Pet care experience

Caring, Kind & Playful Animal Lover

I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and in college I used to volunteer and foster cats/dogs. My partner was a dog trainer prior to joining the service, so I’ve also learned a lot from him, too. My husband and I have a Belgian Malinois puppy that we are training. During the pandemic, I impulsively adopted my cat, Remi! He is my literal baby and I am very meticulous about the care I give him and people I trust to care for him when I’m away. I’d be happy to provide services to you and your furry family member(s). You can be sure I will treat your animals with kindness, love, and care just as I do my own. This is a side-job for me as my full time job is working in foster care. I have the ability to work from home M/W and can be flexible during the week with advance notice.

I’m so thankful for Gabi’s fantastic care! She gave me such peace of mind when leaving my two dogs for a long weekend, sending updates and pictures each day. It was great she was able to watch them at our home so it was less stressful for them. One of my dogs needs medication every twelve hours and has special dietary needs and Gabi handled it all. She’ll definitely be my first call if we need someone again in the future.

Dog Walking • Jul 12, 2023

Gabrielle was great! She was quick to communicate, consistent and always sent me updates about how the dog walk went! I will definitely reach out to her again if I need a dog walker/sitter.

Gabi watched our two dogs over the weekend in our home. Enzo who is 10 and very protective and Ellie who is deaf who also requires extra attention which includes not getting off the leash. Gabi handled both dogs very well despite these specific challenges. Everyone one was in good spirits when we returned. We now have more confidence planning more trips now that we have worked with such a responsible and reliable dog sitter.

Gabrielle did a great job taking care of our 15 yr old senior pup, Addie. We have already booked her for another extended trip. Addie was very comfortable with her and loved all the attention she got. Highly recommend!

Schedule

I worked in foster care and typically WFH M/W. Throughout the week, I’m in the field or at my office, but I can be flexible with my schedule with advance notice. I’m available almost all of the time unless already booked. Advance notice is very much appreciated, even if you “maybe” have plans! I love giving priority to my repeat clients, as well. 😊

Safety, trust & environment

During drop in visits, I always ensure to follow all specific instructions and be as respectful to the home as possible (e.g., not leaving a mess or lights on, etc.). I also try my best to take quality photos and specific updates, if applicable! Also, my partner trained dogs prior to joining the service, so he will sometimes tag along with me if you are comfortable with this!

Pets

A typical day

My daily job doesn’t allow me to be active as I’m usually driving my car around Duval, Clay and Nassau, sitting down at my desk, or working from home! I use the opportunity (and pleasure) of caring for client’s pets as my time to be active! I enjoy going on walks no matter how short or long. Any requests for activities, I am more than happy to participate in!

You know your fur baby best! Let me know what I can do or what special needs/requests you may need so I can best accommodate you. Commands, routines, and “tells” (ex: circling the door to go pee, hand on lap when hungry, pet does not like to be touched on nose or paw, etc.) would be great to know! Please let me know if your dog pulls on the leash, is aggressive/reactive or not friendly towards children, males, or other dogs, etc. Additionally, I have had family pets that don’t like their bellies touched or little quirks so areas of the pet to avoid would be very helpful to know. The more you tell me, the better (I love details!!!), although I always try to err on the side of caution in all situations.
