Safety, trust & environment

Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, my top priority is making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. For dogs, I follow their regular routine as closely as possible including walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and any training cues you use at home. If they’re staying with me, they’ll have a cozy, pet-friendly space, plenty of exercise, and lots of attention. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and your dog’s familiar surroundings to reduce stress and keep them happy. For cats, I provide a calm and quiet environment where they can feel secure. I keep up with litter box cleaning, feeding, and any medications or special instructions. Whether I’m visiting your home or they’re staying with me, I let each cat set the pace for interaction — whether that’s playtime, cuddles, or peaceful companionship. Every pet is different, and I’m committed to adjusting my care to meet their individual needs!

Information Gabrielle A. would like to know about your pet

It’s important for me to know if your pet has any special needs, medications, or specific behaviors ahead of time. I’ve worked with a wide variety of pets and am more than happy to accommodate whatever your fur baby needs to feel safe and well cared for. The more I know, the better I can tailor my care to make sure they’re happy and comfortable!

A typical day

I love tailoring activities to each pet’s personality and energy level! For dogs, that might mean long walks around the neighborhood, off-leash play in a fenced-in yard, hiking adventures, or visits to the local dog park. I also enjoy playing fetch, tug-of-war, or working on simple commands if your pup enjoys training games. For cats, I create a calm and fun environment with interactive toys like feather wands, laser pointers, and puzzle feeders. If your cat is more relaxed, I’m happy to provide cozy cuddle time, brushing, or just quiet companionship while they nap or bird-watch from the window. No matter the pet, my goal is to make sure they feel happy, safe, and engaged while you’re away!

Compassionate, Reliable Care

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Gabby a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and even small pets like hamsters and snakes. I grew up with dogs in the home and today I’m a proud pet parent to Theodore (a sweet Chihuahua/Pitbull mix) and a cat Aurora. Whether your pet is high energy, shy, or somewhere in between, I take the time to make a real connection so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved just like family. I offer a flexible schedule and am happy to accommodate last-minute bookings, early mornings, late evenings, or anything in between. Need a dog walker on your lunch break? A sitter while you’re out of town? Just running late from work? I’ve got you covered. I’m also open to caring for hamsters, reptiles, and other unique pets just reach out for custom pricing! Your pet’s happiness, safety, and routine are my top priorities. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry (or scaly!) best friend!
