While I wouldn't consider "gerunds" (or even adverbs) to be mistakes, if you're worried about your grammar, hire an editor to do a line-edit. Explain (if this is the case) that you're happy with the story and don't want a content edit, but you do want to polish your grammar, structure, word choice, spelling, and so on.

Publishers do have editors, but if your work is not already the best it can be, why would they waste their time and money on you?

So yes, IMHO, it does honestly matter, and you should make the effort to clean up your manuscript as much as humanly possible.
