Pet care experience
I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life. In college, I used to volunteer and foster cats/dogs for over a year. During the COVID pandemic, I impulsively adopted my cat, Remi! He is my literal baby and I spoil him so much! I currently live in a household with 1 cat (mentioned above) and 1 roommate. 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 babies.
Reviews
Gabi is awesome and took wonderful care for our babies. We definitely plan on using her again!
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.
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.

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!
Home
Information Gabrielle M. would like to know about your pet
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 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.
A typical day
My daily job doesn’t allow me to be active as I’m usually driving my car all over the state (almost literally), sitting down at my desk, or working from home! I use my opportunity (and pleasure) of caring for your animals 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 work with.

Availability
I work in child welfare, with a flexible, self-made schedule. I try to stick to a M-F 9-5, however, have the ability to flex my text and work remote. I create my own schedule so during my stays, I especially try ti make sure not to schedule tasks in the field or only schedule visits that are local to your area so I can remain as remote as possible (as my job requires me to travel all around the state, sometimes)! I’m available almost all of the time unless already booked, so advance notice is very much appreciated, even if you “maybe” have plans! I love giving priority to my repeat clients, as well. This is why advance notice is important. 😊
