My pets and I were very happy with Gail's kind and super conscientious and communicative care, which always went the extra mile from photos and videos to show how everyone was doing as she assured my pets while I was out. My residence also felt very safe and cared for as well. I can't recommend Gail enough! read more

My dogs love Auntie Gail! When we are out of town she takes care of them the way I would if I were home. She is also a great videographer and photographer. My photo library has been enhanced by all the great shots she has taken of my little darlings. Seeing photos and videos daily lets me know all is well at home so I can enjoy my time away. She also takes care of my home. There are so many extras to her service, little details that make it personal and professional. She is generous with her time. She provides peace of mind. I'd say that was priceless, but I don't want her to raise her rates. read more

Auntie Gail is GREAT! A first class pet sitter. Gail is very communicative, sent us pictures so we could see our puppets were okay, totally attentive to our dogs and cat, and even managed to coax good behavior from our more fearful dog. Would recommend %100! read more

Gail cared for our two senior dogs while we were away and what a Godsend she is! She's a pro in all things having to do with animal care which came in handy since both dogs got diarrhea and what appears to be a virus. Gail took the initiative and found bone broth and rice in our pantry and treated our dogs like she would her own. What a comfort to know our little ones were in the hands of such an experienced and knowledgeable animal lover. This was our first-time using a professional pet-sitting service and we hope to hire Gail again in the coming year. read more

I just tried Gail for the first time. She came daily to feed my cat while I was out of town, as well as my fish in my Koi pond. She is a natural with animals. My cat hates pretty much everyone but me. However, within days my cat was rubbing up against Gail and greeting her each day. She sends short video's daily of your pet so you have peace of mind while you are out of town. Gail is reliable, professional and thorough. She is also active in the community and attends City Council meetings to try to improve and contribute to the community. I feel lucky to have found such a wonderful person. She is the last pet sitter I'll ever use! Thanks Gail! read more

Gail did a great job cat sitting for us. She sent photos and took care if everything.

Auntie Gail is phenomenal, and she definitely delivers peace of mind my dog is in excellent hands! Gail has a thorough background with and knowledge of animals, is flexible and reasonable, and professional. There isn't much left to add to the perfect ratings before me. Thank you, Auntie Gail, for taking care of Jiro and loving him like your own. read more

Auntie Gail's Happy Tails Petsitting - The feeling is mutual! My dog loves Auntie Gail! - Dog Walkers Near Me

Auntie Gail has been sitting our two German Shepherds for the last five or six years. She's the one person we trust with our "girls", Xena and Stormy. Recently, Stormy had a relapse of a life threatening condition caused by being attacked by a pit bull some years ago. One of her legs began to swell and an infection set in that caused a 107 degree fever and the potential for sepsis and death. We were on the East Coast with no way to get home quickly enough to save her. Auntie Gail went into action, lifting our 100 pound GSD into her car and spending hours at the hospital, working with doctors to make sure she pulled through. When she came home, Auntie Gail managed her medication and special food, cooking rice and chicken for her. She even spend the night to monitor Stormy's temperature and give her medicine at all hours. If it were not for Auntie Gail, our girl would likely have died. Auntie Gail is not just a dog sitter, she's like part of our family. Our girls love her. Her devotion to them and the love she has for them is genuine. We would not let anyone else take care of our big furry family members. read more

I have been having Auntie Gail take care of my two cats for about a year now, including a 2-week stretch, and she is fantastic! One of my cats is 18 years old and requires pills and fluids (sub-cutaneous, with a needle), and Gail does it with no problems. I can't recommend her highly enough--she is gentle and caring. Coming home to pets that have been properly cared for is a load off your mind! read more

Gail is a phenomenal pet sitter, she follows every instruction you give her and makes your critters feel safe, loved and secure. While on our vacation, she texted us with pictures of our critters (cats) and made us feel at peace. I would highly recommend Gail for any of your pet sitting needs. Thank you Gail! read more

What can't I say about Auntie Gail? From the moment I met her, her passion for animals was clear. We barely got a chance to talk at first because she was already making a connection with my dogs...talking to them, petting them and playing with them. I reached out to her because my boyfriend and I were leaving town in a few days and the person that was supposed to take care of our dogs bowed out of his obligation. I actually found her on Yelp! She stepped in without hesitation, and barely a moments' notice, and took care of our kids (our pups are very much like our children) for over a week. We were afraid to trust a stranger with the 2 beings we love most in this world, but her genuine attitude and eagerness to make us feel at ease quickly ebbed our fears. While we were away, Gail sent us texts and pictures of the dogs. And when I let her know how comforting it was and how much I enjoyed receiving the updates, she sent me more (and over the past year she has graduated to some priceless videos of our babies). She also kept a careful eye on the security of our home, watered a few plants, brought our mail in, etc., and it was only taken care of by Gail...she farmed nothing out to other pet sitters. This was a year and a half ago. Since than, Gail has watched our babies on countless occasions. My boyfriend and I have a very active life, and we are also incredibly close to our families that don't live in town, so we reach out to her fairly often for both short visits and a few extended ones too. In addition, I have a very ill family member, and sometimes we need her with only a short notice, and she never fails to come through for us. She also keeps a close eye on our dogs and is cautious about our their safety and well being, since we live in a beautiful rural area, which is also a bit dangerous with coyotes, bobcats, and rattlesnakes. When we arrive home from our trips, I often find new toys on the dogs beds from Santa Gail, a new bag of puppy treats in the cupboard, she's even left us cards and little gifts for special occasions, and so much more. Gail has become our friend now. And although it's clear she cares a great deal for our family, we have come to realize that we truly love her too. I just asked my boyfriend the other day, "What would we do without Gail?" and he looked at me like a deer in headlights, because there is no replacement for her. No matter what is going on in her life, or how busy she is, Auntie Gail puts pets first, and that you can quote me on! read more

I would highly recommend Gail as a responsible, loving and caring pet sitter. We had recently relocated to LA from NY and got her business card from our vet. We were planning a business trip back to NY so we needed someone to watch our two dogs while we were away. Being new in town, we didn't know many people and were nervous about leaving our dogs with a stranger, so Gail invited us out to her home with our dogs, Pierre and Chanel, for a meet and greet. We instantly liked her and so did Pierre and Chanel. They jumped right up on her sofa and made themselves at home. We were going to be gone for a week so we asked her to take our dogs into her home and allow them to sleep in her bed with her! We knew we were asking a lot but she had no problem with our requests. She took our dogs to the dog park, walked them, fed them and gave them lots of love while we were out of town. She gave us text updates while we were away and even took pictures of them playing in the dog park. She was a lifesaver and we always call on her when we are heading out of town. She also is very knowledgeable in animal health care so she would be an excellent choice for someone whose pet has special health care needs. read more

Auntie Gail is the best! She took care of our 4 kitties while we where gone and we could not be happier. She took her time, looked after the mail, plants, litter box. She fed and played with them and took her time to write notes and send us picture updates! The very best of pet sitting! Looking forward to our next vacation! read more

Gail is very conscientous and thorough and genuinely loves animals. She will send you e-mail/text updates for longer vacations. My "kids" (two cats and one dog) love her and we know they are very well taken care of when we are gone. She does not "sub contract" so you always get Gail. We definitely recommend her! read more

Auntie Gail has been taking care of our pets for years and offers exceptional service. Madison, our golden retriever, enjoys her walks and play time in the yard. When we go away for weekends, we know our guys will be happy! A phone call takes care of everything. read more

Gail is the best!! We've had Gail take care of our 3 dogs for the past 3 years. They love her and are so excited to see her when she comes. She truly loves all animals and gives my dogs the hugs and love they need when I'm away. Just as important to me is that I TRUST her with my babies-- one time one of my dogs was sick and Gail knew she needed to see a vet. Gail got my ok and gave her the medicine and TLC until I got back from my trip. She'll send me text photos of them and it helps to see that they're happy and doing ok without me! read more

Auntie Gail's pet sitting is outstanding! We would not use any other service since she offers the best of professional attention to details and care of our pets. While we vacationed in Hawaii, we would get a picture and text every day to show us our dog. What a feeling of security knowing our dog was in good hands. read more

Gail is the IDEAL person to care for your little beloved ones when you're at work, ill, out of town, etc. We met through her extensive volunteer civic work organizing local street and vacant-lot clean-ups! That attitude told us all we needed to know. And her results in practice are excellent! NOTE: We found that many Google results are ADs for 20% agencies that hire anybody at all. They just collect a fee. Little or no experience and no accountability. Call Auntie Gail! She'll never fail! read more

Gail took extra special care of my dear cat while we were on vacation. She even sent text updates which really put me at ease! I knew the litter box was clean and our cat was fed. Gail also got our mail and turned lights on. She provided great service and I will always call on her for my pet sitting needs! read more

Auntie Gail is the way to go for pet sitting! She is an amazing care-giver and goes the extra mile. We can go on vacation with peace of mind, knowing that Gail is tending to everything and the cats and house will be taken care of. Our cats aren't even mad at us when we return - the ultimate tell-tale that they were happy and loved in our absence! Gail is the best! read more

I have just recently relocated to Seattle and actually this is my first Yelp review because Aunty Gail's Pet Sitting is that awesome! My husband and I were lucky to call Gail our cat companion for a whole year while we were living in the Sunland-Tujunga area of Southern California. She is reliable, caring, attentive and willing to do whatever it takes to ensure your furry friends are well loved while you are away. We have relied on Aunty Gail almost once a month for at least two days over a year period. Both of our cats require special care and Gail never once flinched to do what was needed to ensure their safety and happiness. Our one cat is Deaf and has Asthma. Gail went out of her way to learn how to properly administer his inhaler and always made sure to approach him while he was alert so not to startle him. Our second cat is quite overweight, sheds a lot and has a heart murmur. She requires daily cleaning and Gail was so wonderful with her. Both cats' demeanors were carefree and loved every time we returned from a trip. She not only took great care of our feline family members, but our house as well! We always returned home to a clean, organized environment with a note detailing her visits and mail collected, plants watered, etc! On top of all of this, she made sure to keep in contact daily through text which I can tell you really puts you at ease when you love your cats as much as we do and are out of town. read more

We started using Auntie Gail 4 years ago when we first moved to this town. My one cat is very shy but will come out and greet Auntie Gail. My other cat is very demanding of affection and Auntie Gail gives her lots of love and attention. She sends us a photo and updates us which is very reassuring. We will soon be moving out of state and fear we won't find another "Auntie Gail" in our new town. I highly recommend her. She's fabulous! read more

Gail took care of our 2 GSDs over Christmas while we were away visiting family. We had such peace of mind that an experienced animal lover was willing and ready to take care of them during our trip, including Christmas day and Christmas eve. One day, one of our dogs was excitedly playing with her jolly ball, when the ball hit a water spigot and broke it, sending a large amount of water gushing in the yard. Gail had it turned off within minutes, and coordinated with our gardener who was kind enough to come up and repair the broken spigot. That was not the only emergency during our trip, our precocious GSDs opened their gate latch and got out of the yard a few days later. Gail came right away and worked with our next door neighbor to get the dogs back in the yard, and secure the latch with a bungee cord. And of course she made sure they were fed, petted and got play time every day we were gone. She also sent us text messages with photos and funny videos of our girls, the whole family was on the floor laughing at one of the videos she made. Totally above and beyond what I would expect from any dog sitter. She also set our alarm every day, got our mail and watered our plants. Both girls got Christmas wrapped nyla bones from Auntie Gail when she left, another unexpected surprise that was super sweet and thoughtful. Auntie Gail is as good as it gets, our top choice every time we can't be here for our dogs. read more

It gives me great peace of mind to know that Auntie Gail is looking after my cats while I'm away. She is efficient, organized, and capable, but more importantly, caring and reliable. She customizes the routine to suit my pets' needs so that they get the best possible care. She keeps me informed with texts and photos so that I have no worries and can see how they are doing while I am away. I am happy to recommend her. read more
