Pet care experience

Friendly Pet Companion

I’m a loving pet owner with three female dogs (ages 3, 5, and 7) that I treat like my children, and I’m very attentive to their moods and needs. I’ve also cared for cats, including litter maintenance, and I have a lively 6-month-old tortoise. I love keeping pets happy, safe, and comfortable, providing plenty of play, cuddles, and attention. I’m experienced with multiple pets and pets of all personalities, and I treat every animal like family.

Make sure your pet can stay in a kennel most of the day. Customers are not allowed to enter the home. Pet sitter doesn’t want one in his house.

Gerardo was perfect for my dog. He was so gracious and welcoming my dog as this is the first time I’ve ever boarded him. I will not hesitate to use him ever in the future, as I have a lot of confidence and trust in him. He goes above and beyond what I expected.

Gerardo was great with accepting to puppy sit at short notice. He kept me updated on how they were and contacting me with questions when needed. I’ll be hiring Gerardo again.

Gerardo responded to my request for care right away and was very pleasant to work with. My dog, Charlie, got good care and was very happy when I picked him up. Gerardo is very close to Quail Creek where we stayed, so it was perfect. I would definitely recommend Gerardo and use him again!

Schedule

I treat my pets like my own children, so I’m very attentive to their daily needs. I feed them morning, midday, and night, and provide 3–5 potty breaks throughout the day. If I’m ever unavailable, my partner helps with their care, ensuring pets are always happy, healthy, and comfortable. I’m used to keeping a consistent routine and paying close attention to pets’ moods and needs.

Safety, trust & environment

I ensure that pets are always safe, comfortable, and well supervised, whether in my home or theirs. I maintain a clean and organized environment, including cleaning dogs’ potty areas daily or weekly and cats’ litter boxes daily, with full litter changes every 1–5 days. I pay close attention to pets’ routines, moods, and needs. With experience caring for multiple dogs, cats, and even a tortoise, I make sure every pet is happy, cared for, and treated like family. I prioritize trust and clear communication with owners so they can feel confident their pets are in good hands.

Pets

A typical day

I love keeping pets happy, active, and engaged throughout the day! Depending on their needs and energy, a typical day might include walks around the neighborhood, jogging or playing fetch, trips to the dog park, or exploring local trails. I provide plenty of playtime, cuddles, and attention, and I always reward good behavior with treats. I also make sure pets stick to their regular routine, including meals, potty breaks, and quiet time when needed. Every day is tailored to the pet’s personality, energy level, and happiness keeping them safe, loved, and entertained!

I like to know about any special needs, routines, or quirks your pets may have before their stay. This includes feeding schedules, allergies, medications, favorite toys, and energy levels. I also ask about how they interact with other animals and people, any fears or triggers, and their potty routines. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can ensure your pets are safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away.( please do not book with me if your pup is not crate trained , they will be in a kennel during night time to avoid accidents or damage to property since I cannot supervise as I sleep )
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.
