Safety, trust & environment

I treat every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and relaxed in their own home. During each visit, I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and medications. I have clinical experience, so I’m also comfortable caring for senior pets, special needs pets, and administering medications if needed. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, and you can trust that your pet is in kind, capable hands every step of the way. My goal is to provide not just care, but comfort, attention, and peace of mind, for both you and your pet!

Information Tony G. would like to know about your pet

Before I care for your pet, I like to get a good sense of who they are and what makes them feel safe and happy. The more I know about their routine and personality, the better I can make sure they’re comfortable while you’re away. Here are a few things that really help me provide the best care: Their daily routine — feeding times, walks, potty breaks, etc. Personality quirks — are they shy, clingy, playful, or more independent? Medical stuff — any medications, allergies, past injuries, or ongoing conditions What they love — favorite toys, treats, cuddle spots, or activities What they avoid — fears, triggers, or things that stress them out House rules — couch privileges, crate training, or anything else I should follow Emergency contacts — vet info, plus a backup contact just in case Every pet is different, and I’m all about meeting them where they are, whether they’re a total goofball, a shy senior, or somewhere in between. The more you share, the smoother things go!

A typical day

A typical day in my care is all about making your pet feel safe, loved, and understood. I start by following their usual routine, whether it’s a morning walk, breakfast, or a little quiet cuddle time. I take time to learn each pet’s preferences so I can offer care that’s not just consistent, but comforting. Throughout the day, I provide enrichment through play, walks, or just relaxed companionship depending on what your pet enjoys most. If your pet needs medication or has special care instructions, I handle that with precision and gentle handling. I always keep water bowls fresh, litter boxes clean, and make sure your home stays tidy. For overnight stays or longer visits, I do check-ins throughout the day, follow feeding and potty schedules closely, and make sure your pet feels secure while you're away. I send daily updates and photos so you never have to wonder how your furry friend is doing, you’ll know they’re happy and well cared for. At the end of the day, your pet gets a familiar bedtime routine; whether that’s a cozy spot on the couch, a quiet crate, or one last belly rub before sleep.

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Tony! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’m lucky enough to have turned that love into my career. I’m a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) graduate currently trying to get my license. I’m passionate about making pets feel safe, loved, and cared for, just like part of the family. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a senior dog needing extra TLC, or a cat who just needs a cozy lap to nap on, I’m here to make sure your pet feels happy and at home, even when you can’t be there.

Tony was great with my 3 large dogs. Came over the night before to meet them and go over my care instructions for them. He sent me pictures and updates throughout his stay at the house. My dogs seemed to love him. Highly recommend and would definitely use again!

Tony took amazing care of my two dogs, Waffles and Sake, while I was away! His background in veterinary medicine gave me so much peace of mind, especially since Sake can be a bit feisty at times. He handled everything with patience, skill, and genuine care, taking the time to work with Sake's particular personality quirks. Throughout my trip, Tony kept me in the loop with daily updates and adorable photos, which made me feel even more at ease. When I came home, the girls were happy, relaxed, and clearly loved — and my house looked just as good as I left it. Tony also has his own cat that he absolutely dotes on, and it shows in how naturally he connects with animals. I’m confident he would make an incredible sitter for anyone lucky enough to book him!
