Energetic superstar attention giver

Pet care experience

I’ve grown up with dogs in my family, so I’m great at intuitively knowing what they need. I love giving attention to them—I’m that person on the sidewalk that’ll ask you if I can say hi to your pup if they stare at me too long. I live with my partner, and there’s is only one or two hours in the day that neither of us is home. Let me be your cool dog aunt! aka with no pup of my own, I can just babysit yours?? I’m energetic & fun but also super responsible & attentive with references to prove it :) Give me an excuse to go to the dog park? ...or not, if your doggo prefers to lay around all day, I’m good at that too!

Gabriela and Doug were absolutely amazing. They took care of Cookie Monster like he was a part of their family. During our long 15-day trip in China, our dog Cookie Monster had a couple seizures. Gabriela and Doug immediately got him to the vet, got him some special food to help him regain his appetite, bought him extra treats, and made sure to keep us up to date with how he was doing to rest our minds. I couldn’t have found better sitters and we’re super bummed that they won’t be around for our next trip away. Highly recommended!

Gabriela took amazing care of my Frenchie, Mabel, while I was out of town over Memorial Day weekend. She and her partner, Doug, are both such sweethearts! She was always very responsive and personable and I loved the photo updates. It was obvious Mabel was comfortable and happy there. They have a lovely fenced in garden that Mabel could explore, and they treated her like their own by letting her cuddle on the sofa and bed with them. I highly recommend Gabriela and would love to hire her again in the future!! Thanks Gabriela and Doug!

I mean WOW. I am absolutely blown away with Gabriella’s professionalism and genuine compassion for dogs! She gave me very thorough updates & photos every day. She even left me a sweet welcome home note. Will definitely book with her again!

Gabriela is such a wonderful, friendly and kind person, and a fabulous pet sitter too! She took care of my silly, senior dachshund for almost two weeks. He's 13 years old and needs a little extra love and care (ie. meds and extra walks). When I got back I could tell that he was well taken care of by his energy and happy mood. Gabriela is my first choice for a pet sitter in Portland. I highly recommend her as a responsible and loving pet sitter. Your pet would be lucky to have her take care of them!

Information Gabriela C. would like to know about your pet

I require all doggo visitors be house-mature, flea/bug free, & neutered/spayed. I can sit puppies over 1 year old, as long as they haven’t had any house-problems for a long time. Biting up furniture, rummaging through belongings, frequent pee accidents, etc., wouldn’t be best suited. I’m so excited to meet your pup! But we should be the right fit :) I also request (if possible & reasonable within your pup’s health) that you give them a quick bath before arriving- just so we start off on fresh paws.

A typical day

Super dog friendly neighborhood! We’ll go to the dog park (if they want to & are able) and adventure to all the neighborhood coffee shops. We’ll hang around the house like potatoes once they’re exhausted from their exercise!
