Safety, trust & environment

I make sure to give the animal as much love and attention as I give my own animals, which is quite a lot. I have always spoiled my animals as much as I can. When scolding them I do not touch them. I will clap and make a "nuh-uh" noise and this tends to usually catch their attention. I try and make sure my animals stay on a routine so they never feel forgotten, lost, or confused.

Information Gabi E. would like to know about your pet

It is really important to know a dog's routine as it can make changes easier and not as confusing. If the dog needs any vitamins or medication, and how the medication is given. As well as knowing if the dogs have any medical problems to be aware of. Any feeding instructions are also very important. If your dog is sensitive to something or has something to comfort them that is also helpful to know to make them feel as comfortable as possible.

A typical day

If there is a hike close by I would love to go on a hike with a dog. I think it's really important they get to go to new places to investigate. If your dog enjoys water and is allowed in the water I have a pool to play with them in. During a hot day, this is also great for them. My house has a big yard where I love to play fetch with the dogs. Playing tug of war is also always fun. When we aren't playing I am almost always loving the dog. I tend to cuddle and pet my dogs as much as I can.

Animals make me feel comfortable!

Pet care experience

I have always had at least one dog at a time growing up. I've had dogs that were 200lbs to 50lbs. Growing up I cared for a bunny, a ferret, multiple exotic fish, 2 cats, a frog, and 4 dogs. Growing up in Texas I walked the neighbor's dogs and one ferret. I have applied to work at animal rescue shelters along with working in veterinary clinics. My last job was working at a doggy daycare center/boarding for dogs, cats, and exotics. At this job, I bathed, monitored, fed, played, and most importantly loved the animals. I have been on and off babysitting and walking my grandmother's hyper goldendoodle since he was a month old. Currently, I have 2 medium-sized goldendoodles, a whites tree frog, and a persian.

Gabi is a great dog walker. She handles my two reactive pups with ease! I would absolutely recommend her and plan to use her services again in the future.

Gabi is wonderful with my two pups, who can be a bit of a handful. I highly recommend her as a dog walker.
