About: I’ve been looking after fluffy frens of all shapes and sizes from a young age. My time doing a full house/dog sitting gig was for my grandparents and their French bulldog, Sugar (miss you, Sugs!). Since then I have been the go-to for my friends and family for taking care of their for legged family. I make sure your fury family gets the love and care they need, whether you just have one smol dog or a pack of greyhounds. I currently had a stretch of rough health luck, but my ails are your pups gain! I’m currently on the mend, and it’s going well, but between jobs, so my schedule is wide open. I’ll have the time to give your pups the TLC they deserve! Currently unavailable to board pets at my house, but I will make sure to treat all pets in a safe and caring way. I’ll treat them like a newborn baby, because hey, in a way they are!
“Jenn was wonderful! She was dependable and super responsive. She sent us frequent photo updates as well which made us feel comfortable knowing our dog was in great hands while we were away”
“Alex is great with animals, respectful, kind, caring and compassionate. She is great with communication and made me feel like my pets were being well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“It was our second time hiring Elizabeth, another positive experience. My pooch likes his walks and we are grateful she is ok with taking him. She is great with giving updates and sending photos. Upon return the house was just as we left it.”
“Keisha took such great care of our two French bulldogs that are not exactly the easiest. She also did a great job trouble shooting some unanticipated situations like transportation issues and getting locked out — we will 100% use her again.”
“What peace of mind Daniela gave us! She was great at communicating, answering questions and texts, and snuggling our pups. She’s a pro for sure who goes above and beyond and I’m so glad we found her!”
“I’ve had Melissa watch my pups multiple times now and it makes traveling so much easier. She is very attentive to the dogs needs makes sure to give them the stimulation they need. I will continue booking her for when I’m traveling”
“Maya was AWESOME! We needed a last minute Rover to stay at our house and watch our 2 pups for a night and she was such a good fit for the job. Super communicative & sweet — we always received the cutest pupdates. Our dogs were 100% in great hands & we’ll definitely be booking with Maya in the future! 😊”
“Lynette was terrific with our dogs. One of our dogs is blind and the other one had been turned down from a doggy daycare for not being friendly enough. She spent time with them and sent us pictures of both of them in her lap sleeping. We have already talked with her about watching them again in March. Great job!! and great service.”
About: Hello! I am a dog lover through and through, as I’ve spent much of my life caring for my own pups and dog sitting for friends and family. I also worked at a doggy daycare for a little over a year, where I was responsible for managing large groups of dogs. We regularly fed, trained, and administered a variety of meds to the dogs in our care. I had the opportunity to work with many different dogs as well, from senior dogs with special needs to young, energetic puppies of all sizes! I have always been extremely passionate about understanding dog behaviors so that I can provide the best care for every pup :) I have a lot of time throughout the week to care for your pups! I’m available Mon-Fri and I can be flexible regarding timing. Most weekends are open for me as well—just communicate what is needed and I will try my best to make myself available :) I always provide a safe, comfortable environment at your home while sticking to a structured routine of potties, feeding, and/or any medication needs. I’ll do my best to ensure your pet feels relaxed and confident while you’re away!
“Melissa was amazing with our two labs. She took impeccable care of them and our home. She is conscientious, organized and soooo kind! Our girls loved her. Lots of pictures and updates. Our minds were at ease during our last minute getaway! Would absolutely recommend!”
“Andrianne was wonderful! She was communicative throughout her time with Tex. Pictures often! She Not only took good care of our precious dog, but Our Home as well! I would highly recommend Adrianne for your pet sitting needs! We will definitely be using her again! Words I would use to describe her: kind, trustworthy,friendly!”
“Marilia communicated often sending updates and pictures, and was very open to our instructions and the pets’ daily routines. We felt good that Marilia would care for them well while we were able to focus on our flight process without having to worry if the pets were eating and going potty when they needed to. Thank you so much for looking after them!”
“Brianna was a very attentive dog sitter to our high energy pup! She was also very good about letting us know when Sloane acted up so that we could help her handle the situation! Such a great house guest! She even stripped the bed!”
“Samantha did a wonderful job during an overnight say with my Sasha. She came to meet Sasha beforehand and get a quick tour of the house and rundown of Sasha's schedule. During her stay, she sent lots of pictures and updates. She also left my home cleaner than when I had left! I am extremely appreciative of Samantha's care that she put towards watching my fur baby.”
About: I’ve been a devoted animal lover and pet owner for as long as I can remember. From dogs and cats to caring for pets with unique personalities and needs, animals have always been a huge part of my life. Currently, I share my home with a lovable, mischievous hound mix who keeps me on my toes and a cat who completely stole my heart. A few years ago, I lost my soul dog, Jersey, and that experience deepened my understanding of the special bond we share with our pets. I know firsthand how difficult it can be to leave them behind and trust someone else with their care. That’s why I treat every pet as if they were my own—with patience, affection, attention, and plenty of love. Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in visit, playtime, cuddles, a walk, or simply a friendly face while you’re away, my goal is to make them feel safe, happy, and cared for. I also know how important peace of mind is for pet parents, so you can expect regular updates, photos, and communication throughout my visits. Because I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that often allows me to accommodate drop-in visits and pet care needs throughout the day. I’m committed to providing dependable, compassionate care and building a trusting relationship with both you and your pets. I look forward to meeting your furry family members and becoming someone you can count on whenever you need a helping hand! 🐾❤️ I work from home and have a decently flexible schedule. I have a young son and pets of my own but thankfully I share these responsibilities with my rockstar husband so I will be able to care for your fur babies. I understand that having a stranger in your home can be a little uncomfortable. I will 💯 respect your space and keep things clean in order for your while you are gone. Please let me know your preferences for my stay.

Alverno pet parents share their Rover experiences
Amanda was wonderful. This was the first time we traveled without our puppy and we were a bit apprehensive. However, Amanda eased our concerns. She arrived a few minutes early which signaled a level of reliability that was very welcome. While we were away, Amanda provided regular updates and pictures. As a result, we were able to enjoy our vacation. And our puppy seemed to genuinely enjoy Amanda. We will definitely use Amanda again. We would feel very comfortable leaving our puppy with her.
Sonia and Alex did an absolutely excellent job caring for my dog. He is developmentally delayed, requires daily medication, and is incontinent, so his care takes extra attention and patience. Throughout the 6 days he was with them, they communicated promptly and openly about any challenges that came up, and together we were able to make simple adjustments to ensure his stay was comfortable and successful. They sent pictures frequently, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. From every photo, it was clear that my dog was happy, well cared for, and comfortable in their care. I am incredibly grateful for the compassion, flexibility, and attentiveness Sonia and Alex showed, and I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone—especially those with pets who have special needs.
Caitlyn was once again outstanding. She provided excellent care for our five dogs and accommodated our newest addition on short notice. She handled Mayhem’s medications perfectly (which is an absolute necessity as she has Addison’s Disease) and shared lots of regular photo updates, which we greatly appreciated during our 10-day absence. Our dogs clearly adore her and are always excited to see her. This is our fourth time using Caitlyn, and we hope she’ll continue to sit for us! I really can’t say enough good things!
Alissa was amazing! I can’t say enough good things about her. Her communication was phenomenal and she went above and beyond to take great care of our dog while we were away on vacation. The house was perfect when we got back and she sent numerous updates and pictures while we were away. We would gladly welcome her back!
We can't speak highly enough of Katherine who has watched our house and pets numerous times. She is caring, thoughtful, and provides the pets (dog and 2 cats) with all the attention they need and then some. We came home to a spotless house and felt comfortable/like the pets were in good hands while we were abroad.
This was our first time using Alex to watch our pets and it won’t be the last! He did a great job with our two dogs and three cats and taking care of our home. He kept us updated regularly and sent us photos. He was very respectful of our home! I would definitely recommend Alex and will be using him in the future!
