I have a fenced in yard and two dogs that will gladly keep your animal company. I don't usually board others' pets in my own home, but if the situation is urgent or desired by the owners, please reach out to me!

Information Gabrielle L. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there are any special circumstances regarding your animals that I must be aware of to take care of them effectively and efficiently. I will do my best to accommodate for their needs and will display effective communication to the owner should I have any questions or concerns.

A typical day

I love engaging the animals I work with in all sorts of activities. I love taking dogs for walks, interactive playtime, and enjoying relaxation time! By incorporating different activities into their daily routine, I ensure that the dogs I care for are not only physically healthy but also mentally stimulated and emotionally fulfilled. It is always up to the owners to provide me with any other activities/suggestions they might want or need for their animals.

Your fur babies, my top priority!

Pet care experience

I have been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I grew up with three golden retrievers, and they were simply my best friends. Since a young age, I have been relied on by friends and family to care for their dogs and cats when they are away. I honestly think my love for animals (more specifically dogs) has only grown as I've gotten older! I have experience working with all sorts of breeds and temperaments. One of my own dogs, a Labrador Retriever and Pitbull mix, has a very anxious temperament - giving me the experience and knowledge of how to care with dogs similar. I do several sittings outside the app with friends and family as well, so I have references if you would prefer that when looking for a sitter. Additionally, my partner, Eric, helps me out a lot when it comes to sittings. He is a fellow animal lover himself and loves every single fur baby that he meets! I always ask the owners whether it is okay for him to help me and if they prefer, for him to meet their fur babies as well. Whether you need a drop-in, an overnight sitter, or someone to take your fur babies for a daily walk, I am your girl :)

Gabby was amazing! She communicated and sent pictures while we were away. We returned to happy dogs and a spotless house. Highly recommend Gabby!

Gabrielle was wonderful with the dogs. She was very aware of their personalities and observant to their needs. I came home to a 16 1/2 year old who was obviously more energetic and happier than when I left. This tells me he has all the attention he desired. I really appreciated the texts and photos that were sent to update me during the week long trip. All was in perfect order upon my return. Definitely will be reaching out again ❣️

Gabby went above and beyond while taking care of my cat. My cat can get pretty anxious when left alone for too long, and Gabby was so thoughtful—she noticed how long I’d be gone and added an extra visit to help her feel more comfortable at home. She’s friendly, a great communicator, and truly committed to providing the best care. I will definitely be booking with her again!

Gabrielle did a fantastic job. She communicated with us every day, sent photos and asked good questions when something unexpected occurred. All 5 pets (3 dogs, 2 cats) appeared very happy with her around and the house was kept in very nice shape while she stayed. I would recommend her and hire again.
