Safety, trust & environment

I have lots of grass outside & a gate inside.I would play with them outside, make sure they have a harness and a longer line ( so they are safe)& take them for walks. I can brush the dogs as well. I do prefer to stop at the clients house. I have 2 dogs at my house - it can be a lot. In the clients house I would first make sure the dog goes outside to the bathroom upon arrival. I would take them for a walk, play with the dogs outside( depending on the gate situation) Make sure they have lots of water, food & i can brush them.

Information allyson S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dogs have any allergies/ special needs. I have 2 dogs with skin issues/ food allergies. I am very attentive when it comes to that. I always make sure to read ingredients 3X before feeding it.

A typical day

I am very hands on! We will play with toys & take walks. Look around for new smells. We will play with enrichment toys for brain stimulation.

Work at a pet shop & have 3 dogs :)

Pet care experience

I have worked at the pet shop in town for almost 5 years. I have learned a lot about nutrition and am here to help with that as well. I have always loved dogs & animals. I have 3 dogs now and use to have cats growing up. I have always helped family/ friends with their pets. My cousins would call me “ the dog whisperer” I am very patient and understanding- a dog sometimes is anxious just like us humans. I think taking time out of the day and using interactive toys is so important for stimulation and keeping them busy.

Gade is wonderful with pets of all shapes and sizes, she is caring and considerate to whatever your pet needs. She was great at giving daily updates whether it was just a text or pictures of our happy animal. She would bring special treats, also spend time with the animal to give them the affection they needed while we were away. She is knowledgeable as well and understands what each pet needs and she can follow your directions to a T if your animal needs specific treatment.

Do you want your pet sitter to be the most loving and empathetic young adult you could ever encounter? Gade's warm and sweet personality translates into relationships with pets immediately! She understands when to snuggle and when to establish and enforce good behavior. Her professional experience in a successful pet supply shop has added to her knowledge of products and food options for allergies, etc. This extra layer of expertise makes her an excellent candidate for this role! Recommend!!!!

I highly recommend Gade Smith as a dog walker and pet sitter on Rover. Gade is not only a loving and responsible dog owner herself, but she also brings several years of hands-on experience from working at a privately owned pet store. Her deep understanding of animal behavior, combined with her calm and compassionate nature, makes her a natural with all kinds of pets. Gade is incredibly reliable, patient, and truly attentive to the needs of every animal in her care. She has a calm energy that animals seem to instantly trust and feel at ease around. Whether you're looking for someone to take your dog on regular walks or to provide thoughtful, loving care while you're away, you can feel completely confident leaving your pet in Gade's care. Your furry family member will be in excellent hands with Gade!

Gade is our go-to for our two golden retrievers! Convinced they like her more than they like me…! She is caring and her love for animals is unmatched- highly recommended!
