Even the difficult dogs need love!!
Pet care experience
I'm patient, fit, and love all dogs and cats! I have one dog who is perfectly behaved and well-trained and another who's a good girl, but still pulls on leash and lunges at skateboards. They will be staying at home, but I understand that not all dogs are perfectly behaved and there's no judgement from me. Moreover, not only do I have plenty of experience with well-trained dogs, but I have valuable experience with dogs that aren't perfect. I'm calm, loving, and have the patience and strength to handle a little rebellion along with the awareness to be on the lookout for things that may trigger an excitable dog. To be clear, I am referring to friendly dogs that don't always listen - I am not looking to handle an aggressive or unfriendly dog. I always have my own bags and treats (I make sure any treats are approved by you first).Specialties include a ton of experience with puppies and being very good walking two dogs at once. I also have a ton of experience with cats having had 3 of them in our household growing up. I take great pride in winning over the trust and affection of a shy or timid kitty. I should add that I am vaccinated and boosted. Let's set up a meet-and-greet!
Reviews
Thanks for taking care of our cats. Sorry they were so antisocial! And thanks for cleaning the rug.
Terence is a very good people. He records all many details of the visits and also became frienda not only with my sog but also cat.
Terence is absolutely great with both of my pups. He is very patient and determined to get my little pup - who is quite cautious of the world and - to feel safe and comfortable. He is a good/prompt communicator and I have already booked our next visit!
Terence is the best. We really appreciate his care for our pets.

Right now, I love to do cat visits, but I'm mostly just looking to provide service for those who are looking for a top notch dog walker and cat sitter. My home is puppy-proofed though.
Information Terence G. would like to know about your pet
Most important is how they are passing other dogs. It also helps to know preferred routes and activities, energy level, things that excite your dog and any behavior quirks or issues I should cater to. I also find it helpfull to know past injury history.
A typical day
Every dog is different and I look to get a little background from you about preferred routes and activities first, but almost every dog I've walked loves the UC campus. I love tugging, playing fetch, and just plain running with your dog. I have a good supply of toys and balls!
