Dog Mom-will ❤️ your 🐶 like my own

I love dogs! I’m a proud momma to a Chihuahua mix and a Yorkie angel who now resides in heaven. I took care of my Juanita until the last moment. She almost lived 17 years so I have experience taking care of a senior dog. To me looking after a pet is a serious business, so rest assured that I'll treat your baby just as it was one my own!

Gaby took wonderful care of Nala while we were away. She kept us updated every day with messages, pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that Nala received a lot of attention, affection, and excellent care throughout her stay. Gaby was very attentive to Nala’s needs and kept us informed about everything, from her daily routine to even small changes in her stools and behavior. We especially appreciated how caring and patient she was during a thunderstorm, helping Nala feel safe and comforted. The photos and updates showed a happy, relaxed dog making herself right at home. We are so grateful for the love and care Gaby and her husband gave Nala and would happily trust her again in the future. Highly recommended! 🩷🐶🐾

The stay was great, Gaby welcomed and comforted my pet, despite a difficult situation of having to give medication, for an unplanned health condition. She had a hard job trying to “train” Milo, and I have noticed small improvements! I liked the fact that she had only one small dog, that helped ease the overall “tension” of the stay! Milo enjoyed his visit, and would probably be happy to visit again! The pre-visit meeting was helpful to ease my anxiety of the two week visit! I would definitely book with her again, if needed! I also liked the fact that she lived in my general area! 🌺♥️

I know this is my third review with Gaby, but this was Kimchi’s longest stay away and deserves another review. Gaby and her husband treat Kimchi like family and I am always appreciative of this!

Gaby and her husband continue to be amazing since Kimchi’s last stay. They were very accommodating of Kimchi’s new medication regimen. As before, from the photos/videos provided during Kimchi’s stay, I can see he is very comfortable there. He will only sleep on his back with limbs in the air when he feels safe. I also see how much he loves their their yard as his face lights up. Having photos/videos like these definitely puts a pawrent at ease when away.

Very friendly sitter in a nice setting for pets. Sent great pics of our dog and he was clearly enjoying his stay with Gaby. Will definitely use her services again.

Gaby expertly managed my 3 chihuahua mixes. Upon first meeting, one dog stole her husband's breakfast - he was an excellent sport and we had a good laugh. They have a great house, yard, and layout for small dogs such that we feel very safe. In fact, we are returning next week for a 7 day stay - we thank Gaby and her husband for their excellent care and promptness in answering us, as well as photos/videos of the dogs playing with their chi, so we could rest easily.
