16 to 40 lbs

I'm currently working and also will be taking one class at university in the Spring. I am more than happy to make trips to and from campus several times a day based on what's requested and/or needed. This could mean a morning walk, afternoon lunch time with a walk, and evening playtime. My schedule is currently relatively flexible, and I have plenty of time.

Safety, trust & environment

While I very much prefer instructions for how best to care for your pets, it seems relatively standard to make sure there is some socialization/play time between walks, feedings, or anything else they may need. I am the primary caregiver for two rescue cats and two rescue dogs in my home. One of my dogs is crate trained and the other is a more shy senior dog. I have a regular walk routine with my pets, and they also get regular play time everyday as well. When it comes to taking care of my own pets, I am intentional in making sure their needs are put before my own.

Information Gabrielle M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if you dogs have any special needs or particular routines that they are used to. I have a preference for senior dogs, but no real preference on breed. I would also love a heads up on how they are on a leash and if I need to be a bit more proactive in finding a more quiet walk route for them to keep them comfortable and calm.

A typical day

I love to let dogs have fun and get their energy out via sniffing all the smells as well as with any toys they prefer. Senior dogs and dogs with special needs (like hip dysplasia) may need to move at a slower pace to protect their joints, but they all love new smells. I wouldn't mind bringing new smells directly to them if they're having a hard time walking to them. Such as bringing a new stick to them from a different area before their usual walk or play time.

Pet care experience

I've grown up around a lot of different pets over the years. Pet sitting for family and friends is also something I have done a lot of since childhood. I'm particularly fond of multi pet homes since I also have a multi pet home. I also lift quite a bit, so I am more than okay with working with heavier pets as well. I have cared for a variety of ages of cats and dogs, some with special needs as well. I very much do not mind cleaning up after pets, and enjoy earning pets' trust when they're a bit more shy. I care very much about animal well being, particularly because I am very picky when it comes to my own pets.

Gabby goes above and beyond to care for her pets. Always making sure they are well taken care of and happy by providing them with everything they could ever want and need. Toys and snackies are a constant item on the grocery list for her pets. Her pets are constantly the center of her attention and I’m sure she’s be able to provide that to any pet she is taking care of.
