Pet Sitting Gaskill

“Shelly is the best. Really puts us at ease. We have a complicated situation with kitties that don’t get along who need to remain separated and receive medications. She is so thorough and communicative and as she says “treat them like they’re my own babies!” We really appreciate you Shelley! Love Clara, Wilson, Suz and Nina”

About: I have been surrounded by animals my entire life, beginning with my childhood growing up on a farm. That early, hands-on exposure taught me the fundamentals of animal care, daily routines, and how to read animal behavior. This transitioned into professional work as a dog trainer at Happy Hound play and daycare in Oakland where I trained and cared for dogs both at the center and on park walks and in home visits. I am able to confidently handle pets of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels from puppies needing structure and basic obedience to older dogs requiring a gentle, patient approach. I have a background in housing and caring for animals. I currently share my home with my own pet, Baloo and my housemates pet Bentley my living space is always dog-friendly. I know exactly what it takes to create a safe, enriching, and comforting environment for visiting animals. I can give owners peace of mind while they are away! I am currently working part-time and have lots of flexibility to work around schedules and to setup routines! I also have transportation to travel. I have a fully fenced in yard with two fur babies to keep your doggos safe and entertained! They can lounge outside in the sun or inside.

“If I could give Christine 25 stars, I would. Working with her was an absolute dream. The day I was set to leave for an international trip, one of my cats got sick and my booked cat sitter bailed, as they were uncomfortable giving medication. With just a few hours left before my departure, I hopped on Rover to try to find someone to help. Christine messaged me back right away, came for a meet and greet that same evening, and jumped right in. She visited my cats twice a day, gave my sick older cat her meds, kept me constantly updated with photos and little anecdotes and went over and above to help out with some other unexpected things that came up. Having someone so engaged and communicative gave me peace of mind that my cats were being well cared for as I was traveling. I'm enormously grateful for Christine's help, and I highly recommend working with her!”
