Top rated Gertrude house sitters

“Taylor exceeded our expectations watching and attending to our two Boston terriers. Both for our "kiddos " need medicines around the clock. The house was as if a cleaning crew came in and freshened it up. We have already booked Taylor again.”


“Anna is an incredible sitter. Our dogs immediately took to her on the meet and greet. We knew she had to be the one we chose and couldn't be happier with the love she gave them and amazing care she took of our home. We all have gained more than a Rover contact...we have a new friend !”


“My puppies had a wonderful time with Theo, and I received daily updates and pictures. They were comfortable, had lots of fun, and got lots of cuddles. She is able to handle their rambunctiousness with care and understanding. Highly recommend, great communication, easy to work with. I will definitely be asking for Theo again! I think she is the perfect dog sitter!”


“First time using Rover so I was a little nervous, but I had nothing to worry about. Sierra did an awesome job of taking care of my dog and 3 cats. Will definitely book her for my next trip.”


“Madelyn was an excellent sitter for Frito! She was very communicative and shared pictures. Kept me updated on how she was doing throughout our trip. And the house was spotless when we got home. Will definitely hope to book her again!”


“Abella did a great job house sitting and taking care of my two doggos! She was responsive to the booking quickly and stopped by before I left to learn about their needs and routine. The dogs were well taken care of and she took great care of the house as well.”


“We invited Elizabeth to take care of Rocky in our home for two weeks recently. We are extremely pleased with her loving and attentive care of Rocky and our house. He needs lots and lots of cuddles and therefore does not do well at the kennel for that long of a period. She send regular updates and photos, which were reassuring, so we enjoyed our vacation without any worry about things “back home”. Although she doesn’t claim to be a plant expert, she watered all my house plants as instructed. When requested, she washed all her linens and remade her bed in the guest room, so it was ready the day after her departure. You can’t go wrong choosing Elizabeth for any of your pet services.”


“Lisa is awesome! She was extremely attentive and well prepared to stay here with Cooper while we were away. She communicated with us very well and took care of all the details. We highly recommend Lisa for any pet sitting needs!”


“We can’t say enough good things about the wonderful care Aydin gave our girls while we were away. Aydin was attentive, kind, communicative, and treated our dogs like his own. He sent us tons of pictures (which was so much appreciated while we were away), and made sure our older dog got her meds exactly when they were due. He went above and beyond all of our expectations of care for our girls! We had no issues leaving our girls with Aydin and we will absolutely be booking again!”


“Winnie is so great!!! This was our first time using Rover so I was a little nervous about leaving our dog with a stranger but Winnie came over for a visit and he liked her right away. She did a great job taking care of him while we were gone, sent pictures, and went above and beyond cleaning up the house before she left. We really appreciated knowing our pup was in good hands and will definitely be using Winnie again :)”

About: I have enjoyed taking care of pets in my neighborhood from a young age, and more recently have helped train service dogs through a school program. I also have two dogs of my own who love to walk and play. I have a flexible schedule and am able to run or walk or play with your pet most days and times. Looking forward to meeting your pet! I can walk your pet where recommended or take them to the nearest pet friendly park. I will follow feeding and safety instructions to ensure your pet is happy and healthy.

About: Hi! I'm Rori, your local dog sitting, walking, and treat feeding expert. I love all puppers spunky personalities- whether they like to burrow in your bed (like my dachshunds), hold the leash in their mouth on walks, or even bark when they want attention. My favorite part about coming home after a day at work (or even after five minutes) is when you first see your dog and they wiggle or squeal with excitement. I am very flexible with my availability, and I understand that sometimes life gets in the way and you may need someone at the last minute. I am very responsive and I will look after your fur-baby like it is my own. Whether you're tied up with work or need a weekend getaway, I will be available to help with all your doggie needs. I am passionate about my job, and it also allows me to be flexible. If I’m watching your furry friend during the work week, I can let them out every 3-4 hours. On the weekends, I am extremely flexible. I will ensure your dog is walked every day and is taken care of. My schedule is flexible. I also have no problem communicating with my clients if we need to come up with a solution to watching their animals in regards to dates/times to make your trip less stressful. We do not have a fenced backyard, but I have no problem taking your dog outside on a leash for potty time. I also like to walk at least two times a day (morning and evening) to get your dog outside. I do not have a problem using a crate- but you need to provide the bed/crate etc. so that your dog is comfortable in a new environment.

About: Hello my name is Evelyn and I’ve been around many dogs my whole life I currently have just one dog his name is Oliver he is part Yorkie I also have 2 guinea pigs who’s names are sushi and piggy . I’ve never came across an animal that doesn’t love me. I am currently available at all times day or night I will provide the best care by feeding them, playing with them or anything that is needed and if it is a puppy if he/ she has an accident I will make sure to clean up after them. I am a very happy positive respectful person who is currently going to school and hope to make some extra cash by watching your pets. I’ll also be very respectful and courteous when entering your home at all times. I also happen to speak spanish as well as English. I enjoy being active so walking dogs is something I would enjoy very much. I also like being outdoors so I will make sure walks are pleasant! I will make sure they are treated as if they were my own. I always make sure they have plenty of water and food in their bowl.
