In your home... your rules apply. In my home.. your rules apply. I work closely with all pet parents on how to best care for each and every pet. Every single pet is different in my opinion. I try to gather as much information as I can to understand the needs and wants of each fur baby and their owners. Please feel free to ask detailed questions. I also ask that you provide detailed rules and exemptions.

Information Gloria L. would like to know about your pet

I have worked in veterinary and emergency hospitals as well animal rescues. I am very comfortable with health and medical needs, different breeds, ages and sizes. No matter the situation I will do my best and relay all concerns or questions asap.

A typical day

Fetch, treat work. Tug-o-war, follow the leader, hide and seek. I typically let the pet choose their method of play time in a given day but it always helps to get likes and dislikes from pet parents first.

Tender and experienced pet care

Pet care experience

Thanks for checking me out!! Your pets will be loved and well taken care of. I have worked with animals my whole life, from fish and dogs to chickens and horses. I have worked as a vet tech in the past and am happy to give any prescribed oral medications, bandage checks, cones, basic care, food restrictions or special diets. I understand the busy lives of pets and their parents so I work hard to cooperate with changing schedules and special accommodations. Communication is the key to success. I respect your babies and all your wishes when it comes to caring for your them. While your pets stay at My home there is fun and lots of play time. Everyone in the house is excited and eager to be involved with animal care and will be very gentle your fur babies . We also take walks to the park and around the neighborhood. Ask me anything!

Gloria was absolutely amazing. She went above and beyond with caring for my dogs and looking after them. I’ve had other sitters in the past but Gloria really is to my standards. She even cleaned the dog bowls and sent pictures of the dogs. I really appreciated everything she did :)

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.
