Pet care experience

Your pets new best friend!

I’ve been around animals my whole life. Growing up I spent summers working with animals on my grandparents farm. I got my first puppy at 10 and raised him his entire life through middle school, high school, and he even got to see me graduate college with a social work degree. I currently have two rescue bunnies, a 9 year old rescue mutt and a 1 year old dachsund. I am currently training with a reactive pitbull mix who I walk every morning. I’ve been house sitting for family friends for years and saw this as an amazing opportunity to do more of that! I’m experienced with a wide range of animals and can also care for rabbits and other small animals.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home safety is a priority. I have prey animals (bunnies) and predators (my dog) living in a shared space. Individuals with experience know that when any animals are interacting supervision is 100% always necessary. Whatever your preference is within your home whether it be pet gates, crates, a locked front door or fence, I completely understand and would prefer to follow vigilantly for your pets safety as well as mine. My dog is not allowed certain chews that I might deem dangerous so I completely understand those restrictions as well! Whatever makes your dog feel most safe an comfortable.

Gayle was so wonderful with my cat! I was very nervous leaving my cat for 10 days but Gayle made me feel so much more at ease. I received daily photos and videos and she really took the time to get to know my cat. Would highly recommend her and would use her services again.

I like to be informed on your dogs needs and behaviors before hand. It makes out time together so much easier when I know what they like or dislike. Most importantly if your dog pulls on walks or is reactive towards dogs, people, cars etc.
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.
