Gabriel was great. She sent pictures daily and asked plenty of questions about her routine. My dog looked like she was well cared for and happy. I will ABSOLUTELY use her again. I also like that she only watches one dog at a time.

This was our first time using Rover. Gabriela came highly recommended by a friend whose dog she had previously cared for. We could not have been any happier or more pleased with the exceptional care she provided to our 16 1/2 yr old chihuahua. Having an older dog with poor vision and hearing impaired made us so nervous but Gabriela immediately made us feel comfortable and had such keen instincts for our pup's needs. Our dog immediately bonded with her. We received pictures and updates from Gabriela and upon picking her up also received a full report. Gabriela is such a kind and caring person, you can immediately pick up on that and it truly showed in the loving attention she gave our pup. Would not hesitate to use her again and have already booked our pups next stay with her.

Gabriella was fantastic with our dog Lola. She took great care of her for a week, sent me detailed updates and photos, asked so many questions to help understand Lola’s personality and preferences. It really helped out my mind at ease knowing she was being cared for and treated so well.

This was my first time using Rover. I was very nervous because my dog is a 17 year old chihuahua and needs special care. Since his vision is poor now he needs slow movement and patience to get familiar with surroundings and people. He also takes several supplements and has special dietary requirements. Gabriela seemed very comfortable around my dog right away. Many people are afraid of small dogs, but she knew exactly how to move slow and was patient allowing the dog to become familiar with the new surroundings. I needed to find someone that could care for my little buddy while I took care of some emergency medical issues. I am so glad I found Gabriela. Everyday she shared pictures and an update regarding his comfort and appetite. This helped to ease my anxiety. I could see he was in very good hands. I highly recommend Gabriela ( and my little chihuahua does too!). THANK YOU GABBY!

Gabby and her family are amazing! Our dog Lola was so relaxed and happy to spend over a week there. Even in the photos we could see how happy she was. Gabby sent us a great update every day, took Lola on lots of walks, and asked a lot of questions about how best to care for her.

Doggy Day Care • Dec 15, 2025

Gabriela was absolutely wonderful with my dog. We can be pretty picky about who we trust, and she truly did an amazing job—patient, attentive, and genuinely caring. She was also so accommodating and it gave me real peace of mind knowing my dog was so well taken care of. My dogp was comfortable and happy, and that reassurance means everything. I’d happily book with Gabriela again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone kind, reliable, and thoughtful.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a quiet area, in a suburban home with a walking distance to a nice trail for happy and long walks. My house has a big backyard where your pup can have more play time or relax time. They are never left alone in the backyard, I’m always with them. At bedtime, I generally take them to sleep next to me if they are used to do so but I will follow the owners requirements for that.

A typical day

I typically walk dogs in a nearby trail, at least tree times a day. Some dogs are very high energy and require very long walks, while others require a little less. We also play inside and outside home to keep them entertained as much as possible without disturbing napping or relaxing time.
