Safety, trust & environment

I cannot care for pets in my Condo due to Association Rules. In terms of caring for pets in a clients home, I respect the rules of the household. When I had petsitters at my home, it was so important that they respect and care for my home as if it was there own. I am a responsible home owner.

Information Gail B. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs. I will not accept aggressive dogs. I would need to know if your dog is socialized with other pups at dog parks for example.

A typical day

I know how important to stimulate dogs to keep them alert and happy. Playing with their toys and walking with plenty of time to sniff and investigate helps towards this.

"Retired Dog and Cat Lover

Pet care experience

My experience is with being a pet parent to my dog Scout, who passed in 2021 at the age of 16. I took him in directly off the street. At first he was leash agressive and had terrible seperation anxiety. We worked through both issues with patience and love. Scout was a funny, smart and active dog. I also took in my cat Sophie off the street in 1998. We were together for 12 years.

Gail watched my 3 dogs overnight for 5 days. She took good care of them and they are happy to see her.

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.
