Safety, trust & environment

My dog is a dogs dog, so if your dog needs a friend she’s more than willing to help provide some company. I will make sure to go at your dogs pace, only doing what they are comfortable with.

Information Gabriela V. would like to know about your pet

My dog can be very particular about what she likes and doesn’t like. So if your dog is the same please feel free to send me all those details. I want to make sure your dog is happy and comfortable.

A typical day

Depending on your dogs energy level, I love going on long walks with dogs. Whether it’s in the neighborhood or on a hike. It all depends on your dogs needs. We will also do enrichment exercises, I often hide treats in the living room and let their noses lead the way. We can also play fetch and tug of war if they’re up for the challenge.

Pet care experience

My very first job was being the neighborhood dog walker, I made my little signs and before you knew it I had 8 dogs in rotation. I’ve walked and babysat all kinds of dogs. Now as a dog owner myself the love has only grown stronger.

Gabriela is extremely flexible and takes great care of my dog and it is evident. She follows all instructions and gives a great report from each walk, coming from a helicopter dog mom!

Gabriela has been great with taking my dog on his walks and feeding him while I'm at work on long days. Very communicative and reliable 😊
