Pro House and Pet Sitter
Pet care experience
I have experience in: -walking, feeding, and watering dogs big, small, and everything in between. -working with shy, standoffish, and older pets who need a little coaxing to enjoy their walk. -calming excitable and rambunctious pets. -cleaning up messes, spills (indoors), scooping poop (outdoors). Along with dogs, I also housesit and take care of pets like reptiles, amphibians, and fish! I am proficient in freshwater quality testing and knowledgeable in other areas of exotic pet care. My cover photo is of my Axolotl. He is a fully aquatic Mexican salamander named Trent (after Trent Reznor). I also own mystery snails. If you have scaly and slimy friends along with your furry friends that need taking care of, I'm happy to help.
Reviews
Can't say enough about Gabe. He is the best! Our little girl was happy, he communicated very well, and treated our home respectfully. Our time away was much more enjoyable knowing Gabe was holding things down at home. Book him...we definitely will be doing so again in the near future.
Fantastic! Gabe was immediately welcomed by our furry kids and we got regular updates and pics of them while we were gone. We've already booked Gabe again for the next weekend!
Gabe did such a great job with our pups. He was attentive and met our expectations. Will definitely hire again!
Gabe is absolutely fantastic. He has watched our two dobies several times and we couldn't ask for a better sitter. He is quick to reply to communications and always send us pictures of the pups playing!

Safety, trust & environment
I like to give pets as much outdoor time as possible and I love taking pictures of them to update their owners with while they play. If you choose me as your sitter, prepare to receive lots of cute pictures of pets enjoying the outdoors and cuddling up for a movie later on.
Information Gabe H. would like to know about your pet
Does your dog get along with other dogs? Can your dog be allowed off of the leash? Is your dog hearing impaired (i.e. will they be able to hear if off the leash and called from across the park/field)? Does your dog have any other impairments (visual, motor, etc)? Answering these questions to the best of your ability will help me give your pet the best service possible. I am a fan of all dog breeds in all stages of life. I don't exclude any breed or age from any of my services. However, I do have a soft spot for pits and American bulldogs. They are some of the happiest, most cuddly dogs around.
A typical day
Typically I will let your pet out for some fresh air and bathroom break before feeding them breakfast. I will then make sure that they are secured inside and have plenty of water and whatever food/treats they made need during the day before I head to work. After I leave work I will head immediately back to your place to give your pet lots of time playing with me outside/and or cuddles (dependent on their needs). When dinner time rolls around they will be treated to their regular meal and then spend the evening chilling with me!
