Information Gail H. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs, preferences or medical concerns you need me to give special attention to, and I’ll be happy to oblige. I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, so I’m used to having to give oral meds, cleaning ears/ear drops, paw salve/bandages, etc etc

Doting on your fur babies…🐶🐱

Pet care experience

Had both dogs and cats growing up… both in my childhood & throughout my adulthood. My current place doesn’t allow pets…so, thought I’d get my “fix” in this way.😊 I’d love to help out and give your pets some attention and some good walks/attention while you can’t…💕 Having had pets so many years in the past, I’m used to giving them meds, ear drops and all the “high maintenance” attention our pets sometimes need, as well as wearing them out a bit for you with play and/or walks. Feel free to reach out…

Gail did such a great job watching our cat Fiona while we were out of town. Fiona can be a bit shy at first but she warmed up to Gail right away and looked forward to her visits. We definitely recommend Gail!

Gail took wonderful care of my cats! I’m an anxious traveler so knowing my babies are well taken care of gives such peace of mind! She made sure to update frequently and send tons of pics🥰
