Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully fenced yard with no personal pets at the house. There are also no children as I live with my parents only. Our environment is generally quiet. Where your dog chooses to sleep/lounge is based on their preferences; they are more than welcome to sleep in my room if they need company at night, or living room space can also be arranged if they prefer to have a dedicated place alone from time to time in order to adjust to the new environment. In the day, constant supervision is provided indoors and outside.

Information Gaileen A. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. Any special instructions will be followed as a rule, and I'll be happy to assist. Note: Accepting a pickup/drop-off request is dependent on the distance; this also applies for the rate.

A typical day

Depending on your dog's preferences, we have a fenced yard to run around in, take a long walk, or play interactively indoors; if they love to hike, even better as my dad and I are hiking enthusiasts! I'm open to any specific activities or games that your pet enjoys so that they have a fun time as they wait for you. Daily updates with photos and messages will be provided to keep you informed and reassured.

We were looking for a new pet sitter after our previous one moved out of town. Gaileen’s calm and friendly personality and her excellent care for our dog during a recent trial stay has put my worries to rest. She sent regular updates, followed my dog’s routine, and was super easy to communicate with. We will definitely be boarding with her again in the future.

I'm so pleased the way Gaileen took care of Sasha and she updated me everyday about how she was doing. And love all the pictures show me that Sasha was very happy and comfortable with Gaileen. Thank so much Gaileen hope the next time I go on vacation you're e available.

Gaileen took wonderful care of our dog while we were out of the country for two weeks. When you're that far away, it's hard not to be a little nervous about your pup. But Gaileen sent daily updates and pictures and took Indiana on lots of adventures. We could see that she was having a fun time and felt very comfortable in Gaileen's home. I've already requested another booking. Don't hesitate - book with Gaileen before her calendar fills up! :)

We are so thankful for Gaileen! Our pup is always in good care with Gaileen and we so appreciate the updates and sticking to Louie’s schedule. Gaileen is easy to contact and communicate with and has been flexible on timing with us when needed. Thanks for taking great care of our pup!

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.
