Life long dog friend and supporter
Pet care experience
I’m Gabriel and I am a dog person. I grew up with dogs in my home and happily cared for the dogs (and cats) of my roommates, extended family members, and neighbors. I’ve also been the go-to pet sitter for friends, family, and their friends and family! Being a pet sitter is the best way to get to spend time with dogs and use my experience to help pet owners give their animals a loving and responsible companion while they’re away. I understand how hard it is to be away from your pup so I pride myself on being open and communicative, sending photo and text updates so you know your furry friend is safe in my care. I'm professional and kind and will be sure to create a lasting relationship with both you and your pet! Currently, I work and study part time. Some days I’ll be up early and some days I’m in paramedic classes in the evening, but I will always be around for lots of walks, play time, and snuggles! In my free time, I am a seasonal firefighter and EMT. I also like to stay active with a good mix of both physical and mental exercise. Getting out into nature for a hike, sports, or a run is just as important as listening to a podcast and reading! I just love it all. When I’m not getting my exercise, I love to spend time with friends and family cooking a great meal and enjoying conversation!
Reviews
Gabriel always goes above and beyond. We recommend him without hesitation.
Gabriel is so good with our doggies and is also so flexible and responsive. He has a kind heart and is a great person.
Everything went well. Thanks
We are so lucky to have found Gabriel. He is such a kind and trustworthy person who has had a lot of experience with animals. He was able to administer medications for the dogs which is important for us. We have not been able to go away even for 1 night and we finally did while he stayed with our dogs. Having met him before we left and seen how he interacted with our dogs, put our minds at ease and we didn't even worry at all while we were gone. Our two elderly dogs were happy and looked great and we are so looking forward to being able to take more breaks and have Gabriel stay with our dogs.

Information Gabriel J. would like to know about your pet
Before a stay I love to learn a bit more about your pup! What is their normal schedule and routine? Do they have any medical issues or behavioral tendencies that I should know about? What about their favorite treats, toys, and games?
A typical day
On a stay with me, your pup will have fun! I’m from the West Berkeley neighborhood so I love to spend time in the parks and trails around there! I also like heading to Tilden and WildCat Canyon for hikes and jogs! Spending time relaxing on the couch is also one of my favorite activities and I’d love to have your pup join me on any of these fun adventures!
