Active walks in Central Park!
Pet care experience
I am an experienced animal caretaker, with a great love for all pets. I am available full-time and for last-minute appointments too. I am generally very active with my pet charges and living on Central Park, we all get a lot of exercise, running and frolicking through the grass. I also adore playing with cats in their habitats - kitty romps! I will love, train and care for your animal children as if they were my own. Every pet has their own eccentricities, desires and needs. I make an incredible effort to interact with each of them differently, so they all receive very particular care. I like every animal to feel at home and comfortable with me, so I try to do those things they are used to, even if it seems silly!
Reviews
Gil was great with Cooper (who is not the easiest dog to walk). He kept us informed throughout our vacation and was very responsive over text. I would highly recommend Gil.
Gil is absolutely, hands-down, my favorite dog walker. He always makes himself available to me with little or no advance notice, walks my precious baby exactly the way she likes it and has a fantastic demeanor with both of us. Convenience is very important to me and Gil has made my life much easier. I once called him at 10.30pm and asked him to come after 11pm and he did it without hesitation. The only downside is that my dog, Biscuit, now prefers walking with him! Another bonus with Gil is that he well versed with dog training. He was able to train my dog to do numerous tricks (including a "bang" and then fall down and roll over dead) and managed to wean her off of a leash aggression problem that she was having. I couldn't recommend him to you strongly enough. He is completely trustworthy and thus I have even started to have him come and babysit my cat in the home. Miss P now adores Gil the way the rest of us do! If you are lucky enough to be able to get some of his time, I thoroughly suggest you take it!
My rescue dog was very anxious whenever a new person came to my home I could not kennel him so on occasion a dog care giver was necessary. Gil was a real gift for my dog and me. He has " dog whisper" qualities and a responsible and caring approach with his client and their needs. I have recommended him to pet owner friends.

Information Gil F. would like to know about your pet
Their common behaviors and if they have ever been aggressive. In general, I try to ask the parents for any stories of unusual interaction. I also ask about any leash aggression, any favorite or disliked animals and whether the dog has ever run away from them. I need an overall picture of what to expect from the dog on our outings.
A typical day
They will have all their walks in the ramble in Central Park and play the games they like to play. They will get lots of love and attention to make them feel at home as mush as possible. I also try to do some basic training with them in a fun atmosphere.
