Top rated Alert house sitters
“Felicia is the absolute best, she took excellent care of our Miranda, who is an indoor outdoor sassy kitty. Every day we got photos, and a little blurb about how our cat is doing. She is professional and caring. 10/10 reccommend!”
“Lexi is one of the best sitters out there! You can tell she is passionate for animals and treats them as her own. She was so great at communicating with us and is very responsive. We received a video update on our pups as well. The house was left in the same shape we left it in. Very kind, sweet, and caring girl!”
“Bridget did a wonderful job with both our cat and dog. She went above and beyond with regards to sending photos, keeping us up to date on everything, and making sure our pets were happy. It was visible in the photos how comfy and content our pets were with her. She even did arts and crafts with them and took Letti to get ice cream. On top of all this, Bridget was watching our pets at a point where the cat and dog were getting used to living with one another, and she did a wonderful job giving them supervised interactions and continuing our socialization for both of them while we were gone. Can’t recommend her enough!”
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals since I was 10, including dogs, cats, parrots, chickens, and horses, and have some dog training experience. I just graduated from college, so I have a relatively free schedule as I transition, and would love to dedicate that time to animal care! I make sure I am very attentive when seeing what the pet needs, and I make sure to accommodate for whatever recommendations my clients would like to see being done. I also have a flexible schedule and can work around whatever is needed for them to remain happy and healthy.
“Addison did a terrific job when she stayed over night with our tiny Yorkie, Piper. She sent pictures, gave lots of updates, and was comfortable reaching out if she had questions about anything. She was friendly and kind and Piper warmed up to her very quickly when she came for the meet and greet prior to her stay here. We definitely recommend her and will be rebooking with her in the future!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A+ Puppy Sitter! Kylee is truly amazing! She’s been taking care of my puppy, and I couldn’t be more impressed. From the moment they met, my pup took to her instantly — which says a lot, because dogs know good people. Kylee is kind, patient, and super attentive. She keeps me updated with adorable photos and little check-ins, which always puts my mind at ease. Not only does she make sure my puppy is safe and happy, but she also plays with him, reinforces good habits, and gives him all the love and attention he needs (including his favorite after-dinner treat!). It’s clear she genuinely cares and goes above and beyond. If you’re lucky enough to have Kylee watching your fur baby, rest assured — they’re in the best hands. Highly, highly recommended!”
“Anna did fantastic with Maverick and Pennzoil!!! She made us feel comfortable, kept us updated, was so friendly, and went above and beyond caring for our lil buddies and giving them a great experience while we were out of town! We’d definitely recommend her to anyone in need of a sitter!”
“Brooke was fantastic to work with and did a great job taking care of Scarlett while we were out of town. She sent daily updates and pictures letting us know our Lil Miss was doing just fine. She ran the vacuum and left the kitchen spotless. We will definitely use her again.”
About: I love cats, dogs- pretty much all animals ! We've had dogs all throughout my childhood and I absolutely am in love with them. My husband and i adopted our first ever cat in 2020 and I’ve been in love with cats ever since. We even adopted a one eyed cat in 2022. I also have beagle and shih Tzu mix. I’ve had pets pretty much all my life and am very responsible. I work from home, so that means I’m pretty flexible through the week and with last minute notices. I always prefer some type of notice, as I do work full time. I am always happy to keep your fur babies company and give them the best care needed! I know they’re just like another family member.
“Andrew did a great job. He communicated very well and let us know what was going on with a lot of pics and videos. It was nice to not be stressed and worry about home. He went above and beyond and made sure everything was taken care off and even helped with house chores! Very grateful to find a great sitter!”

About: I’ve taken care of animal all my life and I’ve always been good with training them and loving them.

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was little. Training them, grooming them, and playing with them. I took vet classes in High School and am currently enrolled in college for Animal Care and Behavior. I work full time with Allied Universal and part time at five below. I have free weekends and can provide care early mornings on the weekdays. At your house, I will give your pet the best play and care I can give. I love playing with both cats and dogs, and love caring for both. I would love some more hands on experience other than with my own pets.
About: I have had dogs my whole life, I strive to make all animals’ lives better. I believe mental stimulation is just as important as physical activity. I am currently preparing to start grooming school this year! (I also have quite a bit of experience with houseplants!) I work night shift (6pm - 4:30am) so it can be difficult but I make pet care a priority. I make sure to spend as much time outside as possible doing a mix of basic training and puzzles. I live on a farm with an open field and one semi-reactive dog (Which would be put in the house to prevent accidents). While outside I take my dog for walks around the field so she can sniff and dig as much as she would like. I also do snuffle mats/dog puzzles

Just give me a call if you need me to watch your pet I will give your pet the required amount of exercise, nutrition, and attention needed. I will bathe your pet once a week and brush there fur
About: I am currently booking for 4th of July, & Labor Day. Plan ahead! I can’t do boarding I can be available for house sitting but it also depends on travel, because if I can’t get enough to travel and stay because I have dogs of my own, I would need to leave momentarily keep that in mind. I don’t mind staying but dogs need to come with and I have 3 1 of which is a dog aggressive dog, so I have to keep her separate from other dogs that are new to her. But all my other dogs are fine drop ins please be specific I am charging $15 for a meet and greet fee I will explain later, but I’m most willing to do any breed, just ask no aggressive dogs (with people) and if you back out during the stay or drop in I will charge an extra $100-200 depending on how many animals if you have more than a few animals expect it to be a little pricey. I love dogs and provide the best quality of care like they are my own. But I just want to cover all the basis before you book I am currently working as a part time rover sitter. So I may or may not have available times as of now I’ve just selected available so people can message me I take care of dogs like they are my own, I love them like they are mine, if I want my own dogs fed, let out etc, but I don’t expect someone to be there right at the time, and understand they have lives too. I give them lots of love and love cuddling with dogs and playing fetch, or something with them, I do the necessities potty if needed every 4-8 hours depends on the age of the dog too and the service
