Pet care experience

I have had many dogs growing up, and currently have a fur baby that I adore. I trained her in less than a week of adding her to my family, when she was about 7 weeks old, and I taught her to be potty trained, sit, shake, and other tricks. I'm a dog lover, as well as cats, so I feel that making a job out of doing this would be great for me since I work from home full-time. I have always given dogs the full attention and love that they need, and give special attention to each ones that need special care. I am an active person, so taking them on walks frequently everyday is never a problem, unless requested otherwise for their certain needs, and also I take them on potty breaks every couple of hours so they can get activity and walk around my big yard. I have watched dogs for my family members, neighbors, friends, and also through this app. I love taking them outside to play and letting them walk/play in the yard, and always keep a leash on them, so you can feel safe about their care during their stay. I have had experience watching multiple sized animals, as far up to 150 pounds, as well as a variety of age ranges, from Puppies/Kittens to older animals, over the years. My current dog, Roxi, is a terrier mix. She weighs about 40 pounds and is about knee height. I've had her for 5 years now, and she is a very sweet dog, although she can initially come off as overprotective of me because she gets a little jealous at first (due to having to share my love), but she warms up to other animals very quickly when staying with us because I do give equal attention to all of the animals that I sit for and treat them like my own! She becomes best friends with any animals she meets, and by the end of the stay, she misses them as soon as they are picked up or dropped off! I work full-time from home, so I do have plenty of free time to properly provide the care, attention, and any requirements/needs that that each dog/cat needs and requires, so your fur babies will always have constant attention and enjoy their stay with me! I typically keep gates up to prevent them from entering certain parts of my house unless I am there with them, such as the basement and upstairs, so there won't be an accidents, but other than that they will have a spacious area to roam and play freely, indoors and outdoors! I can assure you that your pet/s will have a great stay with me, and any special requirements and needs they have will be met!

Gabrielle has kept my dogs while I have been out of town. She is very good with the both of them. I e seen her interact several times with her dog and she absolutely adores her. I would recommend using her again.

Information Gabrielle H. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know any medical issues, special needs that they have, daily routines that make them feel comfortable, eating schedules, etc., if they have any!

A typical day

I live next to a park, so walks would be great in my area. Depending on their activity level, and also whatever their favorite activity is, I do have plenty of toys they can play with indoors or outdoors! I can do walks and runs with them, and I'm able to accommodate any daily routines they may have. I have a dog also, named Roxi, and she's a very friendly and playful dog, so they would have a great time together! If you want to do a meet and greet to introduce them before you decide if you would want me to watch your fur baby's, we can absolutely do that.
