Highlights
Pet care experience
They’re HOME while you’re away.
I make your pets feel like they are at HOME. I am Dog CPR certified. I worked at a dog daycare/boarding business last 6 years that shut down due to slow business after Covid. I primarily worked the overnights closing the shop staying with the boarders and then opening the shop and starting the daycare. I absolutely loved it and was sad when it closed. It was my second job so when someone told me about Rover I knew that was perfect while I am working from home. I also help foster sometimes for the humane society with their special needs dogs. (Exp epilepsy and seizures, strict medication, etc). While your pets are with me they get to live how they do at home. Couches and the bed at night or bring their beds so they feel safe. Whatever your house rules will be my house rules ❤️❤️. I have a large fenced yard that they have access to all day plenty of dog toys to play in the house with plenty of space inside. I can provide medication and separate during feeding to keep all pets safe. I love all dogs like they’re my own ❤️🐕🐶

Ratings and reviews
Best pet sitter and dog friend - so thankful to drop off and pick up a happy dog.
I always feel relaxed on vacation, because my grandpuppy is well cared for, she treats him like her own baby. Gertrude is the best and Sean feels at home with her. Will never use anyone else.
Fantastic dog sitter with a fantastic dog. We are so lucky to have found Gertrude a while ago and she is our go to dog sitter. Polly loves her and her dog - you can tell every time we drop her off. Thank you so much Gertrude!
As always, Jet had a great time with a great sitter!!
Our dog loves going to Gertrude and her dog - the best dog care I could think of. Thank you so much!
"I have never been able to truly relax on vacation until I met Gertrude. She’s like a dog whisperer! Sean, as big as he is, absolutely loves her—and that gives me peace of mind. She really understands him, and that’s priceless. I’ll always choose her for doggy daycare."

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced yard at my home and a friendly dog to play. I can also housesit at your home with or without my dog because he can go visit his grandma (which he loves) or he can come with me and play if your pet likes visitors.

A typical day
I have an acre and a half to use. The front 1/3 acre is fenced. The back part is unfenced but I can leash and take the dog out back to play too. I have wetlands and woods to play in my backyard. I can take a walk to the nearby park, can walk to Pt Defiance, or walk down to waterfront from my home. I have a bin full of toys and games for dogs.
