Such a sweet owner and dogs! Timber enjoyed it so much! She even replaced one of Timbers toys when her dog destroyed hers. Will definitely be using as my sitter from now on!

About: I’ve cared for dogs for most of my life and currently have a senior dog of my own, so I understand how important patience, routine, and communication are when trusting someone with your pet. I work remotely during the day, which allows me to provide a calm environment with lots of supervision, potty breaks, and attention throughout the day. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, including senior pets who may need a little extra care and patience. I know every pet has their own routine, and I’ll do my best to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m reliable, responsive, and will always keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel at ease while your pet is in my care. I work remotely during the day, which allows me to provide flexible care, frequent potty breaks, supervision, and lots of attention throughout the day. My schedule works well for boarding, drop-ins, and walks, especially evenings and weekends. I enjoy keeping pets on their normal routine so they feel comfortable and relaxed while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I always try to create a calm, safe, and comfortable environment while following your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I have a fenced-in yard for supervised outdoor time, and I’m attentive to behavior changes, feeding schedules, medications, and any special instructions. I’ll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can feel at ease while your pet is in my care.

Gabrielle took great care of our dog, Foxy. We received updates and pictures throughout the weekend. With the beautiful weather, Foxy got to go on a long walk and to the Vet's Home. We will definitely be utilizing Gabrielle's service again.

Alicyn was excellent with Zeta! I needed a last minute place to board Zeta and Alicyn was gracious and flexible and so attentive to Zeta. From the pictures, Zeta enjoyed the walks, running in the backyard, playing with Mable- Alicyn’s dog- and being loved on! Thank you Alicyn!
