Pet care experience

Highly Experienced Animal Lover

Hi! I am a responsible 33-year-old pet care professional who loves all animals. I have been a pet owner since I was 7 years old, and I currently own two sweet dogs. With over 10 years of hands-on experience in the pet industry, I have operated my independent pet care business on Rover since 2016 while maintaining a 5-star rating. My background spans clinical support work at a veterinary hospital, team leadership at daycare and boarding facilities, specialized pet nutrition retail, and extensive pet sitting for numerous clients. I am comfortable in all settings, including multi-pet households, high-needs or senior animals, and pets of any age or temperament. I also have experience with gentle bathing, basic clinical support, and positive reinforcement training techniques, and I feel completely confident around all breeds of dogs.  Because your pet’s safety, emotional comfort, and overall well-being are my highest priorities, I continuously invest in advanced, specialized credentials. I am Pet First Aid & CPR Certified (renewed Feb 2025), Fear Free Certified to ensure a stress-free experience, a Certified Dog Bite Prevention Educator focused on canine body language and safe handling, and a Certified Pet Bereavement Companion Specialist. I am detail-oriented, hardworking, and dedicated to giving your pets the exact care, patience, and love they need while providing you with complete peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members, so feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a meet-and-greet!

Safety, trust & environment

I offer drop-in visits and dog walks in the client's home. With over a decade of pet industry experience, including veterinary clinical support, I prioritize creating a safe, low-stress environment tailored to your pet's needs. I am Fear Free Certified, Pet CPR & First Aid Certified, and a Certified Dog Bite Prevention Educator, meaning I am constantly observing your pet’s body language and behavior for subtle signs of stress, pain, or illness. I am also certified as a Pet Bereavement Companion Specialist, bringing an extra layer of patience and empathy to senior pets or animals navigating big life transitions. Whether administering routine care or handling unexpected situations, your pet's health and safety are always my top priority.

Gabrielle is so wonderful with our dog! He is aging and needs some extra love usually so it’s wonderful to have some assurance that’s he is happy as a clam in Gabrielle’s care!

Gabrielle is incredible! Not only did she listen to all of the little special requests I had about how to handle my girl in the best way possible, she went above and beyond sending me pictures and spending as much of the 30 minute visit out on a walk like I requested! I can tell she loved my girl well, and would highly recommend her to anyone who is nervous about leaving their baby in the care of someone else!

We booked Gabrielle a second time to care for our diabetic cat, and she again exceeded our expectations! She’s not only conscientious in making sure that our pet was cared for, but she also goes the extra mile to give her TLC and love. We’ll book her every time!

Schedule

I work part-time, which gives me great flexibility throughout the week. I am available for visits, walks, and care anytime on the weekends, as well as offering open, flexible availability during the weekdays. My schedule allows me to easily accommodate midday check-ins, early mornings, and evenings to fit your pet's exact routine.

To provide the safest and most stress-free experience, it is helpful to know about any medical conditions, dietary restrictions, or medication schedules ahead of time. I also ask owners to share any specific behavioral tendencies—such as resource guarding toys or food, territorial behavior, or reactivity on walks—so I can manage their environment with proper care. Knowing your pet's comfort level around unfamiliar dogs and humans helps me plan safe, enjoyable walks. Finally, sharing your pet's exact daily routine, favorite rewards, and typical triggers allows me to seamlessly match their normal home environment and keep them happy and comfortable!
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
