All About The Happy Ruff & Fluffs!

Hello I'm Gary and I was born into my family and raised with a cat from the start for the first 11 years of my life (my older sister crossed the rainbow bridge when she 19) and since then I've had many more cats/kittens starting from 5 months old, I've also had many fish, tree frogs, ferrets and a large family of rats. I've never personally owned dogs "yet", but I did grow up with many friends who've had many dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds. **Correction** I now own an amazing 1 year old Female Pitbull. So I definitely know what it takes and have the confidence to do what is needed to take to care of, love, respect and pay attention to pets of all types and their needs and desires to be happy and healthy and I can't wait to meet yours and help you help them to the best of my abilities!

Safety, trust & environment

I'm partially OCD and extremely attentative to details around me, so I'm able to notice mood changes or the needs of pets based on the clues they put out at times. I also perfer routines and usually stick exactly to them being part of my ocd to be efficient, orderly and for situations to run smoothly so everyone including the pets is happy and comfortable knowing they have my utmost attention and priority

Gary took such great care of my animals. I have 4 cats and 2 dogs so there’s a lot to do and remember. He took the time to get to know all of them and their routines. It makes going away much easier knowing they are being taken care of so well. I will definitely use Gary again and highly recommend him for anyone looking for pet care.

Gary is amazing! Communicates everyday, sends pictures and details about how our dog Nicolau was doing. He was so caring with our dog that I am sure Nicolau will miss him so much. Gary gave medications to Nicolau as explained. The house was super clean and organized when we arrived back home. Thank you so much Gary. We will definitely rebook you many times.

Gary did a wonderful job caring for our Shiba while we were away! He was able to follow our detailed instructions and requests, gave our dog lots of exercise and attention, and kept in very active communication with us sending pictures and videos and updates. We will definitely call on Gary again!

If you’re looking for someone to care for your beloved pets as if they were his own, look no further than Gary! He recently took care of my Russian Blue cat, Zoey, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Not only did Gary ensure Zoey had fresh food and water at all times, but his cleanup was immaculate—everything was spotless when I returned! What truly amazed me, though, was the way Zoey connected with him. She’s usually very shy, but she completely opened up to Gary in a way I’ve rarely seen. His gentle demeanor and natural connection with animals are truly special. He even introduced some herbal care that seemed to relax and soothe her. If you want peace of mind knowing your pets are in the best possible hands, Gary is your go-to. His dedication, professionalism, and genuine love for animals are unmatched. Trust me—your furry friends will thank you!

Gary was amazing with the kitties and so friendly that we felt comfortable leaving them for our vacation. We knew the litter boxes would be scooped and the food and water would be checked. My kids especially loved his detailed updates and the photos he sent! I highly recommend Gary!

Schedule

My days are spent playing and cuddling with my current 15 yr old furball who loves constant attention but she has her independent times enjoying sleeping in the sunshine through the windows. Plus I have 2 new additions being 2 year old sibling kitties and a 1 year old Pitbull. I highly enjoy helping people and I absolutely love being around animals so why not do both and so putting myself out there to possibly help you when in need of some help taking care of your fur babies. I'm almost always available and even on weekends and holidays

Definitely let me know of your pet(s) normal temperament or if there are any special diet and needs or routines so I can try to stick very close to your babies habits so they don't get even more stressed from too big of changes. For a heads up, no worries if your pet is shy, moody and distant not usually liking people as during my life I've been known many times over to suprise the pet owners of those types being I'm super patient and attentive and many times I've ended up quickly making friends with the pets and they've opened up to cuddling and sitting on me which obviously shocks the owners of my accomplishments with time spent with their babies. Let me also know if your baby has any special toys they enjoy at home that they perfer or for the dogs are there any places they like to walk to or hangout at in the area/neighborhood so I know if allowed to frequent them spaces too or to understand why they may try to pull me that direction while on walks
