Pet care experience
Owner away? I walk, sit, and stay!
Hi there! I am a well versed animal lover, ready to care for your pet next! From my families first animals, a Golden Retriever and a highly energetic German Shepard, to my current pet sitting family who has a a deaf/blind cat, I am always looking for new pets to treat as my own. I do work M-F, 9-5, as an infant care specialist in my part time career, so I always excel in being trustworthy responsible, and absolutely loving to those I care for. My experience with pet care is vast, but I pride myself on having knowledge in a variety of areas. Such a caring for both young and elderly cats & dogs. As well as giving the proper medication to them in a timely manner! I am incredibly fond of hiking, so any opportunity for dog walking is right up my alley! The longer, the better (depending on your pets limits of course!). I am experienced in both overnight pet sitting, and drop ins! As well as making anxious/nervous pets feel at ease with a possible stranger by requesting their favorite toys/treats! I am there to match their energy. Excellent communication skills to keep up with the busy life of each pet, and to give each pet owner the sense of ease as they're out of town! I pride myself on daily updates, and any behavioral differences with each pet I care for. I promise to give endless belly rubs, and always ensure a safe and fun environment for your fur babies. Let’s chat!

Safety, trust & environment
I do not offer boarding currently, so a majority of my work has been at other's homes! While I am there, I pride myself on keeping a safe environment for all animals. Such as scanning the area for possible choking hazards, electrical hazards, dangerous food that may have been left out, and even cleaning supplies. I also like to keep a tidy space, so I routinely check the litter box/backyard for any surprises! As well as any possible signs of bodily harm &/or vomit in the house. I always like to sweep and mop if I can, so it's a clean space for all of the pets, and it gives the owners something to look forward to! I take the time to get to learn your pets behaviors and routines, so they are as comfortable as possible! This usually includes making sure they are eating all of their meals without any pain, giving them tons of pets & scratches, engaging them with their favorite toys & sounds, and of course, cuddles! I'm very hands on so you can count on me to have loads of fun with your fur babies! I also like to keep the owners up to date during my duration of pet sitting. So this may include cute pictures, a summary of their day, any questions I may have, and a possible "report card" for the time spent caring for said pets!
Ratings and reviews
I'm glad my cats are continuing to get more comfortable with Gabrielle! I was gone for a long trip, and both of my cats were happy and healthy when I got home. My house is also how I left it. Gabrielle is excellent at communication, too!
Thank you again for being diligent and communicative! I'm glad my cats are starting to feel more comfortable with you
This was a great first booking! Both my cats are healthy and happy. Gabrielle was very communicative and also my house is just as I left it. Thank you!!!
Gabby was excellent, I highly recommend her!!!!
So wonderful! Great communication and pictures. The buddies all had a great time!
Gabby was amazing with our pups. We had to quickly find a new dog sitter and Gabby responded right away and arranged a time to come meet us and our dogs. She provided detailed updates and pictures each morning and night, and left a very cool detailed report card, which was a very thoughtful personal touch. She also left our home very clean and tidy. Highly recommend Gabby, we will absolutely be booking her for all future needs!

Schedule
I am a part time nanny on M-F, 9-5, so in my free time I enjoy caring for others pets as well! I have a very nurturing personality, so this fits in great. I try to fill any off time that I may have with pet care or sticking my nose in a book! Most recently, I have been spending a majority of my evenings and weekends with pet sitting. But I am still available early mornings as well!

- Please let know if your animal has any special needs ahead of time. Such as certain diets, special food, certain feeding periods, if they’re sensitive to anything (plants/smells), mobility issues, blindness, deafness, etc. Also, I always request to know their favorite toys/treats so they have something familiar to look forward to! I always want to make sure each visit is handled responsibly!
