Gabriel's Dog Retreat
Pet care experience
Hi, my name is Gabriel Gallardo (feel free to look me up on facebook). I am a 21 year old full-time student at the University of Central Florida and am currently unemployed. I am hoping that DogVacay gives me the opportunity to provide unequaled care to pet owners in the area. I am an animal lover and have taken care of family pets since childhood. I am hoping to get hired in order to pay for living expenses while I study and take care of my own pet Orion (Ori).
Reviews
I have two dogs and two cats, I'm usually out on the weekends and once or twice a year on vacation. Gabriel had been taking care of my dogs and cats for a long time now, I do not trust anyone else. Not only he has his experience working in a Vet clinic but he is very detailed oriented and very knowledgeable. I will definitely recommend him to take care of your beloved pets.
In my personal opinion, I can honestly say that Gabriel is the perfect candidate for a great dog sitter. With many personal encounters and experiences, Gabriel is fantastic with dogs. He has a great connection with animals, dogs in specific. His own dog, Orion, is trained extremely well especially at being 5 months old. He is a very polite boy, due to Gabriel's training techniques. I would feel 100% safe with leaving my dogs with Gabriel while I'm on a vacation for a long period of time. I strongly suggest for Gabriel to be considered for a position in this company.
I have had the pleasure of working with Gabriel as his team leader at an animal hospital in Lake Mary. He provided excellent patient care and handling. He always had a positive attitude and worked well with our team. He was able to handle all of our patients even during stressful times. He has so much compassion for animals!!

Like I previously stated; I am an animal lover. I will be completely blunt about it. I love dogs and cats. Although I have had run ins with aggressive cats and dogs, I believe that they are just misunderstood and there is ALWAYS a way to make them open up and better behave. I worked at the Lake Emma Animal Hospital on Primera Blvd. in Lake Mary for months and gained an adequate amount of knowledge before leaving due to their schedule and my studies. So believe me when I say you can trust me to take care of your family member. I also have professional references and contacts at the ready that will also be of help if needed.

Ori is a lab mix which I adopted not too long ago and he has the kindest heart. But his story is far from being a dog’s fairy tale. He was an abused 8 week old puppy when I met him and immediately decided to adopt him. He is now living the life of his dreams with me, I don't believe he could be any happier. He is very well trained puppy who is very athletic who always wants to run up to other dogs to play with them. At the same time I’ve been able to teach him obedience and he does not go away running unless I tell him its okay. He is trained with food temptation and always waits until I give him the OK to eat. I may not be a professional dog trainer, but I have been studying the art of association along with positive and negative reinforcements with dogs. I am familiar with terms like classic conditioning and other similar terms used in the training of dogs and I am confident I can put them to good use if hired. I walk Ori three or more times a day and feed him the appropriate amount of food daily; and always reward him when he behaves as expected. This form of reward can be at times in the form of some cooked chicken or a bowl of rice with veggies. There is a dog-friendly park right next to my house that as long as pets are up to date on vaccines and not aggressive or known to run away, can be used freely by dogs to run around and play fetch with them.
