Gotaway Home and Pet Concierge

Gabriel goes over and beyond taking care of our elderly 2 cats and dog! He is reliable, organized, and very clean. My house looked better when I returned home from vacation than ever before!!! A very kind man and sweet soul. I would highly recommend him to take care of your animals and home.

We were referred to Gabriel by a friend and couldn’t be happier with his services! Our dogs Rupert and Wesley loved him from the very first moment they met. We always love seeing the photos he posts of them happily on walks or jogging through the neighborhood, and can rest assured that they are in good hands whether we’re simply running late from work one day our out of town for a week or more. Gabriel often goes above and beyond, making sure that little things around the house are taken care of while we’re away. His customer service is impeccable, and he’ll always do what he can to accommodate last-​minute requests or sometimes changing schedules. And perhaps most importantly it is clear how much he loves his work and the animals he cares for. We are so grateful we have him to watch over our beloved pups!

Los Angeles has great opportunities for dog care. I’ve been lucky to have some of the best. Here’s what distinguishes Gabriel:
Reliability
Integrity
Flexibility
Communication
I care for my dog. Gabriel does too.

Gabriel has been my go-​to cat sitter for years now, and I’ve referred him to countless friends over the years. He’s one of those people who truly loves animals and finds joy in spending time with our furry friends :) He’s always taken extra special care of my Eddie Cat Halen, and I can’t count the number of times he’s sent me photos of my little buddy when I’m out of town. It’s clear my cat adores him (see snuggly photo posted here as proof!) and when I come home, it’s clear he’s been taken care of. Gabriel is a great communicator, very flexible, and a fantastic person all-​around. I’ve been very fortunate to have him around when I’ve needed him!

Gabriel is the best!
My husband and I were 3,000 miles away from home, on our wedding/​honeymoon trip, when our puppy was hit by a car. We discovered that she would be alright, but required (expensive!) emergency reconstructive surgery. She would need round the clock care for the next few weeks.
Before we had time to process what had happening, Gabriel was busy behind the scenes, piecing our lives back together! (I should note that this was all unsolicited, and completely out of the goodness of his heart.)
He immediately reached out to all of his contacts back East, finding several wonderful candidates willing to to watch Elka in our home, while she recovered. These were all people that he screened, or had personally worked with in the past. We were provided contact numbers for each so that we could also interview them… We felt more than comforted knowing that she would be taken care of, night and day, by someone caring, competent and responsible.
While all of this was going on, he also found the time to set up a GoFundMe page for Elka’s medical bills! He cheered people on to donate, wrote thank you notes to each and every contributor, gave daily updates via social media on Elka’s condition, and just generally saved the day.
He ended up raising around $ 1200 for us, which took a huge chunk out of the total cost! Having just paid for a wedding largely on our own, this was a HUGE relief.
We can’t say enough about how great of a person Gabriel is. His love for animals is obvious, as is his kindness towards their owners. He is a very responsible, personable and caring individual with extremely high integrity. In addition to all of the help he gave us, I have had the pleasure of watching him house and pet sit for many other families– all with similar results.
Thank you Gabriel!

Gabriel was referred to me by a neighbor who has used him for dog/​house sitting several times, so he was not a complete stranger but other than family or a close friend, I never thought I would allow anyone to stay in my home when I am away. After meeting and speaking with him I decided to try it; I could tell right away that he is a very kind and decent person. He has a keen sense and knowledge of dogs and knows how to be in someone’s home. Honestly I could not of have asked for a better situation for my two small dogs, one who is older and needs to stay in her own home. The only issue with him is that there is only one Gabriel so if you plan to go away for any holiday I suggest you book him far in advance!

Gabriel is the BEST! My 115lb German Shepherd Nova absolutely loves him. I always feel confident knowing that Gabriel is looking after him. My work schedule can be kind of crazy and erratic. 95% of the time Gabriel available at a moments notice. He’s kind, genuine and works well with pets and their humans. I trust him 100% with my pup and my home.

Gabriel is 100% reliable and our pets are always well-​taken care of when we’re gone. He’s been very accommodating with our last minute requests and very easy to work with. I highly recommend him for your pet needs.

I searching and searching for a house /​pet sitter. Finally I was referred to Gabriel by a couple of friends who knew him well and trusted him. In a very short time, we’ve come to trust Gabriel with our home and extensive pet duties list. One of our little ones requires constant care and the other behavior management. Gabriel is available on a moments notice and always come through for us. Even long weekend trips and extended leaves. We always come home a home managed the way I like. I would highly recommend Gabriel to anyone seeking a highly trustworthy person who truly enjoys his work and doesn’t have issue with extensive care lists.
