Im a Professional Dog Trainer

I grew up around all kinds of dogs. From little Chihuahuas, to a Great Dane. My mom was constantly getting puppies and I took care of them. I've always been great about paying attention to their health and getting them seen right away if there is something of serious concern. I'm a certified Veterinary Assistant, but I don't currently work in the field. I love dogs and cats, and have a golden retriever who is absolutely sweet with all animals. I also have an adopted pittie mix, who has a lot of energy but with some professional training, she has become the goodest girl. I also have a Great Dane who’s about two years old. He’s a giant baby haha I started my rover sitting/walking services in Colorado Springs and had many wonderful clients. I moved to Florida for 8 years and offered my services there. Now I’m moving back to Colorado Springs! I am currently available and have spots open for drop-ins and walks! :) I am actively accepting boarding requests with new and repeating clients!

Gladys was exceptional for our dogs. She was on point, on time, and even watered our plants. Because of Gladys, we had a totally stress free trip back home to see family. If she wasn’t moving to Colorado Springs, we’d hire her again in an instant. Thank you, Gladys!

Gladys was super awesome with my dog Beau! She communicated well and would update me daily. She even worked around my schedule changes to drop/pick him up. Highly recommend!

Gladys was great with my babies! This was our first time leaving them and they were super anxious but she handled every obstacle they threw her way, she even hand fed one when they wouldn't eat :) I feel very confident in leaving my loved ones in her care. Great a communicating and sending updates!

Schedule

I currently work full-time as a professional dog trainer and make my own schedule. I can morph my day to fit your pups needs. I do have kids so depending on their school schedule, I’ll have to adjust my day :)

Safety, trust & environment

I crate or find a way to separate all doggos at feeding time and any time I wont be home to keep an eye on them. I have a fenced yard, but I don't leave them outside for long without supervision, for safety reasons.

Pets

A typical day

First thing I do is let doggos out after waking my kiddos up. Then bring them back in and do feedings for anyone who has a morning feeding schedule. They'll free roam the house until bed time and get to hang out with me and my kiddos and any other dogs I may be watching. Dogs in training or trained by me will be in a down stay on their spots.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Gladys can host up to 4 pets per night
I would like to know if your pet is cat, dog, and child friendly. I have 3 dogs in our home and have 2 kids under the age of 12. I would also like to know the level of training your dog has. If they have no training, know some commands, or if they are advance trained and use certain commands/signals. If your doggo has any behavioral issues like marking, chewing, counter surfing for food, or being an escape artist, i'd like to know beforehand. We do not allow pets on furniture!
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.
