Pet care experience

Loving and spoiling each every dog.

Mark (my husband) and I have had a dog for a long time. We lost our last dog when he reached 18+ and had a tumor in his heart. We had to have him put down at that point. We care for each dog as if it were our own. We have a large, fenced-in yard, along with dog toys, beds, blankets, and dishes. We only accept dogs from one family at a time.

Summer had a vacation with Gloria and Mark! We are so appreciative of the care she gets while we are away every time she stays with you.

“First time ever boarding our Pomeranian, and Gloria was amazing. We had told her he’s scared of thunderstorms, and of course there was a huge storm the one night he stayed. She took such good care of him and made us feel completely at ease. We’re so grateful for her kindness and attention. Highly recommend Gloria!”

Summer was mildly depressed before we left for our trip because she saw the bags, but when she made it to Gloria’s, she perked up driving into the neighborhood, and nearly ripped my arm out of socket to get back to her second family. Haha. We are so grateful for the care she gets from Gloria and Mark while we are away.

I love this couple watching my dog. She was so at home and happy staying for her first time. I will definitely be booking again when I need a sitter.

Schedule

I am retired, and Mark is semi-retired; he works outside of our home. However, when he is home, he enjoys spending time with each dog, whether playing inside the house, outside, or walking in the neighborhood. (Weather permitting.) Outside, there is enough room for playing ball and chasing squirrels, rabbits, chipmunks & birds!

Safety, trust & environment

Having a large fenced-in yard makes it easy to go out & play with them. We enjoy taking pictures of them while they are here to send to their parents so they will know how they are doing! We make sure the beds, blankets, toys, and dog dishes are cleaned & the water is replaced often. We use the owner's feeding schedule.

A typical day

We have a safe & friendly neighborhood that we love walking in when the weather is nice. Our backyard is fenced in & enjoy playing ball with the dogs. Inside, we have dog toys, dishes, blankets, beds & some outfits that we sometimes put on the dogs, take pictures of, and send to their "parents" so they will know they are okay.

Gloria can host up to 1 pet per night
We always ask to meet the parents & dogs before they stay here. We need the dog's names & ages. Name & number of their vet. Emergency names & numbers. Are they UTD on shots? Do they get along with other dogs or people? Are there special needs for them? Are they housebroken? How do they let you know they need to go out? How often & is there a set time to eat? Do you free-feed? How do they handle being left alone if that happens?
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.
