dogs are perfect!
Pet care experience
I grew up with a dog and recently fostered a dog. I am careful to pay attention to dog body language and behavior patterns and know that every dog has a different personality and different needs.
Reviews
As her roommate, I've witnessed first-hand how caring Glo was with a rescue that she fostered. The dog was able to quickly adapt to the new environment because of her patience and attention. Glo is an absolute dog lover who will make sure your dog feels right at home.
Gloria brings loving care and an even-keeled approach to being with dogs. When she fostered a dog who had some prior trauma, she was able to help the dog adjust relatively quickly and overcome the stressors by providing much love and care, and also by being incredibly patient. This dog even was able to be taught some tricks by Gloria too. She never raises her voice around dogs and she's very capable of being firm yet gentle with them.
Gloria is a caring and patient dog sitter. She has fostered a dog in the past that was previously untrained and anxious, but came to be a happy and well trained dog under Gloria’s care and was adopted quickly. Gloria has also grown up around dogs and is comfortable with many different types of dogs.
I unreservedly recommend Gloria. She is a thoughtful and attentive dog-lover, who will do everything possible to ensure the dogs in her care are happy, well-loved, and fully provided for. Many people love dogs, but Gloria's patient attitude and responsible mindset set her a cut above and make her a truly wonderful dog sitter. She grew up with dogs, intuitively knows how to act around dogs, and has experience fostering a high-need rescue dog. I've personally witnessed the remarkable way her care transformed a timid and nervous rescue into a sweet and loving pet. You'll be hard-pressed to find a more trustworthy and caring dog sitter.

I live in an apartment and don't have any pets of my own. I am comfortable crating a dog if required and ensure that i am tightly holding the leash when outside with dogs.
Information Gloria L. would like to know about your pet
It would be important for me to know if the dog feels about strangers, other dogs, etc, or has any specific triggers or dislikes. In addition, what are favorite things the dog enjoys.
A typical day
We could walk around lake merritt, go to point isabel dog park or the cesar chavez dog park, people watch at outdoor coffee shops, go on hikes, play fetch
