Availability

I am currently seeking part-time work, which gives me plenty of time to invest in your pet's care and happiness! On weekdays I'm typically available from 8 AM to 6 PM. Weekend hours may vary, but I'm generally open from 9 AM to 7 PM. I like to work on a case-by-case basis and am very flexible, communication is key, and I'll always do my best to accommodate your needs.

Safety, trust & environment

I have taken care of dogs of each and every size, shy and outgoing, and young and old. I will cater to each individual pets needs. This also means I have experience walking all kinds of dogs! Dogs that need closer and tighter attention vs. off the leash walking. I will meet the animal's level wherever you are comfortable with.

Information Gabriella R. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know if your animal has any special needs or accommodations I need to be aware of before booking. I want to be sure I am able to take care of them to the highest of my ability. I have experience with all shapes and sizes, as long as I know what to expect, I'll be just fine.

A typical day

I love to stimulate dogs both mentally and physically. Fetch, frisbee, and running are household favorites of mine. I am no stranger to zoomies and have no problem playing tug of war to get energy out. I also love working on basic commands (with treats involved, of course) to stimulate the animals brain. Along with the occasional rest time that is needed for every animal and human alike, I love it all.

Cat care experience

I grew up taking care of all of my neighbors cats. Throughout my college journey, I actually took in several cats to foster and clean and care for. I'm well aquatinted with cat poop, cat attitudes, and cat scratches. All is welcome.

Gabriella was great! She worked really hard to make sure our cat was comfortable. Always on time and very communicative. She sent lots of pictures and let us know how our cat was doing. Will definitely book her again!

Hello I am writing to give a reference for Gabriella Root. I have know "Ella" since she was 9 years old. She and her family have been our neighbors for the past 13 years. I would like to say that I would trust no other then Ella to watch my dogs. She has taken care of them for about 13 years, walking them, letting them out and taking care of them when we travel at weeks at a time. She is great with giving medications and our special feeding routines. My dogs love her so much that when she comes home, they love seeing her. Ella is one special girl who loves animals and is highly qualified to do pet sitting for people who need in home services, walking dogs, or just checking in on them.

Ella provided my cat with the utmost care and love! She is incredibly communicative and thoughtful, and made sure to send me updates while I was out of town, which really eased my mind to know my pet was in such good hands. I highly recommend Ella to anyone needing a pet sitter!
