Dog Lover in Mission Valley!

Your dog will love it here! I've been watching dogs for over 15 years. I currently have a Maltese named Sweetie and a Chihuahua mix named Buddy. They both get along well with other dogs and love company! I mostly watch small dogs, but do take most under 30 lbs. We have daily designated play time and we love to go on walks! We live in a great condo community, centrally located in the Mission Valley East/Grantville area. It is surrounded by the San Diego River/Greenbelt. There is alot of grassy area for long walks & areas for lots of sniffing. I have a small fenced in outdoor space also. I am available for boarding, (price is for 24 hours) and doggie daycare (8-10 hours). I have vast experience with many breeds, senior dogs and also those who need medications administered. I will take great care of your doggie and love them just like they're my own!

Gladys took amazing care of our dog Moosli! She's extremely thorough and attentive, writing notes on every relevant detail to taking good care of him. She had a small number of small dogs she was taking care of so Moosli got plenty of socialization and play.

Gladys is very responsive and provides great photo check ins! I had never left my dog with a stranger before and she is a VERY anxious dog so I was extremely nervous. We met Gladys for a meet and greet and she walked us through a questionnaire to understand what Squid needs to be happy which made me feel better. She said squid did great and squid came back healthy and happy as ever! Thank you Gladys, would absolutely recommend!

McDuff had a wonderful and relaxing stay with Gladys. He's the best I've seen him after a week+ absence He wasn't at all stressed out when he came home. I'll surely book with Gladys for my future pet sitting needs. It was a wonderful ending to a fabulous trip in knowing McDuff was so well looked after.
