Pets treated like royalty

Pet care experience

I have always had animals and I have a genuine love for animals of all kinds. Spending time with pets doesn’t feel like a job to me — it’s something I truly enjoy. I’m naturally attentive, gentle, and patient, and I take the responsibility of caring for someone’s pet very seriously. My job is flexible so I have the time and availability to assist with whatever your needs are. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routines, and needs. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and needing a calm presence, I adapt to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m reliable, organized, and committed to following your instructions closely so your pet’s routine stays consistent while you’re away. You can count on me to provide regular updates and photos, so you always feel connected and reassured. My goal is simple: to treat your pet with the same kindness, attention, and respect that I would want for my own. I would love the opportunity to earn your trust and care for your furry family member.

Gavin was fantastic! Communicated very well while we were gone and Mia seemed well-loved. And the house was in great shape when we got home

Gavin has taken care of my dogs multiple times! Every time he goes above and beyond by taking them on walks, playing with them even if it’s cold out, following their feeding schedules, and loving on them when i can’t. He’s very a very kind young man!!

We, my wife and I, hired Gavin to watch/walk/care for our Borador, Auggie, for 2 weeks while we traveled out of the country. While traveling, Gavin was great about asking appropriate questions concerning the care and feeding of Auggie...and even sent some fun updates. When we arrived home, it was clear our dog was well-cared for and loved. We have zero hesitation recommending Gavin.

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.
