Pooch-Friend

I grew up with dogs, my father and I were breeding dogs since I was 18. I have a lot of experience with caring for them, training them, administering medications, and birthing. I have a close connection with dogs. I offer a lot of loving, playing, great walks in parks, forests, or trips to a dog-park if appropriate. Praises, ear scratches, belly rubs, and affectionate massages on the back, legs, and paws are very frequent. I also teach them good behavior, obidience. Most of my clients have rescued pups, they each come with a variety of challanges. I help these dogs with their emotional rehabilitation, teaching them that it's ok to trust, giving them continuous positive reinforcements, helping them to be more at ease. I actively participate in their lives outside of dogsitting as well, as needed, as welcomed. The pictures are some of the doggies I have been taken care of :) My previous experiences prior Rover/DogVacay are: Helping out my friends when they are on vacation, or any other time as needed, such as caring for my friend's paralyzed doggie from time to time, including all the diaper changes and clean ups that comes with it.

Gabriella was extremely patient and understanding with my senior pup. He has many challenges - he can’t hear, his eye sight is poor and he was very anxious when I left. Gabriella gently and slowly gained his trust and he was very happy when we arrived home. She is wonderful and left the house clean and in order.

Unbelievable service from Gabriella. She loves our two dogs and vice versa. This was a 8 day overnight ordeal with our electric power going out for a day to which she was proactive, assertive and solution focused keeping the safety and well being of our dogs in the forefront of her mind. She trouble shot our house system like the pro she is. The pictures she sent helped us get through the 8 days missing our pups but I wonder if they missed us! Did I mention our house was in better shape upon our return than we left it? Highly recommend.

This was our first time using a dog sitting and Gabriella is an angel! Our little mini dachshund immediately took to her during our meet and greets. Gabriella was nice enough to come over for a second meet and greet just to ensure our comfort. We can tell that she has lots of experience with all types of dogs. Anyone would be lucky to have her help! Thanks again and we look forward to seeing you soon.

Gabriella promptly responded to our initial request, and even facilitated two meet and greets prior to our first overnight sitting event. The puppies were comfortable with her at our home, well cared for., and all their needs were accommodated. We received photos and updates, and Gabriella made us feel safe and comfortable. She calmed our anxiety with careful confidence, and we are looking forward to having her again

Gabriella was wonderful. She communicated with me daily whilst we were away and sent photos every time. I was really quite nervous as we were going to be gone for 12 days and although I had met Gabriella prior to the booking I had never used her services. 12 days was a very long time for a first sitting. Once I was away however I felt very comfortable as the daily check ins were so reassuring. She filled me in on little details and asked questions to make sure she was confident with my pets personalities. I came home to a healthy happy dog and two healthy happy cats. In addition to this the house was spotless and Gabriella had left a nice note with a brief summary. I would be very happy to use Gabriella again, in fact I hope to do so often.

Gabriella is wonderful! It was the first time leaving my dog with a house sitter, and Gabriella did everything and then some to make sure he was at ease the entire time. He loved the company, and I will be using Gabriella's services again!
