Pet care experience

I'll be your pet's second family!

I'm a wildlife biologist and grew up with pets of all kinds. I've raised puppies and kittens and cared for senior dogs and cats. Your pet will join my family, including our well-socialized dog, my husband (also a wildlife biologist), and our 2 daughters. I will personally provide the care for your pet in a safe, loving, and playful environment, a quiet space when needed, a roomy, cozy interior, and a beautiful, large fenced yard.

Gabrielle is commutative, friendly, and good with my high-maintenance pups. Highly recommended!

Chaco was so happy during drop off. She must have remembered Gabby and the family. We enjoyed the pictures and communication while away. Chaco loved her swim in the river, walks with the family, and play time with Juni. Super grateful for Gabby and the family for caring for Chaco. 🐾

Gabrielle was amazing to work with and took wonderful care of my dog while we were gone! She provided updates every day which gave me such peace of mind. I was happy to know he was safe and being cared for in a family home environment, getting lots of pets and love! Highly recommend her for pet sitting!

I honestly feel so touched by the way Gabrielle took care of my two boys while I was in Sweden for more than two weeks. It is stressful to leave our four legged family members behind and the fact that I could tell in photos and in their demeanor when I got back that they had had excellent care and attention really means the world to me. I highly recommend Gabrielle and find her both responsible and kind and a true animal lover !!

Our pup, Chaco, was in amazing hands! She loved her walks, swims in the river, playtime with her best dog friend Juniper, and extra cuddles from the kids. We enjoyed getting updates and photos throughout the day. It made our days while being away. We also had a travel delay and Gabrielle was able to host our pup for another day. It was extremely helpful. Definitely love the family for taking amazing care of our pup! 💕🐾

Gabby was wonderful and I got so many pictures and videos of Lila. She also got so much exercise and got to go on hikes. Gabby and her family were wonderful and I know Lila would love to stay with them again.

Schedule

I work from home in a part-time position and care for our family dog while kids are at school. I'm able to offer daily walks and as many mealtimes, potty breaks, and attention as your pet needs. At night, pets sleep inside in whichever arrangement is preferred for them.

Safety, trust & environment

It can be so hard to leave a beloved pet, but worry not! I like to give pets their best life! I'm able to care for well-socialized pets and provide plenty of exercise and affection every day, and cozy resting spots where I am never far. I have a large fenced yard and 2 crates available if needed. Reactive dogs are not a good fit for my home.

Pets

A typical day

I love to go on sniff walks, hike, and play fetch. My family dog Juniper is a spayed female who loves a good play session with dog friends followed by cozy downtime. I typically go on a morning hike and evening sniff walk, with some playtime in the day (fetch/treat/chew). I'm very adaptable to your pet's needs and always follow the pet owner's guidance.

Please contact me to set up a meet & greet to introduce your pet to my home and ensure a good fit. I will ask about the preferred sleeping arrangement (we have everything from crate to sharing the bed), how your pet does with leashed walks and off-leash, whether your pet has special rules or needs, and whether it's ok to give your pet treats.
