Gloria is the consummate animal professional! She has worked with animals her entire life and dedicated countless hours of service to dogs, guinea pigs, hamsters, chinchillas, frogs, birds, and more. She loves animals more than anything in the world and it is apparent from the second she interacts with one - she's a true "dog person"! I personally trust her to care for my special needs dog (deaf) and feel confident knowing my dog will not suffer while i'm away. Gloria provides plenty of attention and playtime - and she has been known to bake a chicken for a special doggie treat atop their dinner! As someone who will never have kiddos and works from home with my dog all day/everyday - I can't say enough about how nice it is to have someone on call who will care for my dog as well (or better!) than I do myself. Highly recommended!
