Pet care experience
Thank you for taking a look at my profile! I provide drop-ins, house-sitting, and walking for dogs. Unfortunately, my cat allergy has worsened over the years and I can no longer provide services for cats or in homes where cats reside. My experience as a dog caretaker began while I was in boarding school. I served as the president of my school's dog walking club, where I would coordinate and teach members proper dog walking techniques. As president, I matched students with dogs based on the owner's preferences. I also taught dog walkers how to handle unexpected situations and emergencies. Since then, I have house-sat for several clients and a variety of breeds (from Dachshunds to Scottish Deerhounds). I have experience working with dogs with unique needs such as food allergies, controlled playtime, and medication. As a dog owner myself, I understand how scary it can be to leave your pets with a stranger. Rest assured that under my care, your requests will be taken very seriously and will be followed as specified. I have even been able to teach new commands, such as sitting, giving a paw, etc. A little bit about myself... I have recently moved back to the Greater Boston area after graduating from PA school. I have done Rover for several years prior to PA school and am eager to get started again! I chose to start providing services on Rover because I have always loved animals and believe them to be another member of the family! Boundaries of service: As north as Boston, as east as Quincy/Braintree, as south as Foxborough, as west as Wellesley.

Thank you for taking such good care of Millie!
Gabriela went above and beyond with Millie! So attentive and kind, especially for a last minute request
Gabriela went above and beyond during her stay at our home! She was able to accommodate a last minute request, came over for a same-day meet and greet, took Chappy on multiple walks outside despite the horrible weather, sent many photos and updates each day, and left our home as clean as we left it (if not cleaner!). We cannot wait to work with her again. She is 100/10!! Absolutely wonderful. Thank you Gabriela!
Gabbi was great with our two large dogs! their tails were wagging and they were licking Gabbi's hands. We would definitely recommend her and plan to use her again in the future!
