Information Gabriele S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has leash aggression or has a fear of other dogs. I am used to taking care of my friend’s dog who is afraid of Huskies and who loves other dogs, except when he is on a leash. I can be very flexible and adaptable to your pet’s needs.

A typical day

I love to go for long walks or visit the dog park. I live within walking distance from the beach and enjoy walking dogs there.

Happy to love on your pet

Pet care experience

I have loved cats and dogs forever and have had cats for 25 years. I have taken care of friends’ dogs and cats since I was a teenager. I am kind, and will treat your beloved pet like my own. My cat passed away last year and I am not yet ready for a permanent addition to my home.

It was so reassuring to have Gabriel’s watch my cat! She truly loves the animals she watches and really cares to know how she can individually care for them best. I felt so at ease with my boy in her care(:

Gabriele was fantastic. She obviously loves animals and was wonderful with my Ozzie. I also want to comment on the way she left my home- I could hardly lay she’d been there-and, she left me flowers! I highly recommend her and will happily book her again

When our dog stayed with Gabi, she had just had surgery. Gabi took great care of Roxy, providing regular updates, staying on top of medications and adjusting her schedule to ensure Roxy was well taken care of. We would definitely use Gabi again!

Gabrielle was very contentious when taking care of my dog. She also was flexible about drop off and pick up and my dog had a great experience with her. Highly recommended.
