Safety, trust & environment

Since my apartment is fairly small and my dog at home is a bit reactive to new dogs, I likely wouldn't be able to house any large dogs. However, I am happy to commute anywhere or stay the night to watch a dog!

Information Gapilan S. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know if your dog has any special requirements, health issues, or behavioral quirks that would be helpful. I am happy to accommodate as long as I know what I'm getting into!

A typical day

I love to play with dogs, and will do anything that gets them stimulated and excited! Whether it's a sniffari, run, or playing fetch, I'm happy to do it all.

Pet care experience

I love getting to care for, walk, and meet dogs of any kind! I didn't have pets growing up and would love to get to spend time with my friends pets, and eventually started watching them and babysitting dogs, whether it's a drop-in or walk around the neighborhood! I recently fostered and adopted my own senior beagle and love her very much, and have learned a lot about training dogs and taking care of senior dog needs.

Super communicative and flexible—was able to accommodate my late request! Oscar was happy to get his midday walks in with Gapilan :)

Gapilan was super communicative and was willing to do a meet and greet ahead of time. He was excellent with my two dogs and very attentive to their specific needs. He shared updates from the walk and also afterwards. Would recommend him in a heartbeat. Thank you 🙏🏽

We love Gapilan for our dog! He’s always on time and consistently provides updates and photos, which gives me so much peace of mind. My dog adores him — she gets so excited every time she sees him! She’s extremely strong and stubborn, but he has no issues controlling her on walks. It’s clear he’s confident and experienced with large dogs. He’s also fantastic with training and redirecting her when she barks at other dogs, which is not easy due to her size. Honestly, there’s no one else I trust with my dog. I can’t recommend Gapilan enough!
