Trustworthy, Loving, and Punctual

Pet care experience

Dogs and cats I meet know immediately that I love and respect them. I often say I wish I had 5 pets. I believe the enthusiasm and unconditional love that dogs and cats show us can teach us all to be better people. I treat any animal I meet or care for in the same loving way I would treat my own. I love to adapt my behavior to the animal's. If they are excited, I will boost my energy for them. If they are laid back, I will relax into them. If they love to cuddle, I'm all theirs! When cats want to cuddle I feel especially lucky! I work from home in a comfortable, peaceful atmosphere. I love giving them the attention they deserve, and enjoy having them by my side. Part of the fun is finding their sweet spot where they love to be petted and massaged.

We booked Gil on short notice and he was luckily able to accommodate us. Gil was very warm and thoughtful and communicative. He welcomed our dog Gus and made him feel right at home! I felt secure knowing that Gus was in great hands and will look forward to having Gil dog sit again soon.

Gil has been terrific - everything we could have asked for in a sitter. He truly cares about our dog and Communication is consistent and informative. Most importantly our 5 year old pup absolutely loves Gil!

Information Gilbert P. would like to know about your pet

Your pets regular schedule helps me . It's eating patterns and bathroom patterns. Where they sleep and when. Any funny quirks your pet may have that I shouldn't be worried about if they do (like funny noises : ) Any separation anxiety issues and how to calm them, or any instances that cause them anxiety in general like loud TV even. Any health issues. What supplies are coming with your pet.

A typical day

I live less than a mile from a nice lake. Walking to the lake to enjoy the view and back home is a delightful mile-and-a-half walk dogs seem to LOVE. I live in a community that is very quiet with few people. I have a big yard we can play frisbee in, and have mastered using a 50ft. lead for play. I will keep your pet on the leash as we run together in the yard and when we're out for the walks. If your dog or cat is boarding with me, he or she will be part of the family each night.
