Information Gayl H. would like to know about your pet

I would like a calmer dog not a high energy dog. I must do a Meet and Greet prior to any booking. I have a mini Goldendoodle and watch my young grandchildren so I need a mild mannered dog. Please no Pit Bulls, aggressive or hyper active dogs. All dogs need to be potty trained and sleep well at night. I also prefer to keep the size at no more than 40 pounds and please no dogs under 2 years old. There will be an extra charge to administer medication. ONLY NEUTERED and SPAYED DOGS! Drop off between 8am-5pm. Thank You!

A typical day

We go for walks every morning. We also have lots of balls and toys for outdoor activity. The dogs enjoy their time in the fresh air vans sunbathing.

Love Your Dog Like Family

Pet care experience

I have owned dogs for twenty one years. Along with my own I have watched and cared for our neighbors and friends dogs. Our dog is a very special part of our family. All dogs should be treated like family which is how I will treat yours. I walk my dog every day. He eats in the morning and evening. I do not feed him table scraps. On occasion I will give him healthy treats. This also avoids begging and promotes a good and healthy environment. I brush his teeth and brush his coat along with getting him groomed every 6 weeks. I will follow your instructions as far as what food, how much and when your dog needs to be fed. The extensive training we have done with our dog has been invaluable. All the training has helped me communicate and listen to our dog. I love my time caring, walking, playing, petting and snuggling my dog which is how I will treat your dog. I am careful about the kind of toys my dog plays with. I will give your dog all the love and care he/she deserves. I can’t imagine not having a dog in my life. They add so much joy and always give unconditional love.

Hudson had the best time with Gayl! She was very responsible and loving towards Hudson. She always sent me photos and updated me throughout his stay. Would definitely use Gayl again soon!

We can’t say enough great things about Gayl and how well she took care of Zoey. She communicated with us every day and sent pictures the two weeks she had her. She’s a very loving dog Mom! Highly recommended!!! 🐶

Our dog Shadow had a two day stay with Gayl and we couldn’t be happier! Gayl provided lots of love for our pup while we were gone, taking him for walks, loving on him, and making sure all his needs were met. We received photos of Shadow having fun and highly recommend Gayl to anyone looking for a great sitter and home!🩷
