They’re HOME while you’re away.

Pet care experience

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 ❤️🐕🐶

Gertrude did great! Will definitely book with her again. My pup had the time of her life running around with her new pup friend and meeting a horse for the first time. Great communication and very friendly.

Information Gertrude J. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs, medications, or allergies to make sure I can perfectly car for your baby. At my home your dog can be on the couch, sleep in a bed, kennel or the ground. Neither matter it’s just important to make them most comfortable and feel like home

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.
