Information Gabriela G. would like to know about your pet

It would be best to bring a crate for your pups’ stay. If I have to leave the house for errands or for any reason, I believe it’s safer to leave your pup crated so they’re not getting into anything unexpected/unsafe. When I’m home, your pup is welcome to roam freely about the house.

A typical day

I love to take walks and explore the neighborhood with the pups in my care. We also play indoors with a variety of toys and I love to give extra attention and love to help pups settle in.

Gabriela took great care of our 5 month old pup when we went on an extended vacation. She put us at ease and sent regular photos and updates, and was friendly and easy to communicate with. She was very attentive and understanding of our dog’s needs. Would highly recommend her as a sitter!

This was our first time using rover, and Gabriela set the bar so high for care. Our dog loved her and she was so informative, caring, and communicated so well with us daily on how our pup was doing. Everyone should book her!

Really great communication about behaviors and moods and how he was doing the whole time. He was well taken care of and I could relax during our trip. Thanks again! Would rebook 5 stars sitter

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
