Safety, trust & environment

Unfortunately, I cannot offer boarding. However, I am an incredibly respectful guest that will leave your place cleaner than you found it! I am an avid communicator, and if there are any issues that arise, you will know immediately and the problem will be taken care of in a timely and careful manner. You will receive lots of photo and text updates to affirm that your pet is in great hands!

Information Gail O. would like to know about your pet

Any allergies, medical history, how many times a day you would like me to take them out, how much exercise they need, their favorite activities, if they are food aggressive/aggressive with other animals

A typical day

Keeping a dog occupied is a skill I’m quite well versed in! We’ll go on good walks with location depending on the attitude of the dog, play well, cuddle as much as the pup wants, and have lots of quality time together. There is only one circumstance where I would ever leave a pet I’m caring for alone, being a restroom break. I ask always about favorite toys for playtime, and I love to have stimulating conversations and give a buddy a chase if they’re into it! If your pet is active, I love long walks! If you’re in the process of training your pup, I’m well versed in enforcing commands and am very willing to spend time on training behavior. For pets that are acclimated to it, cuddling is essential!

Your Furry Buddy’s New Best Friend!

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Gail, and I am excited to meet you and get to know your furry friend! I have always had an impressive affinity with animals, both in caring for them and bonding with them. I have experience with both puppies and elders alike! I am well versed in easing separation anxiety, and am committed to keeping your pup’s schedule predictable and well aligned with their regular care! I am experienced in deescalation of animal conflict due to my experience with anxious pups. I am quite a physically active person, so if you have a high energy dog who needs long walks, trips to the park, or just someone who can keep up with their sniffing pace, I’m a great candidate for you! I have expertise in handling sickness and long standing health issues in animals. Additionally, I am well versed in training practices and committed to utilizing the commands that owners express to me! I am a charming, playful, and attentive sitter. Additionally, I’m a wonderful house guest! Your plants will be watered, your home will be cleaner than you found it, and I’m always willing to pick up some extra chores/errands needed around the house. If requested, I offer simple grooming services such as bath time. Currently I have flexible availability because I work part time and freelance, so I am willing and able to spend as much time at your home as you need. Miss your pet? Not to worry! I send daily updates and adorable pictures consistently! I can’t wait to hear from you and meet your best pal!
