5-star reviews on TrustedHousesitters + Rover
Hey! My name is George and I've worked as a firefighter/paramedic for nearly ten years and have recently started a media/marketing agency working remotely around the world. Expect some high-quality, daily pictures of your pet during my stay! I've always been interested in fitness and health, especially anything that gets me outdoors in nature. I'm passionate about travel, new experiences, and doing good in this world. I have a street dog named Mustafa who currently lives in Mexico.
My last dog, a black labrador named Moose, passed a few years ago, so I am looking to fill that void in my heart by pet sitting. I have worked as a firefighter for nearly 10 years and have been a trusted public servant dedicated to doing good. I love to travel, and Hero Home + Pet Care makes that a reality — I've had the opportunity to petsit all around the world!
Since I was a child, I have always loved animals and grew up with 6 pets. Having that responsibility of caring for another living being helped shape who I am today. I have been a pet sitter for over 20 years now, and have really enjoyed every experience, as I feel I've learned something new every time.

"George took great care of our kitty and our home. He had good communication and we appreciated his flexibility around coming and going times. Our cat often doesn't eat for a day or two when we leave, but he was so happy with George he ate normally right away. And our place was spotless when we returned. We'd have George back any time."
"George stayed at our house with our dog, Sadie, for 9 days, our longest sit yet. He was a fantastic house-sitter! Communication was clear and smooth. He was willing to meet both on FaceTime and in person before the sit, which helped with peace of mind before our vacation. He was prompt and reliable. He communicated appropriately with pictures of Sadie daily. We returned to a happy, healthy dog and a very clean house. I highly recommend George as a trusted sitter!"
"I am so grateful for George. He took great care of Penny while I was away. I received the perfect amount of updates and cute photos of her. When I returned, my home looked exactly as I left it, which I really appreciate. Unfortunately, I couldn't be home to welcome George, but he was very self sufficient and was able to access my home and get Penny to warm up to him pretty quickly without me. I hope to have George back someday."
"George was awesome with woody and the house. He made sure to read the welcome guide and asked questions about how to take care of the house and woody. The house was spotless when we got back and woody looked very well cared for, and he texted updates regularly."
"George was very reliable. He came over to meet us and Banana before the sit began. He was very communicative and responsive. He sent lots of good photo updates. We highly recommend him!"
"George took great care of our two dogs and of our house as well. He was easy to reach, easy to work with, and very responsive. Would be happy to have him back for another pet sit in the future."
"George was amazing! Very professional, trustworthy, flexible and friendly. He gave us daily updates of Bunker including pictures and videos that reassured us Bunker was in great hands. Thank you so much George! 100% recommend & will book again in the future!"
"George is an excellent house sitter and pet caregiver. He is very responsive and communicates in a timely manner, which always gave me peace of mind while I was away. He is also extremely respectful of my home. I always come back to a clean and well kept space. Most importantly, my dog Nora absolutely loves him. George clearly cares and takes the time to make sure Nora feels comfortable, safe, and happy."
