Attentive care, love and affection.

Pet care experience

Greetings. I’ve had a best friend who was with me everyday for 15 years. I was with her from the beginning to the end. I am sensitive to the needs of our dogs and always very aware of our surroundings. I’m ultra aware of the cayotes up here and all their tricks. With the new smells and distractions for some dogs that are not from here I always feel safer to keep them on leash during our walks. I live alone in a quiet cabin on a quiet street, no traffic and no neighbors. Big fenced back yard and a small gated front porch. I know all the trails in Sierra track as well as the whole area. I’m very flexible and will take care of all the little things that are needed and the unexpected ones that pop up. I know how stressfull it can be traveling and then leaving your best friend with someone. I will communicate with you and make it easy and stress free. It’s a big adjustment not having my sweet girl Francis. I was so used to waking up and she was there, or coming home and she was sitting in my spot waiting for me. Honestly this is good for me having a dog around. It’s helping with this process I’m going through.

Gabriel was very kind and helpful. He walked Daisy and had a fenced backyard to allow for playtime. Gabriel was communicative via text during Daisy’s stay which we appreciated.

My dog Francis was a little attached. Maybe loyal is a better word. I was very lucky with her and didn’t have to worry too much. But I learned to never ever let anything happen to her. Very aware of our environment. Cars, other dogs, cayotes, bees , bodies of water and all weather conditions, hot pavement and even to always avoid the drains/grates in the roads ect. I’m not disactred by my phone or anything else. I’ll only feed what the owner approves.

Information Gabriel O. would like to know about your pet

My dog passed away last week so this is as much for me as for the owner. I rescued her as a pup and was with her to the very last breath

A typical day

Lots of scratches first thing and a slow morning rise with coffee and then some good sniffs on a quiet safe walk before most people wake up. Water breaks and critter watching. Short drives with the window down if we are going somewhere. Typical house chores and then maybe watch a little tv and then most importantly a good nap. Not much goes on here so it’s easy going. No visitors or people stopping by. Quiet and safe just the way I like it.

These prices are for one dog. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.

Availability

I am very flexible and available almost anytime and on short notice if life happens. I know how that goes. I know the trails and areas to go that are safe and fun. Im an early riser, and I enjoy mornings walks when it’s nice and quiet with no traffic or crowds of people. I have no problem with taking the pup with me in the car to run a quick errand or even better a day trip somewhere. Some dogs love car rides with the window down and nose out. And some do not. It’s all optional, absolutely no problems leaving him or her at home while I’m out for a sec. I primarily work from home and would be with him/her almost all the time.
