Safety, trust & environment

I have grown up and raised just about every animal you can think of, from rodents to reptiles, birds, cats, dogs and everything in between apart from large cattle and horses, but I love them all the same. I will do my absolute best to ensure that your pet’s wants and needs are met and their daily routines kept uninterrupted in your stead. I do prefer to be introduced to them and shown around their environment prior to taking full care of them so that I may take notes, learn about them, and have a chance to make friends with them before they are left in my care, so that I may ensure they don’t even notice you’re gone. Care for your pets would include ensuring they have access to clean fresh water, food eaten/made available, litterboxes emptied/taken to the bathroom, any medications given, and that ample playtime/pets given for their much needed exercise.

Information Gage S. would like to know about your pet

I need to know if your pet takes any prescribed medications, has any special needs, or history of ailments/episodes so that I can ensure they are safe and comfortable. Additionally I prefer to know the temperament of each pet so that I do not incidentally cross their boundaries or do anything to upset them upon introduction to them. If your pet has a specific routine that you would like followed, I would also ask that you provide it or showcase it to me ahead of time so that I can ensure their day to day is as uninterrupted as possible.

A typical day

I try to tailor my activities for each pet’s specific niche and what they enjoy doing most. So, if your dog loves playing fetch or running around then I’ll happily throw a ball until they’ve burnt off all that pent up energy, or if it’s a cat that loves to chase a fish on a stick, then I’ll go cat-fishing. Whatever your pet loves to do they’ll get to do it, including walks, lots of pets, and gentle cuddles or just calm company for the more laid back.

Pet care experience

Since I was a kid my idol has always been Steve Irwin, and his admiration and respect for all animals, even dressing up as him with my brothers to go out into nature and learn about all different kinds firsthand. I’ve had the pleasure and privilege of raising just about every kind of domestic animal excluding cattle and horses. So, whether it lives on land, swims in the sea, or soars through the skies, I’ve got it covered, furry, scaled, or feathered. I’ve house sat and taken care of pets for friends and family, since I was a teenager, of all different mannerisms from ghostly skittish to aggressively friendly, rest assured me and your pet will get along just fine. I’m the one you hear people referring to when they say “They usually aren’t this friendly with strangers.”

I highly recommend Gage as a pet sitter. He is dependable, responsible, and knowledgeable about animal care. Whether it's feeding, giving basic care, cleaning litter boxes, exercising pets, or simply giving them attention and companionship, he takes every responsibility seriously. He is also physically strong and capable of caring for pets of all sizes and energy levels. What sets him apart is his genuine love for animals and his commitment to their well-being. He treats every pet as if it were his own and pays close attention to their individual needs and personalities. I am confident that pet owners will appreciate the care, reliability, and peace of mind he provides.
