Highlights
Pet care experience
Your Pet’s New Best Friend!
What sets me apart is the combination of genuine love for animals, hands-on experience, and attention to detail. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages – from playful puppies to wise seniors – and I understand that every pet has unique needs. I’m especially comfortable with senior dogs who may need medications, slower walks, or extra patience, and I have experience with basic puppy training, including crate training, leash manners, and potty routines. I’m also a great communicator – pet parents always know how their furry friend is doing, with regular updates and photos. Whether it’s keeping up with a high-energy pup or gently caring for an older dog, I adapt my care to fit their personality and needs. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, loved, and right at home.

Safety, trust & environment
When I care for pets in a client’s home, my focus is always on keeping their routine consistent, their environment clean, and their comfort level high. I follow all instructions closely — from feeding schedules and litter box cleaning to medication or specific quirks your cat (or dog!) may have. I respect your home like it’s my own: I keep things tidy, secure doors and windows, and always make sure your pet has fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of love and attention. I also take time to observe their behavior to make sure they’re feeling okay — especially important for shy or senior pets. If you'd like, you’ll get regular updates with photos and notes, so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. My goal is to make your absence as stress-free as possible — for both you and your pet.
Ratings and reviews
Gloria was wonderful with our two French Bulldogs, Taz and Zoe, and we would absolutely book her again! Before we booked, she offered to come by for a meet-and-greet, which we really appreciated. What stood out immediately was her calm, gentle nature. Taz and Zoe are usually very excited around new people, but within minutes they were lying beside her, completely relaxed. That told me she was a perfect fit. She was easy to communicate with, confirmed our booking before our trip, and sent updates and photos after we left, which gave us great peace of mind. I also appreciated her honesty when Zoe accidentally slid a chair into the wall, leaving a small dent. Gloria immediately let us know and sent a photo, even though she wasn’t sure whether it had already been there. That kind of integrity means a lot. When we returned home, our house was just as we left it, and Taz and Zoe were happy, relaxed, and obviously well cared for. Gloria is dependable, trustworthy, and truly cares about the pets she watches. We highly recommend her!
Gloria did an absolutely amazing job watching my dogs for 3 nights. I was worried about leaving our recently adopted rescue for the first time, but Gloria took excellent care of both dogs and was very communicative. On top of that, she left the house cleaner than we left it, going above and beyond. We will definitely be hiring her again!
Gloria has always had a deep love and respect for animals, and caring for them comes naturally to her. She is the kind of person who will stop whatever she is doing to help a lost, injured, or frightened animal, because she genuinely sees them as deserving of compassion, patience, and safety. Gloria is incredibly kind, trustworthy, and attentive. She pays close attention to details and takes responsibility seriously, which gives me complete confidence in her ability to care for pets as if they were her own. Animals respond to her calm and gentle nature, and she has a special way of making them feel comfortable and secure. In addition to her love for animals, Gloria is a dedicated and driven young woman. She is graduating from her university this school year and has successfully balanced her academic responsibilities while being a student athlete. This speaks volumes about her time management, discipline, and commitment which are qualities I feel that are essential when caring for pets and honoring their routines. Any pet parent would be lucky to have Gloria care for their furry family members. She doesn’t just watch pets; she truly cares for them with her whole heart.
Gloria is my cousin (so I've known her my whole life) and one of my very closest friends. She is very responsible and kind and definitely loves animals more than anyone else that I know. I personally would let her take care of any pet of mine and I would have confidence that she's giving the pet more love and care than it needs.

Schedule
As a college athlete, I maintain a structured and active routine — and I make pet care a priority within that. I have plenty of downtime between classes and practices, which gives me the flexibility to schedule drop-in visits, feedings, and quality playtime with your pet. I’m highly responsible with time management and always communicate my availability clearly. If I have an upcoming game or weekend away, I let clients know in advance and only accept bookings I can fully commit to. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care whenever I’m available — and to make sure your pet feels safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you're away.
