Experienced and caring pet sitter

Pet care experience

I have 8 years of professional pet care experience but a lifetime of experience caring for my own. My professional experience has included pet walking, sitting, grooming, and volunteering at an animal rescue. Currently, my home has four beautiful pups and two outstanding cats, all different breeds with different needs ranging from 3 months to 13 years old. Having my own pets, I know how stressful and uncomfortable it can be to leave them with a new person. It is my goal to create a space where you and your pet feel at home with me through my patience, kindness, and understanding. I am comfortable and familiar with a wide variety of breeds along with their specific needs including exercising/ playing needs, feeding special diets, grooming, giving oral/topical medication, training manners, and basic commands. I also have experience with senior and puppy/kitten care. Rest assured, all instructions you leave me will be followed to the “T”, ensuring that your loved one will be comfortable, happy, and safe while in my care. In addition to my work with dogs and cats, I have experience caring for birds, fish, turtles, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, and chickens. I have a flexible schedule to fit with your loved ones needs and am able to visit throughout the day. Whether it is an in-home visit, walk/jog around the block, play time in the backyard, or adventure time at your local dog park, I am happy to assist. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Being an outdoor enthusiast, I would love to take your pup on a walk around your neighborhood or on the trails as well as a trip to your local dog park if requested. If needed, I am happy to provide any services you may need such as topical/oral medications, feeding of special diets, special puppy/senior care, or other needs as requested. Health and safety is my primary goal. For your comfort, I am FULLY VACCINATED and will always honor your request to wear a mask if entering your home, garage, and closed-in spaces.

Safety, trust & environment

While in your home or out on an adventure, your pets safety and comfort is always my priority. I am Pet CPR and First Aid trained and will always carry a current certification. I also carry my own insurance for your peace of mind. Please feel free to request these documents during our Meet & Greet!

Information Gabrielle S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if any of your pets have special needs whether physical, medical, behavioral or dietary such as an aversion to cars, other animals, young children, crowds, food aggression, needed medication, allergies, stair assist, etc. Also, I would love to know your pets favorite type of toy, game, treat, and place to walk. Knowing all of the above will help me insure that your pet is always as happy and comfortable as they can be!

A typical day

Whether it's visiting a local dog park, walking around the neighborhood, hiking the many trails in our area, or playing in your backyard, we will find the perfect activity for your wonderful pet. Adventure Hikes will take your pup out into nature with unique smells, sights, and experiences! This exercises your dog not only physically but also provides much-needed mental stimulation. During our time together, there can be play time or any training/obedience exercises that you may like as well as address any special needs such as medication. All pets are individuals so I adjust our activities to fit their current lifestyle and needs.
