Pet care experience
Fun dog lover 2 give your baby love
I have been a dog parent for the last 10 years. I have experience with dogs with disabilities (my two dogs have 3 legs) and leash-reactive furbabies. As a sitter, I have taken care of all kinds of dogs but prefer a nice temperament if a dog comes to my home so he or she can get along with my own dogs. I am knowledgeable of dog training techniques and are observant of dog behaviors.

Ratings and reviews
Maria walks my two doggies when I have an extra long workday. She's been great - was on time for the initial meetup, and now sends a map a the walk they take, plus pictures and a report card! I am very happy with the peace of mind she brings and will keep booking.
Always wonderful! My pooch and I love Gabby!
Gabby was so kind and gentle with our dog, Grace. Grace really took to her and wistfully watched Gabby leave, the ultimate approval!
Gabby was so great with our dogs - we couldn't have asked for anyone better! I get nervous every time we have to leave them, but as soon as I met Gabby I knew they'd be in great hands! Both of our dogs have their own quirks and can be a little dog (and squirrel!) reactive when on a leash, but she assured us that it wasn't a problem at all! She sent us pictures daily and our dogs always looked perfectly happy and content. She even left two big dog cookies for the dogs when she left - so thoughtful! I would highly recommend Gabby - we certainly plan to use her again!
Gabby is extremely dependable, reliable and compassionate. There's no one else I would try my four-legged family members with! Gabby is a huge animal advocate and my dogs get so excited every time they see her! She loves all animals like they are her own!
Gabby has been a joy to have around my dog. It was clear from the moment she first met my pup that she has a kind soul and an incredible affection for not only dogs, but all animals. My dog can be reactive and sometimes gets very riled up and excited on a walk if he comes across another dog. This behavior can be startling to a walker and can make it difficult to walk him because of that. Gabby is a consummate professional and is knowledgeable of his condition and has demonstrated the capability to react quickly and deescalate if the situation calls for it. Additionally, I have come to learn that she has even rescued two dogs with special needs, herself. Along with having a deep love for animals, she is also extremely organized, reliable and personable. She has been my go-to walker for a while now and I trust her completely. Thanks for all you do, Gabby!

A typical day
I would take your baby on fun walking adventures! It depends on your area but I hope to be able to take them to a park (though not a dog park; had a negative experience with my own dog) so they can enjoy grass and trees.

- I do not have any breed preferences and have experience with all sizes. I would want to know, - Is your dog leash reactive? Do you have a tactic you use? - Can your dog meet other dogs while on our walks? - Does your dog like people and/or children? - Where are all their supplies? - Does the dog take treats during the walk? - Does the dog wear a special collar or harness while on walks? - Is the dog not feeling well on the day of the walk? - Does the dog get scared of construction sites, buses, etc? Is the dog okay walking on main streets or just small ones?
