About Gabriel L.

Safety, trust & environment

Working in a shelter environment I often met many animals at their lowest when they were beyond scared and upset. I got exposure to many dogs and cats that were horribly unadapted to life around people and had personalities on either end of the spectrum. I am more than comfortable with animals that are more aggressive in both appearance and personality and was frequently tasked with retrieving abandoned or lost animals using the company van.

Information Gabriel L. would like to know about your pet

I'm comfortable with all temperaments, personalities, and energy levels. Just let me know what their needs are and I will meet them. I'm comfortable with administering medication as that was one of my daily job duties when working in a shelter.

A typical day

I love to play with animals both as an active or inactive participant depending on their needs. Walks are honestly the best way for me to keep myself and the animals around me in shape

I love pets of any shape and size!

Pet care experience

I worked full time for a shelter and loved working with every animal there. Meeting them at their level so that their needs were completely fulfilled was my passion. Whether they were high or low energy, dim or bright, friendly or not, I thrived on figuring out what would make the the most adoptable and what would make them most comfortable in the harsh shelter environment. It was a difficult and demanding job at times especially when I needed to provide first aid or medication/therapy for ailing animals but I always enjoyed coming home knowing I did something that meant something to those parent-less pets. I also had the lovely opportunity to work the social media for the shelter and take photos and videos of each animal to best display their personalities to the wider public who wouldn't normally see them otherwise.

Gabe is so good with animals! The first time over to my house, all my dogs flocked immediately to say hi🥰(they tend to be nervous with new people but felt comfortable enough to come and greet). Not afraid of responsibility and very reliable. I have only a few people I trust with my animals and Gabe is certainly one of them. 10 out of 10 would recommend!😁

I cannot recommend Gabriel highly enough for anyone looking for someone to care for their pets. Gabriel is truly one of the most compassionate, patient, and caring people I know when it comes to animals. They have a natural ability to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved, no matter their personality or needs. Gabriel is the kind of person who treats every animal as if it were their own. They are attentive, dependable, patient, and completely dedicated to the welfare and happiness of the animals in their care. They genuinely understand that every pet is different and deserves kindness, patience, and individualized attention. If you are looking for someone you can trust with your pets, I would choose Gabriel without hesitation. They would provide not only excellent care, but genuine love and attention. I have absolutely no doubt that any pet entrusted to them would be in wonderful hands!
