Fur, feathers or scales, I love them all

Pet care experience

I am a qualified and registered veterinary nurse with a passionate, caring personality. I grew up alongside various animals of all shapes, colours and species, and I loved every single one of them. For dog walking I will usually provide a 1hr walk as a minimum, varying more or less at the owners wishes, and will engage the dogs in various activities in order to release energy and give them some exercise. With dog sitting I'm more than happy to stay in the home with the animals, and it is my strong opinion that keeping animals in the place they are familiar with helps to decrease the stress and anxiety associated with the owners absence. While I may have other commitments timetabled while pet sitting, I do endeavour to spend as much time in the house as possible.

Gabi was fantastic with Mati and Miro as usual and they had a lovely weekend while we were away

We contacted Gabby for a relatively last-minute pet sitting request to allow us to tend to a family situation. She was very responsive and reassuring - I arranged for a dog walk first, which happened perfectly fine. Unfortunately, when it came to the dog sitting itself, I was extremely disappointed. Despite confirming with her the day before, I was confronted with an awkward situation - she did not turn up as agreed. 30 minutes later and still without any communication and I had no choice but to make last-minute changes to our plans to ensure that someone could be at home with our dog. This meant that my husband had to stay at home instead of attending this family event. Later in the morning, I receive a brief message from Gabby with her apologies with my cancelled booking. Luckily, Rover reimbursed me for this, but this pales in comparison to the stress and inconvenience - why go through the trouble of finding someone and arranging for a meetup walk just to be forced into not having the service last-minute? I contacted Gabby as she had many good reviews, but I was left incredibly disappointed.

Information Gabriella L. would like to know about your pet

I have no breed preferences, all are adorable. Things I'd like to know include: - What's their daily routine - Are they allowed on the furniture - Any training that may need reinforcing - Any special diets or medications they're currently on

A typical day

The first few times I will stay in the dogs local area, going to places they are familiar with to gauge behaviour and temperament while out. I enjoy going to nature reserves and similar areas, and they're even better with a canine companion, so depending on the dogs behaviour and if the owner is happy for me to do so then I will sometimes take dogs for long walks in these places.
