A very patient caretaker :)

Pet care experience

The headline says it, my patience and calm is a good environment for all living beings. My dog care experience has grown exponentially, I assist with my girlfriend and her dog fostering (we've successfully fostered and placed 8 dogs these last 18 months), guess who gets to do a TON of the work with troubled or anxious dogs? It's me! And I love it. I even have my own dog from that journey, and Waffles is happy to have your dog over for a slumber party.

Gary and Waffles took great care of Scout while we were on vacation. It was so nice to get updates and photos while we were away and Gary was quick to respond when we texted. Thanks Gary!!!

Gary was kind enough to take my request with only 2 days notice, and on a holiday. I came home to two happy dogs!

Gary was so professional and took great care of our pups! He made sure they got everything they needed even taking them out several times to make sure they actually went potty instead of just getting distracted by smells!

Gary is an amazing host dog sitter! He did a “meet and greet” prior to the booking. He took the time to let our dog sniff him and for her to sniff him. Our dog can be anxious in new surroundings……Gary and his dog, Waffle, made her feel totally at home within 15 minutes! Ringo ( our dog) really seemed to appreciate her stay with them! Gary sent lots of updates. I ended up getting stuck in traffic and was an hour later than the agreed upon pick up time. Gary was JUST an amazing dog host!!!!

Information Gary M. would like to know about your pet

I've dealt with a lot of oddities in dogs and it helps to know what quirks or needs your dog has, just let me know!

A typical day

My dog will be with us for most of the time and he's a very gentle, playful boy with medium to high energy. He loves long jog/walks and we're ready to do that with your dog if they are up for it! After that it's lazy time - dinner, evening couch lounging and potty breaks before bed! We have all size crates if needed, multiple dog beds and energy and patience for all.
