Pet care experience

Responsible and caring pet lover

I have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve loved and cared for two dogs in my immediate family, and I’m the go-to dog sitter and walker for my extended family and friends. I’ve provided boarding, house-sitting, and walking services and have experience administering medication, socializing puppies, and helping with crate and basic command training. As a former animal shelter volunteer, I’m comfortable working with pets of all personalities and needs. Any pet under my care will be treated with genuine love, patience, and respect—you can count on me to provide attentive, reliable care for your furry family member! If you have any questions please reach out! I am very communicative throughout the process and can provide the same communication throughout the pet-sitting experience. I look forward to meeting you and your pet!

Gabriela is one of the most responsible people I know! She’s been an incredible dog sitter when I’ve been out of town. I have such a great peace of mind leaving my fur baby with her. It’s especially nice that she sends me photos with updates on how my Luna is doing.

Gabby was amazing with my dog, Rajah. He is a little shy but quickly became comfortable with her and absolutely loved her. Gabby is truly an amazing pet caregiver and will treat your pets as her own.

Gabby was wonderful with my dog. While I was at work she fed, walked, and played enrichment games with my dog. I have a pitbull rescue who can be very fearsome of new people, and Gabby was very respectful of my dog’s boundaries, eventually building a very comfortable and playful relationship together. My dog absolutely loves her and can’t wait to see Gabby again!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a spacious, pet-friendly apartment with a fenced outdoor deck that offers a safe and private space for your pet to relax. I’m also just one block from Central Park, where your pet can enjoy beautiful walks by the Harlem Meer and plenty of playtime in the East Meadow. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I always follow your standards and preferences with the utmost respect and attention. I treat every pet like family—prioritizing their routine, comfort, and sense of stability at all times.

A typical day

I love to engage in play and puzzles with dogs! I can make frozen lick pads for dogs with pumpkin, peanut butter, and/or Greek yogurt (can adjust based on allergies)! I love to go on walks/runs at Fort Greene with dogs. I also enjoy setting up a park blanket where dogs and I can relax, play fetch, and tug of war.
