Pro trainer & veteran animal lover
Pet care experience
I have a 6 y/o dog, a 2 y/o cat, and a 10 week old puppy. I got my oldest pup when she was 13 weeks old. I trained her, as well as friends and family dogs with no experience. I am now a professional dog trainer at a pet store. Working at a pet store, I have the privilege of learning about care of animals such as reptiles, birds, small animals while expanding my knowledge on dog and cat care.
Reviews
Gabrielle is great with animals. She is very patient and kind with your pets. Lilo, my dog, absolutely loves her. I would recommend her anytime.
Gabrielle is a VERY responsible pet owner/caregiver. Their dog Lilo is one of the most well behaved & cared for dogs I’ve ever met. With plenty of experience & knowledge on caring for & training dogs, I completely trust them to take care of our dog Bug whenever we’re out of town.

Gabrielle is amazing! They are responsible, communicative, and they are marvelous with dogs and pups. Their dog is so well trained she won’t step foot in a kitchen unless given permission, no matter whose house she is in! I’ve never seen someone so passionate about caring for and teaching pups and their humans. What’s even more impressive is how well Gabrielle adapts to unforeseen circumstances. I remember evening that there was a pit bull puppy on the side of the road. Gabrielle hoped out and immediately and safely gained his trust which caused two other pups to come out from the bushes. Gabrielle worked with neighbors on that street and eventually got those pups back home safe and sound. Gabrielle also watched Stella, 120 pounds of pure uncut golden retriever who had basically no training as a pup. Gabrielle worked with Stella over a few weeks and was able to VASTLY improve Stella’s behavior. This is doubly impressive when you consider that this dog is not the sharpest knife in the drawer but was still able to improve.

Safety, trust & environment
I grew up in the mountains and have found an amazing peace in walking around the way. Most of my pups walks are done on a hike through the woods but we frequent the sidewalks so she can get spoiled with attention. Safety and the well being of health is my top priority in every aspect of life. Past that my top priority with pets are building a loving and trusting bond as well as training. I make sure they get plenty of exercise, whether it’s a laser pointer on a rainy day or a hike up the mountain on a sunny one. I keep food, toys, treats, water, and beds with me practically everywhere I go to make sure they’re never wanting. I genuinely just want to give animals everything they deserve and more.
Information Gabrielle M. would like to know about your pet
Any medical related information ( vaccines, vet contact, allergies, medicines ), feeding regime, and a brief summary of any triggers, irritants, or past behavioral upsets. Otherwise any favorite items, games, music etc
A typical day
I enjoy taking walks or going on hikes for exercise if playing fetch in a field / yard isn’t an option. I also enjoy training pups as well as providing mental stimulation and teaching them games to play.
