Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard and a dog husky mix of my own but she is extremely friendly even towards puppies, playful, or dogs that can be aggressive sometimes. I also have a garage in my backyard thats been converted to a room for me and the dogs I watch overnight or on weekends for friends or family. Aside from somewhere comfortable to sleep I make sure the dogs go on walks, get play time in the yard, and are hydrated/fed. I also have an excessive amount of toys for each dog to choose from during their stay along with a large crate in the yard that can also be moved into the back room for dogs that need to be crated.

Information Gaius J. would like to know about your pet

Ahead of time please let me know if your dog is house trained, and how they usually do around other dogs and people they haven’t met before. This helps me make sure they’re comfortable and have the best experience possible.

A typical day

I have an energetic dog who loves to play and keep other dogs company. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, playing fetch or tug-of-war, and making sure they get plenty of exercise. I also take time to practice basic commands to help reinforce good behavior when around other dogs.

Pet care experience

I’ve been helping take care of dogs since I was in high school and want to help more people around my neighborhood and other communities with dog care. I’ve helped with a handful of different types of dogs and aside from dog care love helping out however I can.

Gaius does very well with animals. He does everything in his power to understand and do what is best for all animals he cares for. He is amazing when it comes to schedules and tasks that are important. I definitely recommend him if you plan to leave your dog with anyone.

Gaius is a an amazing pet owner who takes his time and patience with all animals, not just his own. He is responsible and understanding of each dog’s personality and needs. His calm demeanor and patient nature tend to make dogs follow his lead and for those who tend to require a little extra patience- he gives it to them without hesitation. People who know Gaius, know that their pets are treated like a family member when being left with him and they are being left in the best hands so they have no worries when leaving them in Gaius’s care. As I said- he’s great with tending to each ones individual personality and needs and one is guaranteed to be happy with the service Gaius provides.
