Safety, trust & environment

I like to prioritize the dogs' comfortability and routine. I strive to make sure dogs in my care have everything they need and get all the love and attention.

Information Gabby R. would like to know about your pet

It is helpful if I know if dogs are reactive towards strangers or other dogs so I can keep that in mind for our walks.

A typical day

I like to take dogs out for a stroll at least once a day, and prefer to do frequent potty breaks to keep them entertained and so they can get their sniffs in. I also can use mentally enriching toys and treats to tire them out.

Longtime dog owner and lover!

Pet care experience

I have grown up with dogs of various breeds my entire life. I previously lived in Seattle and began dogsitting in 2021 through word of mouth. I've worked with many different breeds, big and small, and have experience with rescues, reactive dogs, senior dogs, and more. I have a two year old Aussie and four year old Shiba that are my babies! Whenever I housesit, my dogs stay with my partner back at our place. Your dog’s needs and schedule is my priority. I make sure to adhere to all care instructions for meals, walks, and other guidelines, while giving your dog much love and many cuddles!

Gabby is truly amazing with our dog! She pays close attention to his needs, provides daily, informative updates with photos, and leaves the house very tidy. I always know he is well cared for when she house sits.

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.
