Highlights
Pet care experience
Compassionate & Trusted Future Vet
Hi! I’m Gabby — a pre-veterinary Animal & Poultry Sciences student with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages and needs. Animals are my whole life, and I treat every pet like my own. What sets me apart: • Shadowed veterinarians, gaining safe handling and health-monitoring skills • Experienced Golden Retriever breeder (whelping, neonatal care, tube feeding, CPR) • 3+ years of professional pet sitting with strong references • Puppy specialist — raising and training puppies is part of my daily life • Extensive senior & special-needs experience — I’ve cared for my own senior and special-needs pets, so I understand mobility support, slow routines, medication schedules, cognitive changes, anxiety, and gentle handling • Volunteer at my local animal society • Animal science & pre-vet coursework (behavior, nutrition, health, genetics) • Dog owner, so I value structure, safety, and emotional support I’m confident with dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments — from energetic puppies to older pets who need extra patience and care. You’ll get reliable communication, detailed updates, and truly personalized attention. Your pet will be safe, loved, and treated with the same compassion I give my own. Excited to meet your pet! 💛🐾

Ratings and reviews
We love Ms. Gabby! We know when we go on vacation we are leaving our fur babies with someone who will treat them with so much love. Ms. Gabby is great at communicating and being punctual. We would highly recommend Ms. Gabby and know your fur babies are in the best care possible.
Gabrielle is an amazing pet sitter. She provided regular (unsolicited) updates along with pictures when she watched my sweet pup which made being away from my girl a lot easier. She took her in as if she was her own dog and loved her so much. It was even more comforting when I realized she was studying to be a vet. No wonder my dog loves her! Highly recommend!!
Gabby did a great job with our dog while we were on vacation! Sent us pictures and updates during the week. She is a total pet lover! Highly recommend!
My daughter has a true love for animals and a natural ability to care for them. We have dogs and fish of our own, and I’ve watched her take excellent, reliable care of them every day. She has also welped and cared for new litters of golden retriever puppies and their mom, showing patience, gentleness, and great attention to detail. I’ve been with her on several dog walks and pet-sitting assignments, and she is always responsible and attentive. She treats every pet like family, and any animal in her care will be safe, loved, and well looked after.
Gabby watched our husky, Iris, while we were out of town. In the past, Iris didn't eat much while we were away, but Gabby sat on the floor next to her bowls and fed her out of her hand. This took a lot of time and effort, but she didn't mind - she just wanted Iris to be comfortable. I was so grateful and impressed. She also sent me pictures and videos often, which I loved. Highly recommend!
Gabby was amazing with my dog, super attentive, always responsive when I texted, and clearly so knowledgeable thanks to her experience with breeders and her vet training. She was loving, patient, and totally on top of things, even when my dog had some stomach issues. He had the best time playing and swimming, and honestly, he just loved being with Gabby.
Calendar and availability
Schedule
⭐ My Daily Routine Pets fit naturally into my day. I start with morning feeding, meds (if needed), and a potty break or litter refresh. I only have one class a day, so I’m home most of the time to give walks, playtime, enrichment, and supervision. Throughout the afternoon and evening, I’m with the pets—doing walks, cuddles, behavior reinforcement, and keeping their space clean and comfortable. At night, I do final potty breaks/litter care, give any meds, and settle pets into a calm routine. Your pet is with me nearly all day, getting consistent care, attention, and love.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In Your Home: I follow your routines exactly—feeding, walks, meds, and crate or free-roam preferences. I keep doors locked, maintain a clean environment, and make sure pets always have fresh water, a safe space to relax, and enrichment throughout the day. I send regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is safe. In My Home: Pets have a clean, pet-proofed space with supervised indoor time, enrichment, cuddles, and frequent potty breaks. I use slow introductions, low-stress handling, and separate areas if needed for shy or senior pets. I monitor behavior and health closely and maintain a calm, positive environment. I treat every pet with the same care, structure, and attention I give my own animals. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and trust always come first.
Pets
A typical day
A typical day with me is structured, active, and centered around each pet’s routine. I start by checking in on feeding schedules, refreshing water, and doing a quick wellness look-over (appetite, energy, bathroom habits). Throughout the day, I rotate in walks, play sessions, enrichment activities, and calm downtime depending on what your pet enjoys. I make sure their environment stays clean and comfortable, keep up with meds if needed, and send regular updates with photos and messages so you always know how they’re doing. Your pet gets consistent care, attention, and affection—never rushed and always individualized. ⸻ Fun Activities I’ll Do With the Pets I Watch I love keeping pets mentally and physically engaged! Depending on the pet’s age, temperament, and physical ability, activities may include: 🐾 Outdoor Walks & Sniffaris — letting dogs explore scents to reduce stress and build confidence. 🎾 Fetch, Tug, & Play Sessions — perfect for energetic dogs who love interactive games. 🧩 Enrichment Games — puzzle toys, frozen Kongs, treat-finding games, and scent work. 🧸 Gentle Play & Cuddle Time — for seniors, shy pets, or special-needs animals who thrive with calm bonding. 🐈 Cat-Focused Enrichment — wand toys, laser play, clicker-training basics, and safe climbing/obstacle play for confident cats. 🌞 Outside Time — supervised yard time for sunbathing, playing, or gentle exercise. 📸 Photo Updates — cute, themed pictures to brighten your day while you’re away. I always tailor activities to each pet—whether they’re high-energy, slow-paced, playful, anxious, or medically fragile.
