About North Hills Pet Care
The Heart Behind the Paws
Our Standard
North Hills Pet Care was founded in 2026 by Gabrielle Lucarini after more than two years of working as a solo professional pet sitter. As her client base grew, Gabrielle wanted to create a way to provide the same personal, attentive care while also giving families the reliability and support of a trusted team.
That idea became North Hills Pet Care, a local team built around thoughtful care, strong communication, and getting to know every pet as an individual.
Our goal is simple. We want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for, and every family to feel confident knowing their pets are in good hands.
We pay attention to the little things, from routines and preferences to medications, quirks, and the details that make each pet unique. North Hills Pet Care is also fully insured and bonded through Pet Care Insurance for an added layer of protection and peace of mind.
We are extremely selective, hiring only dedicated local animal lovers. Every team member is background checked and Pet CPR Certified and carefully matched to assignments based on their specific expertise, ensuring your pet is always with a sitter who is confident in their needs.
We believe in a team-centered approach to care. Your pet will often have a small circle of “primary best friends” who all know their routine by heart. This ensures your pet always receives seamless, high-energy attention from a familiar face, no matter the time of day or season of the year.
Our Values
We believe that clear, honest dialogue is a two-way street. We provide you with detailed updates and photos after every visit, and we rely on you to keep us informed of any changes in your pet’s needs or home instructions. By staying on the same page, we can tackle any issue head-on and ensure your pet’s care is always perfect
We don’t believe in “one size fits all.” We view ourselves as your partners in pet parenting, tailoring every visit to your pet’s unique personality and your specific household routine. This collaborative approach ensures that we aren’t just “pet sitters,” but an extension of your pet’s family.
Your schedule is important, and your pet’s routine is sacred. We built our team-based model specifically to guarantee that we show up exactly when we say we will. Rain or shine, you can rest easy knowing that our “coverage-first” mindset means your pet’s visit is never a question mark.

Owner/Founder
Hi, I’m Gabrielle, the owner and founder of North Hills Pet Care. In 2024, I left my career in corporate accounting to pursue work built around my love for animals.
As an independent pet sitter, my goal was to provide the kind of loving, dependable care I would want for my own pets. I created North Hills Pet Care to grow those services while maintaining a high standard of care through a thoughtful, team-based approach.
