My gray hair means experience!

Pet care experience

I am a happy, old lady who has cared for animals all her life. I currently have three dogs of my own, a German Shepherd, Great Pyrenees, and a tiny Terrier mix along with a cat, 2 peacocks, 2 donkeys, and 4 horses. I get animals! They get me! Your dogs will love that I respect them and am willing to earn their respect. My horse training experience translates neatly into dog language! As a student of the horse trainer, Carson James, I believe the best training method is the one that works for your fur baby. As such, I do not mind providing gentle training techniques along with care and walks, and I am willing to do it your way! Now that my daughter has started college, not only do I need extra income to pay for it, but my schedule has opened right up. I have a very flexible schedule for the most part, but it is a part-time schedule as I need time to ride the ponies! I did not check it in the profile, but I can do some limited overnight care and even the occasional full-time schedule. I will work with you to provide the care you need. Please note: I am experienced in many different animals and will do farm visits and other pet care, including cats, pet birds, reptiles (non-venomous), rodents, rabbits, horses, goats, sheep, alpacas, lamas, poultry, and limited cattle maintenance.

As I was new to using Rover but referred to them for a vacation and needed someone for 2 dogs to watch.I looked up picked Ms Gale and when she came for our meet and great visit knew she was perfect for the job.Asked questions and listened but best of all the dogs and her connected and were bonding instantly.I received updates daily on visits and times and pictures.we were so relieved how much she cared and took care of them like her own.I highly recommend Ms Gale and will use her in the future with no worries.Thank you Rover and Ms Gale for such a pleasurable experience.

Information Gale M. would like to know about your pet

I love them all! Big or little, short and stout, or tall and lanky! Calm and reserved or full of energy! Your dog sets the pace and tone of our walks with the emphasis on fun and relaxation. On the other hand, if your dog needs to burn off excess energy, we can definitely find many ways to accomplish that as well! I do prefer dogs that have been spayed or neutered. If your dog is intact, then I would need assurances that the males are not aggressive and that the females are not currently in heat.

A typical day

I can take your dog on strolls around your neighborhood or, if you prefer, we will load up and go for a run on my property or at a nearby park. If your dog enjoys water play, we will search for nearby dog friendly lakes or ponds, followed by a quick bath and blow dry once back at your house, providing you have a hose and area to do so. I also have plenty of tennis balls and frisbees for fun games. We can either enjoy this in your backyard or on a long lead (which I provide) at a park.
