Canines are my spirit animal

Pet care experience

Have taken care of friends’ dogs for almost 5 years, figure I’d make some money while doing something that i find thoroughly enjoyable. Am very patient with dogs and always make sure i get a feel for how they are before anything else. I consider myself a huge dog person and always look to connect with the dog and find it a good strategy to have a good and stable dynamic. I am absolutely opposed to force or aggression when it comes to taking care of animals and always allow the dog to be itself no matter what. Positive reinforcement is a must when taking care of pets as well as constant interaction and excercise. My availability is fluid and open and am willing to invest time in your pet.

Gabe was fantastic with my sweet, anxious pup, Leila. I had to leave her by herself for much longer than usual, and Gabe came by a few times over the holidays to take her out and let her get some fresh air. He scheduled a meet-and-greet for everyone to get to know each other and was super communicative while he was here and between visits. Leila ended up being too shy and nervous to walk with a new person right away, but Gabe still spent time keeping her company and giving her lots of pets and love and making sure she got to go to the bathroom before he left. Would definitely book with Gabe again!

Gabriel was excellent care of my Blue Chihuahua and Spinone Italiano. He dressed them with the coats I provided for rainy weather. He sent me pictures of them as they were about to go out dressed for the inclement weather. Further, Gabriel sent me daily text updates. I recommend him highly

I would take care of the pet either in the morning or during my lunch break. If not then it would be after I log off work at 530. There would be no issues or concerns with your personal not getting the care it needs.
