Highlights
Pet care experience
Young professional who loves dogs!
Hi! I’m Gaby, a lifelong dog lover with a background in Animal Science and hands-on experience working with animals. In addition to being a dog owner myself, I’ve volunteered at a local animal shelter, where I’ve cared for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. These experiences have taught me how to be patient, attentive, and compassionate while ensuring every dog feels safe and comfortable. I understand that every dog is unique, so I take the time to learn their routine, walking style, and preferences. Whether your pup enjoys an energetic adventure, a relaxing stroll, or plenty of time to sniff and explore, I’ll make sure they have a fun and enriching experience. As a pet parent, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog. I’ll treat your furry family member as if they were my own and keep you updated with photos and messages after every walk so you can have complete peace of mind. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and genuinely passionate about animal care. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend!

Safety, trust & environment
Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for your pet. I treat every dog as if they were my own and always take the time to understand their routine, personality, comfort level, and any specific instructions from their family. During walks, I focus on keeping your dog safe by using proper leash handling, being aware of our surroundings, and following any preferences you have regarding routes, pace, and interactions with other dogs or people. When entering your home, I will always be respectful of your space and follow your instructions carefully. I understand that trusting someone with your pet and your home is a big responsibility, and I will provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate care every time.

I have had the privilege of knowing Gaby for the past 9 years, and throughout that time we have shared so much of our lives, careers, and our mutual love for animals. Because of that, I can confidently say that she is one of the most caring, compassionate, and selfless people I know. Gaby has a genuine passion for helping animals, especially puppies. She dedicates countless hours of her time, energy, and heart to ensuring they have the best lives possible. Watching her work with these four-legged cuties is truly inspiring. Her patience, dedication, and love shine through in everything she does, and every animal she helps is better off because of her. What I admire most is that her kindness comes naturally. She never hesitates to go the extra mile for an animal in need, and she does it purely out of love and compassion. I am grateful to have witnessed her dedication over the years, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Any puppy fortunate enough to be in her care is in the very best hands.
Gabriela is the biggest animal lover I know. She cares deeply about pets and is the only person I trust to look after my dogs. She is very affectionate, patient, and respectful; furthermore, she possesses great ethics and empathy. My dogs adore her.

Schedule
I am currently working full time. My work environment is hybrid, so I’m mostly working from home. My schedule is flexible and I’m available for weekday walks, with availability during late mornings, afternoons, and early evenings. I’m happy to work with your dog’s routine and find a schedule that works best for both of us.

- To provide the best care possible, I’d love to know about your pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs ahead of time. Important details include their energy level, walking habits, comfort around other dogs or people, leash behavior, triggers, and any medical or mobility concerns. Please also share any preferences you have for routes, pace, treats, or anything that helps your dog feel comfortable and confident during their walk. Every dog is different, and knowing these details allows me to provide a safe and positive experience tailored to them.
