About: Hi there! I joined Rover in 2025 but have been caring for animals for 8 years before that. I have a bachelors degree in animal science from Iowa State University as well as a background with dogs, cats, cattle, and other livestock animals. Animals have been a passion of mine since I was a young child which brought me to studying them and raising my own animals in adulthood. I have taken care of animals of all species and sizes. I am familiar with breed behaviors and specifications as well as basic medical care. Animals bring pure joy to my life and I can’t wait to love on your fur babies. I do work full time however I have weekday afternoon and evenings available as well as weekends. I am a morning person but also more than willing in the evenings as well. I want to make your pet comfortable and follow the routine you have set with them. If you follow a crate schedule or have a set walking time, I will be more than willing to make sure that is completed. I want your pet to feel safe and comfortable when I am in their space.
“Gentri did an amazing job with our four Goldendoodles!! She sent pics and constant updates while we were gone. She was consistent, trustworthy, and dependable when it came to feed times and potty breaks. We will definitely be using her again! ❤️?❤️ Leo & Amanda”
“Jayden is amazing with our pups. They’ve stayed with her several times. It had been a while when we took them to her house this past week. When she answered the door, they ran inside, not even turning around to say goodbye! 🥹 (That made us happy.) She will be our first contact when we need a Rover.”
