Highlights
Pet care experience
Your best friends partner in crime!
I can’t wait to work with you! I have been professionally pet sitting for five years. I am comfortable working with all dogs, from excited Chihuahuas to nervous foster dogs to senior Golden Retrievers. I have also cared for a variety of lovely American breeds, such as Boxers, Pitties, and Bulldogs. I look forward to working with you and meeting your best friend!

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I do not offer boarding services in my home at this time, but when I am taking care of your best friend at your home, safety is my number one priority. If we have a walk planned, I make sure that the weather is in the safe temperature range before we leave, and I always carry an emergency water bottle/bowl with me. We will also always stay within a 15-minute walk to your home/my vehicle in case of emergency! While letting pets out into a fenced-in yard, they will be supervised the entire time and let back in the home as soon as they indicate they would like back inside. When it comes to pet sitting for longer stays, the needs of you and your pet change, so the services I offer shift accordingly. While pet sitting, every time I come to your home, I will do a safety walk of the home to make sure no accidents have occurred, and nothing that isn't meant to be played with has made it to the floor. I have a lot of experience with sock monsters, so I understand the need to keep a home tidy when caring for a dog. I will do a walk of the yard every day to make sure nothing that could harm your pet is present and that no new holes or damage to the fencing has occurred. When I am leaving your home for the night, or periods through the day, I triple check that all of the doors and windows are locked so you won't have to worry about any harm coming to your best friend or your home. If you have plants that need to be cared for throughout your home, I am also more than happy to provide care to them as well!
Ratings and reviews
Gabby D. cancelled a booking 1 day before it was scheduled to begin.
Gabby was so great with my two dogs. She kept in contact with me during the stay and sent me plenty of pictures! I will definitely recommend her to anyone needing boarding and look forward to booking her again.
Excellent communication and made me feel like she was truly caring for my home. Thank you!
Gabby, our new dog and cat, loving friend to Kallie and Mia Is absolutely amazing. She came and did everything she said, and then some the pets love her. We will have her back again very soon and always highly highly recommend her five star isn’t even enough. She deserves more than that more than happy to have her take care of our pooch and cat 🙏❤️
Gabby was amazing! We were visiting Des Moines for the day and had to get a sitter on a really short notice. Gabby responded immediately and came to spend the day with our Effie while we were away. Effie loved her and was really relaxed with her, even though she's not used to being away from us. Tons of thanks Gabby, you really saved us!
Gabby was exceptional! Jojo and I are sad she’s moving away, we’d love to have her back. ❤️

Schedule
I have lots of room in my day to day schedule to take care of your pets! I work from 10am-6pm Monday-Friday which leaves me free for overnight stays, mornings and evenings with your furry friend. My schedule has some flexibility, so I can make sure all of your pets needs are met.
