Pet care experience

nyc’s best friend 🐕

I’m very experienced in taking care of dogs with physical and/or mental disabilities, both my own dogs or dogs of family members/friends. I understand the strict nature of diets and medication times, and I have experience taking care of dogs post-op, whether it’s from their being spayed, back surgery, etc. What truly sets me apart, though, is that I have experience with epileptic animals. I have a Chihuahua who gets seizures, and understand common procedure to prevent the dog from hurting themselves, myself, or the property of the home. I’m also experienced with the detailed documenting of these events. I’m more well versed with small and medium dog breeds, and specifically I’m an expert with chihuahuas as I’ve owned two for eleven years!

Safety, trust & environment

I’m very strict about medication times, feedings, potty breaks/walks, and play time with my own dogs, and intend to bring this discipline to your own pets. I’m also a very clean person, and will happily take care of any messes that may be produced by myself or your pet!

Gabriela took great care of my Olive. We did 2 walks in 1 day and she did a great job with both. He is definitely high energy and she was able to run him around enough to tire him out. I definitely recommend!

If I had to rate Gabi’s ability to care for pets, it would be 10/10, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️, A++! She’s great at ensuring any routines they have are followed to a T.

I can't say enough good things about Gabi as a pet caregiver. She is responsible, reliable, patient and trustworthy. As a devoted dog mom to two chihuahuas, one with allergies and one with epilepsy who needs medication four times a day - she has shown so much patience and care. Dogs just gravitate toward her, she has this natural magnetism with them. Coming from a family of dog lovers, she's grown up helping with dog sitting all sorts of breeds, from Chihuahuas, poodle mixes, mixed breeds to Boston Terriers. I wholeheartedly trust her with any dog, and I know your furry friend will be in amazing, reliable hands with her.

She is everything you hope for in a pet caregiver—responsible, attentive, and genuinely loving. From the moment she steps in, you can feel how much she truly cares. She treats every pet like her own, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I always have complete peace of mind knowing my pet is in her hands.
