🐾 Get £15 OFF your first booking! 🐾 Use code: GABRID21881 at checkout. 🐾 Please read my schedule before booking 🐾 My availability can vary depending on my veterinary nursing shifts, so please check that your dates and your pet’s care requirements fit my schedule. Feel free to message me if you’re unsure I’m always happy to discuss it. I’m a newly qualified Registered Veterinary Nurse (RVN) with experience caring for a wide range of animals. Alongside my veterinary nursing training, I have been pet sitting through Rover for the past few months, giving me the opportunity to care for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds and personalities. I have been around dogs and cats for most of my life and currently have an English Bull Terrier puppy called Moose, along with my two cats, Cookie and Colin. Cookie is a senior cat with arthritis, so I also have personal experience caring for an older pet and understanding that every animal has their own individual needs and routine. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the sofa or simply sticking to their usual routine, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention and care while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will always keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. 🥰🐾

Safety, trust & environment
I currently offer pet care in the owner’s home rather than bringing pets to my own home. I find that many animals feel much more relaxed and comfortable staying in their familiar environment, where they have their usual routine, smells and surroundings. My priority is always making sure pets feel safe, calm and well cared for while their owners are away. As a veterinary nursing student, I am confident handling animals safely and recognising signs of stress or illness. I am experienced in administering medication, following specialised diets and making sure pets receive the care and attention they need. I will always follow the owner’s instructions closely to maintain their pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime and rest. I am also very happy to arrange a meet and greet beforehand, such as going for a walk together with the owner and their dog. This allows the pet to get to know me first and helps everyone feel comfortable and confident before any booking.
Ratings and reviews
Gabi looked after our dog for four weeks over the summer. Excellent communication from start to finish and Pickle absolutely adored her ❤️ We would happily recommend her to anyone.

Gabriella was amazing, this is my first time using the app and she was super lovley She reasured me and took such lovley care for bella, Made sure she was safe and showed her so muxh love And was very gentle puttting her in her crate She commicated with me the whole time as i needed it and left bella room super tidy Bella loved cuddleing her and for a new person really shows you the person she is. Would recommend so much
Absolutely fantastic. Cannot speak highly enough about Gabby very polite and the dogs adore her
Gabriella was very accommodating when we had to make changes, she is great with Henry and we would definitely use her again! Thank you so much x
I can’t recommend Gabriella enough, she is incredible! Milo is elderly and arthritic, so it made such a difference having someone with veterinary nursing experience caring for him. She quickly recognised when he was becoming uncomfortable on his walk and adapted immediately by using his pram, which showed such great understanding and compassion for his condition. She also gave me really helpful diet and nutritional advice, and I felt completely reassured knowing that if anything seemed off with Milo, she would recognise it straight away and know exactly what to do. Her knowledge around illness, medication and senior dog care really sets her apart from a standard pet sitter. Milo was so well cared for, I received frequent photos and updates and I’ll definitely be using her again. Highly recommend! ⭐❤️

Schedule
I currently work part-time as a Registered Veterinary Nurse, usually working Monday, Thursday and Friday from 8:30am–5pm or 10:30am–7pm. I’m available for drop-in visits and dog walks in Melton and surrounding areas on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays, depending on my shift times and the location of the booking. I’m also available for drop-ins and walks in Corby on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and weekends, I would also be happy to do drop ins on my days off in melton and surrounding area if needed! (Additional charge for petrol over 10 miles). I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine wherever possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication and plenty of cuddles. I’m particularly happy to discuss individual routines with owners beforehand so we can make sure the arrangement works well for your pet. I’m still available for house sitting, although my availability depends on the individual pet and their needs. For example, I may be able to accommodate a dog who is happy being left for part of the day while I’m at work, whereas pets who need someone at home throughout the day may not be suitable for my current schedule. I’m always happy to discuss this with you before booking. I also have some flexibility depending on the length of the booking and the care your pet requires, so please feel free to message me with your dates and what your pet needs. I’d much rather discuss your pet’s individual routine and make sure I can provide the level of care they need than accept a booking that isn’t the right fit. My availability can vary slightly around my veterinary nursing rota, so I always keep my Rover calendar up to date and will confirm availability before accepting a booking. 🥰🐾
