If I could give Gary 10 ⭐️ , I would. He literally saved my dogs’ lives. While I was away, my neighborhood underwent an unexpected water main repair. My dogs rely on an automatic water bowl, but when the city completed the work, they made a critical error by forgetting to turn my line back on 😡. In the Texas heat, that could have turned into a complete tragedy fast. Gary didn't just show up to go through the motions. He knew something wasn’t right he sprang into action without hesitation, and went straight out to buy bottled water to keep my boys hydrated, safe, and comfortable. That level of awareness, quick thinking, and genuine responsibility is something you rarely find. Beyond handling an emergency like an absolute pro, his care was unmatched. Every visit came with consistent photo and video updates, real playtime, and the kind of attention where you can tell someone genuinely loves animals like their own. I had complete peace of mind knowing my dogs were in the best hands possible. If you are looking for someone reliable, proactive, and deeply caring, stop scrolling and book Gary. I’ve officially found my permanent sitter, and I can’t recommend him enough. Thank you, Gary! You’re a lifesaver. 💯

Gary sent great photos of all of the activities including food bowls and eating and treats and dog portraits. The photos show happy dogs who are being well cared for- Gary is everything you could ask for and then some when it comes to care for your animal

We consider ourselves fortunate to have Gary taking care of Melli these past two days. She was just over two weeks out of surgery and we were concerned about leaving her alone. Gary ensured she was treated royally and kept us updated with every visit. If we could give a 6 star review - We would. He has been fabulous

Garys does a great job and knows how to handle larger dogs. My dog loves to pull so needed someone familiar with stronger breeds.

Let me know if there is any specific accommodations that are needed for you pet (needs, medicine, diet, etc.). Additionally let me know how they should be introduced to other humans, pets, or exclusions that are needed to be had. All pets are different! I want to make sure they are comfortable and never are placed in a scenario that they dislike.
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.
