Pet care experience
I am a Philly Fairmount area resident exited to help care for your pets. I have been in the city for 3 years and have learned all the fun walking spots. I am excited to get back into pet sitting after getting used to the new city. I have cared for bigger bread dogs such as German shepherds and mastiffs for 10 years. I then became foster parents for different dogs helping with home train. I have experience working with big dogs, small dogs and dogs with cats. What differentiates me from other sitters is that my knowledge comes from years of experience, volunteering and collegiate classes such as animal behavior and animal nutrition along with caring for amazing pet friends through Rover. I have a broad knowledge on animal behavior which will help me better care for your pets. My typical care routine includes feeding, outdoor play and long walks and runs. Along with feedings. I also have experience with multiple dogs at once, dogs and cats co-living and dogs with anxiety. I can easily understand your pet and provide the most individualized care you could imagine. I am a certified animal care and pet services provider by Holly & Hugo.
Reviews
Gabriela took great care of my cat while I was away. She is very detail-oriented and I was comfortable leaving my cat in her care. She even offered to pick up packages for me while I was away. Appreciate her kindness and her help!
Gabriela was prompt and went the extra mile to make sure that my messy eater of a cat had a clean food station. Would recommend!
Thanks for checking in on my cat Airy! Gabby was flexible and easy to work with and she took great care of my cat.
Gabriella's care could not have been more perfect. She checked in with me twice a day and told me how things were going. She included photos of each of my kitties. I felt totally at ease with her here and I was 600 miles away. She is welcome in my home again and I hope our schedules will be such that she can.

My home is a fun palace for cat visitors and small dog breeds. I live in a second floor loft apartment. All my windows and doors are screened, secured and closed when I’m not home. I love larger breeds but suggest a sitter with a proper yard and space for the bigger pup breeds.
Home
Information Gabriela G. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know your dogs walking behavior and behavior around people. I want to provide the best walking and visit environment for your pets so making sure I am well aware of their personalities is important. I also like to know what treats and discipline is expected :)
A typical day
There are many dog parks in Philly and the Art Museum area that I can walk to. My favorite park is the dog park in Spring Garden or the Schuylkill River Dog Park. if you have a larger or more active dog that needs more energetic activity I can run with them or provide longer walks since personally, a good NPR podcast and walking companion are my faves.

Availability
I work at a medical lab at The University of Pennsylvania. Luckily my hours are always consistent which allows me to have most days after 3:00 pm available for pet care. I work early mornings and have experience doing drop ins and walks before work around 5:30 am for pet parents that work overnight shifts or have pets with strict medication or feeding schedules.
