Gaillyn's Doggy Delight

Hi, my name is Gaillyn Pena. I care for small dogs up to 20 pounds. I adore dogs! For nine years, I had a precious Wire Fox Terrier named Maddox. We enjoyed sharing many fun activities together. I live in a beautiful home in Northdale with my husband. I am a Graphic Designer and I work remotely. My schedule allows me the flexibility to care for a dog throughout the day. I have a great neighborhood with sidewalks to take your dog for a walk. With Maddox gone, I have a huge space in my heart to take extra special care of your dog. The only restrictions I have are that your dog is up to date with his/her vaccinations. Your dog is treated for fleas, ticks and heart worm on a regular basis. All dogs need to be successfully housebroken. Please bring your dog clean and bathed with any clean toys, beds and blankets that will make them feel at home.

Gaillyn is a very loving pet sitter. Tyson was quite content and happy at her home.

Gaillyn was great! She was easy to communicate with, provided updates, and Bella was very happy with her. I will definitely be reaching out to have Gaillyn watch Bella again in the future!

Safety, trust & environment

I only care for dogs in my home. I have my home set up for your dog's safety and fun. I keep an eye on their water and food to make sure they are eating and have enough water.

A typical day

I love to walk the dogs that enjoy a nice walk. I also enjoy playing with them in whatever way they like. Such as playing fetch, tug or just cuddling!

16 to 40 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old

I need to know if your dog has any special needs such as medication. Do they have any food allergies? If they are elderly and need to go out for potty breaks more often. Do they have any fears, such as thunderstorms or certain people or animals.
