I try to treat your home with as much respect as I'd treat my mother's! And she works hard to keep it looking like a home and garden magazine 🤣

Information Gates M. would like to know about your pet

You usually know best what your dog needs so I'll let you decide what information is important! But I do have a handful of common things: • If we are doing a meet and greet at your residence please let me know where to park and an exact address about an hour before the scheduled meet and greet time; or whenever you are comfortable after we schedule! • I do additional things like watering plants and other Housesitting related things up to running errands! Just let me know any additional things you will need in the initial message if you can. • if you have a pet you would like me to care for that is not a cat or dog, but is more effort than your average plant or fish, please add them to the booking as a cat or dog according to how much care and attention they will need each day! The guide here being; low effort: label them as a cat (any animal that does not need a lot of interaction, but still needs to be fed/watered/cleaned up after. Ex. Insects, some reptiles, rodents, and ambibians.) high effort: label as a dog (maybe needs more interaction or enrichment, or needs significantly more cleaning up after. But most not cat or dog animals can be safely put into the cat pricing category!

A typical day

Drop-ins: this can include feeding/water, medication, walking, playtime/enrichment, or even just pets and hanging out! I also have experience in playing the "I'm totally not looking at you!" game until they are comfortable enough for interaction with both dogs and cats!

Pet care experience

Hi! I've worked and lived with dogs my whole life. I worked for many doggy daycares, two training facilities, and a vet; all while pet sitting on the side I love every dog and their unique personality. I like to joke that i speak dog! If you're the kind of person that says "I know this sounds crazy but i swear we have full conversations!" Then you can be SURE I'll get along with your little human trapped in a four legged body. I have experience with cats, some rodents and scaly critters, as well as horses and goats so there's really nothing you could have that I can't handle! 🐕🦮🐕‍🦺🐩🛷 <-----sled dogs!!! They're a team! Id love to team up with your dog to have the most exciting time ever while you have to be away!!!

Gates is very communicative and awesome with my little guy Cinder. Sends lots of photos and details about each visit. I can definitely tell my doggo loves Gates through all the photos I receive! 🙌🥰

Gates did an AMAZING job with both of my cats. They were so communicative and I can tell my cats really loved their company. Would recommend to anyone in the OKC area who wants their animals in good hands!!!!

Gates usually walks Guillermo twice a week. I had a vacation coming up but my dog was sick so I couldn’t take him to boarding. Luckily, Gates was available to stay with him and even took him to the vet when needed! Gates was great! Spent lots of quality time with my pup! Great communication, and lots of super cute pics!! A lifesaver for sure!
