Information Gabriela V. would like to know about your pet

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

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. During the day, we enjoy: • Playtime in the fenced yard • Walks for exercise and fresh air • Cuddle and relaxation breaks inside • Plenty of attention, affection, and interaction

Pets

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 and her partner are great! Flight was delayed and they were super flexible with letting me pick up our pup late. Good communication and daily photos

I had a great experience! Zailey was very happy and well cared for during my time away. It gave me peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. I would definitely book again!
