Safety, trust & environment

I care for client’s pets the way I would take care of my own; with love, kindness, and attentiveness. I treat animals as if they are humans with needs similar to ours and I will make sure they are well taken care of and stimulated.

Information Gabriela B. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know how they behave on a leash, if there’s any aggression, leash reactivity, their routine, any allergies, health problems, and what their personality is like!

A typical day

I would love to take a client’s dog for a hike with me or even on a run! I am an avid hiker and runner. I am more than willing to take your furry friend on a fun outdoor activity that your animal prefers!

Empathetic Care for Cats and Dogs

Pet care experience

My name is Gabriela and I am 29 years old. I am currently a Columbia University visual arts/art history student and I am living in New Haven, CT. My family has owned dogs and cats since I was little and I have been told that I am quite the animal whisperer! I have experience with dogs and cats of all sizes and ages. I love them all and do not discriminate. I specialize primarily in reinforcing established, positive routines for both dogs and cats. I am not equipped to handle severe behavioral rehabilitation or extensive training. I have experience administering medication to both cats and dogs and preforming wound care along with reinforcing basic commands. I also follow proper leash technique on walks to ensure that your dog is safe and calm. I am a strong believer that every animal has a distinct personality and you have to meet them where they are at just like humans! I am a very patient, empathetic, professional and energetic person and I look forward to meeting your furry friends. I extend them the same love and care that you provide to them at home which is one on one care with a dedicated focus. I also ensure that your homes are immaculate when you come home. I’d love to answer any questions that you have for me and I look forward to working with you and your furry friends. Thank you for your time and I hope to hear from you soon!

Gabriela is an excellent dog walker! She is very receptive to any feedback regarding your pet’s care. She’s also very communicative and my dog is always very happy after she’s stopped by.
