Caring + Flexible Animal Lover!

Pet care experience

You can rest assured that your animal has my full attention and is my top priority! I have a flexible schedule and can be accommodating of multiple visits a day and last minute bookings! I love animals and have experience taking care of cats, dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits, and even turtles. If you choose me to take care of your pet, I will be sure to send you many pictures and updates so you know they are in good hands. I am very communicative and want to make sure you feel confident that your pet is in great hands. I love spending time with animals so much that when I have some extra time in my day, I love to spend more time with your pet than you booked me for. I love going above and beyond for you and your animal! I have experience giving pills, liquid medicine, inhalers, and ointments to cats and feel comfortable with any non-injectable medication regiment, including chemotherapy medications. There will be a $5 charge added to each visit that includes medication. This may be modified if the medication is mixed into food/does not require direct administration. I am available for drop in visits and walks, whatever you need for your schedule and your pet's care needs! I volunteered with a dog adoption program for many years and helped my best friend train a service dog for a year so I have experience being both caring and disciplined with dogs. Cats have a special place in my heart and love playing with energetic cats, petting affectionate kitties, or just sitting in the same room with a shy animal as we build trust. I love animals and I cannot wait to get to know and love your wonderful pet! There is no better vote of confidence than repeat clients and I have had over 300 petsitting visits just from repeat clients. Thank you for your time and please feel free to peruse my reviews and reach out with any questions!

Our kitties love Gabriela! She gives us such peace of mind when we are away, knowing how well they are taken care of with food, meds, and play time!

Gabriela was kind, responsive, flexible, and took great care of our cat during daily visits. Leo was calm and happy when we returned home, which isn’t always the case when we go away. Planning to ask Gabriela to look after him again next time we go out of town!

Gabriela did drop ins for one of my longer trips away from home recently and did a great job taking care of my cat. It’s a huge relief to know my pet is in good hands while I’m away!

Second time booking Gabriela to check in on my kitty cat, and once again a happy cat. :)

Safety, trust & environment

I always make sure to pay attention to the animal I am taking care of to make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I am very vigilant and care deeply for the wellbeing of the pets I care for and will let you know if I notice anything off. I believe very strongly in respecting your animals boundaries and listening to their body language so that they can trust me and feel comfortable in my care!

Information Gabriela F. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your animal has any medical needs and any habits or behaviors I should be aware of. I also appreciate up-to-date care information on your profile in case I need to reference it while taking care of your pet.

A typical day

As soon as I get to your place I will see what your cat or dog needs first- cuddles, food, water, playtime, bathroom, or exercise. Then we will go from there! I love letting the animal show me what they want instead of assuming or being forceful. That way we can work together to make sure they’re happy and we do everything we need to do!

Availability

I recently graduated from college so my schedule is very open and your pet is my focus! I can be accommodating to your needs and petsit any day of the week at any time of day (typically after 8 am as I tend to be a night owl). I also accept long term bookings and love being able to get to know your animal over that extended period!
