Experienced sitter in North Prov

Pet care experience

Each pet has their own personality and style and I adapt to what your pets need and want. If they want cuddles, they get cuddles. If they want space, they get space. It's all about your precious pets needs for me. I provide a caring, responsible, safe enviroment and professional services. I work from home full time, and in my spare time I enjoy taking care of other people's pups, cats, and critters me. My full time, at home availability allows for all the attention that your furry family member requires. You may relax and rest assured that your loved ones needs are being met by a true animal lover with a lifetime of dog and pet ownership, and 6 years professional pet sitting experience. My home is hardwood/tile which makes for easy cleanup, as well as completely puppy proof. I have several large rooms, as well as my furbaby Amigo's "playroom", with plenty of space to board several dogs at once. If your pups are only comfortable with their own siblings, or people friendly but not dog friendly I happily provide solo accomodations. I have a large yard that is partially fenced in with dog leads that run the length of the area. I live across from a beautiful multi acre green space and am a short walk from an enclosed dog park. I hope to have the opportunity to meet you and your special friend soon!

Gary is our regular sitter, he loves our baby Luna & she loves to spend time with him & his pup Amigo. When we travel we are always comfortable knowing she is being looked after by Gary. He treats her like shes his own pup & she we know that when she stays she is safe & being loved & cared for.

Gary is our go to dog sitter, he has been watching our Luna for some time now, and she always comes back home happy & well cared for. Happy to say that we can go away and know our little girl is with someone we can trust. Gary takes great care of our Luna, and she loves him & his pup Amigo. We highly recommend Gary for all your Rover needs.

We are so happy to have found Gary! Our dog Tucker had a great time staying with Gary for a week while we were on vacation. We had recently found out that Tucker was diabetic, so I was a little nervous leaving him with a new person and getting his twice a day insulin shots. But everything went great and I really appreciated the daily updates from Gary and his quick responses through all out communications. Tucker will definitely be back again!

Safety, trust & environment

I have been told by my clients that I am a "dog whisperer", and have a calming presence. I am very loving, affectionate, laid back and patient with the pets I take care of. They always end up sleeping in my bed😀. I have a partially fenced-in yard, and the back yard is quite large. When we are outdoors I never let pups off of their leashes, unless they are on one of my secure leads. I have a wonderful, loving hound named Amigo, who I rescued in 2/21. He is 4 years old, sweet as can be, and absolutely loves the friends he makes having guests Rover stay over.

Information Gary M. would like to know about your pet

I'm comfortable and experienced with cats, puppies, older dogs, geriatric dogs, dogs with special needs, and dogs who require medicine or special attention and care. Your senior or disabled pet will not be left alone while they stay with me. Feeding, supplements, and any meds, as well any particular instructions you think I should know about your furry friend will be followed to the letter, and I will love and protect your babies as I would my own!

A typical day

Luckily my dog Amigo likes to go out every hour, so your pup will be getting plenty of walks throughout day. I have my house setup where your pup has full access, and are allowed on the furniture. Amigos a great companion to play with, and I am proficient in the art of "doggy massage"?. I love cuddling with all of the pups on my bed when they are wiped out from playing.
