Safety, trust & environment

I currently do not offer home services in my personal house. At a clients home I will listen to whatever instructions are given and keep everything as similar as possible for overnight and drop-in visits to help keep stress levels down for your animal.

Information Gabby D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know ahead of time if your pet has any special needs. I specifically have experience with Epilepsy in animals and have experience hand feeding.

A typical day

Puzzle games are something I love to do with my own pets, but outdoor activities are just as fun. And personally, I could throw a ball for a game of fetch for hours

Pet care experience

I have great experience with all types of animals in all ranges of age and necessities. I have worked at a barn as well as volunteer at my local animal shelter. I also grew up fostering puppies and kittens as young as days old. I have multiple pets of my own and they are my whole world, I treat any animal with the same level of respect.

We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter than Gabby! She took such great care of our cat, Mars, and our dog, Ruby, while we were away for two weeks. It was obvious from the updates and photos that they were both happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Mars can be a little particular, and Gabby made sure he got all the cuddles and attention he loves. She also made sure Ruby got her daily walks and plenty of love. Knowing they were in such caring hands gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Gabby was reliable, communicative, and treated our pets like they were her own. We came home to two happy, healthy pets, and we are so grateful for everything she did. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone kind, dependable, and genuinely caring. We will absolutely be booking with her again!

Gabby was great. My dogs are large and can be a handful, especially Khaleesi when other dogs are around, or Roman simply because he’s a tank. She always arrived within the time range we discussed and took them on nice long walks around the park, including pictures with each visit. The dogs were in good hands. I would recommend Gabby for your fur babies and hope she would care for mine again!

I’d leave more than 5 stars if I could. Gabby is prompt and communicative. I was a bit nervous starting Rover. My puppy hasn’t been left alone for an extended period of time. Gabby met me before walking Sully to reassure me. I have her walking Sully weekly, she let me know she’ll be on vacation and those dates. I also needed her last minute and she was there for me.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
