Gwen went above and beyond for our two Sphynx cats! She wiped their eyes and behinds, which is normally difficult as a two man job- so I’m very impressed! Our more apprehensive cat warmed up to her immediately and she provided much needed cuddles for him. She even emptied our LitterRobot correctly, which can be a little complicated. I appreciate all of the care, updates and time that she provided for us.

Gwen was patient with our mastiff that can be slow to warm up. By the end of day one he was relaxing and by the end of the stay, they were friends. I appreciate the effort to win over my big bashful guy

Gwen did a fabulous job in home sitting for our dog. She sent daily photos and updates as we traveled for the week. Tucker was well taken care of and we came back to a well taken care of home as well. Id highly recommend her services!

Gwen is such a blessing- she went above and beyond when our old lady cat needed medicine on a schedule and needed extra care. She has been caring for our pets for two years and we trust her completely.

Gwen was incredible with our crew! She has a calming energy that our anxious pups appreciated. She was amazing with our dogs and cat alike and problem solved their quirks seamlessly. We look forward to her staying in our home for future trips!

I like to know what a typical day looks like for your pet so I can keep them as close to your regular schedule as possible. I like to know if your dog is reactive to specific things, has allergies, and any specific command words they respond well to. I also like to know what types of activities/play your pet enjoys engaging in. I appreciate written instructions.
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.
