Gillian is the absolute best! Took exceptional care of our dog while we were away and really went above and beyond to ensure his happiness. Sent us great updates and we felt so comfortable and thankful to have him in such good hands while we were away. Could not be happier or recommend her more highly.

A major part of any trip is feeling at peace knowing your pet is well taken care of. I knew my Penny was in good care with Gillian. I so appreciated all the pictures and updates while I was away. Thank you so much! 🤍

Gillian was so great with Oliver. She was easy to communicate with and so welcoming. I felt comfortable leaving Oliver with her for the first time. Gillian provided updates and pictures throughout his stay. We look forward to booking with her again! 🐾

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.
