Animal Lover and Caretaker

Pet care experience

I’ve had pets my whole life, once I moved out on my own though I took in 2 cats and a dog. (Unfortunately my dog recently passed however) One of my cats was taken from his mom at 2 weeks old and I raised him completely, bottle feeding and everything. I take pet care very seriously no matter who’s animal I will love them as if they were my own :)

Gabe spoiled Koda with plenty of attention, play time in the yard, and a walk. He seems like a very caring, honest dude who’s great with animals. He sent a video and several photos throughout the day. We will definitely be going back!

Penny had a great time with Gabe over the holidays - he is our go-to sitter. Treats our dog like his own.

Penny had another great weekend with Gabe. He was flexible and responsive. while we were away. So glad not to have to worry about our dog while we're away. Thanks, Gabe!!!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a decent sized house with two cats that roam the house but have lived with a dog in the past and got along super well with. I keep trash away from dogs as I know some have a habit of eating stuff like that and when caring for dogs I tend to keep them in the same room with me at all times and when taking them out I have a large fenced in yard that they can run freely in unless requested to take them on walks instead or as well as taking them into the backyard. Food will be kept in a room under supervision by me. Whatever my clients request I will likely be happy to oblige so just let me know what schedules your pets are on or whatever they like to do or how they like to play. Before booking with me as well just think of your dogs habits and experience with other pets specifically cats as I like to keep as healthy and safe of an environment as possible for any pets within my home.

Information Gabe B. would like to know about your pet

I’ll ask for a description of your dogs behaviors, favorite things to do/toys they like and whatever preferences and important things in their schedule you’d like me to stick to I of course will stick to. I’ll also request a basic schedule of when they tend to eat, go potty etc.

A typical day

Your animals will spend lots of time outside excersizing and playing and once tired will have lots of rest on whatever comfortable furniture they want to lay on. They’ll have time to play, sleep and explore as much as they want.

Availability

I work part time at the moment at a doggy daycare. However I am simply not getting enough hours so work 1-3 days a week and it Varys every week. I will update my availability every week to my days off however when I do work it is always 6am-2pm so I would be available after work either way.
