Availability
I have availability almost any day of the week (including weekends) for drop ins, walks, or holiday/overnight stays. I love incorporating positive reinforcement training techniques and enrichment ideas while I’m there with the animals.

Safety, trust & environment
I live in a safe apartment complex that’s located within walking distance of Francis Park for long daily walks and play time. I’m also a ten minute drive from Tower Grove park as well and enjoy taking the pups to local farmer’s markets and events to keep them stimulated during the stay.

Health issues, medications, activity levels, food allergies, favorite toys, likes to sleep in bed with the sitter or enjoys their personal space etc. The more you know the better.
A typical day
I love being outside. Weather permitting of course. I love letting them soak up some rays and play fetch, go for walks, get an occasional pup cup from Starbucks if it’s ok with the parents. I will discuss walking locations with the owners first to make sure the dog/s are in a comfortable setting and actually enjoying themselves.

Pet care experience
I’ve been caring for domestic and exotic animals for the past ten years. I’m extremely confident in watching after and caring for your fur babies. My work schedule has changed just recently which has allowed more time with you and your “kiddos!” . I am a morning person, so I enjoy taking the dog(s) for a walk first thing before heading off to work. Sets us both up for success :). I’m also available for drop ins, evening walks, and overnight stays as well. I typically stay in my clients home, but have recently gotten an apartment of my own that will serve as a second option for the client. I am a big believer in staying in good contact with the pet owners while they are away. Sending pictures and checking in daily. I know it can be tough being away from your babies.
Reviews
Gabby did an outstanding job staying with our dog Gryffin. She took great care of him and kept him entertained and watched the house very responsibly. We are lucky to have her has a reliable sitter.
We are so happy we found Gabrielle. First off she is great with communicating, always letting us know what time she arrives and leaves, which dogs ate, drank, did their business etc. Maybe it’s her background and experience but she has a very watchful eye. She always lets us know if she sees any unusual behavior from our dogs that might require additional attention. Whenever we return home we can tell our boys have been taken very good care of. It is like a member of our family has been watching them. I would highly recommend Gabrielle to anyone looking for a pet caregiver.
Gabrielle has been nothing short of outstanding when it comes to taking care of Apollo and the house. He loves when she is over to take him for walks and stay with him when I'm out of town. The house is always left spotless (probably cleaner than when I left) and I never have to worry about Apollo getting enough attention when she's there. Knowing she's a Zookeeper and has been working with Animals for years certainly gives me peace of mind...highly recommend!
Gabrielle has watched our big German Shepard multiple times. I could not be happier with her. She is great with our big old fur baby. She wakes up early just to take him on a morning walks. I never have to worry about Jack (our dogs name) when she is watching him. Jack was a rescue and is timid around most people, especially new people. He constantly barks when people are over, but with Gabby its different. He loves her and gets excited every time she watched him. She has watched him from a period of 1 day to 7 days in a row. I highly recommend Gabrielle.
