Since I have 2 cats at home it would be tricky to bring another pet here but I’m happy to stop by your home instead!

Information Gabriela M. would like to know about your pet

My cats are super easy and low maintenance. They love a churu and really take their time getting to know new people so don’t worry if they keep their distance at first.

A typical day

I love to take some time to play with them, if it’s cats play with them inside, give them some cuddles if they desire and change up toys every few days to keep them entertained and active. Dogs I love taking them on a walk, playing catch with them if they enjoy it, run around and get steps in at the park.

Pet care experience

I've been volunteering in animal shelters with cats and dogs since high school. I love animals and grew up with hamsters and rabbits, and now as an adult I have 2 cats and my sister has a dog whom I help take care of sometimes as well.

Gabriela took great care of Hoshi. Communication with her was smooth, she was very responsive and we were able to enjoy our holidays knowing that our cat was in good hands :)

Gabriela was amazing! She fed my guys and cleaned their litter box, and even gave them some wet food! My cats loved getting pets and cuddles, my shy guy even came out for some. I came home to happy cats, would definitely book again!

Gabriela was great! She dropped in for morning and evening visits. Made sure everyone was fed and took Jessie for nice long walks. Will definitely rebook with her!
