Pet care experience
I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life, at age 10 I began to take care of dogs from my neighbors and friends. My experience includes small dogs; I have owned a dachshund/schnauzer, and have taken care of yorkies, shih tzu, mini poodle, and various mixes of these breeds. Medium dogs: I own an 8 year old border collie and have owned Australian shepherds. I have watched over labs, goldens, flatcoats,corgis,staffordshire bull terriers. Giant dogs: I have owned a Newfoundland and English Mastiffs. And I have looked after Great Danes, Bernese Mountain dogs, Rottweiler, GSD, Dutch Shepherd, Malinois and Akitas. I am well versed in potty training, leash manners, off lead manners, obedience (beginner to intermediate) as well as some basic behaviour modification regarding reactivity.
Reviews
Gabriella is fantastic. This was the first time I'd had a dog sitter staying at my house, but after meeting her I felt very comfortable right away. My dog, who is high anxiety and had never experience someone coming into my house without me there, reacted very well to Gabriella's calm energy. My dog has health issues and is on medication and needs special care, but Gabriella managed it all without hesitation. Her communication is great, and she is punctual and reliable. I highly recommend her as a walker and sitter. Thanks Gabriella!
Gariella is such a sweet girl, easy to communicate. She has two dogs at home. So Stella has good companies while she was at Gariella’s place. Gariella has a big living room that the dogs can play and relax. She follows the instructions of Stella’s special carings, e.g. diet. Stella was very happy staying with Gariella.
Always great! Gabriella sends us pictures of our dog and in that way we don’t miss her too much because we see how happy she looks
Our dog always comes home happy

I have a friendly neutral female dog who while she does not play will happily run with other dogs. I live in an apartment with no garden but luckily I am living close to the forest. My dog is off leash trained, I do not expect other dogs to be and have an assortment of biothane recall leads to allow some freedom while still being on lead. I also have anti escape harnesses (3 strap) for the dogs who may benefit. When a dog or cat is in my home they are treated like family. I ask for a set of rules and instructions etc for your furry friend to ensure I can take care of them just like you would! In the client's home I ask for instructions on the things they believe I need to know about the home in order for their pet to be comfortable.

Information Gabriella R. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know if the dog is reactive and what type of reactivity (aggression, fear, frustration, or a mix of these) it is so I can best manage it. I would also like the know any triggers the dog may have and if they are destructive if left alone. Please update the trigger's list accordingly as new ones present themselves so I can keep myself, my own dog, and others safe. Also any medications or special care instructions are appreciated. I currently do not watch puppies under one year overnight, unless I have watched the puppy multiple times and know the personality well. I also would like to do a trial evening/night to see if the puppy will sleep through the night, be comfortable, able to settle etc.
A typical day
I wake up relatively early and go on a 40-60 minute walk in the forest, then I bring Phoebe and whichever dog I’m walking home for breakfast. Then it is just chill time until the next walk which in the hotter months is shorter and normally to some body of water with shade. The evenings are quiet normally and the last walk is about 30 minutes really just for a potty. Throughout the day there will be playing and resting. I enjoy walking in the Elsenburgerbos or Rijswijkbos, they are lovely and most of the times quiet and have room to run. Scent games also seem to be among the favourites as well as mental puzzles like a kong or snuffel mat.

I am currently pet sitting full time. I spend all of my free time with my own dog so adding a few more is no problem.
