Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog sitting since 1997
I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have been caring for and loving them for as long as I can remember. I’ve always been trusted to help with feeding, walking, bathing, and giving dogs plenty of attention and affection while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable and happy, especially in the Scottsdale/Phoenix heat. I’ll make sure walks are done during cooler temperatures and provide plenty of shade, grass, water, and breaks so your pup stays safe and comfortable. My goal is to make your dog feel loved, cared for, and right at home while you’re away!

Ratings and reviews
Gabrielle was absolutely AMAZING, I could not have asked for a better sitter for my Opal ❤️ she sent multiple pics every day and made Opal feel right at home with her. I will absolutely be booking again.
Great job taking care of our babies!! Thank you
Gabrielle was absolutely fantastic and incredibly responsive. She was so kind and thoughtful, sending us daily updates and photos of our dog. When we needed a dog sitter at the last minute, she stepped up and agreed to take care of our dog with just 24 hours' notice. She was also extremely accommodating and flexible with pick-up and drop-off times. Highly recommend her!
Gabrielle was AMAZING! Great communication and such a kind soul. I had zero worries leaving my sweet Tuna in her care. I highly recommend anyone to use her for your sitter and we will definitely rebook in the future! She sent updates and photos which always makes me so relieved. Thanks, Gabrielle! We appreciate you SO much! 🐾🫶🏼
Gabrielle did a fantastic job watching Duncan and providing updates!
Very happy we found Gabrielle! Super easy to communicate with, and Lady looked like she had a blast from all the updates I was sent :) Will be booking with her again.

Schedule
I have open availability and am happy to work with your schedule whenever possible! I do have another job and am typically away from the house for about 4–6 hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Please keep this in mind when booking, especially if your pup is not comfortable staying home alone. If your dog needs someone with them at all times, please let me know before booking so we can make sure I’m the right fit for your pup! Dog Walks: I’m currently available before 7:00 AM (which is great for early-morning potty breaks, walks, or playtime) and after 2:30 PM. I’ll always prioritize walks during the cooler parts of the day, especially during the warmer months!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I absolutely love being outdoors and going on walks, so fresh air, exercise, and plenty of outdoor playtime are some of my favorite parts of caring for dogs! I’ll make sure your pup gets plenty of attention, activity, and opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. Since I’m away for about 5 hours on certain days for work, I’ll always make sure your pup gets a good walk and some quality time before I leave, and of course plenty of attention and activity when I return. I also recommend bringing a favorite toy, blanket, pillow, or treats from home. Having something familiar can help your pup feel more comfortable and settled while you’re away. If your dog needs a crate or has any specific routines, preferences, or comfort items, just let me know! I’m very flexible and happy to accommodate your pup’s individual needs.
A typical day
I know some great dog parks in the area that are easily walkable, and I have plenty of dog toys that I’m happy to put to good use if your pup enjoys playtime! I genuinely enjoy spending time outdoors with dogs and making sure they get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and fun. During the hot summer months, I take extra precautions to keep your pup safe and comfortable. I’m mindful of hot pavement and your dog’s paws, and I have numerous grassy courtyards around my apartment that are great for quick potty breaks. For longer walks, I prefer going early in the morning or later in the evening when temperatures are cooler and the sun isn’t as intense. Your dog’s comfort and safety always come first!

- Please let me know if there are any special needs, routines, behaviors, or preferences I should be aware of before caring for your pet. I love all dogs and cats, but I want to make sure I know anything important about your pup or kitty ahead of time so I can provide the best care possible! Every pet is different, and I’m happy to accommodate their individual needs and routines. Whether your pet has a favorite activity, special treats, a specific feeding schedule, or just needs a little extra patience and attention, I’d love to know! Please feel free to message me — I’d absolutely love the opportunity to take care of your pups & cats! 🐾
