Reviews
Gabrielle is amazing. Last minute schedule change and she accommodated our needs. Molly loves her and her dogs and cat. Molly is exhausted at the end of the day.
I need to start this review with a caveat. I am a helicopter fur baby mom and had never left our six year old miniature schnauzer with anyone other than his grandma before. I say this to say that I was extremely apprehensive about leaving him and had very high expectations for the care he would receive. Gabrielle came out the day before spent time getting to know our sweet Patton and to make sure she understood his routine and level of care expected. She made me feel right at ease. Yesterday she shared her location with me so I could see where they were at all times and sent me pictures and updates throughout the day. I am so grateful for the care she gave to our sweet Patton and his cousin Tula. She truly goes above and beyond. Thank you Gabrielle for being so amazing and easy to work with!❤️
Thanks for loving Teddie so much!
Extremely pleased with how attentive Gabrielle was with our cat. Appreciated the app notifications and photos from the drop in checks. Thank you

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.

Information Gabrielle W. would like to know about your pet
If it's important to you, it's important to me. Understanding your animals beforehand is fundamental for exceptional care. Prior knowledge of their personalities, preferences, routines, dietary needs, medical conditions and unique quirks empowers me to customize my care, ensuring it aligns precisely with their requirements. This proactive approach guarantees a seamless transition, fostering a bond built on trust and personalized attention. Knowing their individual temperaments-whether outgoing or shy, playful or calm-enables tailored activities and interactions that suit their unique traits. This insight ensures a comfortable and enjoyable experience, resonating with each animals's distinct character.
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!

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.
