About Gabe S.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a lot of supplies to make your pup’s time with me as enjoyable as possible. Kongs, lickimats, snuffle mats, slow feeders, tennis balls of course, as well as a variety of different treats to accommodate for any allergies. I can tire out your energetic pups, as well as go slow and gently with the shy fellas. My goal is to always provide the best time possible to your dog and give them attention second only to the attention you give them yourself!
Information Gabe S. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if there’s any special considerations in regards to how your dog likes being introduced to strangers. If your dog is reactive or fearful on leash that is also essential knowledge. I can manage those behaviors, but in the interest of safety I don’t want to be caught off guard! I will also need to know if any allergies, sensitivities, or medical conditions to make sure I provide appropriate activities and treats for your pup.
A typical day
I have good treats, toys, puzzles, and especially love playing nose games with dogs. I can also brush up on your basic commands! I strictly use positive reinforcement techniques so you can be assured that only good times are ahead!

Dog Care in West Philly
Pet care experience
I am a dog trainer and my last job was as an enrichment counselor at a luxury dog hotel. I provided exercise, training, affection, mental stimulation, and socialization to dogs who weren’t well suited to playing in large groups. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I also foster for shelters when my schedule allows, and volunteer at a local shelter here in Philly.
Reviews
A really great sitter! Dixie was left totally tuckered out and had a great afternoon with Gabe - who was super attentive, really gentle, kind with her. Super communicative and even met up with us prior to the house sit for a meet and greet. Would definitely book with Gabe again!
Gabe did a fantastic job watching over our pups on fairly short term notice! They gave us plenty of updates, clearly provided the dogs with ample care, attention, and play, and we came back to two very happy guys. They took great care of our house too. Would happily rebook!
Gabe was great. He kept us very updated on the stay with Cricket and she seemed to be having a fun time. The house was very tidy too when we got back. Would happily have Gabe stay with Cricket again!
Mochi was really calm after Gabe dropped by! He was getting ready to go back to sleep, which was the goal! I will definitely book again.
