Pet care experience

Because every pet is family.

I've been around dogs since the day I was born. I've owned 4 dogs in my lifetime (along with many fish, hamsters, mice, and cats) and currently have 2 big goofballs back at home with my family in Chicago. I have experience in puppy training, potty training, crate training, pet walking, and pet sitting of all kind. I have also carefully walked along side caring for senior pets. Throughout college, I took in dogs to foster, clean, and care for regularly. Animals truly have my heart.

Safety, trust & environment

I have taken care of dogs of each and every size, shy and outgoing, and young and old. I will cater to each individual pets needs. This also means I have experience walking all kinds of dogs! Dogs that need closer and tighter attention vs. off the leash walking. I will meet the animal's level wherever you are comfortable with.

There’s really no one we trust Bailey with more than Ella. He’s not just “business” with her. She showers him with love and pays close attention to him. Her communication is amazing. Always letting us know when she notices anything. Out of the ordinary. We’re truly blessed to have found her.

This is the second time we’ve booked with Gabriella. She is so attentive and caring with our pet. She is prompt, sends lots of pictures and communicates everything to us. She has worked hard to make our cat comfortable and spent lots of time playing with her! I definitely recommend booking with Gabriella :)

Schedule

I am currently seeking part-time work, which gives me plenty of time to invest in your pet's care and happiness! On weekdays I'm typically available from 8 AM to 6 PM. Weekend hours may vary, but I'm generally open from 9 AM to 7 PM. I like to work on a case-by-case basis and am very flexible, communication is key, and I'll always do my best to accommodate your needs.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Gabriella can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
I would love to know if your animal has any special needs or accommodations I need to be aware of before booking. I want to be sure I am able to take care of them to the highest of my ability. I have experience with all shapes and sizes, as long as I know what to expect, I'll be just fine.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
