Safety, trust & environment

I am reliable and will always look out for your pet's safety and well-being! I currently do not have a pet of my own. We recently lost our cat of 19 years and I am not ready to get another pet of my own. So, I have lots of love to give your pets. I live in a condominium and do not have a fenced yard but I am close by Bowler Park with a fenced dog area and lots of walking trails.

Pet care experience

My pet experience is from caring for my own pets and those of friends and family. I currently take care of a friend’s five cats when he is out of town and I house sit for my bother’s two adorable dogs. I also take care of my daughter’s 4 cats, 2 dogs and rabbit when she is out of town. I have cared for many types of pets over the years including dogs, cats, rabbits, fish and lizards. I have taken care of several personal pets in their senior years requiring medical care and special needs/behavior issues. This includes a cat which requires a daily inhaler and a rabbit which needs treatment for occasional stasis.

Gayle is so gentle with Apollo and is very thorough - asking questions to make sure she has all the details and is covering all the bases. Very much appreciated! This drop in visit was extremely helpful since we needed to be gone longer than Apollo’ bladder could wait. Knowing that he had a visitor coming, not only for the potty break, but for pets and treats, was reassuring! 100% recommend Gayle for either drop ins or overnight stays!
