“Gabby is a fantastic sitter, my boy Deke is always shy when he meets new people but immediately took to Gabby which goes to show how amazing she is with animals. She has timely communication and gives my deke all the love and play during her visit! It’s such a weight off my shoulders knowing Gabby is stopping in to spend time with him!”
About: I have been pet sitting for over 7 years. I like to prioritize pets and get to know them. I can relate going out of town and needing someone to take care of your babies can be intimidating but I’m here to help look after them and hope it’s not too anxiety inducing. I like to know routines and behaviors so I can be the best sitter for them and meet their needs. One of the best things about having my base home in Kalamazoo is the amount of walks and trails that you can find anywhere where I can take myself and a dog for a walk. It gives us an excuse to leave the house and get fresh air as we spend a couple of hours outside, so that always helps when it comes to walking dogs and puppies. I work from home so I’m quite flexible with being able to arrange my day regarding a pet that needs attention or already has a specific routine As an experienced pet sitter I know what questions to ask and like to know more about your routines. Sending daily pictures and updates are also a must to not miss them too much.
