Pet care experience
Newly qualified veterinary nurse 💕
🐾Get £15 OFF your first booking!🐾 Use code: GABRID21881 at checkout. I am a newly qualified Registered Veterinary Nurse 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 love providing pets with the care, attention and reassurance they need while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets, and I always aim to make them feel safe, happy and relaxed in their own home. I currently work at a boarding kennels, where I care for dogs every day. My role includes feeding, exercising, cleaning, administering medications when required, monitoring behaviour and ensuring every dog is comfortable, healthy and happy. I have owned 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 have plenty of experience caring for older pets and understanding their individual needs. Living with pets and working as a veterinary nurse has given me a good understanding of animal behaviour, recognising when an animal may be anxious or unwell, and adapting my care to suit each pet’s personality. 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 with complete peace of mind.

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.

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! ⭐❤️
Gabi has looked after my dog and cats multiple times. She is reliable, sweet and an amazing care giver. I have a nervous dog who sometimes doesn’t take to people but took to Gabi immediately. She sends lots of updates and photos to make you feel at ease. 1000% recommend her for all your pet needs. She’s had amazing knowledge to help look after your pets young and old.

Schedule
I currently work mornings and afternoons at a kennels from 7:30am–12pm and 2pm–5pm, with a two-hour break during the day where I can return to care for pets. I’m available before work, during my lunch break and from 5pm onwards in the evening. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, including feeding schedules and walks. If needed, I can do a morning walk, a walk during my lunch break and an evening walk. For dogs that enjoy more exercise, I’m also happy to take them to paddocks so they can have a safe run around and burn off energy. On Fridays I work an evening shift at a pub, so I would only be available with your pet from around 5pm–6pm before leaving for work and returning around midnight. Because of this I usually avoid Friday bookings, but I’m happy to discuss it with owners if this schedule still suits their pet. On Saturdays I work at the pub from 12pm–6pm, so I’m available in the morning and again in the evening. I am fully available on Sundays.
