Bio: Hi, I'm Gabriela, a Biologist and Licensed Veterinary Technician with a lifelong passion for dogs of every breed, size, and background. I come to your home so your dog's routine, comfort, and sense of security are never disrupted. Whether your pup is a gentle senior, a post-surgical patient, a reactive dog who needs extra patience, or a giant breed who needs someone who isn't intimidated, I've got them covered. I hold a Low-Stress Animal Handling Certificate and am working toward an applied animal behavior certificate. I individualize every stay to match your dog's personality, medical needs, and your preferences as a pet parent. I welcome all breeds and sizes, including large and giant breeds. My clinical background includes Veterinary General Practice, ICU, Internal Medicine, Cardiology, Oncology, and Physical Rehabilitation. I am fully equipped to care for dogs with complex medical needs including diabetes, heart disease, cancer, kidney disease, and post-surgical recovery. I can administer oral and injectable medications and care for medical devices at home. Subcutaneous fluids and medical device care are available for an additional service charge. Senior, geriatric, and non-ambulatory dogs are my specialty; I understand the extra attention, patience, and clinical awareness they deserve. I offer overnight stays and extended house sitting with near-constant care throughout the day. Your dog will never be left alone for more than 6 hours. You'll receive daily photos and videos, FaceTime check-ins on request, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing a licensed vet tech is watching over your pup. As a pet parent myself, I know how hard it is to find someone you truly trust. My goal is simple: for you to feel like you never left their side. Safety is my top priority. All pets in my care are supervised, fed separately, and never left together unattended. I put in extra effort to ensure a safe and enriching environment; their happiness is always first. Please allow a 30-minute arrival window due to traffic, and 6–8 hours for me to respond to new requests, the dogs in my care always come first during the day. I'm a proud volunteer and donor with Veterinarians Without Borders, 10% of my Rover earnings support their mission. I'm a BIPOC woman and a welcoming ally. She/her. I'd love to meet your dog and earn your trust. 🐾 House sitting requirements: I am happy to house sit any breed, size, and age and offer uninterrupted care for the day. Your dog will never be left alone for more than 6 hours. I can administer oral and injectable medications as needed. Subcutaneous fluids and medical device care are available for an additional service charge. If you will be out of town, please notify your family vet that a sitter will be caring for your dog in your absence. Please allow a 30-minute arrival window due to traffic. Please disclose all behavioral and medical history in full, and ensure your dog's Rover profile is up to date with feeding schedules, medication instructions, and vet contact information before the stay begins. I put in extra effort to ensure a safe and enriching environment. Your dog's happiness and safety are always my top priority.
