About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life. I mostly grew up around German Shepards and miniature Dobermans. I have two dogs of my own named Milo and Bear. I adopted Milo when he was a little less than a year from the pound. I got Bear just 6 months later from someone who couldn’t keep him. I love dogs and want to help take care of your pets! I am a stay at home mom and I also work from home. Working from home gives me flexibility to be able to be there for your pets. In my home or your home your pets safety and well being is my top priority. I will treat your pets with the same love l treat mine with. I believe pictures and videos are important to provide to show you how your pet is doing. I also send updates about your pets like what they’ve been up to and if I have concerns I definitely would let you know. I do live in a one bedroom apartment but I have a front yard I can take your dogs out for fresh air and to use the bathroom.

“Gloria J watched my German Shepherd Lab. She was so loving. My dog responded to her quickly so gave me peace of mind. I gave her instructions on feeding, playing and down time for my dog as to not get her off the routine. Gloria did awesome! I highly recommend Gloria J as a pet sitter.”

“Sidney has been so great! Have been working long hours and was worried about my puppy being home for hours in end alone. Sidney came to meet Bunnie before we started regular daily visits, and she stayed and played with Bunnie for an hour almost daily. My neighbors told me they always saw her running around the back yard keeping her active, and she was always super sweet to my baby. She always remembered to put out the activity toys, and would even clean up the rare messes my puppy made even though I told her she didn’t need to. Sidney was super flexible and communicative, sent me lots of photos and videos, and she even took my last minute panicked requests for bookings. I highly recommend trusting your pups to her, she will take great care of them!”

“I had the best first experience using the Rover app all because of Kayla. Her calm demeanor made my dogs and cats trust her almost immediately. She was incredibly thorough through the first initial visit and knew all the right questions to ask if I missed something. I will absolutely be rebooking with her. Incredibly happy that I have a trustworthy babysitter because that’s what she is. An incredible babysitter for my fur babies!”

“Callie was raised with dogs and cats. She learned early on that she was more comfortable often with animals than with people. As an adult the last 8 years she has has both cats and a dog. She learned obedience training and how to train even the largest dog to follow commands for both owner and dog safety. She is a natural caregiver especially with animals and loves to spend time with them. She has experience with dog-sitting, dog-walking, bathing, basic care and pet safety. For the past 3 years, she has house sat and cared for my 3 dogs and 5 cats as well as cared for my plants. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, conscientious caretaker.”

“Grace did an amazing job with our pups! Definitely would recommend and will book her again.”
