Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully fenced front yard. The property is not accessible to any trails as we live on a cliff side. However, I can drive about five minutes and walk your pup if need be. If I’m staying in your home I will do whatever you usually do for your pet.

Information Gisella R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or if there’s anything specific that your dog likes or doesn’t like. I’d love to know if they’re friendly with people, cats, children, or other dogs.

A typical day

Physical and mental work is so important in dogs. We’ll go for a long walk or a long hike or will even go for a run if allowed. And I have countless games that we can play even just at home.

Pet care experience

*New to Rover…NOT new to pet sitting!* Hi there! My name is Gisella. I live in Big Sur and I absolutely adore dogs (and cats). I’ve owned dogs throughout my whole life…I don’t remember ever not having a dog, actually. All of our dogs have always been rescues/adopted, and with that comes its challenges, especially dealing with different types of personalities in dogs. I’m comfortable with all dogs, big or small, young or old. I worked for Carmel Valley Vet and was team leader at Dawg House Grooming Salon in Carmel Valley Village. I can ensure your pet will be in great care with some of my amazing references. I have years of dog sitting/walking, house sitting experience and I’ll treat your pets as my own.

We had a last-minute trip to Big Sur and a one-day retreat to attend, so we were looking for daycare for our dog, Ollie. We're very thankful that Gisella was able to take her in. Ollie was excited to meet Gisella, and they had a wonderful time together! Gisella is very thoughtful—she provides clear instructions and communicates well.

I have known Gisella for several years. I hired her to work in our grooming salon, where she excelled. As I grew to know Gisella, I observed her deep connection with animals and the extent to which she went to give her time for lost, injured, or homeless pets. I have always known Gisella to housesit, provide walks, or other care to our local pets and she is always the first person I refer people to when they are searching for a pet sitter. I highly recommend Gisella for any pet sitting needs because I know she will love your pet just as much as you do.

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.
