Ratings and reviews
Always goes above and beyond and is the sweetest person!
Fantastic pet sitter. Gabrielle was patient and very sweet with our fur babies. Kept us super informed and I know the babies loved her visits. Highly recommend.
Absolutely amazing! Couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch my dog!
Gabrielle provided such personal attention for our two cats they were pampered on her visits. We appreciated the pictures and short videos she took of our girls. We would not hesitate to use her again
Gabrielle is the first person who I have felt comfortable taking care of my Golden Retriever when we go out of town. She is very sweet and playful with our Golden Retriever and her activity with him is excellent. In addition, her communication is comforting to pet parents. Highly recommend!
Gabrielle did a great job with my codependent rescue dog.

Schedule
My daily and weekly routine revolves around the needs and schedules of your animal companions. Each day, I prioritize visits to ensure that your companions receive their required feeding, exercise and attention. Mornings often start with early visits to check on pets, feed them and engage in morning activities such as walks or playtime. Throughout the day, I schedule additional visits to maintain their routine, provide companionship and attend to their specific needs. In addition, I am in continuous communication with pet owners, updating them on their pet's activities, health and behavior. I ensure that medication schedules, if any, are adhered to diligently and that any special instructions are followed precisely. I often plan outings or longer play sessions to provide extra stimulation and exercise for the pets in my care. This might involve trips to the park, longer walks or engaging activities that cater to their individual preferences and needs. In essence, pet care becomes the cornerstone of my daily and weekly routine, where I prioritize the well-being and happiness of the pets with whom I'm entrusted; ensuring they feel loved, cared for and content while their humans are away from home.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In my care, safety, trust and a nurturing environment are paramount, whether I'm tending to pets in my home or at the client's residence. My approach extends beyond the basics of feeding and potty breaks. I prioritize your companion's well-being by following their lead, engaging in play, cuddles and any activities they enjoy. Building trust through affection is fundamental to me; it enhances behavior, fosters better relationships and hones listening skills. I deeply connect with animals on a heart-to-heart level. Through emotional and energetic connections, I aim to provide a profound sense of safety and security, ensuring your companion feels emotionally supported, loved and cared for at all times.
Pets
A typical day
I promise to tailor each pet's experience to suit their unique personality and needs. During my care, I prioritize engaging activities that ensure the pets have a joyful and fulfilling time. For dogs who thrive on activity, we'll enjoy adventures, such as invigorating walks or hikes in pet-friendly areas that include outdoor enrichment. Playing games with them keep their tails wagging and spirits high. Cats will enjoy interactive play that tap into their natural instincts. I engage them with feather wands, laser pointers or enticing puzzle toys to stimulate their curiosity and keep them entertained. Mental stimulation is crucial for animal companions of all kinds. I incorporate enriching activities like treat puzzles, hide-and-seek games or basic obedience training sessions to keep their minds sharp and engaged. For those animals who prefer a more laid-back approach, cuddle sessions, gentle grooming or quiet moments filled with soothing music provide a sense of comfort and relaxation. Throughout our time together, I ensure plenty of one-on-one attention, love and positive reinforcement to create a comfortable and enjoyable experience for the sweet animal companions in my care. Their happiness and well-being are always my top priority!
