Availability

I recently lost my beloved dog; I'm unemployed and my kids go to school fulltime. I do not believe I am ready, or will ever be ready, to own another dog for at least a while. However, I am lonely without my pet companion and have so much love, care and affection to give. I would love to share that with a pet to fill my empty void.

Information Gloria Z. would like to know about your pet

It's important to know about a dogs temperment towards unfamiliar surroundings/people, if they're friendly with other dogs/types of pets, dietary needs/restrictions, medication needs. It's also vital to know whether or not the dog is potty trained and whether it's pad-trained, for emergencies.

A typical day

I am available to take my fur-client to the local dog parks, provided the pet is registered and completely up to date with all required vaccinations.

I love pets more than I love people

Pet care experience

I've had pets since I was 4; I've yet to meet a dog that hasn't liked me. I have cared for dogs from puppy stage to senior stage. Not a lot that I haven't seen or personally experienced.

Gloria is awesome. Very attentive to the dogs gave them lots of love and attention and kept me fully updated with messages pictures and videos.

Gloria was terrific with my two dogs. One is a rescue and can be skittish, but was comfortable with Gloria within the first few minutes of meeting. My other dog has special needs as a cardiac patient, and she was so attentive to his medications and limitations. I could tell from the video and pics that she sent throughout their stay that they were both doing great. So reassuring. I’d recommend Gloria and use her again for boarding.

Gloria was wonderful to our sweet girl. You could tell how loving she was from the moment she met Reese. She communicated beautifully sending updates and pictures to put my mind at ease. Will definitely be using her again if we are back in the area!
