14. Alyssa F.
“Alyssa is a fantastic pet sitter! This was my first time using Rover, and I was really nervous about having someone I didn’t know look after my cats, especially since my one cat needs pain meds on a consistent schedule every 12 hours. Alyssa was super reassuring in our messaging and we did a meet & greet ahead of time which helped ease my anxiety and made me feel confident leaving my kitties in her care. She was punctual/reliable, able to give my boy his meds with no issue, and the daily updates she provided gave me such peace of mind and they were also super cute with her descriptions and emojis lol. They honestly were the highlight of my day along with the photos and videos of my babies 🐈🐈⬛. I’m really happy I found Alyssa and know my kitties are just as grateful. I will definitely hire her as a sitter again and would recommend her services!”

My kitties were so content when I got home and the house looks awesome. Kasia’s visits gave me so much peace of mind, I appreciate the extra care she put into the kitties and the house. I will definitely be reaching out to Kasia again next time I go away!”
