Pet care experience

Welcome! I really love meeting new pets, getting to know their personalities and making sure your pet is 100% happy and comfortable. For the past four years on Rover—and more than 25 years caring for friends’ and family pets—I’ve learned one thing: every animal has their own personality, routines, and comforts. We can arrange a meeting with your pet(s) to make sure I get to know schedules, dispositions, allergies and other things I should be aware to provide full, loving care of your pet. I can provide care, attention, and of course plenty of love & treats. These Meet‑and‑Greets help me understand everything from feeding and meds to personality and play style. I offer day care and overnight stays at your home for pet(s). My schedule is flexible, but travel-season & holiday bookings can fill quickly—reserving early ensures your spot.

Very sweet and understanding of my fearful dog! She brought treats and got him comfortable with her before we left for the walk. Milo really like her even though he’s very fearful of people.

Geri is great with our pets. Milo and Charlie love her. She made cookies for us when had arrived home from along dsy. Also love how she sends pictures and videos. She’s wonderful.

Gerri has taken care of Louie 4 times now and each time she does such a wonderful job. She plays with Louie and sends lots of pictures and videos. I always know Gerri will be very good with Louie and can relax while I am away knowing she has everything under control.

Gerri took such good care of my Louie again. He was a very happy puppy. She also did a great job with taking care of the house. Really appreciate the daily updates and pictures!

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.
