Pet care experience

Your dog's best friend

I was raised by a vet who would take care of a variety of animals including dogs in our home so I have a lifetime of experience communicating and caring for them. I have generally been able to get even the most aggressive, timid and fearful dogs to warm up to me eventually with no issues. I also know how to safely break up dog fights, but more importantly, I know how to keep an eye out for signs to prevent them in the first place. I have experience caring for blind dogs, sick dogs, physically disabled dogs, puppies, seniors, and even dogs that think they are cats! I love being active so if your dog is high energy, then we are a perfect match.

Gabriel has been walking my dog at least 4 weeks while I recover from surgery. He has been a blessing! Very reliable and thoughtful. My Molly really looked forward to her walks with Gabriel.

Gabriel is great with communicating details about my dog’s walks. My pup loves going out with him and is good and tired when he gets home! You’d be lucky to have Gabriel take care of your pets.

Gabriel has been walking my dogs for a couple months now. He’s always reliable, on time (or updates me if late), flexible with times and is readily available for last minute help! definitely trust my dogs are in good hands with him. Would recommend over and over!

I am so thankful for Gabriel. He keeps my pup Janet when I travel for work, and she just loves him! He is punctual, and I never have to worry when she's with him. 10/10 would recommend.

My 3 dogs love Gabriel. They only show that happyness when either my wife or I, the owners, get close to them. I can tell by the way they react, once he arrives. To me, this means that he not only takes good care of them, but also play and treat them with love.

Gabriel is a long time friend of mine, and he is just wonderful with my puppy Nova. He is an "above and beyond" individual and it really shows in his love for pets. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a sitter for their furry babies.

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I work full time but remote so I have a very flexible schedule during the day and am usually available nights and weekends at any time.

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

I live next door to Washington park and often take my own dog to the fenced in tennis court when they're not in use so he can securely play off-leash.

Pets

A typical day

Tug-o-wars, simple training, fetch, chase-arounds, unlimited cuddles and pettings are just some of the things your dog can look forward to when I stay with them

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
It would be helpful to me to know about how trained they are, if there are any health issues, age, and history (was it a rescue, adoption, pure bred etc)
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
