Great care 4 your 4 legged friends
Pet care experience
I have been an animal lover since a very young age. I have had experience with dogs of all sizes, many different breeds, and of all ages/stages of life. In the last few years, I have worked as a dog bather as well as a doggy daycare attendant. This past year I have been working at an Animal shelter, and have been shadowing my local veterinarian. I also have experience walking and pet sitting many of my neighbors furry companions.
Reviews
Gabby was the perfect sitter for my cat Mia! She sent regular updates including lots of photos. I felt very comfortable leaving Mia in Gabby’s care and would not hesitate to use again!
Gabby is a lovely pre- vet major who adores dogs and attends to every detail. MacKinnon was safe, happy and occupied! Thank you Gabby! Julie and Gary
Gabby was truly amazing! Not only was she wonderful to and with our Sophie, but she was a delight to work with!! We will definitely request Gabby’s services again.
As a repeat customer I highly recommend Gabby for any dog- or cat-sitting needs you might have. She made drop-in visits for my 7-month old kitten Mochi for a recent trip, and like the first time I was extremely happy and grateful for the level of care that she gave to my very needy kitty. Everything went perfectly, and Gabby even brought Mochi some toys to play with so she wouldn’t get lonely when I was away. I’m really glad that I hired Gabby, and I know Mochi is too 😺 🐈⬛

Safety, trust & environment
In my apartment, I feed dogs in separate rooms to avoid any potential fights. When I am at my 2 hour class, I crate my dogs to prevent accidents or any destructive behaviors while I’m gone. I also take my dogs out every 2-3 hours as I am still working on one of their potty training.

Information Gabby W. would like to know about your pet
If a dog has any known health issues, any known aggression and what triggers it, the schedule a dog is used to in order to provide a comfortable environment (not too much change as that can cause more stress), if up to date on shots, and if they are spayed/neutered.
A typical day
I love to throw treats around an empty field and have my dogs (while leashed) sniffed around and find them. I also have frozen lick mats that I have for dogs that can be a great enrichment activity. I like to walk on campus and take the dogs to the quad, as well as have them run around a gated empty tennis court.

Availability
Pet care fits into my daily routine great, as it is the highlight of my day. Just like humans, pets need a routine too. I am always more than happy to help somebody with their own pets needs when away.
