What a pleasant first time experience working with Gabriela. Wonderful communication, prompt, and clearly a pet lover. I will definitely be calling on her again when needed.

We have had Gabriela care for our two large GS mix dogs and we couldn't be happier and impressed. She is very responsible / punctual and she keeps in touch while we are away via photos and texts. Our "girls" love her. They took to her immediately which is unusual for our one dog who can be leery of strangers. She has a very calming demeanor with animals. We are grateful to have her as our pet-sitter.

"Professional, Ultra-Reliable, and a Natural Caregiver" Gabriela is an exceptional professional: kind, sensitive, and communicative. She provides outstanding drop-in care for pups and kitties, and pets absolutely adore her! She is incredibly flexible and willing to go the extra mile to ensure everything is perfect. Her love of animals is clear—she even feeds a family of eight wild squirrels at home, all of whom have names! Pinky, NG, Cowboy, Echo, Keef, Brave Bub, Gravel, and Mamma are part of her extended, cared-for family. With her warm smile and many years of experience, Gabriela is a loving, trustworthy, and compassionate choice for your pet and home care needs.

Absolutely the best dog sitter I've ever had! I love her, and my little dog loves her- and that's saying something! Responsible, loving, and trustworthy!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
