Safety, trust & environment

I take the time to learn each pet’s unique routine, needs, and personality. I strive for you and your pet to feel at ease while you’re away. I like to prepare for visits by learning what’s important to you and your pet, what you need from me, and what your pet might need in your absence. I care about cleanliness and do my best to ensure that your space is tidy for your return.

Gabby is the best. When we came home they were already so happy it was awesome. I can’t wait to book her again.

Gabby has taking care of my very grumpy cat on multiple occasions and has somehow won over the heart of this funny creature! When I come home from travelling, my cat is often happier than when I left thanks to Gabby’s thoughtful care and attention. Gabby sends lots of updates and photos while I’m away, and always leaves my home clean and pet hair free!

Gabby did a great job taking care of my cat! They sent picture updates, communicated well, and were responsive to my cat's needs. Highly recommend Gabby.

Gabby did a great job watching my cat, Potato! They sent regular updates with pictures about how Potato was doing. They kept Potato's litter box clean and her water full. Gabby has a calm presence that animals seem to appreciate. They were able to connect with Potato (a notoriously aloof/standoffish creature) with their patience and perceptiveness of Potato's mannerisms. But the end of the visit, Potato was rubbing up against Gabby's leg. Thanks, Gabby, for caring for Potato!

Gabby is a wonderful and attentive caregiver! They have dropped in for many visits with my dog and stayed with him at my house while I was away for a long weekend. Gabby took my dog on his favorite adventures every day, sending lots of photos and updates, and they left my house in a better state than they found it. I would recommend their care for any pet!

Schedule

My schedule is currently very flexible. I’m available to offer thoughtful, individualized pet and house sitting. I genuinely enjoy keeping cats company, walking dogs, watering plants, or just making sure everything feels cared for while you’re away. I’m open to daytime and overnight visits.

Please let me know anything important about your pet ahead of time, including their routine, energy level, feeding schedule, and any special needs. I appreciate knowing about medical needs, medications, anxiety triggers, or behaviors such as leash reactivity or separation anxiety. I'm comfortable working with a wide range of breeds and personalities. I'm sensitive to sound, so I'm best suited for dogs who don't bark frequently or very loudly.
