About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals since I was 10, including dogs, cats, parrots, chickens, and horses, and have some dog training experience. I just graduated from college, so I have a relatively free schedule as I transition, and would love to dedicate that time to animal care! I make sure I am very attentive when seeing what the pet needs, and I make sure to accommodate for whatever recommendations my clients would like to see being done. I also have a flexible schedule and can work around whatever is needed for them to remain happy and healthy.
“Emma was so amazing with my girls! I was very hesitant to bring on a new sitter in the middle of a medical shit-show for my oldest dog. Emma showed up at 5:45 AM (That already earns her a 'you're amazing!' in my book) and stayed with my two younger girls so that I could take my oldest one for specialized care at a vet teaching hospital. She didn't mind that I didn't know when I'd get back. She didn't mind that I'm a complete hot mess express. The girls absolutely loved her, and I loved that the first thing she did at our meet and greet was play with them. When my middle girl didn't want to eat while I was gone, she even tried hand-feeding her. Emma is the MVP, and I know I will be using her many times in the future.”
About: I’m usually the first person my family calls when they need someone to care for their cutie pets while they’re away.

“Aubrey is wonderful with Zero my 92 lb German Shepherd! She always arrives on time and did 2 meet and greets before to get to know him. She handles larger dogs with ease and is always aware of surroundings while walking him. Zero does not like many people. Zero warmed up to her in about 10 mins the first time, 2 mins the 2nd time and he was immediately her friend the next. This is unheard of with Zero. I am so thankful she was not intimidated and I could clearly tell the 1st time meeting her she loves dogs. She had the pack leader mentality which u need with Zero and won him over quickly. I will continue to use Aubrey she is trustworthy and dependable. She stayed at the house and treats my house as if her own. Having her watch Zero allows me to be gone without worry. I am so thankful I connected with her on Rover. She takes care of my dog just like her own. She is a top notch dog sitter!!”

“If or when you have a situation when you need to be away from your beloved pets, or if you just need a helping hand with their care, I highly recommend Gabriel Condon.
