Specialized Cat Care
Hello! I’m a proud cat mom and dedicated cat sitter living in the Fishtown neighbourhood of Philadelphia. I have a passion for providing exceptional care for all cats, especially those with special needs. With over a decade of experience, I’ve had the privilege of caring for cats facing various health challenges, including FIV, kidney disease, diabetes, pancreatitis, high blood pressure, and asthma. I am proficient in administering medications, including oral, topical, and injectable treatments, as well as monitoring health issues and managing unique dietary requirements. I believe that every cat deserves love and attention, and I take pride in offering services that provide peace of mind to cat parents. Whether your cat requires specialized medical attention or just a gentle touch, I am here to help.

Safety, trust & environment
Safety is my top priority. I adhere strictly to your cat’s routines and care instructions, maintaining a safe and comfortable environment and being vigilant for any signs of discomfort or changes in behaviour. I acknowledge the great trust you put in me in allowing me to care for your cat. I treat all cats as I do my own, with attentive loving care.
Ratings and reviews
My two kitties were very happy when we got back from vacation. I loved all the updates and photos I received of them as well. Gabrielle took great care of them and will book with her again.
I was feeling extremely nervous and guilty leaving my cats for two weeks to go on vacation. My one cat, Scout, is very shy and has special medical needs. She needs weekly B12 injections, has a slight wobble from chronic inner ear infections, and a probable GI cancer/IBD diagnosis which causes her to have frequent accidents outside the litter box. I was so happy to see Gabrielle’s profile include a soft spot for medical kitties! Caring for a cat with special needs is a large ask, and initially I felt embarrassed to have to ask a sitter to do the extra work. Gabrielle met me with such compassion, patience, and understanding, and was even able to relate to my situation. In addition to giving all medications and cleaning up accidents, Gabrielle gave my cats all of the love and attention that they deserved and was even able to befriend my shy kitty in the end! At the end of each visit, I was provided with detailed notes and plenty of pictures! I was so comfortable to enjoy my trip knowing that my cats were well cared for the entire time I was gone. Could not recommend Gabrielle enough!
Gabrielle is always punctual, very communicative, and takes care of everything my diabetic cat needs while I'm away. Thanks so much for the peace of mind!
Gabrielle is very thorough in their updates and letting us know how my cats are doing. Would highly recommend!
Took excellent care of my girl Uni! Super reliable, and my cat was in excellent hands. Highly recommended. Thank you!
Gabrielle is always punctual, very communicative, and takes the time to take care of everything my diabetic cat needs each day, including giving him his medicine. Such a relief to know my little guy is in good hands while I'm away. Thank you so much Gabrielle!!!
