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
Gabe dog sat our two older dogs at our house for a few days while we were away. They communicated frequently with multiple cute pictures. When we came back our house was just like we had left it. Most importantly, their attitude and experience provided us with a sense of reassurance while we were away - our dogs both require medications and have their ow unique personalities, and we felt like Gabe really bonded with them.
Gabe was wonderful with our animals, including a very anxious dog, a sometimes reactive dog, and a shy cat. They were very knowledgeable and allowed the animals to warm up to them on their own time. We felt very comfortable leaving our animals with Gabe.
Gabe was awesome! They were super communicative and great with our old needy dog. They also took great care of our home! Will definitely use them again in the future.
I have a very nervous dog and Gabe knew exactly how get to her to warm up to him. Happy to have found him.

Skills
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!
