Pet care experience

Experienced FT Sitter in NO PVD🐕

Hello there,I am a full time, professional pet sitter located in North Providence. I have my own home, the lower level is dedicated to pup sitting. I provide a caring, responsible, safe enviroment for your special friend. I have been a full time pet sitter for 6 yeara now & I have had countless wonderful experiences, from meeting amazing people, to having the privilege of bonding with so many beautiful dogs. I am lucky in the fact that I am unofficial Uncle to many special pups! I board & hold daycare sessions at my home. I am fortunate to have some regulars who come for doggy day care, they're "vetted", dog friendly, and your pup(s) is welcome to come & join the fun. Being at home full time with the pups allows me to provide all the attention & care that your furry family member requires & deserves. 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. If you are comfortable with your dog taking a 7 minute ride I also have access to my father massive, fully enclosed yard. If you have any questions please contact me, I look forward to meeting you and your special friend soon!

Gary is hands down the best sitter on Rover. My pup son Aiden LOVES him and my family loves him too. Gary sends cute photos throughout the day and he checks in with us daily to let us know how things are going. He has a huge yard for the pups to play in and his house is spacious and clean. He comes highly recommended and he will forever be my go to person when I need a sitter.

Doggy Day Care • Sep 04, 2026

Gary was absolutely amazing with our senior disabled dog and his very energetic little brother. They came home calm and tired. His frequent updates on their first stay put our mind at ease after multiple other places couldn't care for our older dog, we feel safe leaving him for the first time since his spinal injury.

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 & 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 6 years old, sweet as can be, and absolutely loves the friends he makes having guests Rover stay over. I have a lot of experience with senior dogs, as some of my older clients are starting to enter advanced age. I care for two dogs with diabetes, I am comfortable administration their/any meds. I have several dogs with special needs, if your pup has a condition their routine will be followed precisely. I am also certified in canine/feline first aid.

Pets

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. I have a large reinforced enclosed play pen in my back yard where we will sometimes sit, the dogs are never left alone or unsupervised however. If you are comfortable with your dog taking a 7 minute ride I also have access to my father massive, fully enclosed yard where the dogs can run safely to their hearts content 🐕.

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.

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!
