Availability

Dogs have always been a part of my life, and I set up my home and outdoor space for my dog(s). I have a doggie door, and for exercise, we go on walks and play with toys outside for stimulation. Every dog has their own personality and requirements/needs. I respect this and do not do a "one size fits all approach".

Safety, trust & environment

I work from home, have a large fenced in yard (with a doggy door for medium to large dogs) and a furbaby of my own (who is friendly and plays with dogs respectfully according to their size and energy). I may crate as needed (if I have to run errands - this should be no more than 2 hours at a time - max). Dogs are allowed on my furniture (I have a cover) and are treated as part of my family. My home is DOG friendly! For pet safety and mine, I require the following: Requirements: 1. New clients just have a Meet & Greet at my home prior to stay. 2. Medical history 3. Veterinarian info 4. Flea/tick prevention 5. Updated vaccinations

Information Gail W. would like to know about your pet

1. Dog Behavior (personality, quirks, stress inducers, etc) 2. Health Issues (medical history and any medications they may be taking) 3. Feeding instruction and dietary restrictions/limitations 4. Exercise needs and safe play (I usually do not have toys/chew bones, etc lying around in order to prevent disagreements between dogs)

A typical day

Enjoy romping and running around in the backyard with my dog, Quinn (who absolutely loves dog and people guests!). Walks around the neighborhood are fun and there are always so many smells! (only one dog will be walked at a time if this is something the dog enjoys). Lots of love and attention are provided and often times, dogs will rest in my office while I conduct business throughout the day. Having a doggie door to the backyard is a blessing!

Your Dog's Home Away From Home

Pet care experience

***As a devoted "Mom" and caregiver of several dogs throughout my life, I deeply understand the importance of finding a trustworthy person to care for your furry family member. The anxiety of leaving your dog with someone who doesn't meet your expectations can be distressing. That's why I take the responsibility of caring for your beloved pet with the utmost seriousness and dedication, ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve. Your peace of mind and your dog's well-being are my top priorities. If you have questions or need clarity, do not hesitate to contact me. ***First-time bookings are accepted pending a "Meet & Greet" in my home prior to stay. *** $20 off first stay/booking (Promo Code: GAILW34917)

I always feel that Scooby Doo is safe and taking very good care of each time we leave him. We get pictures every day. Gayle has a huge backyard which Scooby is free to roam.

Gail and Quinn are fantastic hosts! We received regular updates and pictures and it was so obvious our pup was treated with kindness and care. It's such a relief to be able to leave town and know that our dog will have a great time. Thank you, Gail!
