Pet care experience

For my kindergarten career day I showed up as a vet. After that, I became the kid in the house that would constantly be "adopting" new animals. It goes without saying that I've always been an animal lover. This led me to study and graduate with a bachelors in animal science. Throughout my bachelors I was a foster parent for my university's pre veterinary and pet rescue group. During this time I fostered dozens of pets (cats and dogs). After graduating I developed an entered in conservation and my career path shifted to the study of wildlife conservation. However I worked for 3 years as a veterinary technician while I continued to pursue my career in conservation. Two of these years were at a pet veterinary clinic and one year was as a wildlife rehabilitation of migratory birds. Right now I have beautiful 3 year old tabby cat who is not a queen but a "Khaleesi". However I thought I'd share the love since she's so spoiled. I know that even with my academic and professional experience I'm more than prepared but as a pet parent myself and a veterinary technician I understand that no matter how safe they are, we still worry. So why choose me? My intention is to be someone relatable, dependable and approachable to my clients. The goal is to make you as a pet parent and your pet as comfortable as possible. Hope to hear from you and feel free to reach out with any questions!

Gabriel is great! He was super communicative and on time, and most importantly Daisy loved him! Will definitely use him again for dog walking

Gabriel is awesome in every way! He is very polite, thoughtful, and courteous, and he really went above and beyond to help our dog (an older rescue with a troubled past) feel safe and comfortable. He was also mindful of and followed all of our instructions and sent regular updates with photos. We will definitely book with Gabriel again!

Safety, trust & environment

At your location I will adhere to any requests or methods you have as long as it's a safe environment. At my location your pet will be under my care and sometimes interact with my partner who is also a veterinary technician. My 3 year old female cat (Khaleesi) lives with me on and off. She's and inside cat that goes on walks, has outside monitored time and is very pampered overall. All vaccines up to date, takes flea prevention monthly and is spayed. Whether you're open to our pets playing together and/or sharing space is up to you. Khaleesi is used to other pets both dogs and cats. They can be separated and sometimes will be regardless since just like people some animals just aren't meant to get along. All of these things will be discussed before on you agreeing on my services. The point is for you to feel comfortable.

Information Gabriel F. would like to know about your pet

If you have any preferences on times, snacks, toys and activities. Other than that any medical history that I should know in order to be aware during the time that I watch over your pet.

A typical day

Since my cat was a kitten, we've dedicated a lot of time to her. Thanks to that, today she's a very outgoing and adventurous cat. She goes out on walks with her little harness, goes to the beach, swims and even goes on car rides and grocery trips. She travels occasionally travels with us. Just like her, I'll dedicate my time to your pet and will go above and beyond to follow your routine.

I'm currently employed and will only offer my services as long as it doesn't conflict with working hours. Meaning that if I accept your request, your pet will have all of my time and attention. Open to house sitting during work days as long as we agree on everything and both parties are on the same page.
