Enthusiastic animal lover

Pet care experience

I have had and taken care of various animals my whole life. From tireless dogs, to obstinate horses, to timid rabbits- I have seen and dealt with all sorts of furry situations. Growing up we had many dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and coming from a home that never had less than 3 animals at a time, I always found myself in need of that kind of companionship. So in my first 2 years of college I was lucky enough to find a job that allowed me to expand my dog sitting experience and work with many dogs at once. At this doggy daycare I supervised and kept order in large groups of dogs during their play time, I made and dispersed meals, and I spent 1 on 1 time with dogs who were not suited to join the larger groups. During those college years I also worked a very unconventional barn job, where my duties included feeding and medicating 4 horses, 2 cats, and a koi pond; daily walking excersize with a horse with ligament issues; cleaning; and bringing the horses in and out from pasture. My other various experiences with animals include years of ranch camp experience where we cared for horses and other farm animals, dogsitting/puppysitting with consistent clients in my home town, and 2 years of walking through Wag. I am committed to animal care that exceeds expectations, and to providing animals with all the love, companionship, and exercise they need in daily life. I'd love to hear from you if you have any questions!

Wow and wow again! Gabby took wonderful care of our 2 Goldendoodles while we were vacationing for the summer (2 years) in California. She was incredibly accomodating and very loving to our dogs. The dogs ran to Gabby when she arrived, a really good sign of the affection she provides to animals Responsible, meticulous and has a tremendous follow through. We were able to leave her in charge of our dogs and home overnight. Gabby even sat for our grandchildren with the dogs. She's amazing!

I do not offer boarding at this time, but I am more than happy to watch your animals in your own home. I know that besides making sure your animals have a good time, it is important to supervise them to make sure that they don't get into anything that could be dangerous for them. I also have plenty of references who can attest to my caretaking abilities!

Information Gabby S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your animals have any special needs, allergies, or other animals they tend to be reactive to, so I can best be prepared to care for them.

A typical day

I live very close to Rose Park, which is a great loop to take for walks, with beautiful scenery all around. During walks I like to make sure the pup stays engaged through vocal ques and touch.

I'm working part time right now, mainly on the weekends, so I have plenty of time during the week to dote on your furry babies! I don't have the space or finances for a full time pet of my own right now, so I love having the opportunity to care for other people's animals in the meantime.
