House Sitting Gert Town

About: I've never known life without animals! I've been responsible for pets from a very young age: from gerbils, to cats and dogs, to squirrels and goats, my circle of friends and family have always committed open homes and hearts to furry friends. Every stage of life, every shade of personality, I resolve to provide love, care and accountability. My personal dedication is boosted to professional assurance, as I am a long term caretaker at Mid City Animal House Daycare and Boarding. My part time work schedule is flexible, and I'm almost always in pet care mode since it's what I do! I am available for most services, from dog walking to house sitting, and if your pets would be good roomies with my pets, I am open to boarding on a case-by-case basis! I am comfortable caring for multiple animals at once, and following owners instructions with a keen eye. I am comfortable administering medications, special care instructions (i.e: elderly or special needs animals) and giving walks and baths. I am generally comfortable in unfamiliar places, maintaining a calm energy, respecting property and taking great care to give pets the attention they need in the absence of their owners. If you are interested in boarding with me: I currently provide a loving home to 2 cats and a dog. They are friendly, curious and well socialized with people and other animals. Dot, our boxer-collie, is especially good with dogs, cats and small children. For safety, we are able to easily separate pets either by partitioning/gating off rooms where they can maintain comfort, or utilizing the large dog crate in the front room where your pet will not be sequestered all by themselves, but still have a space they feel secure. I have no allergies, aversions, or phobias. I communicate well and will happily answer questions and provide references.

“Ian did an amazing job with our dog and cat (who can be difficult with strangers) while we took a weekend getaway. He sent lots of pictures and updates and we would love to use him again! Highly recommend.”

“Joel was an awesome sitter for our pup. He was quick to respond and went above and beyond. Our dog was happier when we returned than with any other rover we have used. Will re-book him in the future!”

“Danielle C was an outstanding pet and house sitter! I could not recommend her more. She communicated with me throughout her stay, sent amazing photos and clearly loved being with my dogs. I can’t wait to have her back :-)”

Liana D.

“Joree and my dog got along great. She stayed with him for the weekend while I took a last-minute trip. She sent plenty of photos and updates, and I came home to a clean house and relaxed dog. I would be happy to work with Joree again.”

“We love Carly! She is a great communicator. Is extra attentive and loving with our pets. She sent sweet photos and messages while we were gone. She is responsible and thoughtful and our pets love her!”

“Stacy has walked our two maltipoo dogs on several occasions now. Most recently, she house and dog sat for us, and she was great! She sent regular updates, and our dogs seemed to be in good spirits when we returned. She took great care of our home and our dogs, and we grateful to have found her! ”

Crissy C.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! Taking care of three dogs, each with their own unique personalities and needs, is no small feat, but Emily rocked it! Our shepherd loved her walks, our snuggly chihuahua got all the cuddles she needed, and our grouchy senior chihuahua received the special care she required. It was such a relief knowing our pups were in loving, capable hands while we were away. On top of that, our home was just as we left it—clean and well cared for. We highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a responsible, compassionate, and reliable pet sitter. We will absolutely be booking with her again!”

Michelle S.

“Cheryl was great to work with this weekend! She kept in contact and sent pics. My house was just like I left it, and my 3 fur babies were well cared for when I returned. I’ve already booked her for next month.”

Stacy G.

“Jared was such a perfect fit for what I needed. My dogs were carefully taken care of, and very well entertained by him. He kept me in the know of anything with the pups and was very attentive to one that needs a little extra for her anxiety. I would highly recommend Jared to anyone, I will for sure be a repeat!”

About: My father raised and trained dogs so I have been caring for dogs since childhood. I have been personally caring for my own dogs as well as dogs of family and friends for the past seven years. I am medically trained for emergencies and can care for special needs and sick dogs. I will treat your pet with the love and kindness as I do my own. I can be available day and night, weekends and holidays even on short notice. I am hoping to make this a full-time position and will be available seven days a week 24 hours a day and can provide same-day service. I will follow all rules of the home in which I am sitting. I will never leave pets unattended. They will have my full attention and safety is my number one priority.

“I cannot say enough amazing things about Deana! She was so wonderful with our very, very quirky dachshund who was sick with pneumonia, and equally as wonderful with our very shy cat. She was also so incredibly responsive and reliable. She picked up meds at the vet, and made sure they both got everything they needed. She also had to deal with a water leak in our apartment and was on top of everything, and overall just very respectful of our space. She is the absolute best house sitter we have ever had, and she is truly amazing. Thank you Deana 🙏🙏🙏”

“Karen is phenomenal!! Our 3yo doodle LOVED her, as did we😊 From our first interaction through watching our girl she was truly one in a million!!! She is proactive, thoughtful, excellent communicator, on time, flexible, responsible, caring with exceptional knowledge about dogs. We traveled from CO to NOLA for Jazzfest and she was happy to stay in our trailer at the EV park with our girl. Wish we could give her 100 stars 🌟🌟🌟for her stellar service!!! Thank you so much Karen, you are a true gem 🩵”

“Chloe was a great sitter for our dog and two cats. She was very communicative and sent a lot of photos which helped us feel at ease while we were away. Our dog barks a lot when he meets people but she seemed totally unfazed and he warmed up to her quickly. We would definitely book with her again!”

Santina P.

“Highly recommend Martha! This was my first time leaving my pup with someone I didn’t know, and she put all my worries to bed after the meet and greet. Sent daily pictures and messages, so I knew my dog was having a nice time :) Very attentive to the details I laid out and responsive to any questions or concerns I had throughout the entire experience and left my house just like it was when she arrived. I would book her again and would easily recommend her to anyone else!”

Jarrett E.

“Alyssa was perfect for Daisy. She brought her chiweenie Oliver with her and Daisy loved it. Alyssa was thorough and communicative the entire time we were gone. She is a natural pet sitter. We will definitely call upon her again for upcoming trips.”

Susan G.

“Hannah was great! My cats are a little rambunctious and like to spend the day outside and are sometimes a bit difficult to find when it comes time to come home. Hannah traversed blocks and bushes to track these little guys down to make sure they spent the night safe and sound at home! She sent lots of pictures and updates. I would definitely hire her again!”
