Safety, trust & environment

Safety is always my top priority. I carefully check leashes, collars, harnesses, gates, and surroundings before every walk or visit. I follow your pet’s routine closely and make sure they feel secure, comfortable, and cared for at all times. Your pet’s well-being is never rushed or overlooked.

Information Gabrielle D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special requirements to ensure there comfortable. Are there any trauma responses/reactions I should be aware of? Are there any obvious/repetitive communication styles that I should be aware of?

A typical day

Each visit is tailored to your pet’s needs and energy level. Walks are structured and engaging, with time for sniffing, exercise, and enrichment. I also provide playtime, fresh water, feeding if needed, and calm companionship. Whether your dog is high-energy or prefers a slower pace, I adjust accordingly.

Gabrielle did a FANTASTIC job with short notice dogsitting at my apartment complex with the pup. Gabrielled kept up with updates and it was awesome seeing photos of Arya having a great time with another person. Definitely recommend Gabrielle and will continue to keep her updated with any other dogsitting adventures with Arya!!!!

Gabby was able to come meet my cat before taking care of him, which was great! Pluto is an older cat with some medical needs and Gabby seemed comfortable giving him insulin. She visited him at the right timing. Previous petsitters from Rover have all shared lots of pictures and updates; Gabby only shared 1-2. I didn’t state this expectation initially so that may be on me, but it was hard to tell how much time she spent interacting with him based on the pictures. Overall, Gabby seemed competent and took care of Pluto effectively!

Gabrielle took good care of my cat Luna while I was away. She was kind, professional, and incredibly attentive. It’s such a relief knowing that I have someone trustworthy and caring to rely on. I definitely recommend her service.

After having a great experience with our last sitter, we had to find a new sitter when she moved and this was our first time with Gabrielle. We had several major concerns. Firstly, she missed the final visit. The payment was corrected after we reached out following the term. Secondly, there was no water when we returned. The fountain has several days of capacity so it looked like it had never been refilled. The cats were very thirsty and were okay fortunately. Thirdly, Gabrielle brought another person into our home without discussing it with us first, which was a breach of trust. Lastly, Gabrielle did not take the time to provide feedback after each visit in Rover as past sitters have and she also spent minimal time with the cats during her visits. Gabrielle did provide food per the instructions and keep the litter box cleaned. Based on this experience we will find a new sitter for the next time that we are away and be more careful about pre-screening.

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.
