Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced Dog Sitter
After my dog Lucy (a Patterdale Terrier and Jack Russel cross), who was part of the family for many years, passed away, I still loved dogs but wasn't ready for another dog of my own, so I began to dog sit. First I cared for Buster (2 year old Daschund/Jack Russel cross), then for Alfie (a 4 year old cocker spaniel), Pierre (a 6 year old wire haired Visla), and Betti and Jeff (Bernese mountain dogs). All of these dogs had their own personalities and needs. For example, Buster, who was a lot smaller than Betti and Jeff, needed a very different type of walk (he preferred chasing after sticks). I am used to adapting to the needs of the dogs I am taking care of, and will use this experience to bring the best care for your pets. I have done a mix of dog walking, and house sitting with all of these dogs.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Safety and trust are my priority when working with anyone's pet, and I always ensure that I have met the dog, with their owner, in a relaxed environment before I begin the sitting services. My family dog came from a dogs home and carried some nervousness from that, so I know it can be stressful for dogs to have a stranger in their home. To help with that, it is always my goal to preserve your pets routine and keep them engaged and comfortable while I house-sit. I will also always treat your property with respect.
Ratings and reviews
Gabriella has walked my dog Alfie many times - always very reliable and my dog loves her. He is quite a handful but I know he is in safe hands with her. No hesitation on recommending.
Gabriella has looked after my little dog Buster on numerous occasions and I can highly recommend her. She’s taken him for walks and looked after him at home, sometimes all day. He loves being with her and if we see Gabriella out and about he always goes up to be fussed.
Gabrielle has looked after my dog on a few occasions. One time in her own home to cover an emergency for me. She thoroughly enjoyed taking care of Pierre but more importantly he loved spending time with her. I would have no hesitation in recommending Gabriella to look after/walking dogs. She is reliable and trustworthy.

Schedule
I'm currently working part-time while I study for my master's degree (also part time) so, other than the days I'm scheduled to work or go to a seminar, I have plenty of time to give to your dogs. I am always available on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays all day, though I am also available on Thursdays until 16:30 and on occasional weekends.
