I love walks as much as your dog!
Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Gabrielle- I live in Apex, NC and am currently in an online masters program for pharmacology, so I have a really flexible schedule and would love to help out with your pets if you need an extra set of hands (or legs!) for walks and home visits. Over the past 9 years I’ve been a dog walking and foster volunteer for various shelters. This past year I “foster failed” and adopted Goodwin, a 6-yr-old pit mix, from APS Durham. Before getting into fostering, I spent a few years as a veterinary assistant in New Fairfield, CT, and loved that I got to help create a calm and healthy environment for owners and their pets. With all of this experience, I’m very comfortable working with dogs that need medications or special attention, so long as clear instructions are given. In my opinion there’s never too much time spent with a dog, and I’m happy to spend my time with yours :).
Reviews
Gabi is very professional at her work. She made sure my pet had a proper walk and updated me every time with all minute details on each walk. I would highly recommend her services
She is amazing! She was always flexible with my schedule and took such good care of Lola. I would recommend her 100%
Our dog loves his walks with Gabrielle! She takes him on nice long walks and is always on time. She sends us pictures and responds quickly. We have an 8 month old Labrador who can be quite the handful but Gabrielle has no problems!
Gabrielle's love for animals was apparent the minute we saw her with our Sophie. She was warm, energetic and immediately caught on to the daily routine. We trust her with our girl for walks and overnights. Sophie always appears happy and content after her time with Gabrielle. Great sitter... Highly recommend!

For home visits, my goal is to keep your dog as comfortable as possible in their normal environment - whether this means they want all of my attention or none of it! I’d love if you could let me know what level of attention your pet thrives with ahead of time. In addition, I want to be as respectful as possible of your home. Please let me know of any boundaries ahead of time.
Information Gabrielle G. would like to know about your pet
If you think it’s important, it probably is! Please give me as much information on your dog’s personality, quirks, likes, and dislikes ahead of time so I can make sure they feel comfortable with me.
A typical day
Like my profile says, I really do love walks as much as your dog. If you don’t live in a walkable neighborhood, I’m happy to drive your dog to a greenway or park and walk around with them there (with your permission, of course). If I’m scheduled for a home visit instead of a walk, some of my favorite games to play with my own dogs are fetch/tug and find-the-treat :)

Availability
As an online student, my schedule is super flexible so I can come over for walks and visits any day of the week, on relatively short notice.
