About: During the past year as freshman in college, I got certified at a humane society where I learned how to effectively walk and care for pets. I am currently on track to go to vet school in three years as I major in biology on the pre-vet track and plan to shadow veterinarians this summer. I am a conscientious student athlete on the deans list. As a college soccer player, I am driven and always ready to take on a challenge! I can’t wait to meet your pet(s)! I am currently player summer soccer in the evenings of Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7:30-9 as well as games on Saturdays. Otherwise I am very open throughout the week! At home we have an electric fence for our dog and no crate. However, from pet setting for someone previously who’s dog does use a crate, I am familiar with and will be able to get your pet into a crate if needed. My dog is also getting old and needs some special care such as soaking his food for his sensitive teeth or helping him jump up onto beds. I am able to adapt to any accommodations needed.
About: I've been loving and caring for animals since I could walk! I have experience with cats, kittens, puppies and dogs from small to large and love going for walks, adventures and playtime! I am currently working part-time, so I have plenty of extra time to adore your pets! I am available for boarding Sundays and Wednesday-Thursday. I am available for other services such as drop-ins and dog walking every day before 2pm. Please contact me for flexibility or for interest in availability after 8pm on weekdays! I currently do not have any pets in my home however it is pet friendly! For boarding services, I have both an unfenced yard with trails for dog walking and a fenced in dog park within my apartment complex. My home is also cat-friendly! Whether your cat wants to gaze out the window, cuddle, play, or have their own privacy, I can provide a cozy, stress free environment for your baby!
“Excellent!!!! Gabby went above and beyond for our fur baby! We are so impressed with how well everything was taken care of Lou and home included! Our kitty was all purrs like nothing had changed and we’ve been gone for a long weekend! Happy camper’s all around. The pictures and notes after your visits were an extra special touch! Lou thanks you— and so do we!! Cya next time Gabby! ❤️🐈⬛”

“I have known Mattie for about 3 years and she has watched my 2 dogs on multiple occasions. I would highly recommend Mattie to care for anyone's pets. She is a loving, responsible and caring person. My dogs love to see Mattie. She leaves my home in perfect condition and I know they are in good hands so that I feel comfortable taking trips without my fur babies. I have an Australian Shepherd mix that can be a handful and Mattie does so good with him. I also have a King Charles Cavalier that demands attention and lots of cuddles! I am so happy that Mattie can do both for each personality. I would trust her with my babies any day!!”
