Safety, trust & environment

I will work with the client to help their pet maintain their normal schedule while the client is away. I believe can help pets feel more secure to follow their normal schedule however possible.

Information Gabriella M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. If behavior, for example, is your concern, I'd strongly recommend a meet and greet and perhaps trial runs to ensure that your pet and I are a good fit.

A typical day

I love to stimulate your dog mentally and physically if they're up for it! I play hide and seek with them in various ways from getting them to find me, to encouraging them to find toys and treats. I also have kong toys, lick mats and snuffle mats that they can wrestle some treats out of. Where it is possible in spaces with fenced yards, I encourage them to get their energy out with running. I also work with them on their basic skills (such as sit, stay, come, down) to mentally stimulate them.

Pet care experience

I grew up with a dog and adopted my dog in 2019. My dog was timid and reactive but a total sweetheart at home, so I've learned to walk with her in ways that reduce her reactivity and keep things positive! I often use treats and a clicker when walking, dependent on the dog's personality. So please let me know if your dog is food motivated, toy motivated, or unmotivated! If your dog (or cat) is shy to new people, please feel free to reach out for a meet and greet for a smoother transition: I understand new folks can be scary for some pets!

I can't recommend Gabriella highly enough. While I was on vacation, she noticed my furry friend's water fountain wasn't working and took it upon herself to order him a new one. She goes above and beyond when providing care for your pet. She is awesome.

Gabriella was awesome. Highly recommend. She not only took care of our furry friend, she watered our Christmas tree and brought in packages while we were away. She spent extra time playing with Rambo and gave us a detailed update with pictures. 10/10.

Gabi is a very caring and responsible pet caregiver. I have personally seen her take care of her very reactive dog with love and affection while providing positive reinforcements. I believe that she is more than capable of providing love to any pet with the reliability and confidence that any pet owner is looking for in a caregiver!
