Caring dog mom here to help

Hi! I’m Gabi, and I’m a lifelong animal lover who genuinely enjoys getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have a Labradoodle of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pet like family. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—whether that means walks, playtime, meals, medications, extra snuggles, or simply keeping them company while you’re away. I know some pets warm up immediately while others need a little more time and space, and I’m comfortable letting them set the pace. I work in healthcare, so being responsible, detail-oriented, and dependable is a huge part of who I am. I’ll always make sure you know how your pet is doing and will happily send plenty of pictures and updates while they’re in my care. My goal is for you to be able to relax knowing your furry family member is safe, loved, and getting lots of attention while you’re away. ❤️

Schedule

I work a rotating schedule in healthcare, so my availability varies from week to week rather than following a traditional Monday–Friday routine. The plus side is that I often have weekdays and other times available when many people are at work! I receive my work schedule in advance, so I’m able to plan pet care around it and will always be upfront about my availability before accepting a booking. On my days off, I have plenty of flexibility for drop-ins, walks, and spending quality time with your pets. I’m also happy to work with you ahead of time for upcoming trips or pet care needs.

Safety, trust & environment

I do my best to keep every pet’s routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, potty, and care instructions closely, and I’m happy to adjust to each pet’s individual personality and needs. In a client’s home, I respect both your pet’s routine and your space. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, potty breaks, and snuggles if they want them, while also giving more independent pets their space. I’m also happy to send photos and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing how they’re doing while you’re away. If I’m caring for a pet in my home, I focus on providing a safe, calm, and comfortable environment and making sure they have plenty of attention and supervision. I always want pets in my care to feel like they’re being treated as part of the family.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day with me depends on each pet’s personality, energy level, and normal routine. I love getting outside for walks, playing with favorite toys, spending time in the yard, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection throughout the day. For higher-energy pets, I’m happy to include longer walks, extra playtime, and activities that help keep them busy and entertained. For pets who prefer a slower pace, I’m just as happy relaxing with them, giving belly rubs, or keeping them company while they nap. My goal is to make their time with me feel fun, comfortable, and as close to their normal routine as possible.

Please let me know about any special needs, medical conditions, medications, allergies, behavioral quirks, or fears your pet may have. I’d also love to know how they typically do around new people, other animals, walks, feeding time, and being left alone. If your pet has any triggers, escape tendencies, food or toy guarding, leash reactivity, separation anxiety, or other behaviors I should be aware of, please let me know ahead of time. None of these are necessarily dealbreakers—I just want to be prepared so I can keep your pet comfortable and everyone safe. I also love knowing the little things that make your pet happy, like their favorite toys, treats, sleeping spots, commands, or routines. The more I know about them beforehand, the more I can make their time with me feel familiar and comfortable.
