Safety, trust & environment

My home features a spacious, securely gated yard where dogs can roam freely and safely. Located in a close knit neighborhood, I regularly care for pets belonging to friends and neighbors, so your dog will feel part of a familiar, trusted community rather than in a stranger’s space. Whether I am caring for your pet in my home or yours, I provide consistent, attentive care, including regular walks, outdoor playtime, and a calm, comfortable environment where your dog can truly relax and feel at home.

Information Gabriella Z. would like to know about your pet

I’d love to know anything important about your pet ahead of time so I can make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Things like diet restrictions, treats they can or cannot have, medications, routines, and how they do around other dogs or new people are all really helpful. I also like knowing what makes them anxious, what their triggers may be, what helps calm them down, and any habits or behaviors I should be aware of. Every animal is different, and the more I know ahead of time, the better I can care for them in a way that feels safe and familiar for them.

A typical day

I usually bring the dogs I care for along with me throughout my day when I can. We’ll go on long walks, find quiet outdoor spots to hang out, or go on hikes depending on the dog’s energy and comfort level. At home, I try to keep things calm and comfortable. I spend time with them, play with them, and make sure they feel relaxed and cared for instead of just being left alone all day.

Pet care experience

Most sitters are available. I’m actually there. I’ve spent years caring for dogs professionally, but honestly? I just love their company. There’s something about a dog curling up next to you or going wild when you grab the leash that never gets old for me. Your dog gets a fully fenced yard to explore, one-on-one attention, and someone who genuinely looks forward to every wag, every walk, every moment. I send photos so you can see for yourself, not because I have to, that’s just how I do things. Because at the end of the day, your peace of mind matters.

Gabriella was wondering with my dogs and taking incredible care of my home during her stay. She sent plenty of photos and updates, and I could tell that the dogs were at peace with her love and comfort. She is the best!

Gabby was amazing! This was my first time using rover and I was extremely nervous to have a stranger walk our dogs because they are large and one is very reactive. Gabby handled them so well. She also spent more time with them than I expected and that was really heartwarming knowing they had some fun and got some love while we were on vacation. She sent pictures as well which meant a lot! Because of Gabby my husband and I have the opportunity to take more vacations than usual and will be booking Gabby every time. Thank you again!

Gabriella is a wonderful dog sitter. She has kept my dogs on numerous occasions and treats them like a doting mother would. She is conscientious and caring, great with medications and limitations and is very timely. She has taken them for pup cups and sends pictures of their adventures throughout their stays. I couldn’t ask for more!

Gabriella has cared for my three dogs on numerous occasions and I trust her completely with them. My oldest dog is 16 years old and my youngest is a very hyper 3 year old. She attends to their individual needs and makes sure to give them each the appropriate amount of exercise as well as plenty of affection. She also takes great care of my house when she stays here. She keeps things clean and waters the plants when needed. She is communicative and responsible. I can't recommend her enough!
