Top rated Gates house sitters

“Christine came through for us in a short time frame. It was her first time sitting for Theo and Griffin and she handled a crazy puppy and senior dog well. Would recommend!”


“Anna was amazing. She did a great job with the dogs and they really enjoyed her company. If I have to use this app again I will definitely pick Anna.”


“Robert did great with our dog Finn, he always made sure we had plenty of pictures and updates throughout our trip, and answered any questions we had as well. He responded quickly and efficiently during our interview process, Finn was so relaxed during their meeting, and he even provided his own care questionnaire to make sure no details would be missed during his stay. I felt very comfortable entrusting him with our baby and our home. We even had the opportunity to meet his wife Taylor during the interview process and she was equally as great and we were more then comfortable with the both of them being in the home and watching our pet if/when scheduling required it. I absolutely would hire him again!”


“Robin is amazing! She looked after my pups at my place for 4 days and sent me plenty of pictures and good communication. You could tell she loved my pups and they definitely loved her. Will definitely use her again!”


“Cassandra was absolutely amazing with our cat and high energy dog who was recovering from knee surgery. She went above and beyond to make sure the animals and house were taken care of. I can't recommend her highly enough!”


“Zaine has always had a love for animals. Everyone literally calls her the animal whisperer. I don’t think she’s ever met a pet that didn’t like her. She’s definitely the one to trust to take care of your fur babies!”

“Thank you for taking great care of Magna again :) So awesome to return to a happy and relaxed dog. No anxiety or stress, which would be evident if she didn't have daily needs of mental engagement and physical met. Or would happen with being boarded. Also appreciate how respectful and courteous of home and property Maria is, thank you!”


“I completely trust Carrie to care for my dog. If Carrie is looking after my dog while I am away, I don’t have to worry because I know she will not only be kept safe, but have so much fun! You cannot ask for any better than someone who takes care of your pets like their own.”

About: From a young age, I had been intertwined with the joy and responsibility of caring for dogs. Growing up in my neighborhood, which began with me walking my own dog as a child. The simple act of taking a stroll down the street transformed into a cherished routine,where each wagging tail and playful bark brought a smile to my face. Over the years, my love for dogs blossomed, and it wasn't long before neighbors began to notice my enthusiasm. They often turned to me, trusting me to watch over their pets with the same care and affection I showed my own. Whether it was a quick walk around the block or a playful romp in the park, my dedication to ensuring every dog felt loved and well-cared-for became a defining aspect of my life. This bond with dogs has not only enriched my childhood but has also shaped my character, instilling in me a sense of responsibility and kindness that I carry with me to this day. I would love to mention I am taking dog training classes I have personal trained my owns dogs and as well closest friends puppies and had taken veterinarian assistant classes as well I am personally full-time job but morning shift 6:30-2 but I have plenty of time after work and over night to play and hang out I will make sure the guaranteed the safety/care of your fur-baby cause I understand it can be stressful and scary to leave four legged babies behind I will make the give the same love as my own always making sure they have the best time of their life with long walk to movie time while your out of town with of course update pictures of them having the best time

“The dogs were comfortable with her however we wish the communication was better when obligations couldn't be fulfilled due to car trouble. So that we could have made other arrangements sooner so the dogs could have stayed on their normal schedule.”



“Angie was great! She came over to walk our dog a couple times to build trust with her, and she sent us lots of pictures and updates! We knew our puppies were in good hands with her!”


“The best experience I have had with a dog sitter. Harrison went above and beyond our expectations and did so much for our pup. Sent us updates every day with pictures and videos of the dogs playing at the dog park, going to the beach, and more, all which he asked for permission to take our dog to of course! I think my dog was probably a bit disappointed to leave him as I honestly think he might have had a better vacation than us! I will 100% never use another sitter to watch my pup ever again as I don’t think it could get any better than Harrison.”


“Good morning, I highly recommend Crystal as she is so loving person to our pets a great pet lover. She takes care of your pet as she does her own. She has taken care of our Shih Tzu & Chihuahua several times for extended periods of time. She loves on them, carries them and feeds them. Would not hesitate to call on her anytime. I highly recommend Crystal for this job.”

“Julia is amazing!! She spent a week at my apartment with my 9 year old dog Rory and it went really well! Julia sent daily pictures/videos and kept me updated on how things were going. I came home to a clean apartment and a very happy dog! She even kept my plant alive. If you’re looking for a pet sitter I strongly recommend Julia =)”



About: I grew up with lots of animals and have plenty of experience. I have experience with senior animals. I have some experience in dog training as I trained my Labrador Retriever as a puppy in doggie obedience school. My Lab is now currently a senior doggie.

My husband also has experience working with a vet some years ago, as well as experience in dog breeding. I homeschool a preteen and teenager. I'll be able to look after your pet so he or she will not have to stay crated all alone at home. Can provide frequent potty breaks for your pets. Our dogs stay on heartworm, flea, and tick prevention. We do have some caged pets but they will be in a separate part of the house during boarding 🙂

About: I have had & been around pets all my life. Animals always sense I am an animal lover, from dogs to cats to horses. I love to play and pet them, talk to them, snuggle with them, and reward them with treats. My goal is always to make them happy when they see me. I love to see their excitement. I know there is nothing better for you than having peace of mind knowing they are well taken care of. Whether walking, playing, or sitting, I’ll tailor it to your pet’s needs! I will feed, water, exercise, brush, administer meds, vitamins, or other special care as needed & give them loads and loads of love, belly rubs, and head scratches, to keep them happy! I will play with them as much as they want to be played with. I will look after your home, bring in your mail, adjusting the blinds, curtains, and lights. You can leave home worry-free knowing everything is in good hands with your reliable, honest, trustworthy sitter. Therefore, I would love to help care for your pets and give them lots of love!

About: I have been around animals and had my own dogs ever since I was born. I love animals and I would treat each and everyone as if it were my own 2 fur babies. As a teenager I used to work with a Persian cat breeder feeding and cleaning cats. I have a job that gives flexibility and different hours and days off all throughout the week and most weekends I am off. I love spending time with my dogs who are both starting in their senior years so I feel like having other dogs around will help them remember their youthful days. I have a fenced in yard, 2 dogs that are friendly at home a gated area in the house for pets. I can support most people’s needs or wants for their pets

“Sadie took great care of my pups! Hopefully we can book her again in the near future!”


About: I have 3 dogs of my own, varied ages, and even a pig! But I have been around animals as long as I can remember. My partner won’t let me get any more animals, so I would love to care for all of yours instead! I am a teacher and looking for summer, and break, work. I am practically available all day! I would be a fool to not do something that I love to occupy my days. I have a very energetic 1 year old, fully vaccinated, puppy that would love to run around with your fur babies. She has a bigger brother and sister, so size is not a problem for her. I also have 2 cats of my own so have experience with both.

“I have known Amber for a few months now, and she has demonstrated to me that she is dedicated to animal welfare. She is consciences of animals in her care and exercises good judgment calls. Amber knows her knowledge limitations and when to call a Veterinarian. I would entrust her with the care and well-being of my animals”
