I am a retired navy wounded warrior at the moment. Available anytime except 6am-8pm Mon-Sun . Had an arm injury a year ago and have a scar but other than that it doesn’t affect my ability to care for dogs. Currently volunteering in a program that trains service dogs for wounded vets.

Information Gabriella Z. would like to know about your pet

Any issues in social settings would be great to know just in case dog parks are out of the question due to anxiety or any other reason. And allergies to anything as well.

A typical day

I just got out of the military and have no prior engagements at the moment and that would make your pet first priority. Showing lots of love and attention as well as walks and playtime will be given to each and every pet!

Gabriella took such great care of my Pippi! She kept me updated with photos, which really put me at ease. Pippi clearly enjoyed her time there, and I felt confident she was in good hands. I’ll definitely be booking with Gabriella again when I travel.

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.
