Pet care experience
Attentive Care for Every Pet
I grew up with two cats and currently have a 5-year-old Golden Retriever, whom I’ve raised since she was a puppy. She’s a lively, energetic girl who used to be quite reactive, but after completing training at The Dog Wizard in Fort Myers, I gained valuable skills in managing pet reactivity and anxiety. The program taught me how to help dogs feel safe and secure, as well as how to recognize potential triggers and handle them appropriately during walks. Through this experience, I’ve become comfortable with standard commands, proper leash handling, and reinforcing positive behavior. With the Florida heat, I’m always mindful of pavement temperatures to protect sensitive paws. I stay highly attentive on walks, ensuring pets don’t pick up anything harmful from the ground and carefully monitoring our surroundings for potential triggers—such as other dogs, strollers, bicycles, or traffic—based on my own experience managing a reactive dog. My pets have always been like family to me, and I will treat yours with the same level of care, attention, and love. I’ve also pet sat for many friends, working with dogs of various temperaments and personalities. I understand that every dog and cat is unique, and I take the time to build trust with each pet in a way that makes them feel comfortable and cared for.

Ratings and reviews
Gaby was wonderful! She is so kind and amazing with dogs. This was my first time using Rover or any pet sitting services for my 4 month puppy and she did so great, my puppy loves her. She saved me when I didn’t have any support at the time. I made a mistake with scheduling and she was also very understanding! 10/10 will continue to book her in the future :)
It was my first time using Rover and I always get anxious leaving my pup, but Gaby was AMAZING!!! She kept me informed throughout each visit. She took such great care of my baby and if we ever need someone in the future we will definitely be contacting her again!
Gaby was incredible with my dog. She also knew all the obedience commands like heel, sit, place and break which makes a really big difference when your dogs training needs to be upkept. In my case leaving my puppy for the weekend was hard because we are in the middle of training but I knew she was in good hands and that her training would be upkept.
Gaby is not only a great sitter but also great at keeping with my dogs training. My dog has reactivity issues and Gaby knew exactly how to handle all the nuances of a high energy dog with a strong personality. Would reccomend to a friend!
Gabrielle took great care of my pitbull, Glinda, while I was away, and I really appreciated how attentive she was the entire time. She followed all instructions closely, including administering Glinda’s medication exactly as needed. Glinda can get a bit anxious when I’m gone, depending on who she is with, but she was calm, comfortable, and clearly well cared for with Gabrielle. It meant a lot knowing she wasn’t just being watched, but actually getting the attention and care she’s used to at home.
Gaby was great my dog Nala is a rescue dog and not an easy one, especially with strangers I had to leave for a vacation for a week and Gaby was absolutely amazing in caring, loving and taking care of all the needs of Nala. She was super communicative. Send me pictures and videos and everything that they did from walks to dog parks she even bathed her, which I usually need to go to a professional to do and cut our nails. Thank you Gaby for amazing care. I highly recommend you!
