“Heidi was a fantastic sitter. Took great care of my cat Rey, and gave her great attention while I was gone which helped reduce her anxiety. She is very communicative, made the process very smooth, and was trustworthy.”


About: I have worked in the pet care industry for over 7 years as a pet groomer, bather, and kennel tech. I particularly enjoy working with senior and special needs pets, and I have experience working with a variety of animals, from dogs and cats to mice and ferrets. Long-term, I am going back to school to pursue an advanced degree in animal behavior, and to become a certified applied animal behaviorist, which means using what I've learned about how animals communicate and behave to improve their relationships with people. I currently have full-time availability, which means I am able to work around your busy schedule! Whether you need someone to stop by for a mid-afternoon potty break or a house-sitter for a week, I am available! I believe consistency and routine is key to helping your fur baby feel comfortable while you're gone. If they are used to going out at a certain time and then eating breakfast, I want to make sure there are as few changes to their schedule as possible. I also want you to feel as comfortable as possible, which means picture and text updates as often as you'd like!
“We love Rachel! Especially our dog and cat! Rachel is attentive, engaging and caring which was already apparent the first time she came by to meet our dog ~ which is always a good sign! Rachel also sent messages and photos with every visit which was very helpful. We will definitely ask Rachel for help again in the future!”

“I am so happy I picked Logan as my sitter. They not only made sure my dog was comfortable but they kept open communication of any changes in routine. I definitely recommend them for future sittings but also to folks that are looking for a sitter.”


About: I have been around animals for my entire life, mostly dogs! I have pet sit for neighbors and family friends since I was young, and have been working professionally with animals for about one year, feeding, training, coaching, and shanking animals in shelter, daycare, and boarding environments all ranging from pets ages newborn to elderly. I have the most experience with dogs, but I do have experience with cats and a love for both. I am a full time student, however, my classes are all online so I am available to work from any location at any time. I have open availability currently and can take care pets at any time! Although I live in a smaller apartment, my complex is gated and completely friendly to pets, and my unit is directly outside of a private dog park for residents only! Your pets will have plenty of toys and room to run around and have fun here. Should I be taking care of your pets at your own residence, it is another priority of mine to ensure your space is respected and kept clean, and I have experience as a professional kennel technician and cleaner to ensure any messes that occur from your pets will be handled efficiently.
“Maggie was wonderful with our cats and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She went above and beyond during the meet-and-greet, genuinely taking the time to get to know each of our cats and their unique needs. It was clear how much she cares, and we’re so grateful for the love and attention she gave them. We can’t wait to book with her again!”

“Steve did wonderfully with our two cats! So much so even the more reserved one of the pair made some appearances. I felt that all of our instructions were followed perfectly and it put our minds at ease during our trip with limited access to internet.”

“Lauren is wonderful! Truly loves dogs and seems to enjoy her time with them! She stopped in to visit with my two dogs, one of them a little shy/wary of strangers and Lauren was so patient with her. Lauren is very communicative and clear, and I'm excited to book her again!”

“Another successful weekend of thanks to Colby taking care of my fur babies! I am so grateful to have found such an attentive sitter for my pups. Another zero anxiety trip because I know how much they love her!”

“Kailey took great care of my pack. We had an emergency come up mid-trip and they were more than willing to adjust on the fly and add days which really saved us! We will absolutely use them again.”


“Manuela completely exceeded our expectations for our first time using Rover. She was so communicative, helpful, and observant. We will definitely be using her again. She was outstanding!!”

“Sara did an amazing job taking care of our kitties! This was our first time having someone watch them while we were away and Sara made us feel so at ease. Our cats loved her and we received daily pictures and updates. Thank you Sara!!!”


“Everything was good when we got home except that Ivy peed on the plastic that covered our couch while we were gone. The plastic that was long and laid on the floor. She's done that before. But Mikayla did a good job with her.”

“Yelena went above and beyond to take care of my senior blind dog while I was out of the country. I could really tell that she cared about my pup and and wanted her to be healthy and happy. I highly recommend Yelena!”

“I couldn’t ask for a better sitter than Mizuki. She goes above and beyond and is the sweetest person. She really loves animals ❤️. Highly recommend and I will be booking with her again if I ever need.”

About: I have been looking after dogs since I was a young girl, caring for two lovely husky pit bull mix breeds which were fluffy and adorable. When I got my first apartment, I owned a boxer named Roxy. I have also taken care of dogs and cats by house sitting, walking them, and administering their medications. I am quite energetic, being someone with ADHD! Rest assured, your furry friend will be well taken care of whether it's a walk or a visit with me. I am available to take your dog for a walk or look after your cat any day of the week. Selecting me ensures that your pet will be well cared for. In your household, I can provide assurance that your beloved pet will receive the necessary food, water, care, and affection, as well as be crated if desired.
Alvernon Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
Patty is amazing, the cat whisperer! My cat is very shy around new people, but she came out to greet Patty every visit. Patty is incredibly responsive and communicative, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. As a first-time Rover user, I couldn't be happier with the experience. I highly recommend Patty to anyone looking for a reliable, caring cat sitter. I will absolutely be booking with her again!

She was amazing! Pictures and notes every visit! She let me know everything going on, sent me pictures of not only my pup but of how the house looked, picked up after my clumsy dog and was on top of communication! I absolutely recommend Carmen and will use her again if I’m out of town!

Logan came to visit our kitten twice a day for the week and she absolutely loved him! He sent us updates and made us feel super comfortable! He was communicative, professional and she had the best time with him! Logan treated her with so much care, I couldn’t stress that enough! I’d happily recommend him - you can easily tell it’s his passion to be there for our fur babies.

Maggie took great care of our pups! She took them on walks which they loved and while she was doing that, she brought in mail/packages that arrived when she was there which was unexpected but so nice. We really appreciate her and know our pups will be happy to see her anytime

Michaela is a 10 out of 10 and I cannot recommend her enough, especially if you have dogs with big personalities or anxiety. I have two dogs, one is reactive and one is really nervous around new people, so finding someone I trust is not easy. Before we even started regular visits, Michaela was willing to do an extra visit just so my girls 🐶 could get comfortable with her. She did not have to do that, and it made such a huge difference. On top of that, she showed up in the rain, and my dogs absolutely hate the rain. She still got both of them outside to use the bathroom, kept them calm, and stayed the full visit. The report card she left was so detailed and thoughtful it genuinely made my day. She just really does whatever it takes to make them feel safe and comfortable and you can tell she actually cares. If your dogs need a little extra patience, she is your person. Book her!
