Pet care experience

To err is human, forgive is canine

All of my life growing up and as an adult, I have owned dogs. My latest, a Chihuahua of 14 years, passed a few years ago and has not been replaced. I have tried to fill that void by fostering dogs from multiple shelters but realized I would like to assist individuals who have real needs for these special members of their family. I know how careful I would be in selecting a caretaker of my precious dogs and want to assure you that I will love and care for your four-legged family member with the same love and devotion that you would if you were present to do so. I also understand that the relationship between you, your dog and I has to be one that all feel comfortable with. Therefore, a meet and greet to satisfy all involved is required for any bookings. Thanks for considering me and I look forward to loving your dog.

Alina's first time at Gary's was very welcoming. I felt at ease when I left her, knowing she was in good hands. I could tell Alina liked being there by the way she acted. We will definitely book again!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced backyard but do not let the pups out alone. I always go out with them every two hours for fresh air, sunshine, play, and potty breaks.

A typical day

What does your dog like to do? Play fetch, get belly rubs, snuggle up next to you on the couch? Please share your dogs' likes and dislikes so I can make them as comfortable as possible. Where do they sleep at night? Their bed in your room, crate, your bed? What time do they typically rise in the morning and retire in the evening? My desire is for your pups' routine to be as much as possible just like home.

I want your pup to feel at home in my home as much as possible during their stay. Please feel free to bring not only their food but any treats. toys, blankets, beds, crates, etc. that will make them feel at home and relaxed. Also, please fill out and bring to my attention, their online profile with all pertinent information, i.e., meds, special diets, special needs, etc.
