Your Furbaby’s New Best Friend!

Just ask anyone who knows me…I am obsessed and totally in love with dogs. I’ll love and care for your furbaby like he/she is mine. But, beware…because it has happened, your baby might not want to leave my house. I don’t work at all. But, I take my babies to the dog park nearly every day. I will take yours as well if you approve. I have really good friends at the park, both human and canine, and they will happily accept your pup into the pact. Seldom do I leave the house, but when I do it’s not for long. I have two pets of my own. One is 10 years old, but absolutely full of energy, and one is 5 years old, with equal energy! Both are super friendly and accepting. I also have a roommate who has a 16 year old miniature schnauzer who is as sweet as can be. If your babies stay overnight we will all sleep in my bed together. Or, a variety of other small beds they can choose if they want to. I have a special ramp for them to get on my bed if they are older. There is food and water in my room at all times. And, there is a doggy door to a nice sized, fenced yard (no way to escape) in the main portion of my house.

Gayle was wonderful! I could immediately tell how well she cared for my babies by the way they respond to her. She’s truly a Chihuahua whisperer, and I trust her completely. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring, reliable, flexible and great with dogs.

Our two girls had a fun stay at Gayle’s home. Lots of other little dogs for them to interact with . We will use her the next time we leave town 👍

Gayle was great with our dogs. She gave them lots of attention while we were away and took them on run adventures to the dog park! Will definitely use again.

Thank you for taking care of our sweet dog. He was comfortable at your home and loved the chicken with his food and enjoyed the park

Gayle went above and beyond for our Yorkie Scrappy. We were sent videos and photos while out of town, which was not expected. She also fed him chicken and rice because he refused to eat his regular food. This was going above and beyond in my eyes. I would 100% recommend and use her again.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a nice sized fenced in yard and my own friendly dogs that would welcome your pet. There is no way to escape my fence. There are dogs on both sides of me and they all love to run the fence and bark at the other dogs.

Pets

A typical day

If you agree, I will take your baby to the dog park where they can run and play and have a great time. Plus, they expend a lot of energy and sleep really well at night. It’s hard for me to pick your little up in the morning but I have no problem dropping him/her off in the evening. We usually go to the the park around 7;30 PM, because it is cooler then, and I can drop them off on the way home. We leave the park anytime between 9 and 10 PM. We have a pretty large group that meet at the dog park so we just sit and chat and let the dogs play. I have lit up collars to keep track of them when it starts getting dark.
