Sorry that my dog puns are so corgi

Pet care experience

I absolutely, love dogs! I was born in San Francisco, Colliefornia, and grew up the youngest of six. Each of my family's pets have taught me something about myself. At the age of ten, I raised a German Shepherd-Chow, who taught me patience, being calm and assertive under pressure, and being willing to learn something new (whoever said old dogs can't learn new tricks, never met my first dog Sparky). My favorite pooch was King Kong, a Pitbull-Boxer rescue, who taught me everything I ever needed to know about compassion, purr-severance (you thought I only did dog puns, didn't you?), and to never judge a book by its cover. Doges always know when something is up, and when someone takes themselves too seriously - which is why I look forward to taking care of your pup, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable.

Gabe was a great sitter for our dog, Olive. Just prior to her stay with him, our dog had a minor medical issue that required treatment throughout her stay. Gabe could not have done a better job taking care of her, providing her medication and changing bandages while we were away. I would definitely re-book with him.

Gabe is the BEST!! Lincoln had doggie daycare with him and I could tell he came home very happy. I loved all the pictures Gabe sent me throughout the day! We will definitely be doing daycare with Gabe in the future!

Gabriel is great with our pup. Our pup is a little difficult but Gabriel was up for the challenge and now they are best friends. Highly recommend for any pup!

Gabriel was absolutely the best dog sitter I could ever imagine. He was on time, responsible, attentive to the needs of my dog, and sent us tons of photos. More important than that, Gabriel is a warm, friendly, good natured person with a heart of gold. I trust him and will use him again in a heartbeat. Thanks Gabriel! Leo loves you!

Information Gabriel A. would like to know about your pet

What are some of their quirks, things you're working on with them, any fun toys they really like, habits, and routines. What makes them nervous, loud sounds, quick movements, etc? Do they play well with other dogs, humans, or kids? Most importantly, what is their routine?

A typical day

If your dog stays at my place, I can take them on long walks, tours of the monuments, a walk along the mall, around the Wharf, and two dog parks nearby. I am also happy to chill with them inside our cozy condo, or outside in our courtyard. I can also play games and get your dog to do tricks.
