremely honest, trustworthy, dependable, & reliable. My wife & I have been married for over 20 years & I'm a stay-at-home dad with 3 kids (ages 18, 20 & 22). I have a lot of energy, so I love playing with dogs & taking them on long walks or frequent short strolls, depending upon the dog. I will shower your dog(s) with lots of love, attention, & affection, especially now that my kids are "too cool" to hang out with me! I have a large, safe, fenced-in backyard so there is plenty of room for dogs to run around & play. I'm very flexible & I'm available whenever & as often as you may need. I can also accommodate any kind of specialty care your dog(s) may need such as dispensing medications (oral or injection), custom feeding schedules or dietary requirements, exercise regimes, etc. Lastly, I want to share one of my favorite quotes: "Dogs do speak, but only to those who know how to listen.”– Orhan Pamuk (author). When it comes to dogs, my special gift is that I actually DO know how to listen!! I look forward to meeting you & your 4 legged friend(s) soon! 🐶 🐕‍🦺 🦮 🐕 🐩

Louis was fantastic!! You can tell he really cares about others' pups and keeping them happy 😊 His home layout is definitely dog-safe and they have plenty of room to play and run outside. I'd definitely recommend him for dog sitting!

Safety, trust & environment

My doggy clients are loved & cared for as if they were one of our own. They are involved in our lives while they are staying with us & we want them to feel completely at home by snuggling with us on the couch, sleeping on the bed if that's what they are used to (my kid's beds too), enjoying one of our many doggy beds, etc. Also, dogs are never left alone or unattended while in my care.

Information Louis G. would like to know about your pet

While we've typically already had a Meet & Greet, it's always good for me to know as much as possible about your dog before coming to stay with me. It's important to know if your dog exhibits any aggression towards other dogs, what their feeding schedule entails, any particular likes/dislikes they may have, any fears such as storms, etc. Any insight you can share about your pup will come in handy & will ensure a wonderful, easy, & comfortable stay for your pup!

A typical day

I love taking long or frequent short walks, depending upon the dog, in the neighborhood or to the various parks within walking distance from my house. I enjoy playing with dogs (throwing frisbee, playing fetch with a ball, tug-of-war with a toy) & running around in the yard with them. If your dog needs exercise or to burn off some energy, I'm your man! I can also just spend quality time rubbing their belly or scratching them behind the ears if your dog just wants to cuddle & be loved. Whatever your dog needs, I can provide it.
