PETS ARE FAMILY! I will do my best to work around each client's needs. Regarding overnight stays: ****Each client has different needs, but here is what one could generally expect for overnight stays: an 8-hour overnight stay, dinner, 40-minute dog walk <depending on each 🐕 dog's overnight potty needs>, playtime, breakfast, another 40-minute walk, then a 40-minute midday or late afternoon walk. It also includes light/medium housekeeping duties. And of course, as much attention as s/he wants! 🐕🐾🐶 Please let me know about parking situations. ***Parking is not included in my fees (this statement of course only applies if complimentary parking or non-metered street are not available). ***Depending on each animal and pet parent(s)' situation, my fees are negotiable.

Home
Information Gail G. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know the personality and temperment of your animal(s), the type of foods they eat and what they are allowed/not allowed to eat/play with. I also expect emergency contacts, e.g., veterinarian, and written information regarding any types of allergies, phobias, etc. your pet may have. I'm happy with all kinds of animals.
A typical day
Depending on your animal(s)' needs and desires, I will give them as much affection as they like, brush, play, hang out with them, and if you have a dog, take them on nice walks and with your written permission, on car rides. I always use two leashes (preferably a harness), have my charged phone and emergency contacts with me at all times, and never take your pet off the leash when outside. Regarding safety reasons for ALL involved, I do not allow others to hold your pet's leash, pet your dog, or allow your dog to play with other animals while in my care unless prior arrangements in writing have been made.

Pet care experience
💐 Spring is here! $50 off total fee for past clients (includes light to medium house cleaning) if you book 5 or more nights (April 1, 2026 - June 21, 2026). $25 off total fee for new clients if you book 3 or more days. (April 1, 2026 - June 21, 2026) $20 off total fees for NEW clients (includes light to medium housekeeping), PLUS $20 Rover discount if you use this code: https://www.rover.com/sit/gailg96208 (February 26 - March 20, 2026) Family, friends and acquaintances have been relying on me to care for their animals (and plants) when they are out of town, for they know that I will love and take care of them like they are mine. A bit about me: I get along quite well with children and animals. :) I'm also a city girl - born and raised - and am very careful when it comes to home safety/protection (e.g., locking doors, closing windows, asking for emergency contacts, watching out for suspicious people, checking mail/packages, etc.). I also believe in being discreet and maintaining clean, comfortable surroundings and will help with light/medium housekeeping duties. What I provide for your pet(s): a loving, protective, nurturing, respectful, caring, responsible, fun environment. I am involved in animal rescue, too, so I have lots of experience with animals of all ages including cats, dogs, birds, rabbits, hamsters, mice, rats, lizards (geckos, bearded dragons), and will petsit snakes, too, but I will not feed them live mammals. Thank you! References available.
Reviews
Thank you Gail for loving my pup like I do !
Gail is the best and my pup coco loves her!
Gail went above and beyond for us and our kitties!
Gail was great with Gizmo! She was very communicative, sending regular updates and photos so we always knew what Gizmo was up to. She was very caring and we felt comfortable leaving Gizmo in her care. She left the house in better condition than when we left. And we returned to a very happy pup!
