Pet Boarding Galena

About: ✨ Meet & greets available for new clients ✨ Detailed updates with photos & videos ✨ Plenty of playtime, cuddles, and personalized care ✨ 5 years of nursing experience + a lifetime of caring for dogs Hi! I’m Gabriella 🤍 Your dog’s new favorite sitter (and hopefully a new bestie for them). I’ve been a registered nurse for the past five years, and caring for others has always been at the heart of who I am. That same patience, attentiveness, and compassion carries over into how I care for every pet I meet. Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a home with at least three dogs at all times—from gentle Newfoundlands and playful Yorkies to Mastiffs, Golden Retrievers, Poodles, and many more. I’ve helped train many of our family dogs using a variety of training methods and have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Since moving to Columbus a few years ago and getting married, we haven’t welcomed a dog of our own just yet—which means I have plenty of love and attention to give yours! Whether your pup is energetic, shy, anxious, goofy, or a senior who just wants a calm companion, I take the time to get to know them and help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I also have experience with house sitting, boarding, walks, feeding, medication administration, and caring for pets with different routines and needs. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member, so I’ll always treat your dog like they’re one of my own. My goal is simple: for you to enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, safe, loved, and in caring hands. You’ll always receive consistent communication, adorable photos, and honest updates, so you never have to wonder how your best friend is doing. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! 🐾🤍 I’m currently working 32 hours a week. I’m free on Wednesday’s completely. I have evenings available (except Thursday) and I’m available on weekends. I’m an early riser, so if you need someone as early as 6:30am I’m your girl! Times gone: Monday 10-6 (work) Tuesday 8:30-4 (work Thursday 8:30-4 (work) Friday 8:00-4 (work) Sunday 10-12 (church) I will treat your pup just like my own! The more information you give me about them, the better! This way I can make sure i’m doing things/caring for them in a way that is the most familiar for them. You can expect quite a few photos of your pup when they are in my care, and quick communication from me as well. I’d love to walk your pup, however long they’re comfortable. Dogs when over our house can roam around wherever while we’re present. I have a guest room to keep them in, if I were not to be home. I can also crate them, as long as that’s provided with them! They are free to sleep on the couch, floor, or bed. We have no pets currently living with us, it is me and my husband. I have experience training dogs in public settings and taking them out and about to pet friendly places. If your dog is already trained and well mannered in public places, I’m more than happy to take them out to places that stimulate them and are pet friendly.

“Deanna was patient with our 7 months puppy who needed extra love and attention! She kept us updated with pictures and images. Our puppy even bonded with her pack! They came home happy and well.”

“Andrew was so responsive and friendly. Diesel felt at home in their home right away! They welcomed him with open arms like a member of their family. We were so glad to find a sitter like Andrew. Diesel was safe and happy with Andrew’s adorable dogs and kids. We could enjoy our vacation completely knowing our pup was in great hands!”

“Jasmine kept Tilly at her house for a week over Thanksgiving. She sent pictures to me everyday and her family even picked out a toy to buy Tilly. We already rebooked with her!”

Jeni S.

“This was our first time leaving Poppy with Molly. We felt very comfortable leaving Poppy with her. She was kind and understanding of all of Poppy’s needs. Molly responded quickly whenever we had a question. She will be our go to whenever we need care for Poppy again.”

“Jessika was fantastic! It’s obvious that she knows how to work with animals and cares a great deal about them. I didn’t worry one bit about my pup while she was in Jessika’s care.”

“Joe has quickly become our go to sitter! Hank was so excited to see him and Duke! As nervous dog parents we feel like we’re actually able to relax when we’re away as we know he’s in very good hands. Thanks again for the great care you provide!”

Melanie M.

“Alexandria is the best. She took care of Star as her own. She even went to the vet to pick up some medications that were needed during the stay. I would go with Alexandria again anytime over anyone else! I cannot say enough good things about her. She clearly loves dogs and goes above and beyond expectations!”

“Karl was wonderful! Our puppy had a great time. He responds super fast and we appreciated the text updates with pictures. Will definitely be using him next time”

Gelila H.

“Kelsey and her family took care of my dog for 3 weeks and I don’t think I could have found a more loving and perfect family to care for my dog. I got daily photo updates and after seeing the way they treated my dog like a part of the family I had ZERO worries. Best dog sitter in the Omaha area!”

Caitlin K.

“Liz watched my pup Kiwi for 10 days at her home while I was on a trip. This was the longest trip I’ve taken without Kiwi, and she can have a bit of separation anxiety. I also had to switch her to another diet due to food allergies l the day before I left. However, Liz had no problems managing these issues and accommodating Kiwi’s needs. Her dog, Lola, was also friendly and social, so there were no issues there. Liz updated me and sent photos daily, which was very comforting, I would definitely use her as a sitter again, and would recommend her to others as well. 😊”

Emilia R.

“She was great! Took awesome care of our dogs despite one of them having severe separation anxiety! Wholeheartedly recommend to anyone looking for a caring sitter.”

Blake E.

“Deanna is the absolute best!!! She has been with my baby Cleo since she was a little baby. Deanna is so on top of communication, photo sending, training, feeding my girl amazing food…all the above, Deanna was such a pleasure. I was with Deanna for about 7 months and I have never been more grateful. Thank you for everything, we appreciate you so so much!”

Sami L.

“I felt so at ease with LiLi staying with Dawn and Spike! Dawn sent pics of LiLi and I could tell she was so happy. I know she loved her stay!”

Cosette S.

“Mary was wonderful! She sent at least one update a day, usually more, and my high energy doodle had such a great time with her and her husband and their own dogs. He got lots and lots of exercise with regular walks and zoomies in their giant backyard. We’d love to use Mary again!”

Devan G.

“Helped me out last minute and Russell was a happy dog when I picked him up! Would recommend”

Cheryl F.

“Allison is wonderful! She was very communicative before and during Oz’s stay and was serious about understanding his routines and habits. We felt great knowing he was getting her full attention for walks, snuggles, and care! Highly recommend!!”

Rachel Y.

“Ann is clearly a dog lover. She and my Pudgie were a perfect match. She took her on walks, let her nap on the couch, and sent me daily updates with photos. Hoping she can keep Pudgie again.”

Laura R.

“We were very nervous to leave our high energy guy with anyone but Katelyn & Nicholas were the perfect fit! The large yard and other companions kept Bo very busy and happy. They sent us daily updates with pictures and were promt to answer when we texted to check in. Katelyn & Nicholas took the best care of our boy!”

Keirstyn C.

“Great communication, setup, and overall just a positive experience.”
