Availability

I do Rover full-time, so I am extremely flexible when it comes to scheduling and am more than happy to adapt to your pet's needs. Please note, I generally do not accept last-minute bookings and would prefer at least one week's advance notice so that there is ample time to schedule a meet-and-greet. However, if you have any questions regarding availability, please do not hesitate to reach out. I am reachable by phone from 8:00AM to 10:00PM.

Safety, trust & environment

I will care for your pets according to their needs and schedule. I ask that all clients prepare written or typed instructions prior to the booking to ensure that your pet receives the best care. For house-sitting, I will stay at your home full-time. I avoid all dogs during walks to prioritize your pet's safety. Please disclose any specific pet behavioral concerns (such as anxiety or reactivity), or the presence of any exotic pets within your home (such as fish, rabbits, birds, reptiles, etc.). Please let me know if you have any security cameras in your home - clients are required to disclose this according to Rover's community guidelines, which can be viewed here: rover.com/blog/community-guidelines/ Thank you for your interest!

Information Gabrielle R. would like to know about your pet

I require meet-and-greets with all clients. I would like to know about your pet's daily routine, specifically the following: 1) feeding schedule, 2) potty break schedule, 3) exercise needs, 4) any health accommodations such as medications or dietary restrictions, 5) any behavioral concerns, 6) whether or not they are allowed on furniture, 7) anything else that you'd like to share!

A typical day

Let me know what your pet's favorite activities are! I can take them for a walk around the neighborhood, play with their favorite toys, or just hang out!

Pet care experience

❗️PLEASE READ BEFORE SENDING A REQUEST❗️ I am currently only accepting low-energy pets (seniors, calm animals, or pets with low activity needs). I am unable to accommodate high-energy, reactive, or physically demanding pets at this time. Hi there, my name is Gabi! I have been around animals my entire life - I helped care for our family dogs growing up, and have been entrusted by relatives to care for their pets. I have been doing house-sitting and drop-ins for clients through Rover since 2019. I offer both house-sitting and drop-ins, and I accept both dogs and cats! (Note: The dogs on my profile belong to my parents, so you will not need to worry about them!)

Gabrielle was a wonderful sitter for the week that I had her drop in on my 2 cats. My cats are 16 and 13 and are definitely in house cats. One is friendly and the other is skittish and shy. One needed meds. She visited them and gave daily feedback and sent pictures. She also administered the meds, fed them and cleaned the litter. She even watered my large plant. She exceeded my expectations. I will use her again and recommend her wholeheartedly.

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.
