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. 😺🐶🐹🐭🐰🐢🦎🐍

We had a great experience with Ellen this past long weekend. She took wonderful care of our goldendoodle and made the whole process easy and stress free. Communication was excellent throughout — we received regular updates and photos that gave us real peace of mind while we were away. She truly went above and beyond for us. Highly recommend!

Mary was an excellent host. Her two dogs Ellie and Fufu were so welcoming and Laika meshed in with ease. Cannot recommend more highly and I looked forward to booking again and again.

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!

Alexandria is the best. She took care of Star as her own. She even went to the vet to pick up some medications that were needed during the stay. I would go with Alexandria again anytime over anyone else! I cannot say enough good things about her. She clearly loves dogs and goes above and beyond expectations!

Hallie was awesome with our dog for a long weekend trip. She has a nice clean home with a fenced in yard. We felt really comfortable the whole time and did not worry about Foss at all. He did great with her pups and it’s obvious she cares so much about our dog’s well-being which is exactly what we want when leaving our dog with someone. She was quick to respond to all of our messages, too.

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!

Andrew and his family were very welcoming to Dolly, and they sent an update during our trip so we knew she was adjusting. At pick up it was easy to tell that she had become one of the gang. We would recommend Andrew to care for your pet!

Karl was great. Just in Ohio for the summer and had to find someone for Sampson for a couple different trips. Was a little anxious to leave Sampson but I knew from the initial meeting, that we picked a great person in Karl. I received pictures or a video each day and Sampson had a great time playing with all the other friends he made. I got a happy, tired dog back! Looking forward to Karl taking care of Sampson later this summer.

Lauren and her family were wonderful with our two dogs. She was very communicative and kept us updated while we were on vacation. We enjoyed all the photos with the updates. I especially appreciate the care she took when their arthritis was acting up. We felt comfortable with the dogs in her care and their additional medical needs (medication).

Brynn was responsive and sent so many pictures. Our dog came back happy and tired from his walks. She also let him sleep on the heated blanket. Would recommend Brynn to anyone!
