Pet care experience
I’ve been enjoying pet and house sitting nearly full time for the past year through TrustedHousesitters. Before that I sat for friends and neighbors through word of mouth. I grew up with beloved cat, dog and rat pets. I’m into plants too, so I’d be happy to care for yours while you’re away.
Reviews
Gerome (and her partner Alse) did a wonderful job taking care of my two kitties. Kind, communicative, and thoughtful care was given. Got plenty of photo updates and general updates. I’ve had many cat sitters and she went above and beyond in making sure both of my pals were loved. Highly recommend.
Gerome took care of our home and our little shiba "Setsuko" along with Alse C in December. They were fantastic and even made the effort to come and meet us/our dog ahead of the sit so they were a familiar face for our dog when they returned for the sit. They kept us updated with anything going on and were key in helping us having a relaxed vacation away from our doggo. Thank you both!
Rachel (Gerome) stayed at our home for three months last summer and took excellent care of all living things (our cat and our plants and garden) as well as the house and property itself. Everthing was spotlessly clean and we could tell our kitty was a happy camper, even after an unexpected vet visit that Gerome expertly handled for us. We would gladly welcome her back anytime to house/pet sit for us and highly recommend her as a sitter.
I have to say I've probably lost track of how many times Gerome's watched our pets... I think probably four or five and and we have plans for her to come back again next week for our next trip... so I guess you could say whenever she's available, she's our first choice :-). I think a sign of how we feel about her is we never bug her about sending reports of pictures because when she's there, we know everything's good.... but if days go by and she doesn't hear from us, she'll often send a text anyway with a photo of one of the cats and news of signs they've been in a scuffle with another animal or that they've taken their meds. She's great with the pets, flexible, and she always leaves the house, probably better than the way she found it!

It’s an honor and a pleasure to get to spend quality time with pets in their own homes where they are comfy. I love getting to know all the quirks of each animal and providing care accordingly.

An initial meet and greet with in-person explanations about your pets paired with good written instructions for me to refer back to are most appreciated!
A typical day
I can easily arrange my day around your pets’ regular schedule. Please let me know if your pets have any special needs or likes/dislikes so I can make sure to give them the care they need and deserve. For instance: do they get along with dogs? Cats? Kids? Do they like/dislike to be picked up, petted, or brushed in certain ways? Any medical issues?
