Puppy Love Close to the Parks!

Pet care experience

I grew up around dogs. I had pets of my own all throughout my childhood. My experience includes daily volunteer work at a local animal shelter, pet sitting for multiple clients found via services like Rover. I have also done quite a bit of pet sitting for friends and acquaintances. I am comfortable with dogs of all size and breed. I can provide references upon request. I want to pet sit because I really enjoy the company of dogs, and I truly enjoy taking care of them. Since I do not have one of my own currently, I simply sit for the joy that being around dogs and seeing their face when I come home provides me. For the routine, I would walk the dog 3 times a day, feeding 3 times a day. Playtime would be in the evening, and I do not like confining dogs so they would be able to be free around the apartment. I like to make sure the dogs are able to keep clean, so I would be able to bathe and brush out the dogs. I live right around the Seaport, so the majority of our walks would be there. I work and go to school very close to home, so I can come home on breaks to check on the dog. Any dog I board will be treated like family. Currently, I do not have any other dogs, so your dog would be the only one in the apartment. I have a dog-loving roommate who tends to be home whenever I am not, so your dog would hardly ever be alone! I would love the opportunity to take care of the furry part of your family, and I hope to hear from you soon!

Gabrielle was very communicative during our pup’s weekend boarding at her place, she sent pictures and updates throughout. Her Pomeranian is also adorable and I could tell our pup had a good time with them and was taken care of.

This was my first booking so I wasnt sure what to expect. I paid for two thirty minutes visits per day and I don’t think I got what I paid for. Minimal communication during the booking. When I messaged her she responded but nothing otherwise.

I am very disappointed with my experience. I paid for two thirty minute visits per day for three days and I definitely didn't get that. When I got home at noon the water bowl was bone dry and the food dish was completely empty. I don't know how many days my cat had to be left alone for that to happen. I am also very disappointed with Rover's customer service. I was given a $35 credit on my next Rover booking. This booking cost $150 and the sitter didn't do what they were paid to do. They wanted to mediate a discussion between me and the sitter. In my opinion, they should have brought up my complaint to the sitter and gotten her side of the story first.

Was a good sitter and responded quickly whenever I texted her. My only complaint would be we didnt get any updates unless asked and only 3 pix in the 7 day stay. But took good care of my doggo. :)

Information Gabrielle B. would like to know about your pet

I have no breed preferences. Before I sit a dog, I like to know what their habits are. I would love to know if they have any commands to use the restroom, if they have any specific fears like the vacuum or storms, or if they have any destructive tendencies. I prefer not to confine dogs when I am not home. I want to make sure your dog is just as happy with me as they are at home!

A typical day

If the owner is okay with it, I love going to dog parks and throwing balls around. After we go out and about, I would make sure to bathe the dog. I keep kale treats for dogs I pet sit, so at night we would hang out and watch some TV. If you let me know what your dog likes to do, and I'll make sure we do it!

I work from home and the occasional evening to manage a play, so your fur baby will have a near constant companion. Your dog will also have a small buddy Toby, a fox faced Pomeranian who loves to play. Communicate you schedule with me, and I am sure we'll find something will work.
