Experience Catered To Each Dog!

Pet care experience

I am a lifelong dog lover! I love spending time with them and playing with them, but my current lifestyle does not allow me to take on the responsibility of a pet full-time. However, nothing can stop me from giving my love to pups in need of care when their owners are away! By pet sitting, I can enjoy quality time with animals and watch them thrive. It’s always a very fun experience for me! I’ve been around dogs my entire life, and grew up with a wonderful Jack Russell Terrier. I always volunteered to dog sit when the opportunity arose, so I am very happy to have transitioned to professional sitting. My house is very welcoming to new pups! I live with a roommate, who absolutely love dogs. She will be around for cuddles and attention, but I will be solely responsible for caring for your pup. When your pup is under my care, flexibility and attentiveness are the names of my game. For me, care begins even before I start looking after your pooch, as I always like to get as much information as possible so I can start thinking about how to administer top-notch care. For your pup, I’ll be totally devoted to them when they’re with me. I’m happy to meet them at their level, whether that’s high-energy play time and exercise or just cuddling on the couch watching Netflix! My neighborhood is H St Corridor/Capitol Hill in Washington DC. I live in an apartment building (so I do not have a backyard), but I do have a an awesome dog park just a few blocks from my building and easy access to take long walks through the city and along the National Mall. There is plenty to do nearby! I love how busy my area is, with so many dogs and people to make friends with! Your pooch will love being able to spend time outside and run off energy with me.

Gabriella did a wonderful job with Captain! She stayed with him at our house while we were away and this worked so well for Captain who is older now and a little less flexible. She sent daily updates and photos and took excellent care of him. I would definitely rebook!

We love having Gabriela watch our dog! She’s very communicative, always gives our dog plenty of exercise, and very flexible of things come up

Gabriela was great! Very responsive and took such good care of our boy. She took him on lots of fun walks and always kept us up to date. 10/10 recommendation!

Information Gabriela F. would like to know about your pet

Some things I like to learn ahead of time: Would you like to schedule a meet-and-greet before the stay? What’s your preferred method of communication? Does your pup have any health issues that need to be tended to? For instance, dietary restrictions, medicine, or behavior triggers? Do you have a vet nearby that you trust? Is your dog spayed/neutered? Does your pup like to stick to a given schedule, like regular walks in the morning and evening? What does your pup do well around? What does your pup try to avoid? What’s the best way to spoil your pup?

A typical day

I will spend time with your pup in the mornings before work and evenings after work. I work full-time 9am-5pm, but currently work primarily from home so I am able to spend plenty of time with them during their visit. We will go on walks in the city, play with other puppies at the dog park nearby, and play games and work on our doggie obedience skills. I love to spend time outside, hike, and explore. I love travelling and seeing new places/meeting new people.
