Happy to be of service!

Welcome, Thank you for your interest. My name is Gabriel, your dedicated pet concierge. "Enabling the ordinary, so you can achieve the extraordinary!" I have had the pleasure of working with pets and their families in WNC for over 10 years. I am committed to expanding my expertise in animal care and am always receptive to new insights, techniques, and communication methods for our beloved companions. To streamline the process, I invite you to schedule a meet and greet at your earliest convenience. I look forward to connecting with you soon. Sincerely, Gabriel Lopez.

Gabe was FANTASTIC!! Our dogs were so relaxed and tired when we got home from our Christmas vacation. Wearing them out is very hard to do. We could tell that they were very taken care of and he was extremely communicative the entire time. Hopefully he will be available when we go on future trips!

Gabriel was fantastic with our pups! We received many updates including videos and photos which always helps when you are away. He kept in contact as we were having travel delays which also made us feel so comforted. And most importantly, we know our dogs loved them - they were happy and content.

Excellent dog sitter! My senior dog loves Gabe and I appreciate the care he took while staying with my boy. Gabe is reliable, professional and a really nice guy. I'll definitely call on Gabe again!

Schedule

Those familiar with me recognize Kira as my cherished companion, and she serves as my inspiration. I am committed to extending the same level of affection and care to your pet when you are unavailable. My daily work schedule fluctuates based on staffing requirements, with typical shifts ranging from 6 to 9 hours. However, I am able to utilize my lunch breaks to check on our pets. Please ensure your pets can be left unsupervised for 4 to 9 hours while I am at work or asleep. I utilize a "KiraLove Cam" equipped with a two-way microphone and high-definition capabilities. I am pleased to provide screenshots of your pet from this camera during their time under my care.

Safety, trust & environment

I reside in a pet-friendly apartment complex located in the South Slope downtown area, with a hiking trail conveniently situated a few blocks away. Having lived in downtown Asheville for 10 years, I have curated optimal routes and secure locations for our pets to enjoy throughout the day until your return.

Pets

A typical day

My clients often enjoy receiving photos with their beloved pets at various locations, such as downtown areas, scenic trails, dog parks, outlet malls, and, on rainy days, the Asheville Mall. Other popular spots include Grandad's Apples, Asheville Yards, Pack Square Park, Montford, and West Asheville. I generally prefer to take leisurely walks on sidewalks away from busy traffic, visit a dog park, or explore a hiking trail.

Are they food motivated? Any food sensitivities? I aim for limited ingredient, all natural, protein packed treats. Are they leash reactive? Can we take car rides? (I have seat belts for them)
