Your Pup’s New Favorite Sitter 🐶❤️

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. Whether it’s walking an energetic pup, sticking to a feeding routine, or giving your cat the space (and chin scratches) they need, I adapt easily to their personalities. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family,with patience, love, and lots of attention. You can count on me to keep them safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

I’d be gatekeeping if I didn’t recommend Gabriela by now. She’s a gem of a find in my area, and really in the entire DMV. For the last few months, she’s been my go-to sitter for my pup, who is quite literally my best friend. He’s rarely out of my sight, so it takes a lot for me to feel comfortable leaving him with someone. Gabriela may be new to Rover, but it’s clear she’s been around animals for a long time. As other reviewers have said, she’s responsive, accommodating, and makes everything easy. I recommend her with full confidence. But more importantly, my pup trusts her, and that says it all. I have no doubt she’ll be a star sitter in no time. And when Gabriela says she might just be your pet’s new BFF, she really means it.

Gabriela was super responsive and really easy to work with! She made sure Miri was cozy the entire time, and I really appreciated her care over the last 10 days. I felt at ease leaving Miri with her, and I’d feel totally comfortable doing so again.

Gabriela was a delight. Extremely accommodating for my early morning drop-offs and very responsive throughout the day. Nyla was happy both days, so I know Gabriela gave her the same love I do. I recommend her 10/10 and will certainly book again.

My schedule is very flexible, with no fixed hours since most of my work is virtual. I typically go into the office for just 4–5 hours a day, which gives me plenty of time for pet care. Whether your pet needs morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles, I can adjust to meet their needs and keep their routine consistent.
