Safety, trust & environment

On walks I always make sure to be aware of my surroundings and avoid other dogs just in case. For drop-ins I would ensure that all water and food bowls are full/food is given based on strict instructions from the owner. I wouldn’t mind playing with the pets as well!

Information Gaia R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs or certain behaviors so that I am aware of them. That way I’m prepared!

A typical day

If I am with dogs I’ll play fetch with them, and if I’m with cats I’ll use toys and keep them occupied!

Pet care experience

I have owned all sorts of animals my entire life. From dogs to cats, to pigs and chickens, and I have experience caring for all of them. I have 3 regular clients on Rover who I walk for weekly. I have also done multiple drop-ins for people’s cats and dogs in the past. Tasks included feeding, cleaning, and changing litter. I feel so connected to animals and I love spending time with them. They will always be a part in my life.

She has been amazing with Rayo. He bonded with him very quickly, and it was clear from the start how attentive and caring she is. She is patient, flexible, and has been a huge help to us. Knowing Rayo is in such good hands gives me great peace of mind. I highly recommend her and will definitely continue trusting her with Rayo’s care.

Gaia has been absolutely wonderful with my 8yo pittie, she is kind and very prompt with all of her responses! My dog absolutely loves her and enjoys every walk with Gaia. She is reliable and trustworthy with my four-legged child! Would absolutely recommend her

Our boy immediately took to Gaia! She met him during our first week with him and she has been nothing but sweet and great with him. Bernie loves when she stops by for his daily afternoon walk. Since both my partner and I work, it is such a relief to know that our dog is in good hands when he needs some afternoon relief. Couldn’t recommend Gaia enough!!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
