About: I've been around dogs and animals my entire life. My oldest dog has been with me since I was 17 so she's going on 13 years old. I have a 5 year old Great Dane and German Australian mix that I've had since puppies. I'm great at teaching puppies sit, lay down, and recalling. (I'm not a professional by no means) I raised an elder iguana for 6 years before she passed, I grew up with cats of all personalities, and rabbits. I'm not shy or jittery of reptiles, amphibians, spiders or other insects. I work a very flexible work from home job that allows me to step away any time that I need. I can guarantee that your pet will not be alone for more than 4 hours Mon to Fri and Saturday and Sunday I usually have open availability I'm calm, I know stress signals in dogs and cats, I will meet with your animals at their own pace. I will follow any care instructions you have left and I will clean up any found accidents (puppies and other non house broke animals or elderly) including if their crates need cleaned as long as the supplies are easily found without me needing to open cabinets (on a counter or table) I always avoid people and other animals on walks to minimize all risks. I'm very careful when opening door in case someone decides to run, and I don't mind getting during/slobbered on

About: I’ve been working with dogs since I was 12 and have spent the past year at a professional pet boarding facility, where I care for dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. From energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra patience and attention, I’ve gained hands-on experience with a wide range of needs. I’m confident in daily routines like feedings, walks, cleaning, playtime, and helping dogs feel calm and comfortable while you’re away. I truly love spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for like family. I work part-time during the week, so I’m available for pet care anytime after 1 PM on weekdays. Weekends are even more flexible—I’m free all day to give your pet the attention they need. This schedule allows me to provide focused, quality care without rushing. Whether it’s regular visits, walks, playtime, or last-minute care, I’m here to fit your schedule and make sure your furry friend feels happy, safe, and loved. I understand how important consistency and routine are for pets, so I’m committed to being reliable and attentive every time we meet. I prefer caring for pets at their own home because it’s a familiar, comfortable environment for them, and my home can be a bit busy at times. However, I’m happy to make arrangements to care for pets at my home if needed. My home has a securely fenced yard, so dogs can play and explore safely. Whether at your place or mine, your pet will receive the same loving, attentive care, with plenty of supervision, playtime, and comfort to keep them happy and safe.

I will spend mornings and evenings with your pet(s)! I do work full time; if your home is a reasonable distance from where I work, I can drop by for lunch time potty breaks or walks. Your pet will go no more than 8-hours without me being there. As someone who travels often, I know what it feels like to worry about your pet while gone. I will abide by any house rules (even if that means they can’t sleep in the bed with me), and send lots of pictures and updates to give you a sound mind while away from your pups.

They are welcome anywhere in my home. I do go by my middle name which is GAIL. Thank you!
