Hi, there!
I am a professional animal attendant and sitter with a broad range of experience in providing care for many species and pets and ensuring a great experience for all. I honour the opportunity to bring comfort, fun, safety, and care to the pet and the home, and to give peace of mind to the owner/s.
Services:
I am currently offering the following service only:
Pet Sitting: (Where I, the pet sitter, looks after the pet at the pets/owners place overnight).
Examples of duties for this service can include:
Food & water, cleaning, walks, administer medication, play/enrichment/socialisation/affection, bathing & basic grooming, nail clip, and more if required. I discuss expectations and duties, and my care can be tailored and suited to the pet’s specific needs.
I am a respectful, responsible, thoughtful, careful, & trustworthy guest in the home. I am clean, tidy, mature, and quiet. I bring my own food for the stay and I am minimal in usages around the home. I am experienced in short and long-term stays.
There are many benefits to keeping the pet in its safe, comfortable, and familiar home, however I bring vacation-like fun at the same time.
*Inner West area, Sydney CBD, Eastern Suburbs & Northern Beaches is preferred, other areas of Sydney and surrounds (including Blue Mountains) may be considered.*
Important notes:
About me:
I have years of paid and volunteer experience caring for many animals, such as working in many different animal rescue shelters, a dog boarding/daycare/grooming centre, street cat/rescue work, and personal experience with family and friend’s pets and my own. I currently work as an animal attendant in a cat shelter (over 2 years) with a highly respected and well-known animal rescue organisation. I have pet sitting services experience with another platform similar to Pawshake.
I hold a Certificate II in Animal Studies (ACM20117), completed in 2018 from TAFE NSW, studying 12 units. I am fully vaccinated.
I have interpersonal skills such as written and verbal communication, honesty, ethics, compassion/sympathy/empathy, reliability, and organisation. I am skilled in animal handling, cleaning, feeding, exercise and enrichment, animal medicine, hygiene, safety, and animal health and welfare. I continue to keep up to date with pet info/training.
I appreciate any consideration to care for your pet.

Gabriella was the perfect special person to look after our cat Ollie and dog Maggie. She was conscientious about all aspects of looking after our pets as well as our home. I felt extremely comfortable with Gabriella staying in our home and returned to very happy pets and a tidy house. Thank you so much again Gabriella.
Gabriella was amazing! She looked after our big dog and two cats at our house while we were away for three days. She sent regular updates to us and showered us with gifts when we got back! It was obvious from the start she loves animals and the animals loved her back immediately. We never worried for a second leaving our house in her hands. We want to go on holiday again just so we can use her again!
