Safety, trust & environment

I have dog sat in the past and I am very adaptable when it comes to the dynamics of another person’s home. I acknowledge the fact that dogs are typically uneasy when a stranger first enters their home, and I hope to establish and mutual trust between the animals through exposure and activity.

Information Gage R. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know the size and personality of the dog before I sit them. Particularly, if there is any sensitivities within the dog (areas not to touch, sounds, etc.) I am very experienced with small/medium dogs as they are who I’ve spent most of my life with, but I am willing to service any client!

A typical day

I can walk the dogs to the park near my house and I have a decently sized backyard that is great for playing chase in!

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Gage and I am looking for an opportunity to take care of your pups/dogs! At home, I have a 6 year old spunky Yorkie, a 3 year old docile Yorkie, a 9 year old composed Yellow Lab, and a kitten! If you choose to have your dog spend the day/night at my house, I will make sure they will be well fed, given water, and proper outside and play time; if requested, I will also socialize my dogs with yours. The same applies to when I spend the night at your house! I am very friendly and seem to make automatic friends with every dog I meet! I have actively taken care of a variety of pets, so I’m not limited to only dogs! Thank you for considering me to take care of your precious pets!

Gage did a tremendous job with my special needs pups. He communicated with us every several times daily which we appreciated. We will use Gage again and I highly recommend him for your pet sitting needs!

Gage watched our dog and cat in our home while we were away. He did a great job and was very communicative!

Took his time and was thorough about updates. My mind is always at ease having Gage watch the dogs. He spends plenty of time with them during his visits and is consistent about checking in. Highly recommend
