Pet care experience

I will care for your pet with Love!

I grew up with both dogs and cats and since retiring and living in the PNW, my husband and I have adopted two dogs. I/we have a lot of love to give and will treat your pups as if they are our own. We live in a house with a big, fenced back yard for them to run and play. If wanted, we will go for walks in our secure neighborhood of cul-de-sacs, not on busy streets. I have experience caring for senior dogs as well as those with medical needs.

Gayle took care of my dog with love and care, making sure she had the chance to do her favorite thing (fetch!) and keeping me updated along the way. I could tell by the details and photos Gayle was sharing that my dog felt comfortable even though it was her first time. It was very helpful to have had a meet & greet before booking to help get established and questions answered. Thank you Gayle & Michael!

Gayle took excellent care of our dog for the weekend. She sent the cutest pictures and my dog loved spending time outside with her 2 small dogs. Overall, great experience and would book again

We cant’t say enough good things about our recent pet sitting experience with Gayle. It was our first time using Gayle and we were very happy with her communication and focus on the details to make sure the visit went as planned and it did. But more importantly was her attention to our dogs and making them feel at home in a new environment. In particular one of our dogs is a bit older and needs a little more attention and Gayle was very attentive to that. We would definitely recommend Gayle’s services.

Gayle and Michael were great. Gayle takes care of the dogs but clearly Michael has the lap role as our pup sat on his lap every morning. Loved all the pictures and videos during our trip. Baci looked like she was having a ball. So much so, the first day back with us, I think she is disappointed in our small yard and no dogs to play with at home. She really enjoyed her stay!!!

Amazing!!! Gayle was loving and kind, and actually got my very nervous and shy puppy to kiss her and show affection, which she has never done before.. I was able to go on vacation for over a week and never worried that my Gracie was unhappy or unloved. I can’t find enough words to say how wonderful she is and I will definitely use her again if she is available. A definite dog whisperer with a kind heart.

Just did a one night stay for our 1 year old pup. Gayle did a great meet and greet ahead of time so we could see all the dogs got along. Gayle and Michael have a great setup especially if you want your dog crated at night like we do. They have recorded video when they leave the house. Our girl was a bit stressed when they left the first time but the ‘boys’ were relaxed so she settled. Baci got snuggle time in the evening and seems like lots of running around and play during the day. Came home nice and tired. She gave both Gayle and Michael kisses when we left and even cried a bit in the car like she was sad to leave. Good dogs and caring people = great stay!

I am currently retired and have lots of time for care of your dogs. I will treat your dog(s) with love and attention. I have owned dogs since I was a child and currently live with our two Cairn terriers. They are little dogs with lots of character and keep me entertained every day. I have watched our neighbor's dog(s) because they know I have lots of love and attention to give to each one!
