About Gabbi H.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
For people interested in boarding, I have a fenced yard and an 11/yo, 15 lb Shih Tzu who is very friendly. He is laid back and prefers dogs who are also laid back, but has never shown aggression with high energy dogs. I typically walk the dogs I watch at least once a day, but that can vary on the age and/or the activity level of the dog. I can also take them to a park, weather permitting! I always try to keep the pups experience as stress-free as possible, so I listen closely to everything you tell me about your pet. I try to stick to any routine that you guys share, whether that be feeding times, walking times, or anything else! I live in a quiet neighborhood where your dog will be safe with me. Please note, I am typically only able to board small to medium hypoallergenic dogs, up to 30 lbs.

Information Gabbi H. would like to know about your pet
I love to know as much as possible about your pet ahead of time! I need to know their favorite activities, their diet, how frequently they get potty breaks, if they like walks, if they are reactive to anything, etc. The more specific the better!! I’d love to know what their favorite toy is or where their favorite spot to take a nap is. Having a good understanding of your pets routine will help me keep them satisfied while you are away.
A typical day
I love keeping the pets I watch enriched, as well as maintaining the routines they are used to. I prefer to do whatever activities you tell me your pets enjoy. I’m more than happy to keep pets active by going on walks, hikes, playing fetch in the backyard, etc. For laid back pets, I am always down to hang out at the house and show them some love while binge watching our favorite show.

Pet care experience
Hi, I’m Gabbi, and I have over 6 years of experience caring for other people’s pets! I am new to Rover, but I have multiple pet sitting references that I can provide from customers that have had me hired me for years! I’ve watched dogs of all sizes from Great Pyrenees to Chihuahuas. I’ve handled hundreds of cats so I am used to every personality. I have also cared for reptiles, amphibians, fish, farm animals, and rodents. I’ve watched dogs who need vigorous exercise, as well as the opposite. I’ve cared for puppies and kittens, seniors, and every age in between. I’ve watched a litter of kittens that were still nursing. I have experience with cats and dogs affected by cerebral palsy, deafness, blindness, and other special needs. I am experienced in administering multiple forms of medication. I also volunteer for an animal shelter, which gives me a lot of unique situations and experiences!
Cat care experience
Gabbi also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
We have worked with Gabbi multiple times for our cats. We have indoor and outdoor cats, ranging from kittens to seniors. Gabbi is great in communication and skillful with these animal friends. We highly recommend her and will reach out again.
Gabbi is an excellent dog sitter. My first time asking for her services and she is very professional and friendly. Boots loved her. I will ask for her to sit for Boots again!!
Gabbi took amazing care of our two dogs! Her communication was great. We will definitely use her again!
Gabbi was awesome! This was our first time using Rover—and trusting someone we didn’t know to come into our home and care for our animals—but she exceeded our expectations. We came home to happy dogs, a content cat, and a clean house. We were a little nervous about leaving our furry friends with a stranger, but Gabbi connected with them right away and put us completely at ease. We’re so grateful and would absolutely recommend her! 💕🐾💙
