Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable, loving sitter
I’ve been around animals my whole life. I grew up with two family dogs and several cats, and now I have a dog of my own. Caring for pets has always come naturally to me, and I genuinely love spending time with all kinds of animals. I also have two turtles at home, so I’m comfortable with a variety of pets and their unique needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping your pet company, I’m patient, reliable, and committed to making sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
This is the second time Gerald has taken care of my two dogs age 15 and 6. He is very caring with them and sends me lots of pics. The house was left in perfect condition for my return and I have no hesitation in recommending him.
This was Gerald’s first job through Rover, and I thought he was great, he went above and beyond—battling flooding to get to the house and managing a full day without power. The dogs were well cared for throughout his stay and he sent me lots of pictures which were fun to receive. One of the dogs did manage to scratch a piece of carpet after getting stuck in a room, but he handled the situation responsibly and kept me informed of the situation. Overall, Gerald did a great job, and I would absolutely recommend him to sit for your pets and I will be asking him back to look after mine when I next travel.
Gerald is great - our dogs had never stayed in someone else's home before but did really well at Gerald's house. Gerald is friendly and calm and my dogs responded well to that. He sent pictures and updates regularly, and even reached out to his vet when he had a question about a minor issue with our smaller dog. We were able to completely relax on our vacation without any worry about our dogs. Highly recommend.
Highly Recommend! Gerald is great with animals of all kinds, and truly has a special talent with reactive dogs. He has a calm, confident presence that dogs naturally respond to, and he’s able to show the right level of leadership without ever being harsh. He even got my two dogs, who previously didn’t get along, to be friends again. He’s incredibly loving, patient, and attentive with every animal in his care. If you’re looking for someone reliable who genuinely connects with dogs, especially those with behavioral quirks, I can’t recommend Gerald enough.

Schedule
I currently work from home, so I’m available around the clock to give your pets the attention they need. My routine is flexible, which allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. Whether your pet prefers a structured schedule or more relaxed companionship, I can easily adapt to their needs and keep them comfortable and happy.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In my home, pets have plenty of space to feel comfortable. I own a large house with a fully fenced yard, perfect for safe play and outdoor time. I also have a friendly dog named Lola who’s very used to meeting new dog friends and enjoys having company. I make sure visiting pets get lots of attention, exercise, and a calm, welcoming environment. Whether it’s indoor relaxation or supervised play outside, your pet will feel right at home here.
