Welcome Our New Pet Sitter!

Hi, I'm Gayle McMillan.  I met Bill Green, the founder of Gulf Shores Critter Care, in 2014 when he began caring for my two rescue dogs.  Because of his dedication and attention to detail, I became a loyal client.  Recently, Bill decided to return to his career as a registered nurse.  He wanted someone he knew and trusted to take over his business;  I was selected to be that someone.  I am both pleased and honored.

Like Bill, I am dedicated to animals and their welfare.  In 2018, I led the formation of Animal Welfare Advocates, a community-based group of animal lovers who committed themselves to improving the welfare of abused, abandoned, and orphaned pets in South Baldwin County.  We spearheaded a movement to build a no-kill animal shelter for dogs and cats at the Graham Creek Preserve in Foley.  In 2020, we turned the project over to a well-established community group that operates a spay/neuter facility in lower Baldwin County. Hopefully, South Baldwin County will one day have a state-of-the-art facility that focuses on adoption, community involvement, and best practices for humane animal care.

Prior to this community work, I taught English to both middle school and high school students in the Baldwin County school system.  My last assignment was coordinator/facilitator of a learning lab at Robertsdale High School where students received individualized instruction to overcome academic weaknesses.  To remain active after my retirement from teaching, I worked part-time as a hospitality and information specialist for Gulf Shores-Orange Beach Tourism. I retired from this work so that I could remain connected to animal welfare through Gulf Shores Critter Care.

For your peace of mind and sense of security as well as my own, I am licensed and insured.  The first visit with a prospective client is a get-acquainted consult where I provide references.  There is no charge for this consult.

The tradition of quality pet care that Bill established will continue. Knowing that your pets are important family members, I will care for them as if they are my own. 

Gulf Shores Critter Care provides more than a service.  I give exceptional care and personal attention to my clients’ pets.  This is what Gulf Shores Critter Care has always done and will continue to do exceptionally well.

I look forward to working for and with you,

Gayle McMillan
