Meet The Team
Gary Klose (Owner)
I absolutely love dogs! I understand them and treat every dog like family. I'm very dependable, dedicated, and extremely patient. I have worked at the Pittsburgh Zoo for over 13 years and at a dog kennel/daycare for another 5. I Shadowed Andrew, Owner & Trainer, of All Together Better for 2 months before walking my first dog solo. I am well versed in dog behavior and body language. We are ALL Positive with our care. You and your pup will not be disappointed!

Hi, I'm Noah DiAnna and I love animals especially dogs! I've been working with them for 4 years now and I don't see any signs of stopping. It is my goal every time to give you piece of mind while you are away. Whether that be for the day while you are at work or if youre gone across the country for 2 weeks. Your animals will be very well taken care of with me at Gary's Animal Kare ❤️

Sharon McCune
I have been around animals all of my life having been raised on a working beef farm in rural southwestern Wisconsin
surrounded by horses, the aforementioned cows, ducks, geese, chickens, rabbits, cats, dogs, and a goat named Libby.
As a Certified PetTech Instructor, I taught pet CPR & First Aid programs to trainers, pet care professionals, and parents for five years.
I'm a member of Pet Sitters International, have worked with both Dog Gone Walking and Camp Bow Wow, and am currently Momma to four tabbys
and two human sons.
My favorite animal is the giraffe.
Emily Byron
As a devoted animal caretaker with a heart full of love for our four-legged friends, I find immense joy in tending to the needs of dogs and cats. My days are a delightful blend of belly rubs and playful purrs, ensuring every whiskered and wagging tail feels cherished. With a whimsical spirit and a gentle touch, I create a haven of comfort and companionship, where pets can thrive and owners can rest easy knowing their furry family members are in loving hands.

Lexi O'Donnell
My name is Lexi, and I’ve been an animal lover my whole life. I started pet sitting in 2005 and have cared for everything from dogs and cats to fish, bearded dragons — and yes, even a tortoise. I once had a mini zoo of my own, so I’m comfortable with all kinds of pets and personalities. These days I have fewer animals at home, which means I get to focus on giving your pets lots of love, attention, and personalized care while building trust and special bonds with each one.
