Pet care with transparency and love

I have taken care of dogs ranging from puppies to seniors, in good health and end of life, and both large and small. What sets me apart is my love of animals, the attention I pay them, and the transparency to keep you informed of what is going on with your pets when you leave them in my care.

Gabriel was very attentive to my dog’s needs and accommodating when I had unexpected schedule changes. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter and I will absolutely rebook.

Gabriel was amazing with Kush. His communication during her stay was great. He did a great job letting her get to know him so she was comfortable. Couldn’t be happier with the care she received while with him.

Gabriel did great watching our pup. He was responsive and communicative, and sent lots of pictures, and she seemed happy and well-cared for when we picked her up the next day.

Gabriel and my dog, Fenrir, absolutely love each other! Not only is he really patient with my dog but he is very caring, almost like he loves my dog as his own. I feel like he is very efficient, adaptive and sympathetic while handling my dog and can't recommend anyone better.

Gabriel is an extremely trustworthy individual with diverse work experience. Ive trusted him to watch my dog many times and sometimes for weeks at a time, and i wouldn't hesitate to use him again.

Schedule

I work full time in Brentwood and live in Antioch. I can work from home as needed and even if I am at work I have the flexibility to leave my office when I need to. Pet care is something I do during my extra time, but my extra time can be quite flexible to suit my (and any pets under my watch's) needs.

Safety, trust & environment

I focus on maintaining good communication with my clients and maintaining preparedness. Whether it be good or bad news, it's important for me to make sure that the people who trust me with their pets are updated on how their pets are doing. I make sure to keep potential harmful objects out of reach, and have a game plan prepared in the unlikely scenario that a pet is hurt or needs to see a vet. If something should ever go wrong, I feel it's my responsibility to keep you informed, and to make sure that I am able to do everything possible to help keep your pet safe and healthy.

A typical day

I live very close to a lake and park with lots of space to take fun and engaging walks. I typically take any pets outside of my neighborhood to walk as my neighborhood is quite small. I allow pets to spend as much time as they'd like in my fenced in backyard and will sit on my porch to supervise.

Very important to know what breed your pet is. I am highly allergic to specific dog breeds. I need to know if your dog is leash aggressive as well and if it otherwise gets along well with other animals.
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.
