Caring and Patient Dog Lover
Pet care experience
I have loved playing with and caring for dogs my whole life. When visiting my grandparents, I greatly enjoyed playing and hiking with their dogs. As their dogs grew older, I learned about the special care needed for senior dogs. Seven years ago, we got our own dog. I learned first-hand the joy and responsibility that comes with caring for a puppy. I happily played a key role in walking, training, and feeding. In high school, I started my own successful dog walking/sitting business and developed a loyal client base that included dogs of varying ages and breeds. As a college student, I have missed spending time with dogs. Whether it is for a long walk, a drop-in visit, or an overnight stay I would love to get to know your dog.
Reviews
Gabriel is a wonderful caregiver for my two dogs. He was always on time, responsive, and most of all took great care of my pups. I have one 11 year old who is very easy going and a 2 year old who is not. Gabriel was able to connect with both quickly. The best part for me was I knew I did not have to ever worry about my pups when I was away. Thanks Gabriel for all you do!
My gal, Mika, can be an angel sent straight from heaven or a zoomy little maniac. With Gabriel, she is all angel all the time. Gabriel has one of the things I don't find in a lot of dog walkers: a calming energy. A lot of walkers are super high energy, which is great, but Gabriel has the perfect combo of calm and playful so he brings out the best in dogs. He brings out Mika's confidence and chill so there is no anxiety or aggression. Gabriel has always been very professional but the most important thing he offers me is knowing that my special girl will be happy at his side. Thanks, Gabriel!
Gabriel is a wonderful dog sitter and provided excellent service! We found him to be responsible and reliable and took great care with our dog while we were away. We appreciate his quick response to communication and flexibility in scheduling. We are very pleased with his care and attentiveness with our dog and would be happy to highly recommend him!
Gabriel is simply the best dog walker ever. He walked our dog Roscoe twice a day over the course of several months while I was recuperating from two knee surgeries. We could always depend on him to show up at our house on time and ready to go. Gabriel was even happy to help us out with little notice in a couple of emergencies. He was always genuinely happy to be walking Roscoe, and Roscoe was thrilled to see Gabriel. Gabriel would lean over to get Roscoe's kiss. It warmed our hearts to see them together. We trust Gabriel completely, and we really miss him now that we are in living in CA.

Availability
I am a student at American University. I do not have classes on Wednesday and Thursday and only one class on Monday so I have a lot of flexibility those days. On Tuesdays and Fridays I have some time in the morning and evening. I have lots of availability on weekends.
