Happy pups make my day!
Pet care experience
I have experience with Papillons, Pugs, Puggles, and Boxers. I currently live with two Papillons--a 10yo pure and a 2yo Jack Russel mix--and am often left alone with them. I supervise play between the mix and the Boxer next door; the two of them are best friends. I have house-sat overnight for an apartment with a Boxer and a cat. I am able to give dogs their medication in the form of pills, and am willing and able to learn other methods as needed. If a dog prefers to sleep up in the bed with me, I have absolutely no problem with it at all. Animals in general tend to really like me, so I find it fun, easy, and rewarding to work with them.
Reviews
Gabrielle was on-call for the birth of our new baby and went above and beyond to make sure we didn’t have to worry about our pets at home. She’s a life saver and has always been here when we’ve needed her.
We don't trust our pets with anyone else! We have used Gaby for years now, we highly recommend her.
Gabrielle was very friendly but I will not be hiring her for my pups again. She was kind during the meet and greet and she is definitely an animal lover as she was kind to my pups. However, she didn’t listen to directions too well which ended up stressing me out during my trip. She didn’t send any updates unless I asked her. I mentioned I expected updates often as I’m a worried pup mother. She also didn’t listen to some important things about my dogs such as my dog being food aggressive or that they are not crate trained. Thankfully, I had my camera to see what was happening because I was not getting updates. She was eating on the couch with my dogs out after I repeatedly told her my dog IS toy and food aggressive and will attack my other dog. I also mentioned not to leave them in crates when she leaves as they will cry. When she left today, she left them in the crates and they were crying for an hour until I checked my camera and noticed. She did thankfully come back to let them out. I think her other great reviews do really reflect her as a dog sitter but I personally did not feel as though she was an amazing dog sitter. If your dogs don’t require anything but love and attention, she will be great. If your dogs are a little tricky, I don’t recommend booking with her. Thank you anyway Gabrielle.
Gabrielle took really good care of Buddy and Lily. Buddy got along with Gabrielle right away, which is not the case with everyone. When we arrived home after 4 days away, the house was clean, Buddy and Lily seemed relaxed, and Lily’s litter box and surroundings were tidy. We will definitely have Gabrielle back!

What is the dog's personality? Response to scenting unknown dogs on my person? How does the dog do with people they don't know all too well? What do I need to know concerning routines ( i.e mealtimes/amount of food, medication, bathroom breaks, walks, etc)?
A typical day
Walks will be around the home neighborhood and in nearby parks, if the owner consents. Activities will include play of the dog's preference and I can enforce training the owner is already going through.
