Highlights
Pet care experience
Work from home & fully fenced yard
ABOUT ME My name is Gabriella, 33, I work from home full time and volunteer at the Humane Society whenever my schedule allows. I've always been an animal lover and began pet setting for family & friends when I was about 13 years old — 20 years ago now! I finally rescued my very own dog (Yeti) in 2024. We spend a lot of time at the dog park, hanging out in the backyard, and exploring nearby trails. ABOUT YETI Proudly adopted from Kentucky Humane Society in Louisville. Yeti is a 2.5 year old Great Pyrenees/German Shepherd mix. He is incredibly friendly to all dogs & humans and is great at sharing his toys. Given how he interacted with his four legged friends at the dog parks, I quickly learned that he plays well with all sizes, ages, and breeds. We have now hosted several dogs (for a week or long weekend) and we both love having the extra energy around the house!

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Gabriella was amazing with our 2 babies while we were away on vacation. We did a meet and greet a few weeks before and our dogs approved. She did 2 drop-ins a day and sent pictures and progress reports each time. She also lives within walking distance to our house so I loved the convenience. My daughter ended up not having to work on the last day we had booked Gabriella so she modified the booking, removed that day and didn’t even charge a cancellation fee which we were not expecting but truly appreciated. Things happen and she was so understanding and ok with it. We will definitely use her again and not be worried about going out of town with her so close by. Highly recommend. She handled our wrecking ball of a Pitbull with ease. 🤭
We highly recommend Gabriella!! She is very friendly, loves dogs, communicates constantly! She never kept us guessing- always pictures and much love to our Shishon, Winston!! He warmed up to her dog, Yeti, and always seemed at home. Thank you, Gabriella, you made our time away much less stressful!💕💙🐾
Gabriella is dependable and great with animals. Highly recommend!

Schedule
MY SCHEDULE It's wide open! I work from home full time as a cybersecurity consultant and also volunteer for the Humane Society periodically. My preference would be to host your pup in my home or provide drop in visits. I’m a homebody so when I do host a pup at my house, I am home with them the whole time. I do also enjoy drop in visits because it forces me to get out and go for a walk. I’m not on Rover for the money, I do it because I genuinely enjoy it.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
MY HOME I live in a single family home with a fully fenced backyard where Yeti likes to lay in the sun and chew on sticks. Inside the home is fairly minimal (aside from dog toys everywhere) so we don’t have any fragile decor or household items that could be harmful to pets. Our neighborhood is very quiet with sidewalks and a nearby park & golf course, which is ideal for our daily walks.
Pets
A typical day
OUR TYPICAL DAY We are regulars at the dog parks (Beckley Creek & Tom Sawyer), so with your permission ahead of time, I will happily include your pup in those adventures! We also have safe walking areas within our community that we frequent. Most importantly, we have a fully fenced backyard and a basket of toys just waiting to be played with.
