Animals make me feel comfortable!
Pet care experience
I have always had at least one dog at a time growing up. I've had dogs that were 200lbs to 50lbs. Growing up I cared for a bunny, a ferret, multiple exotic fish, 2 cats, a frog, and 4 dogs. Growing up in Texas I walked the neighbor's dogs and one ferret. I have applied to work at animal rescue shelters along with working in veterinary clinics. My last job was working at a doggy daycare center/boarding for dogs, cats, and exotics. At this job, I bathed, monitored, fed, played, and most importantly loved the animals. I have been on and off babysitting and walking my grandmother's hyper goldendoodle since he was a month old. Currently, I have 2 medium-sized goldendoodles, a whites tree frog, and a persian.
Reviews
I reached out to Gabi last minute because I had to go out of town for a sick family member. She was able to come and stay with my baby on very short notice and even came back for a few walks when I needed some additional support. She stayed in constant communication and was super helpful. I would definitely use her again!
Gabi is always dependable and give Grace lots of love.
Always dependable and flexible when my flight was delayed
Gabi is very sweet and patient with our nervous puppy! Would definitely recommend her!

Safety, trust & environment
I make sure to give the animal as much love and attention as I give my own animals, which is quite a lot. I have always spoiled my animals as much as I can. When scolding them I do not touch them. I will clap and make a "nuh-uh" noise and this tends to usually catch their attention. I try and make sure my animals stay on a routine so they never feel forgotten, lost, or confused.
Information Gabi E. would like to know about your pet
It is really important to know a dog's routine as it can make changes easier and not as confusing. If the dog needs any vitamins or medication, and how the medication is given. As well as knowing if the dogs have any medical problems to be aware of. Any feeding instructions are also very important. If your dog is sensitive to something or has something to comfort them that is also helpful to know to make them feel as comfortable as possible.
A typical day
If there is a hike close by I would love to go on a hike with a dog. I think it's really important they get to go to new places to investigate. If your dog enjoys water and is allowed in the water I have a pool to play with them in. During a hot day, this is also great for them. My house has a big yard where I love to play fetch with the dogs. Playing tug of war is also always fun. When we aren't playing I am almost always loving the dog. I tend to cuddle and pet my dogs as much as I can.

Availability
Currently, I have nothing filling up my daily or weekly schedule. In the fall I will have virtual college classes. These classes will allow me to learn from home while being able to love and take care of your animal at the same time!
