Safe, Loving & Reliable Pet Care

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. 💛

Gretel had a wonderful time with Gabriella. It was lovely to get daily pictures to see her playing with other dogs and cuddling with the humans. I've found my pet sitter!!

Doggy Day Care • Aug 05, 2026

I’m not quite sure how to feel about this rover booking. Everything seemed fine, I was glad that Gabriela was able to take a same day day boarding and she was relatively close by my hotel. I dropped sevyn off around 12:30, she asked around what time I would pick him up and I said around 8, thinking I might need more wiggle room to do more errands. I was done around 6 pm w all my errands so I texted her if I could pick him and she said yes. I texted that around 6:10, I got there earlier around 6:13, I let her know I was outside but I wasn’t getting any response or anything so I texted again and then called twice since at that point we were heading towards 20 mins of me waiting outside. I finally got out of the car and knocked on the door which she answered around 6:40. My dog seems fine, he was alittle dehydrated but I believe there were other dogs in the house so he was probably just tired from playing. Overall I didn’t get much of any updates within the 6 hours he was with her. I texted her an hour after an hour I dropped him off to make sure he was doing ok ( he’s anxious so I wanted to make sure ) and she just said they were hanging out but didn’t get any updates after that like if they went on a walk etc. or any other photos of him maybe playing with the other dogs. I’m just overall conflicted about this rover sitting since I’ve done a couple and this is the most odd one in awhile. I thought she would have maybe said something once I knocked on the door and grabbed my dog but she didn’t say anything at all, not a thank you or he’s been good or anything really. Overall my dog seems fine so that’s all I can really ask for. I just wish there was more communication because maybe what she wanted was for me to walk to the door instead of her going outside, which I would’ve done happily but I know some people don’t want people on there property which is fair. I’m not quite sure.

After the meet and greet I feel pretty good about leaving my doggies with Gabriela. She loves dogs and is very experienced with all their little personalities. My dog Cookie can be a little temperamental and her bark-howl can be unsettling. Cookie and Zion came home happy and relaxed. We will definitely use her again. Gabriela was also super flexible when our flight got delayed.
