Pet care experience

Patient Pet Lover

I’ve taken care of dogs for over 20 years and have had a half dozen dogs of my own. I have a way of relating to animals even when their owners worry they’ll growl they end up being affectionate with me. I am available 7 days a week and my wife and I take care of the pups together! I have a fenced in yard and 3 female pups that welcome all their furry friends to come and play. All of our friends and neighbors with dogs call our home the fun dog camp and there’s often times a play date or sleep over happening. I’m also happy to leash walk dogs! Please note that this is a very active and social environment and the pups play a lot here! If your pup isn’t social, this might not be the most comfortable environment for them to stay. Or they’ll become social after their stay!!!

Gabriel was by far the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. Our dog is small and nervous and Gabriel took amazing care of him, so that he could relax and make friends. We’ll be going back to him forever now.

Ace looked like he had a blast while with Gabe. He sent me pictures and videos over the time he was watching him. I will book with him again in the future.

gabe is great! super attentive with photo updates and texts. maggie hadn’t stayed with a sitter for a couple of years, but she seemed to settle in with gabe and the pack just fine. i love that he has a nice big yard for the dogs to roam and that maggie was allowed on the furniture to snuggle after a day of play.

Gabe was fantastic. My dog Miles had a great time making some new dog friends, and was a super happy doggo. Highly recommended.

Schedule

I now stay home with the pups all day, everyday so I have plenty of time to play with your pups, supply endless fresh spring water and offer nap time when they’re ready for a rest. I’m happy to give them lots of love and attention and make sure that they’re happy here at camp!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard with two sections that can be separated. We close down the back section at night because it’s pretty vast and the only lighting back there is motion activated solar lighting so we have another section to use when it’s dark out so that we can see all the pups!

Pets

A typical day

I love spending time with all dogs and taking them on adventures! Sometimes all dogs together and sometimes one at a time depending on the scenario. I am lucky to live near the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail and take them there where I can access the Shawangunk Ridge. We love to play fetch with sticks and balls in the yard too! And when everyone is tuckered out from the activities it’s time for cuddles!!!

Please let me know if your dog is timid or skittish. It’s important to know how they interact with humans and other dogs so I know how to handle them. I’ll also need to be aware of any food allergies or medicines required if applicable.
