Committed to service and excellence

Pet care experience

I worked for my brother's dog training business for years, as well as raising and rescuing my own. I enjoy meeting new people and animals, and helping others solve problems.

Gary did a great job!! He had a great connection with my dogs, and when we came back home, they were very well taken care of and happy. We would definitely use him again!

Gary is amazing with animals! He has helped me numerous times with my dog and she absolutely loves him. When you see him around animals, you know he has a passion for them. Gary is very reliable and he will make sure your pet is cared for.

Safety, trust & environment

My assumption is, that I will adhere as closely to your schedule as possible, as my schedule allows it to be so. I will do my upmost to insure that scheduling conflicts don't happen, but life is such, and it happens.

Information Gary M. would like to know about your pet

I'm very aware of various special needs, and I can make accomodations for most all... Learning processes for sure but again, with the help of the family, anything is possible.

A typical day

Yard, play time, fetch, tug, frisbee, rough housing, scuffles, or just letting them do their thing... I like to figure out how people play with and have structured their daily routine. I usually enjoy working a dog through their command routines a few times... In various locations and settings to build trust, responsiveness, and obedience, and when we've established the rules of our game, commence to play.
