Pet care experience

Experienced Handler in Minneapolis

I am currently available for drop in visits and walks around Minneapolis and St. Paul in the mornings before 11:30 AM and in the evenings after 5. In addition to living with and caring for dogs most my life, I have 2 years of experience working at a dog boarding and training facility called in Oakland, CA. In addition to playgroup and boarding I spent time as a dog trainer, working with our clients to tackle a range of goals from basic obedience training to more challenging behavioral issues. I have worked with many types of dogs, of all ages and temperaments, and feel comfortable working with older dogs and those who may need medication or other specific care needs. I can also care for cats and reptiles!

These could include things like fencing, traffic and other conditions to be aware of in your neighborhood, your dogs general physical health, and off limits areas in your home or neighborhood.

Gabe was great with our two dogs. They sent daily pictures and the house was very clean when we returned.

Gabe was so kind and has a really calm demeanor. They sent me pictures and did such an incredible job watching my girl Edie! I'll definitely be requesting Gabe again.

Gabe took great care of our home as well as our dog Mojo. He even took him to the vet when Mojo wasn't quite being himself after getting into some chicken bones. Would definitely book again.

Gabe took good care of our anxious pup, Winnie. They were prompt in communication, shared daily photos and updates, and gave us great peace of mind during our long weekend away. Thank you, Gabe!
