Pet care experience

Attentive care for your pup!

Hey dog, let’s hang! I’ve been caring for dogs since I got my first dog at 12 and recently lost my own 13 year old beagle/lab mix , adopted in 2016, to cancer. While I’m not quite ready for another dog of my own, I’m missing having a dog around and would love to hang with yours for a while you’re out for the day or out of town! With a work from home schedule, I am able to adapt my lifestyle to your dog and work with any behaviors and needs the dog may have. I love to walk around my neighborhood and am a big proponent of the sniff-ari - an enriching, mentally stimulating way to stroll!

We have used Gabbi for multiple trips and she has always been very sweet with our dog Marty. Sends lots of pictures. On our latest trip we got delayed by a day and she kept Marty for an extra 24 hours on very short notice. Highly recommend!

Gabbi was great with our sassy girl — regular updates and clearly very attentive! We were able to enjoy our trip knowing Elska was well looked after. We also work from home, so it was nice having that continuity and clearly Gabbi works hard to ensure that routines are kept as close to normal was possible. Any pup that stays with her is in good hands!

Gabbi was so great boarding our pup again, even during a frigid weekend! He's a sensitive guy who can't go on walks when it's super cold, and she he made sure he had fun, was comfortable, and got all the cozy snuggles he wanted. We got lots of updates and knew he was being treated like a little prince ;) Looking forward to booking again soon!

Schedule

I work full time 100% from home and am able to take out your dog before work, during lunch, after work, and before bed! In case of tummy troubles, I’m able to be flexible. I spend most work nights at home cooking and ready to snuggle with your pet and turn on a great movie! On weekends, I tend to keep my outings under 4 hours. I’m happy to bring your dog along to any errands I can if car rides and errands work for them!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a quiet, neat apartment without any other pets that can provide a relaxing, supervised space for your pet. I love to take walks in my neighborhood and, if your dog likes car rides, in various parks and trials around the twin cities! Your dog can count on 4 walks a day with one of the walks being at least 30 minutes in length, unless your dog’s needs call for a less active day. I am careful to take weather and temperature needs into consideration when planning our day together (for instance, a hotter day I may do the longest walk in the morning hours). In case of an emergency, I will take your dog to the University of Minnesota Veterinary Medical Center Emergency Vet, unless you direct me to go to a different emergency vet. **Out of the utmost caution for myself and animals in my care, due to H5N1 I am not comfortable feeding any raw diets at this time**

A typical day

A typical weekday consists of a morning walk, working from home, a lunch walk, an afternoon walk and an evening walk. I never get bored of a Cathedral Hill stroll, but am excited to take a dog who enjoys car rides to local lakes and trails.

I would like to know the dog’s daily routines, what and when they eat, their exercise needs, preferred inside activities (for instance- do they like bones, toys, and puzzles, or are they a champion napper?) and any behavioral concerns so I can accommodate your dog!
