Happy Pet Happy Life Provider

Pet care experience

I've worked with a shelter back home. It was difficult work since it was poorly funded. I mostly helped sourcing funds for the shelter. My dog was very sick when we got him. He was diagnosed with parvo and distemper after 2 weeks of getting him. We took him to the vet and nursed him until he got better. I didn't sleep all night while watching over him the first few days before confinement and immediately after. I've cared for him for three years now. He's a healthy and happy dog. I've trained him and worked with his issues. He's a frustrated greeter probably because we didn't see another dog for months at a time during his puppy years due to covid. But he has made a ton of progress, he can now pay attention to me instead of barking at other dogs he can't say hello to. We still have a lot of work to do but we continue progressing every day. I believe I can care for and show your pet the love and attention that they deserve because that's what I provide my dog every day.

Gab did a wonderful job giving Juniper hour-long walks while she was staying with her grandparents. Great communication and very reliable. Thank you!

Gab has been a great sitter! He was willing to add an extra day to the schedule with me having to leave town sooner, such a blessing.

Gab stayed with Teddy for 5 nights while we were traveling and took such great care of Teddy. We received frequent updates and communication from Gab including pictures and videos. Gab went above and beyond - taking Teddy for long walks, to the parks nearby, playing with Teddy in the yard, letting Teddy play and interact with his friends, etc. it was so comforting and gave us such peace of mind while we were gone to know that Teddy was being so well cared for. We will definitely use Gab again in the future and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

Safety, trust & environment

Every pet owner has their own set up. Whether it'll be walks and feeding schedules, naps, or play-time. What I do best is follow the client's instructions and stay connected to the pet so he/she wont feel alone. I can give them space but I wont be too far away.

Information Gab M. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know the dog's personality, walk length preference, sociability/friendliness to strangers and other dogs, and demeanor during walks. Also, their size and weight are important to know and if they are food motivated and/or trying to diet. allergies. And lastly, if they have special needs.

A typical day

It really depends on the dog. If its a quiet and reserved dog, I'd like to take it to Lee st beach and sit by the benches and relax with a soft breeze. If its an active/outgoing dog we can go to Elliot park, garden park, or Baker park to throw a ball around or a frisbee.
