I love dogs. <3 They love me. <3
Pet care experience
I have grown up with dogs, I have many years of experience with training them, and I have been doing agility training with my own dog. I am eager to spend time with your fur baby if I am able, and your pup will receive the best care while in my hands. I also strive to make a personal relationship and connection with my repeat clients. I do this job for fun, and to meet cool dogs and people; also my dog being entertained doesn’t hurt ;). I’m near the Quatama max station. I have experience with special needs dogs (deaf/blind/both), senior dogs, puppies, and some aggressive behavior is acceptable. I can also give you pointers on behavioral problems and how you can adjust them yourself if requested. I love dogs, and they love me. They respond really well to my energy, and I am able to command most dogs with body language alone. I enjoy spending time with dogs most of all, and I’d love to hang out with yours! <3 More about me: I’m a bread baker at New Seasons Market, so during my work week I am available for contact/drop offs/pick ups usually between 12pm-7pm; I work a very early morning shift starting at 4am, so I go to bed early. I have extensive experience with all ages of dogs, I have delivered puppies many times, and even revived a few after coming out backwards with their bags broken; not breathing or moving. I have performed CPR and have gone as far as pulling a blockage from a few dogs throats to prevent suffocation. I however have not received formal training on this. I have received formal nursing and pharmacy technician training, so I can give your dog his/her oral, eye, and ear medication, and you can rest assure your dog is not in the care of an idiot. ;) I’m very much a dog person, but I get along with all animals, and I have experience taking care of a large range of pets; including cats, rabbits, ferrets, hamsters, fish, snakes, rats, and chickens. I grew up in the country outside of Astoria, in a small “village” called “Kissville”; a community of neighbors where everyone knew everyone, and we all took care of each other and our families. Because of this, I have grown to be a very trusting person to a fault, and I often take things upon myself to make sure your fur babies are like my own.
Reviews
Gabi is terrific with Lizzy! Am so glad I found her and requested her availability over Rover.
Gabrielle is amazing! I would recommend to anyone looking for a responsible and caring dog sitter.
Absolutely wonderful! My dog had a wonderful time with Gabrielle and her dog, and lots of fun, walks, playtime and most importantly, love. My dog can be skittish, but he liked Gabrielle right away, and when I picked him up, it was clear that he loved and trusted her. I hope to have her take care of my dog every time I need a sitter in the future.
Gabrielle is amazing! She is extremely flexible and cares immensely about my pups. She is very good at communicating and is passionate about making sure my pups have what they need. She has been a total lifesaver!

Information Gabrielle W. would like to know about your pet
When watching your dog at your home: I Would like to know if your dog is a puller on leash as this will be extra depending on size of your dog(and severity), as I am a small woman. Keep in mind I have experience walking ##110 pound Rottweilers.. or if your dog is not good with other dogs or people. I would like to know if you have other people living in the house. In my home: My boy is very tolerable of others, who also give him respect. He does not tolerate dogs that do not show respect for his space when he sets boundaries. He will respect your dog as long as your dog respects him. He loves to play but will respect your pups space if they need it. I do not have breed preferences, I’ve had experience with all sizes and breeds of dogs and am aware of their “known” funny habits that come with a breed. Please let me know if your dog is not potty trained; When in my home they will be watched closely and I will continue with their potty training with treats and praise. There will be an additional $10 charge added, if daycare lasts longer than 13 hours, or if pickup is after 10pm.
A typical day
I’m a big fan of playing fetch/frisbee/tug o-war, and bike rides (my dog is trained to run beside me). We will go on walks around your neighborhood. When at my home your dog can enjoy open access to my backyard/deck while I’m downstairs supervising, as long as your dog isn’t an escape artist. Please let me know if your dog might try to escape.
