Information Gabriel N. would like to know about your pet

Customized Care for Every Pet I know every pet is unique, and we want to ensure we provide the best care possible! To tailor our services to your pet’s needs, I’ll ask for detailed information, including: • Daily Routine: Feeding schedules, exercise preferences, and playtime activities. • Health Information: Medications, allergies, or special dietary needs. • Behavioral Notes: Temperament, likes and dislikes, and any quirks we should know about. • Emergency Protocols: Your preferred vet, emergency contacts, and any special instructions. • Household Rules: Where your pet is allowed (or not), bedtime routines, and commands they know.

A typical day

Fun and Enriching Activities for Your Pets We love keeping pets happy and engaged! Here are just a few of the fun activities we offer: • Dogs: Playtime with fetch or tug-of-war, long walks in safe areas, and plenty of belly rubs and cuddles. For active pups, we’re happy to incorporate extra exercise or even teach a new trick! • Cats: Interactive play with toys like feathers or laser pointers, cozy lap time for snuggles, and plenty of chin scratches to keep them purring. • Small Animals & Reptiles: Enrichment activities like rearranging their habitat for exploration, gentle handling, and offering treats or fresh veggies (with your approval). • Fish: Peaceful care to keep their tank clean and their feeding routine consistent. Dogs will be Created when I am not home or am asleep..

Oxford’s Animal Companion

Pet care experience

I’ve been around animals my whole life. I got my first cat at 3 years old. Then I trained dogs competitive in Obedience, Showmanship and Agility as a Child and Teenager. My years of animal handling experience allows me to be engaging with animals without overstimulating them, creating a trusting and loving animal-caretaker relationship. I Owned 2 dogs and 1 cat as adult. Familiar with senior animal care and medication administration. Experience with Puppies. Looking to take care of Animals on my Off time from the Miami U. Libraries. I work full time, year round at MU. I am generally always around Oxford area!! Boarding Key Facts: I have .6 of an acre to walk dogs. Dogs are generally crated when I am not home. Dogs from different households will be separated at all times. Dogs are crated in climate controlled areas. I can check on animals every four hours during the work week and am home full time on weekends.

Gabriel did great! He was able to watch all 3 of my dogs with only a weeks notice. He sent me daily updates and pictures which helped put my mind at easy since this was the first time I'd ever left my dogs anywhere. My dogs were in great condition and happy when I picked them up. Great prices too! I will definitely be using him again!

Our pup Lily looked very comfortable at Gabes place. She is a nervous pup to begin with so it was a relief to see her at ease. I also appreciated the text update with pucture. Thank you Gabe!
