Pet care experience

I’ll take care of your best friend!

I’ve been taking care of animals all my life; cats, dogs and horses. I moved to Tucson six years ago from Ohio. I drove across the country with 7 cats and a parrot, staying in motor court type motels where I could have 7 cat crates and a bird cage in the room. What an experience! Since I’ve been here, six of my cats have died; they ranged in age from 17 to 21. I’ve had lots of experience with seniors and senior related health issues. I am happy to administer medication and fluids if needed.

Gail was amazing with our girls. I was super nervous as this was our first time ever leaving them with someone for an extended period of time. They can be very picky when it comes to other people, dogs, water, where they sleep….everything. Gail was incredibly accommodating for their routine, diet, water preference…everything. Gail was especially receptive to my girls’ needs; knowing how to provide them space in places that they gravitated toward and also providing the opportunity to snuggle as needed. She also kept me updated on them as they transitioned from an unfamiliar environment to a place that was predictable, and I was super happy to see that they eventually adapted to the new space over time. It’s no coincidence that Gail is a star sitter with many repeat clients (including me now)!

Couldn't ask for a better dog sitter. Gail took such good care of my little Luca while I was away. I'd give 10 stars if I could.

Gail is always so great with Annie. It is also really fun meeting all the other dogs at the house! And I can't forget about Jimmy. So thrilled every time Gail is able to watch my dog.

Left my new puppy with Gail. She sent pictures and took care of my baby. Puppies are a lot of work but Gail seemed happy to do it.

I was afraid my dog would have separation anxiety and was nervous leaving her, but Gail is amazing! My dog didn't even need her anxiety meds! I got daily updates and pictures of my dog, Huney. I will definitely be using Gail again wherever I go on vacation! Thank you, Gail!

Schedule

I am retired now and things are pretty quiet around here, so your furry friends would be a most welcome addition. Plenty of time for attention and play. My kids are Lacey, a rescued Dachshund, Newtie, a 13 year old Cincinnatiian and Jimmy, a 35 year old Amazon parrot. Newtie (the superior) barely acknowledges other animals, Jimmy, true to his Amazon nature, is forever stuck in the terrible twos stage of life and Lacey, who is laid back and loves making new friends.

Safety, trust & environment

My house is small, but very comfortable. My property is surrounded by a 6 foot privacy fence; It’s very safe. I also have a small pet door in the kitchen connecting to a secure screened-in porch for their enjoyment.
