Information Gillian S. would like to know about your pet

Ahead of time, I'd like to know any special needs your pet has, what kind of activities they enjoy, and their energy levels. Notes: 1. Out of respect of my roommates I do not accept dogs that are not house trained or have a history of frequent accidents. 2. Please ensure that your dog is clean when they come to me!

A typical day

I live right next to Riverside and love going for walks there or in central park! I also like going to the local dog parks!

Gillian was great, she took great care of my dog. She gave me updates and was quick to respond and was very punctual. I would definitely reccomended her and she will be the first person I reach out to whenever I need a dog sitter moving forward.

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.
