Safety, trust & environment

I have a large fully fenced yard with security cameras that watch all angles outside the home. No pets are left outside alone, unless inside the outdoor run for a brief moment as needed. The property is secure and pet friendly. Pets can roam inside or out and come and go as they wish throughout the home. I have plenty of space for your pets to roam around and play or be kenneled as needed. The entire home is pet safe and extremely clean inside and out. My home has an outdoor sunroom attached to the garage to provide shade and shelter from the weather. I have several dog beds available and plenty of toys. I have the basic necessities for animal care and medical supplies if needed. There is an ER vet within 2 miles of my home in case of an emergency. I can administer medication if needed during a visit. The home is air-conditioned for hot summer days and well heated for winter nights. I have 2 large outdoor dog runs(4 ft wide x 6 ft tall x 8 ft long they are fully covered and only used as needed. I also have a 2 medium and 2 large/xl size portable kennels available if needed. I offer daily pet walks and potty breaks as needed. Pets have fresh water available inside and out. I have food and treats available as needed. I do a daily clean of the entire home and deep cleans between each dog stay.

Information Gayle F. would like to know about your pet

Please inform me of size ,breed and the sex of your dog. We can discuss any specific needs during a meet and greet prior to a visit to ensure the dogs will get along together. Please ensure your pets have current up to date flea treatments and vaccinations. We must keep our pets safe.

A typical day

I will provide cuddles, scratches and love throughout each visit. We will have plenty of play time and walks. There is two city parks a few blocks from my home and a large church field at the end of the street. I can transport the dogs to a dog park on nice weather days. During extended stays if you are comfortable we may go hiking at Silverfalls, Minto Brown park or Willamette Mission park. Sitka loves camping and beach trips too.

Pet care experience

I have been around animals my entire life. I was raised around all types of farm animals. I have worked the fair barns and some rodeos. I helped friends show draft horses at the state fair. I have volenteered at animal shelters and worked at a private cat rescue. I recently worked part-time for a private stable that does show horses. My dog Sitka is a 9 yr old blue/red heeler mix. She is a tri-paw after having a rear leg amputation in Oct. of 2021. She would love to make new friends to play with. My partner Dustin, his son Mason and their pup Ricardo joined our pack in May of 2024 they are well loved and wonderful with all the visiting pups. Sadly Ricardo is no longer with us Sept. 2025.

We used Gayle for our first time boarding and our dog unexpectedly experienced a high degree of separation anxiety. Gayle provided comfort to our dog and strove to alleviate her fears, as well as worked with our vet to assist with the challenge. Gayle kept us well informed with updates and pictures. She was kind and personable. We felt confident that our dog was remaining safe and receiving competent care while we were away.
