About North Hills Pet Care
The Heart Behind the Paws
Our Standard
Founded in 2026 by Gabrielle Lucarini. After 2+ years as a solo professional sitter, Gabrielle realized that a team-based approach was the only way to provide a truly high standard of care. By prioritizing work-life balance for our sitters, we ensure they arrive at your door rested, happy, and ready to give your pet their full attention.
We believe every pet deserves personalized attention and every owner deserves total peace of mind. To us, no detail is too small. We are fully insured and bonded through Pet Care Insurance to give you that extra layer of security.
We are extremely selective, hiring only dedicated local animal lovers. Every team member is 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.
Our Team
Our Sitter Standard – We don’t just hire pet lovers; we hire professionals. Every team member is background-checked, Pet CPR Certified, and hand-selected for their unique expertise. We take pride in our “picky” hiring process to ensure your pet is matched with a sitter who truly understands their needs.

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.
