About: I have 6 years of experience taking care of 4 cats and my dog!! I can feed, give water, take walks, scoop boxes, and entertain with toys. I am also excellent with anxious pets and those who need a little extra care and love. I have a gentle voice and will always try to be aware of your pets' comfort level before approaching. I am currently in college, so I go to class various times during the week! Because of this, I may need to adjust arrival times depending on my class schedule and what days you need me for. This also means that I am good for vacations and other short-term jobs. I will work hard to provide a safe environment for all animals in accordance with guidelines set by my clients. For dogs, I prefer a fenced in yard, but will consider leashed walks depending on the size of your dog.

About: Hi, My name is Emily! I'm from Delaware and have done dog sitting through Rover.com for quite sometime now and love it. I also have 13+ years in professional pet care. I did a year with Rover before moving to Florida where I worked as a kennel technician, certified professional dog trainer, kennel supervisor and asst kennel manager. I also have a small amount of veterinary experience. I worked with a rescue and fostered dogs for a year. Since I’ve been back home and am a stay at home mom I have created my own successful insured business in the care and training of any and all dogs I absolutely love it! I also foster with Grass Roots Rescue and put on fun events for my clients doggos to help raise money. They are a blast. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover my whole life. I have had a family dog as far back as I remember. My past has shaped my passion for the care and training of dogs. Dogs bring so much love joy loyalty honesty and devotion to life, who wouldn’t want to make it their career. About my yard My back yard is completely fenced in with a 6 foot privacy fence. We even have indoor and outdoor cameras as well as an entryway yard and gate for added security. There are many trees so it's pretty cool and shady on hot summer days and plenty of room to explore. And for all you senior pet owners we have a huge handicap ramp leading to my back kitchen door. If you want your dogs to play with others it will be supervised and I’ll give you a full report on how they did. We also go on pack walks daily, weather permitting. A tired dog is a good dog. Want a bath and nail trim before they go home? Just let me know and consider it done. My home is a bi or split level home and I have dedicated one level to my dog care business. Spacious private areas have been mapped out for any dog or family of dogs so they may eat their meals, take breaks and sleep in their own space. I have it set up this way in case there’s any pups who don’t like other dogs, if certain dogs don’t get along or owners who don’t want their dog around other dogs. On the other hand, if your dog is not enjoying their area we can and will make any special accommodations necessary to provide a fun and stress free stay. My options are extensive for every pet parent. My experience administering medication is extensive. I can give just about any medication. Including insulin if needed. My certifications include pet CPR and first aide and professional dog trainer. I have also attended and graduated from multiple Cesars Way courses. In Fort Lauderdale and his ranch in California. I am a stay at home mom. Most I am gone for a day is 2-4 hours to run errands or expedite a training consultation at a clients home. You dog will have their own spacious area, where they will sleep, eat and rest. I follow a schedule where your dog will be let out at least 5 times a day, to go for a walk or play outside or to go potty. But, if your dog is having trouble settling in and prefers to free roam, I can and will make any changes in accommodations to make them more comfortable. As far as dogs on the furniture. I go by what you tell me. If they are allowed at home then exceptions can be made to make sure they are comfortable.

About: I’ve spent my entire life caring for animals, including dogs, cats, and horses, which has given me a deep understanding of their needs, behaviors, and personalities. Growing up with pets taught me the importance of consistency, patience, and attentive care, whether that meant daily feeding routines, grooming, exercise, or recognizing subtle signs that an animal might be stressed or unwell. I’m comfortable caring for pets of different ages, temperaments, and activity levels, and I approach every animal with kindness, reliability, and respect. My lifelong hands-on experience allows me to provide safe, loving, and attentive care, so pet parents can feel confident their pets are in capable and compassionate hands. I am currently in nursing school and work part time at two different jobs. Some weeks my school schedule changes so I might have more flexibility! I have a fenced in yard that I use for my dog. I am also able to crate animals as needed and will supervise all interactions.

Gabbi was absolutely wonderful. My dog Sam is getting older, and walking him requires patience, and Gabbi more than met the requirements. She checked in every day while I was on vacation and made it clear how much she cared for Sam. I will be hiring her again for all future walks.
