About: 💐 Spring is here! $50 off total fee for past clients (includes light to medium house cleaning) if you book 5 or more nights (April 1, 2026 - June 21, 2026). $25 off total fee for new clients if you book 3 or more days. (April 1, 2026 - June 21, 2026) $20 off total fees for NEW clients (includes light to medium housekeeping), PLUS $20 Rover discount if you use this code: https://www.rover.com/sit/gailg96208 (February 26 - March 20, 2026) Family, friends and acquaintances have been relying on me to care for their animals (and plants) when they are out of town, for they know that I will love and take care of them like they are mine. A bit about me: I get along quite well with children and animals. :) I'm also a city girl - born and raised - and am very careful when it comes to home safety/protection (e.g., locking doors, closing windows, asking for emergency contacts, watching out for suspicious people, checking mail/packages, etc.). I also believe in being discreet and maintaining clean, comfortable surroundings and will help with light/medium housekeeping duties. What I provide for your pet(s): a loving, protective, nurturing, respectful, caring, responsible, fun environment. I am involved in animal rescue, too, so I have lots of experience with animals of all ages including cats, dogs, birds, rabbits, hamsters, mice, rats, lizards (geckos, bearded dragons), and will petsit snakes, too, but I will not feed them live mammals. Thank you! References available. PETS ARE FAMILY! I will do my best to work around each client's needs. Regarding overnight stays: ****Each client has different needs, but here is what one could generally expect for overnight stays: an 8-hour overnight stay, dinner, 40-minute dog walk <depending on each 🐕 dog's overnight potty needs>, playtime, breakfast, another 40-minute walk, then a 40-minute midday or late afternoon walk. It also includes light/medium housekeeping duties. And of course, as much attention as s/he wants! 🐕🐾🐶 Please let me know about parking situations. ***Parking is not included in my fees (this statement of course only applies if complimentary parking or non-metered street are not available). ***Depending on each animal and pet parent(s)' situation, my fees are negotiable. I spend time playing with, talking to, and giving pets as much attention and affection as they like, respecting their space and individual personalities. It's all about them. 😺🐶🐹🐭🐰🐢🦎🐍

Lauren is absolutely WONDERFUL! She took great care of our Cleo. We loved the updates and photos. Clearly, Cleo had a blast. This was our family's first time using Rover. Lauren made the process delightful and easy. I highly recommend her.

Maolin was the best and took such good care of Avery! She sent daily updates of their adventures on walks and to the dog park. With her we knew our pup was safe and happy over a long trip out of town!

I could not have asked for a better dog sitting experience. I have an older dog and I was very selective about who I left him with on my first vacation away from him. Ellen sent me regular updates and pictures so I could see how he was doing. Her communication was excellent. She accommodated my drop off and pick up times. When she had a request to keep another dog for a couple of days in the middle of my dog’s stay, she contacted me to ask if that would be alright. It seems my dog was very comfortable with her at her place, and I am very grateful for that.

Olivia was very responsive and professional. We were looking for a late booking for a spontaneous getaway and she was amazing! She took wonderful care of our headstrong Chessie named Guapo. She kept us updated with photos and their activities. We would trust her anytime we need a sitter again! Thank you Olivia!

Amber was a rockstar. We are always nervous to leave our senior chiweenie with anyone new because he is very skiddish. He opened up to Amber, and her family was patient as he took more time to become comfy around them. She took him on nice walks and followed the scheduled to a tee. We appreciate the constant communication and honesty Amber provided about Franklin during his stay. We will 100% book Amber again to care for our buddy.

Andrew was so responsive and friendly. Diesel felt at home in their home right away! They welcomed him with open arms like a member of their family. We were so glad to find a sitter like Andrew. Diesel was safe and happy with Andrew’s adorable dogs and kids. We could enjoy our vacation completely knowing our pup was in great hands!

Angie was wonderful with our one year old mini bernedoodle Reggie. This was only the second time he stayed in someone’s house and the first time with Angie ! She’s a happy, very positive person and gave Reggie lots of TLC while we were away. She also had to administer pills to him and she wasn’t bothered by that at all. We plan to use her services again in January 2026.

For the first time ever, I had to leave my dog son for more than a day and I was definitely very uncertain on this whole you know . I couldn’t have asked for a better family to watch over my best friend and care for him like they did. Had me at ease while I was gone the whole time if you’re looking for the same reassurance, I was looking no further!

Marena was a fantastic sitter for my dog Max! She gave me frequent updates and had no issues with the provided instructions for his care. Marena took such great care of Max, I don’t think he wanted to leave when we picked him up :) I will definitely have her watch Max again in the future.

Karl is AMAZING! He watched our girls over our wedding weekend and it was so nice not to have to worry about them one bit. He sent pictures and updates through the weekend and somehow got our pullers to walk nicely on a leash. They came back tired from a weekend full of fun! Karl went above and beyond to support us and take care of our girlies and we will definitely be using his services again!
