Personalized care for your dog or cat - Gertrude
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Gertrude
“This was my first time booking with Bobbi, and she was absolutely fantastic! From the very start, her communication was excellent and made me feel totally at ease. My dogs looked relaxed and happy when I picked them up, and I could tell they were well cared for and got plenty of walks and attention. They even made some new pup friends while staying with her! I really appreciated the updates and just how smoothly everything went. I’ll definitely be booking with Bobbi again!”
“Dani, thank you! You gifted us peace of mind. We appreciated knowing that our Jack Dog was treated like a member of your family. For others considering booking with Dani: she was responsive, flexible, and kind. Her home and property are gorgeous, clean, and safe for our fur babies. Her two dogs were friendly and welcoming to our Jack Dog.”
“Jena is truly an angel! I don’t have enough words to thank Jena and her beautiful family for the love they gave Fuzzy. From the moment I dropped him off, I felt at peace knowing he was in the kindest, most caring hands. She sent me daily photos and updates that warmed my heart — Fuzzy looked so happy, relaxed, and truly loved. She even gave him a bath, and he came home smelling amazing, so soft, and full of joy. It honestly felt like he was part of their family. Knowing he was that well cared for means everything to me. Jena, thank you for treating Fuzzy like your own — we can’t wait to see you again! 💕🐶✨”
“Dee Anne took was able to take Luna in on very short notice. She took great care of her. Great communication, care, and made Luna comfortable. Highly recommended, and hope to be able to have her care for Luna again in the future!”
“Jennifer was fantastic! This was our first time boarding our pup with someone other than close friends and we were pretty nervous, but we felt very comfortable after meeting with Jennifer. She kept us up-to-date on Pip's escapades with her own dogs, and made sure we had plenty of pictures of him having the time of his life. He even played with her dogs! (He's struggled with knowing how to play with other dogs since we adopted him). We absolutely recommend her to watch your pups!”
“Our dog Walter was so well cared for. Ethan is thoughtful and an excellent caregiver and business person! He is prompt, caring and our dog had a great time! He came home tired from all the play with dog friends, I got updates, photos and know he was well cared for. Highly recommend 🐕”
“Wonderful communication, professionalism, and enthusiasm. She worked with my requests and provided a worry free experience. I really appreciated Sheena's help in sitting our puppy and would definitely use her again!”
“Kana and her husband are WONDERFUL people! They took great care of Piper and he appeared to have loved his time there. We live out of state and I was worried about who I got and how Piper would like them, I was so happy I chose them! They have a great yard to let the dogs run and all is very well kept and clean. I would not hesitate to use Kana again if we are ever in the area! Thanks for taking such good care of my baby!”
“Loved Dana from the start! She watched our 1 year old English bulldog for 2 weeks for us and so glad we went through her. She dealt with numerous date changes (thank you military) and was still very gracious. Would highly recommend to anyone! Thank you again for watching our crazy pup for us!”
“Tobi is amazing! She always takes such wonderful care of our sweet Emme girl! If you want someone who loves fur babies and will take great care of them, you’ve found her! Thank you, Tobi! 🐶❤️”
“Kelly was great with our little one, she frequently reached out to us with photos and videos, assuring us that she had settled into a routine and was comfortable. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Kelly again. Thanks Kelly 🙏”
“Highest Reviews for Jennifer. most sitter were very prompt in getting back to me none could accommodate my schedule. Jennifer said yes and was very prompt with all of the follow-up replies. great location and setting. I will recommend her to anyone and will use her services again when needed. Thank you very much.”
“I adore Vicki and her hubby. They both show a lot of love for canine critters and take such good care of them. They have a great backyard for the dogs to explore, and I never worry one bit about my dog!”
“Our pup had a fantastic time with Christianna! She took wonderful care of our dog. A trip to the lake with her family, walks and lots of play time with her two dogs - even allowed on the furniture 😊. I really appreciated the pics and texts reassuring me. I absolutely would use and recommend Christianna to anyone needing a dog sitter.”
“Took excellent care of our active young dog. Sent photos and videos daily. He definitely had a good time playing with her dogs! Thank you for all your help while we were away!”
“Anita was so wonderful for our dog, Bentley. Bentley is paralyzed and in diapers, so very special needs. She sent pictures and messages every day, and I was so pleased to see Bentley in perfect condition when getting back home. I say this because with a handicap dog, sores and rashes are very common, but he had none. It's like I had been taking care of him the entire time. Bentley will absolutely stay with Anita again!”
“Fawn was great with Lola. My wife was a little nervous leaving the pup for 9 days. Wide open space for her to run and Lola and a companion to play with to boot. We really appreciated the daily photos.”
“Always love the way the dogs are cared for with Jeremy. Regular updates throughout the time they’re with him. No complaints. As long as he’s available, he’s always our go-to dog sitter!”

“Katey was wonderful! She took great care of my cat, so much so that I'm not sure Starfall wanted to come home. :) She updated me with photos and videos, and was very attentive to Starfall's needs. She's very friendly and easy to work with. I plan on having Starfall stay with her in the future!”
“Brian did a great job checking in on our dogs! We were gone on a day trip and just need someone to stop bye and let the dogs out. He handled them very well, took pictures and let us know everything was okay. We will definitely we reaching out in the future 💗”
About: What sets me apart is my combination of lifelong hands-on experience and professional knowledge of animal care. I’ve had dogs for most of my life and have always shared my home with cats. Growing up, my family bred our dog, and I helped raise and potty train the puppies before they went to their forever homes. That experience taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement from an early age. Today, I’m a high school Animal Science teacher, where I teach students about animal health, behavior, welfare, and responsible care. I enjoy working with dogs of all ages, especially reinforcing good manners and basic training. Friends and family often ask me for help with training their dogs, and I love helping build confidence through positive reinforcement. I’m also experienced administering medications and following detailed care instructions, so I’m comfortable caring for pets with special medical or daily care needs. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy, an adult dog who loves adventure, a senior who prefers a slower pace, or a cat who enjoys a calm companion, I’ll provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate care tailored to their individual needs. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving you peace of mind through regular updates and photos. Since I’m a teacher on summer break I have lots of weekday availability right now. I have very flexible availability, if you don’t see the time/days you need on my schedule, don’t hesitate to reach out and ask. I have a fenced in yard and an XL wire kennel in a calm area your furry friend is welcome to use. My dog, Lady, is very sweet and gets along really well with other dogs (even her grumpy old cousin). She loves playing with others, but I can keep her separated as needed. My cat, Mister, he is okay with other dogs coming over and just hangs out in his own space until he can trust the new doggo. I will treat your pet with the love and care I give to mine. I will follow any rules, commands, and training practices that you use with your pet. I use force-free, reward-based training to build clear communication, trust, and reliable everyday behavior. I have experience with gentle leaders, no-pull harnesses, and structured collar systems when appropriate for safety and handling. I can help with: * Loose-leash walking & pulling * Leash reactivity / frustration * Basic obedience (sit, down, stay, recall) * Recall in distracting environments * Impulse control & leash manners My approach is tailored to each dog’s temperament and focuses on real-world success and consistency between sessions. I also make sure to review each pet’s profile so owners don’t have to repeat information. For severe aggression or complex behavioral cases, I’ll communicate honestly if a certified behaviorist may be a better fit.
“Aeja did an incredible job with our drop-in visits! She was reliable, communicative, and took such great care of our dogs. We loved receiving updates and photos, and it was obvious our pups were happy and comfortable with her. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely book with her again! 🐾💙”
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals ever since I was a child living on a farm- dogs, cats, horses, chickens, rabbits, fish, and even plants! I have a deep sense of care for animals and living things, and will nurture and attend to your loved ones’ needs while you are away. I have a one year old chocolate Lab named George who gets along great with other dogs and is polite and respectful with cats. He comes with me on overnight stays and walks, but can stay in my truck for drop-in visits if you prefer. I can take your dog on long walks or visit dog parks during the day and give them plenty of playtime and attention. Available for drop in feeding visits, walks, or overnight stays. I am available to drop by or stay overnight in client’s homes. I have a pickup with a canopy to transport your dogs to the dog park, and have access to a private beach. Comfortable with large breeds, leash training and working with behavioral issues. Let me know what your pets need and I will be happy to accommodate.
“To our relief, Alisha was available during the Christmas holidays. Our regular sitter was out of town and recommended her highly. Alisha braved terrible weather to drop in and care for our kitty. We’re grateful for her reliable service.”
About: Cats are my heart - I’ve had them my whole life and currently chase around two very spoiled rescues. I adore the moods, quirks, and secret routines of our mysterious little housemates. I’m calm, gentle, and always respectful of their space. Whether your cat is snuggly, sassy, or shy, I’ll make sure they feel safe, seen, and loved - treats, playtime, meds, litter scooping and all.
About: have 2 years of hands-on experience caring for cats and genuinely enjoy making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. My experience includes feeding, brushing, litter box care, playtime, and providing plenty of attention based on each cat’s individual personality and needs. I understand how important routine and patience can be for cats, especially in their home environment. Whether your cat is social and playful or more shy and independent, I take the time to help them feel comfortable and respected. I’m also comfortable administering medications with clear instructions and always aim to provide dependable, attentive care and regular updates for pet parents.
About: I have 2 cats of my own that are in door only. I’d love to care for your cat while you’re away! I understand that every cat has their own unique personality, routine, and comfort level, and I’m committed to providing patient, attentive care that helps them feel safe and relaxed in their own home. Whether your cat loves to play, prefers quiet companionship, or simply needs reliable daily care, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, fresh food and water, clean litter, and lots of love. I’m happy to follow any special instructions, including administering medications (if needed), maintaining feeding schedules, and sending regular photo and video updates so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. My goal is to treat every cat like family and provide dependable, compassionate care that keeps both you and your feline friend happy. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, respectful of your home, and truly enjoys spending time with cats, I’d be honored to help.

“Kana was very attentive to our dog's needs. She took care of her so well. My dog was excited to come back on the second day because they played with her and provided good activities. We appreciated very much their kindness with us and my energetic puppy.”
“Ethan and his dog Nico took great care of Yonder! I received updates and very good photos all day while he was in Ethan’s care. Yonder came back absolutely exhausted from playing in the yard. Thanks Ethan!”

I have had pets all my life back home and I loved them all sooo much. I am free most of days of the week in between my classes, good for drop ins and dog walks :) Lots of play, cuddle, excercise and attention. What ever the pet needs and wants, I try my best to fullfil. If they need to let out energy, let them play in the yard, if they need alone time, let them nap, etc. Lots of toys and enrichment activities, and lots of love.

“Alyssa is great, and it is so nice knowing Kuna is safe and happy. Nice outdoor space, comfy dog friendly house. We always feel confident leaving Kuna with Alyssa when we can’t take her with us.”
“Awesome sitter. Morpheus had a blast and was calm coming home which is such a great thing because he has nonstop energy. Matt sent me a video of him having fun shortly after I left him and quickly responded to any texts I sent while Morpheus was in his care. We will be going back!”
“Wonderful experience, highly recommend, will be going to him again. Our dog was eager to go inside and didn’t even notice us leaving. He sent us pictures and a video throughout the day, as well as a detailed care report with feeding and bathroom breaks at the end of the day. He was always quick to reply if we checked on her and very flexible with drop off and pick up times. If you need a dog sitter call Jeremy you will be so glad you did. So grateful for having some one who cares and a home environment to leave our baby when we can’t take her with us.”
About: Hi there, my name is Noelle! I’ve been working with animals my whole life, by helping my mother with her pet sitting business, to taking care of my own creature babies. I have experience with small/medium dogs, cats, and exotics such as reptiles and birds. I’m not squeamish around bugs either if you happen to have creepy crawly friends! I took care of my beloved family dog, Daffy for 14 years until her passing. I have experience with elderly dogs such as giving them medicine, frequent potty breaks, etc. I have a Russian Tortoise named Gaia, I’ve had him for about 6 years now! I also have a Siamese mix named Millie, so I’ve had my fair share of live in pet experience. I currently work from home on my computer and can take breaks whenever needed to give your pet attention. My job doesn’t have a schedule, so I can be there pretty much whenever you need me! I excel at following written/verbal instruction, just tell me what your babies need, and I will follow to the letter. More information is always welcome!
About: I’ve had dogs of all ages and sizes in my life since childhood. I’ve trained several dogs and am very patient and loving to all. I’m currently retired and can work with just about any schedule. Please contact me directly to arrange a time that works best for your pup. I have a fully fenced back yard and currently no animals of my own. Summer I spend most my time on my deck and in my garden. Your pup is welcome to join me. I have recently became a grandma and occasionally am a babysitter. Your pup must be loving towards toddlers to join us unless it’s a short stay that my babies won’t be joining. Contact me for additional scheduling. Thanks for understanding. Besides a few trips to the store or an occasional appointment I am home pretty much 24/7 so I’ll become your pups new bestie 😁 I have a fully fenced backyard. Because we have so many bunnies in our area when we build our fence we attached chicken wire to the bottom of the fence and buried the end in the dirt. So even the littlest of pups are safe!
“Jennifer and Champ are the best! They are both so welcoming. My middle-aged Lab is usually somewhat mellow and indifferent, but when he arrived for his second visit at Jennifer's house, he was super bouncy and excited! Jennifer has a big fenced yard and she has transformed her house for ultimate dog-friendly comfort. She sent pictures and updates throughout his visit, and even printed a beautiful photo of him for me to take home. Jennifer is very responsive, quickly responding to my inquiries about scheduling and and answering questions. I knew my Nikko was in good hands and I felt 100 percent comfortable leaving my pup with her. I just hope she doesn't get too popular and busy!”
About: I’ve cared for animals at every stage of life, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and attention.

I’ll follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, giving them plenty of love, attention, exercise, and care to help them feel happy and at ease.

“Alright... where to begin! Brian did a wonderful meet and greet with my boys (two newfoundlands) and walked them today without me..that may seem like a strange thing to say but Byron (my younger boy) refuses to go on a walk for anyone but me - not even my husband! He was perfectly fine on going on the walk with Sinjin (my older boy) and Brian. No temper tantrums, no refusal to walk. NONE of it. Brian took them on a good walk, they had fun and their were no problems.”

I am able to fit whatever needs the client has. If your pets are accustomed to being out and about in the home, I can spend time with them that way.

About: Lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience! I grew up with multiple dogs and have spent years walking and caring for pets, including overnight stays. I’m comfortable with different routines, energy levels, and personalities—and I always make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and cared for.

I’m patient, observant, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs, whether that’s extra exercise, gentle care, or simply companionship. I am currently working 5 days a week, and will be available on my days off. I miss dog sitting/dog walking as a hobby and would love to start doing it again. I have 3 cats and 2 dogs at my house, so I prefer to take care of the pets at the owners home. I would care for them by playing, taking them outside as needed, staying on a feeding schedule and possibly bathing if the owners request !

“This was my first time booking with Bobbi, and she was absolutely fantastic! From the very start, her communication was excellent and made me feel totally at ease. My dogs looked relaxed and happy when I picked them up, and I could tell they were well cared for and got plenty of walks and attention. They even made some new pup friends while staying with her! I really appreciated the updates and just how smoothly everything went. I’ll definitely be booking with Bobbi again!”
“Jena is truly an angel! I don’t have enough words to thank Jena and her beautiful family for the love they gave Fuzzy. From the moment I dropped him off, I felt at peace knowing he was in the kindest, most caring hands. She sent me daily photos and updates that warmed my heart — Fuzzy looked so happy, relaxed, and truly loved. She even gave him a bath, and he came home smelling amazing, so soft, and full of joy. It honestly felt like he was part of their family. Knowing he was that well cared for means everything to me. Jena, thank you for treating Fuzzy like your own — we can’t wait to see you again! 💕🐶✨”

I absolutely would use and recommend Christianna to anyone needing a dog sitter.”
“Fawn was great with Lola. My wife was a little nervous leaving the pup for 9 days. Wide open space for her to run and Lola and a companion to play with to boot. We really appreciated the daily photos.”
“Always love the way the dogs are cared for with Jeremy. Regular updates throughout the time they’re with him. No complaints. As long as he’s available, he’s always our go-to dog sitter!”
“Rebecca was absolutely amazing with my puppy, Latto, this past weekend! It was my first time being away from her, so naturally I was a little nervous, but Rebecca made the entire experience so comfortable and stress-free. From the start, she was communicative, kind, and clearly very caring with animals. She kept me updated, took great care of Latto, and treated her like she was her own. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my puppy was in such good hands while I was away. When I came back, everything was perfect and Latto was happy and well cared for. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely great with puppies, I highly recommend Rebecca. I will absolutely be booking with her again! 🐾”
“Meredith was fantastic with Delta and gave her all the extra attention my very anxious girl needed during her stay. She understands dog needs, incorporated a slow and safe introduction to the other dogs present, and was quick to respond to any messages. Delta made a few friends, enjoyed playing with the other pups, and was exhausted by the time she was picked up. Will absolutely be boarding with Meredith in the near future.”
“Mariana and her family were so kind and accomodating for Sienna for my 3-day weekend. They took her for walks, fed her on her normal routine and always made sure she had her eye drops! I had to pick her up a bit later on a Sunday and they were just fine with that. I will be calling Mariana again when I'm out of town as I know Sienna will be so well taken care of!”
“Amazing!!! Zuko enjoys his staycation while at James's place. I never worry that he is being taken care of. I will never take him anywhere else. I hesitate to leave a good review, then his place will fill up, lol!. Seriously they are the best!!!”
“Jennifer was such a great host for my doggies. She made my first time with rover worth while and would love to book with her again for any vacations. She’s very experienced and knowledgeable of labs (I’m sure all other dogs). Since my dogs are young they could be a handful and with her experience she was able to do some training during their stay. I highly recommend her to first time rover users or just anyone looking for a skilled host with great professionalism and communication skills.”
“She did very good at helping us feel comfortable leaving our Doggo for the first time. Got pictures of her day and she responded to the messages so quick. Was very patient and flexible with us too. 100% will book again”
“Taylor was seriously the best! I could tell that Frankie had the best time with her and her dog Rue. You can tell that she really loves animals and loves to spoil them! I didn't have to stress at all because I knew Frankie was having a great time on her own "vacation". She was great with communication and sent me the cutest photos of Frankie. Whenever I'm in the area, Taylor will be the first person I call if I need sitter again!”
“Elizabeth is great! She was very responsive when I had to book a last minute dog sitting and was very friendly and helpful in general. We got some cute updates of our dog feeling right at home with her and the other pups that were around, which led to a stress free vacation. I’m definitely going to be booking again with Elizabeth and would highly recommend her to anyone.”
