About: In college I house and dog sat for many professors during holidays and breaks! I’ve also taken care of my family’s cats and dogs since I was a little girl! I was always in charge of feeding, walking, bathing, and changing the litter! I have a very flexible schedule that I can adjust to cater to pet care needs! I can work with pet owners to make a plan that works for them! I am happy to walk, play with, and/or watch pets ad with as much care and attention as their owners. If there are any special needs, I am very capable of following directions and providing quality pet care.

About: ❤️😻🐶❤️🐾I’ve been an animal lover my whole life!! I was a dog walker for one year, but there was too much driving involved everyday so I had to stop unfortunately. The pet sits I’ve done since then and now have been through close friends, not Rover, which may explain the little history I have on this app, but I have a lot more experience in real life. Thank you. I truly cherish any time that I get with a furry friend because they are so inherently loving and pure. I’m a fan of Ceasar Milan’s work and have learned a lot from him about animal communication and training. My best skill is being loving. I bring a calm and peaceful energy that works well with most animals. I can also be energetic and active if that is what is needed as well. I’m the person who might go to a party, but you’ll find me tucked away with the animals in the house hanging out with them instead! 😂 I’ve been a dog walker, and have sat for many different cats and dogs of my friends who unfortunately are not on Rover, but any one of them would vouch for me! I’m available most mornings and evenings because I’m working part time at 2 jobs that have varying and flexible schedules. I would love to sit for your pets on the weekends. And, if you are local to Albany, I can drop in several times during the day. I am respectful of each pet's and clients varying needs. Directions I will easily follow, and go above and beyond any way that I can! I being a loving and peaceful attitude to all environments I work in, you can believe your pet(s) will be in great hands..

“Gabriella is a responsible dog owner. She is the present owner of two beautiful dogs and two others in the past. She has often assisted us caring for dogs along with her mother in law and sister in law’s dogs. She is loving and caring and is a wealth of information about dog behavior and illnesses. Gabriella always puts safety first. She would be an invaluable employee as she is punctual, dependable and smart!! I would not hesitate to recommend Gabriella!”
