All breeds are welcome! I love to meet your pet(s) ahead of time for a quick introduction so they can get familiar with me and feel comfortable from the start. I am also happy to administer medications when needed.

A typical day with me is all about routine, comfort, play, and lots of love. Since I work mostly from home, your pet will have constant companionship and supervision throughout the day, no long periods alone.

Safe, Loving & Reliable Pet Care

Pet care experience

Animals have been my passion since I was a child, and caring for them is truly part of who I am not just something I do on the side. I have over 13 years of experience caring for pets, and I genuinely prioritize their health, happiness, emotional comfort, and safety above everything else. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all sizes, ages, breeds, and personalities. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, anxious, senior, or needs extra patience and attention, I naturally adapt to their unique needs and daily routines. I’m reliable, organized, patient, and a great communicator. I have my own car, a valid driver’s license, and insurance, and I’m completely comfortable with overnight care, long hours, and flexible schedules. Your pet will never feel like “just another booking” with me, your furry family member will always receive loving, and trustworthy care from someone who truly values animals. 💛

Gabriela is amazing! She was incredibly responsive and made sure my dog, Cash, had all of his needs met. He had a great time with her. I can’t imagine a better fit for anyone who needs boarding or day care for their dog!

Gabriela and her family are kind and detailed. They are very active sitters. Tokyo was able to learn to be around several different types of dogs. They were tolerant and of his puppy energy and an uncharacteristic accident. There wasn't much communication responses during the day but photos were sent later on. I did wait at the front door a while upon pick up while it looked like someone was maybe moving things/dogs around. I'm not sure, but Tokyo was brought to the door with all his things and seemed ready to go. A good experience for my new puppy.
