Enrishment is so important important for ll pets! I am a strong believer in enrichment and would love to keep your pet mentally and physically stimulated! For dogs, walks are great but sometimes just aren't enough for our ever energetic furry friends! I will provide a range of toys like balls, frisbees and toys for your dog to enjoy on their walk or in the yard! However, mental stimulation is just as important! With your permission I would love to provide pet parent approved enrichment with snuff rugs, puzzles and lick mats that not only keep your dog entertained but will keep them mentally stimulated as well! For our feline friends excercise and mental stimulatoin is just as important and I would love to provide cat friendly toys and a pet parent approved lick mat for your feline friend! (All toys, puzzles and mats are supervised for the saftey of your pet as well as the longevity of the material. They are also sanatized thouroughly with pet safe cleaners to ensure the saftey and well being of your companion)

Gabriela is wonderful with my dog Guinness, so much so, that I think he likes her better than me?! Haha! But seriously, she's been the best. Fantastic communication, and I trust her completely.
