About Gabrielle

I've been a pet industry professional for many years. I specialise in fish, cat, and small animal care, but am also capable and confident with all manner and size of dogs, and birds. I'm experienced assisting dog groomers and great at handling.

My friends and family describe me as gifted with animals and extremely caring. I own 2 cats, 2 rabbits, and tropical aquariums (rather, they own me). I have always been strongly connected with animals and their wellbeing is my first priority.

I have an NZQA Certificate in fish care and am very knowledgeable about a variety of freshwater fish and aquariums. Ask about my fish care offerings.

I am very experienced with rabbits, rats, guinea pigs, birds, and even turtles and reptiles. I have an interest in all exotic and unusual pets, as well as of course cats and dogs. I have assisted vet nurses and vet clinics with medication administration and am highly experienced with cage cleans.

I am a practitioner of the Jackson Galaxy way when it comes to cat care and behavior. I have also fostered rescue kittens in the past, and been a part of remedial action for some of the most serious medical situations with cats and kittens.

I have experience assisting dog groomers, especially with dogs which are difficult to handle and require extra care. I am also knowledgeable about dog training and nutrition.

I have my own 4wd vehicle with a full clean NZ drivers license. I live in a pet friendly rental in Goldfield Heights. I also have a fully self contained caravan where I can securely and comfortably house animals. When I keep animals in my caravan I stay with them and supervise and keep things warm (or cool, depending).

I grew up in Queenstown and my family still lives here. I am very familiar with all of the areas.

Doggy Day Care
Laura, 2023-09-24

Gabrielle was super lovely with our puppies and they were very chilled when we went to pick them up. I am sure they had a great day with her. I would 100% use her services again :)

Gabrielle was amazing with my 7mo puppy! She looked after him for the whole day, while me and a friend went to Milford Sounds. He can be an overzealous pup at times, but she handled him so well, and he came back very happy. Thank you Gabrielle!
