About: Hi! I’m a 19-year old college student, currently on summer break looking for a way to make extra cash! I’ve always had atleast 2 dogs my whole life and have all the experience! I love all the dogs and cats from small to extra large and shy to extroverted. I’ve taken care of puppies, kittens, elderly dogs and cats, lizards, hamsters, etc. I do work during the weekdays 8-4 but am available before and after to help care of your pets! I look forward to meeting new furry friends :) I currently work a 8-4 job during the weekdays but am available before or after work to stop by or stay over if needed. I’m also available basically all day on the weekends. I have a sizable yard which is fenced in and I always keep a close eye on my dogs. I take care of them appropriately and never fail to give them love.
“Alexandra was awesome with my cats! Even my scaredy-cat warmed up to her by the end of their time together. It was the first time in a looooong time I'd been away from the kitties, so the pictures Alexandra sent were much appreciated and made me feel OK about being away. Will definitely use her again in the future!”
“I have very needy cats and am always worried about them when I go away for too long. Laura made it so I didn't worry one bit! Even got my shy cat to eat, that's a feat in itself! I would definitely recommend her and use her services again!”
“Arrived home to a very happy cat thanks to Fallon! I appreciated that she was able to come by ahead of time for a meet and greet and loved all the photos of my cat from her visit.”
“This was my first time using rover and I was very nervous leaving my Chloe with a stranger but Lorena was a fabulous sitter. She communicated with me and asked questions to learn more about Chloe’s personality. I would definitely use her again.”
“Lauren did an amazing job looking after our senior kitty while we were away. She always kept us updated, was quick to respond to messages, and sent lots of cute photos every visit. She was very accommodating throughout the entire process and our minds were at ease knowing our cat was in good hands. I would definitely recommend her!”
