Safety, trust & environment

I try to prioritize the dog's necessities and comfort. I feed them on a consistent schedule (twice per day), take them on long or short walks four times a day, and play games such as tug-of-war or fetch, weather allowing. I keep dogs cool by playing games indoors, especially during the hot afternoon's summer months.

Information Gabriel S. would like to know about your pet

It is essential to know if they are friendly and okay around other dogs, if they are afraid of anything, and if they are friendly around children or strangers. What is the dog's energy level? Is it energetic or more relaxed and chill?

A typical day

On a typical day, I would let the dogs out to use the restroom, prepare their breakfast, and then take them for a morning walk around the neighborhood. In addition, I would play fetch/catch or tug of war. Check the water before I leave. In the afternoon I would come once or twice. I would check the water, walk them, and give them play time by throwing the ball and playing fetch or tug-of-war outside when the temperature is cooler; I can also brush them and give them tons of affection. In the evening, I would check their water while making their dinner and give them one final walk. If they like music, I will put something on that is relaxing and provide tons of attention before leaving.

Pet care experience

What sets me apart from other sitters is the depth of my experience. I have a lot of experience in training puppies, including potty training and simple commands such as sitting. I have cared for two dogs, a large mixed breed for eleven years and a chihuahua beagle for four. In addition to caring for my dogs, I have also simultaneously dog-sat for friends and neighbors, taking on responsibilities such as walking them and administering medicine. I have experience with energetic and large dogs (my neighbor's labradors in particular), and I can keep them close despite their strength and energy.

Gabe is reliable, good natured, enthusiastic, and a super-fan of all creatures in the animal kingdom (four legged and otherwise). His dog walking and pet sitting skills are top drawer, as evidenced by the fact that our crazy old curmudgeon of a dog has become a card carrying member of the Gabe Admiration Society.
