Pet care experience
I have a wide variety of experience caring for animals - as long as I’ve been able to drive, I’ve been house-sitting, dog-sitting, cat-sitting, horse-sitting, farm-sitting, you name it! I worked at a small animal Veterinary clinic in Superior, WI for 1.5 years and just completed my first year of Doctor of Veterinary Medicine schooling in the cities and will be going back in the fall but am living in St. Cloud this summer. Therefore, I have advanced (and expanding) knowledge of pet behavior, ailments, experience administering medications, etc.!
Reviews
Gabriella is one of the most 'animal-loving' people that I know. I know she has grown up around dogs, cats and horses and is currently in Veterinary school at the University of Minnesota, which only demonstrates her passion for animals in the fact that she is choosing to make a career out of her love for animals. She has her own dog, who she treats like a king. She dedicates so much time to his well-being; taking him to the dog park, hiking in state parks, long walks in the woods, etc. She spares no expense and makes sure he has the best of everything, just as she does with her horses. She has such a kind heart and would be a wonderful pet caregiver.
If you've found Gabi, you've hit a gold mine! I honestly don't think thatc there's a better dog sitter out there. While living in Superior, Gabi took care of my golden retriever, cat, and 4 rabbits on many occasions. She's friendly, trustworthy, and honest. Communication is VERY important to me and Gabi was wonderful. She sent updates, responded immediately to questions, and even sent me pics of my fur babies. My animals were actually upset when WE came home because they loved her so much! We were devastated when she moved away for college. Our loss is your gain!
I have known Gabriella for approximately 14 years. She has not only watched my dogs on numerous occasions, but she has also watched over my house and farm. For many years she managed my barn which included caring for 10 horses plus my dogs. She is dependable, intuitive, caring and intelligent and would be an absolute extraordinary addition to your company.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I will follow your directions to a tee since you know your animal best! As a Veterinary student, we are instructed in animal behavior, and my calm demeanor makes animals comfortable around me. My friends and family have a wide variety of dog breeds (from Cavaliers to Great Danes) so I am comfortable with all sizes! (Cats too!)
Information Gabriella K. would like to know about your pet
I would love to know your expectations for length of walk (a few blocks around the neighborhood, vs. a field trip) so I know whether it can fit into my schedule that day! Also, whether or not they are friendly with other dogs - I am just fine leaving my dog at home for the visit, but if I could hit two birds with one stone and walk my own dog at the same time, and provide a friend for your dog, then that would be an added bonus!
A typical day
I can take your dog for as short or as long of a walk as what your expectations are, whether that be around your neighborhood or on a field trip! I am still gaining familiarity with the St. Cloud area, but some of my current favorites with my personal dog are the Granite quarry, Lake George, and Beaver Island trailhead.

Availability
This summer I am working at a horse barn in the area getting equine Veterinary experience, so I may be able to do lunchtime drop-ins, but dinner time (or bedtime) visits would be easier to fit into my schedule! I usually have Thursdays off so I have more flexibility on that day, and same with weekends. I do have a dog of my own so doing overnight stays would be trickier for me.
