Highlights
Pet care experience
Genuine love & care for your pets!
From second grade until this past year, I grew up taking care of my maltese shih tzu everyday, named Ruby. She was certainly a very spoiled and loved dog! Since she passed just a couple months ago, it's been strange lacking the comfort and company that Ruby always provided me when I was alone- whether that was on long hiking adventures or just relaxing. In spite of her passing, and my overall affection for animals, I'm eagerly looking forward to finding new furry friends to take care of, play with, and join me on my walks! Growing up, I also frequently took care of my neighbor's dogs which gave me experience with all different breeds, sizes, and behaviors of dogs as well as cats. And aside from all my love for Ruby, she was definitely stubborn and picky so I have experience in dealing with difficult dogs, keeping patience, and figuring out how to accommodate each individual dogs needs and personality. Additionally, my sister has been on rover for years and has watched countless dogs and cats through this platform, and I've helped her out a lot, which has obviously provided me with the most relevant experience possible!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Gabrielle was a wonderful sitter for Luna. My pup has a lot of energy, and needs consistent exercises Gabrielle took her on regular runs and regularly sent me photos of their adventures! I highly recommend Gabrielle if you have a high energy breed.

Gabby was WONDERFUL! We were so worried about Luna being able to get comfortable with a stranger, but Gabby just did an outstanding job of loving her and making her feel comfortable. We recommend her highly.
Gabrielle is one of the best sitters I've had in a long time! She is so pleasant to be around, very detail-oriented, super accommodating, and Princeton is so comfortable around her! I highly recommend Gabrielle and would definitely have her watch Princeton again.
Gabby was fantastic. She took great care of Mabel and we had nothing to worry about. She was super communicative and attentive. Gabby was easy going and accommodating for all Mabel’s puppy needs. Thanks Gabby 😊😊😊😊
Gabrielle watched our two dogs over the weekend. Our trip was smoother for peace of mind knowing that they were in good hands! She was responsible, gave updates, took them on walks. We came back to happy pups. You'd be fortunate to book her for dog care!

Schedule
I will be a junior at UW-Madison, but for now I am enjoying my summer in Madison without classes going on! Therefore, I have plenty of free time and so I'd love to fill it with caring for pets! Living at a prime location in the UW-Madison campus, and having easy access to my car means I can walk or drive to you and your pet and come to your home even if it's outside of campus.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Whether your dog likes to loiter around every mailbox we pass on walks, or if they like to run, then I'm the dog walker for them! I'm happy to do a casual stroll and bathroom break, and just as happy to do long, multiple-mile walks. As I've gotten used to my whole life, I will always pick up after your dog and will make sure they stay safe and close to me by using whatever leash and collar you can provide. And no matter the weather, I'm still happy to spend the time outside with your dog! If you just need me to stop by to feed your pet and take them for a potty break outside, then I will happily pick up after them in the yard and after they are done eating. I grew up in nice home with a Mom who always taught me to keep things clean, organized, have good manners, and when at others homes to always leave things cleaner than how it was when I arrived. I've upheld these morals in college and so if you'd like me to stay with your pet for extended periods of time at your home, I'm the most trustworthy and respectful person to hire!
A typical day
Long walks, visiting parks, and relaxing (belly-rubs, of course), are just some of the things I will happily do to entertain your pet(s)! Whatever activities they enjoy are the activities I will gladly do with them (:
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbsNo females in heatTakes only 1 client at a timeGabrielle can host up to 2 pets per night
- Really, I have no preferences or aversions to any pets, I am just happy to spend time with animals! Just a reminder though, that I do not have much experience in providing medication to dogs, but regardless of that I am willing and able to learn/accommodate to any minor special needs (: Please let me know ahead of time is that is the case, and we can discuss the special needs further.
