Communicative, Reliable Housesitter

Pet care experience

I grew up with big dogs and many friends have cats. I would love to have pets of my own one day, but for now I've settled for being the go-to pet sitter for friends and family! I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and have lots of experience cat-sitting. I thoroughly enjoy the chance to hang out with some animals, to have a friend on a walk or to cuddle with on the couch. New opportunities (and pets!) are exciting to me so I'm happy to talk with you about caring for critters like rabbits, or animals with medical needs (ex. insulin injections). I'm great at following directions and would love to take care of your buddy :)

Gabriel was super professional and attentive, this was the first time we left our cat and dog with a sitter and we were very nervous, especially since it was for three weeks, but he was amazing the babies loved him he was a professional dealing with them and kept the house in great shape!

Gabriel took care of our two cats while we were away on a camping trip and had no problem giving one of them oral medicine twice a day. Gabriel was responsive when booking and worked with us to ensure that everything would be taken care of even if we were out of service (a concern when camping), and gave us updates as requested when feeding the cats and giving them medicine. We'd be happy to book with Gabriel again

He was a great companion for Maggie. He met all expectations and even sent daily updates. He asked great even gave maggie a special treat. He was honest about any issues, and made me very comfortable and confident that I could leave my dog, even when she has anxious tendencies. I would recommend him to anyone!

Safety, trust & environment

I can come care for your pets at your home, either visiting during the day or additionally sleeping overnight. It is nerve-wracking entrusting your pets and your home to someone so it is important to me to be a good steward of your space, leaving it as I found it and taking care of the little things like taking in the mail. I value clarity, honesty, and integrity. My preference is for an in-person meeting to get to know you, your pet(s), and your space, and to ask detailed questions about pet and home care, expectations, boundaries, and other concerns that arise. Ongoing availability through text or email is appreciated in case questions crop up (ex, is it concerning if your pet doesn't eat a meal? Do I let the maintenance person in?) but I value our time and keep disruptions to a minimum. I will communicate any issues honestly and promptly, and hope for the same forthright communication in return. I look forward to working with you and your pets!

Availability

As a student my weekday schedule is a bit erratic, and I can be occupied for longer stretches. I can do drop-in appointments for dogs while overnights are probably best reserved for weekends, or cats and other animals that can be alone for a while. I am available most or all of the day on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday. Monday and Friday afternoons are generally free. I am happy to discuss schedules and timing in more detail.
