Gus

Gus has a passion for emotional support and a specialized "degree" in wagging tails. As a friendly and hypoallergenic member of the team, Gus is here to provide a non-judgmental, calming presence for clients who find comfort in the company of a furry friend. His role is to provide a calming presence, offer comfort during difficult conversations, and help create a grounded environment for our work together. 

Whether he’s resting at your feet during a difficult conversation or offering a gentle greeting at the door, Gus’s primary role is to help you feel grounded and safe. When he’s "off the clock," Gus enjoys chasing tennis balls, perfecting his nap game, and going for long walks.
