“This was my first time using Rover and Alycia was great with my pup. She responded quickly every time I reached out before and after booking and sent me updates and pictures while I was gone. I knew my pup was in very good hands which allowed me to enjoy my trip. I would 100% recommend Alycia and will be using her again for my next trip.”

About: Hi, my name is Bella and I would love to help care for your fur babies. I have 10+ years working with dogs and about three years working with cats. I have worked temporally at Williamsburg pet hotel, and have experience with feeding giving medication and walking. I have two cats who I adore so I am also open to cat sitting as well. I am very responsible and punctual. I look forward to working with you! I am looking for a full time job currently so I have a lot of free time and am at home regularly with my two cats. I also have a dog at my parents house that I dog sit regularly. I would prefer taking care of pets in a clients home. I feel if a pet is in their own environment they are more likely to feel comfortable!
“I can tell she cares for my dog the way I do when I’m not around! I am so thankful to have found someone that I can fully trust with my pup and with my home. When I leave my house I tell my dog “Virginia is going to come” and he gets so excited and looks out the window to wait for her. She deserves the best review, but I don’t want to share her! She truly is the best and we appreciate her so much!”
“Chris and Sam were great with our dogs and professional! They were super flexible when it was too hot for the dogs to walk and had excellent communication throughout. I loved getting a video of the dogs mid-walk. We will be booking them for more dog walks and housesitting in the future!”
“Sonja is wonderful. She is very accommodating. Bruno loves her and would cry when she leaves. I enjoy the photos that she takes of him with every walk. I wish I can use Sonja permanently.”
“Anna was so great with walking our dog, Cleo! She came over the day before to learn about Cleo’s routines & get a layout of the house and yard. Anna walked Cleo & played fetch with her in the yard. She also sent pictures :) we will definitely be using Anna in the future for our drop-in and walking needs!”
“Lucy is so energetic and loves Bodi. She takes control of him so he trusts her and obeys her. She truly enjoys animals and I am thrilled with her interactions with him.”
About: I have taken care of all kinds of animals since I was 14; Dogs, cats, horses, you name it! In recent years, I have pet sat (Dogs, cats, fish, guinea pigs, and even a bearded dragon!) for 5 different families with regularity, relying on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I took some time off to focus on my full-time job but now I am back to take care of your fur babies! I have experience with breeds of all shapes and sizes, and love to learn about each pets needs, quirks, and their favorite spot to be pet! I work as a patient care technician currently and my shifts are 12 hours long, 2 days a week. I am in nursing school, and I go to class Monday and Wednesday from 1pm to 4pm. If you need a quick walk or drop in visit in the early mornings, mid day, and early evening, I'm your gal! If you need a quick drop in while you are at work or running errands, I'm your gal as well! I do not mind late night drop ins or walks as well, I am pretty flexible for walks and drop ins throughout the day if I’m not working at the hospital. I love to walk parks and hike through trails, and your dog can come along for the ride anytime!! I am always very respectful of boundaries and client's homes. I will care for your pets just as you would, providing them with as much attention and love they desire! I am always respectful of your pets boundaries as well, and will never put them in a stressful situation. I currently live in an apartment that only allows cats, and I have one kitty cat named Booker. I am a nursing student and I study quite a bit. If your pet needs a person who can chill and keep them company, I can 100% provide that! If your pet needs someone to play and run around with, I can 100% provide that as well! If your pet has medical administration needs, I have experience with this as well. One family that I pet sat regularly for had a kitty who needed insulin via injection two times a day. I am always punctual with medicine times and I follow instructions very closely.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs my entire life, with 10 years of hands-on experience from fostering a wide variety of breeds, ages, and abilities. I’ve worked with everything from newborn puppies to senior dogs in hospice care. My expertise includes training blind and deaf dogs, as well as working with breeds that require specialized care and attention. I’m also experienced in behavior training, ensuring that each dog feels safe, loved, and well-cared for under my watch. I am a student with only online classes with Rover as my part time job. The flexibility of online classes gives me the ability to adapt my pet care schedule as necessary I put the pet first in all situations. In most situations I’ve had limited interactions with a pet before working with them for the first time. It’s most important to me that the pet and bond on their terms so the respect gained is mutual. If a pet doesn’t trust you, then they won’t be comfortable. So it’s important to me that I use a pet first approach in all aspects so the pet is most comfortable in every situation.
About: I’ve taken care of my own family dog since I was 10. Friends and family have also relied on me to feed, walk, and play with their pets while out of town! I’m currently home for the summer so I have plenty of time to look after your pet! I’m very flexible and open to most requests, I love spending time with animals so your furry friend will get plenty of love! I will follow any specific routines or instructions provided - such as feeding schedules and medications - while creating a comfortable environment. I always respect the client’s home and ensure pets feel secure and at ease in their surroundings.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have always helped my parents take care of them! I now have a black lab of my own :) I am available on weekends at any time! :) Please contact me if you need your pup let out, fed & watered, played with, or taken for a walk ☺️ I will not be providing the boarding service, but I would love to take your dog on walks or stop in to let him/her go potty!
About: Empathetic and caring for animals. My first pet was a fish. Since then I've had a gerbil, dog (bichon frise) and now have two cats (part maine coon). I have volunteered with child care and senior care facilities. Always enjoy spending time with and connecting with pets. Rarely meet a pet I have difficulty connecting with. I'm currently having more free time than normal. I usually do four 10hr shifts until 7pm, with Wed, Sat Sun off. Often engaged in other opportunities on the side but if you let me know ahead of time I will try to work into my schedule. I can bring toys, treats, food, litter or anything needed, but not currently boarding pets at my residence. I will do everything I can to make your pet(s) feel comfortable, clean up after myself and any pet(s), and keep you informed of anything out of the normal.
About: My boyfriend and I currently live in the best spot to walk your dog and host at our apartment here in Maplewood! My current job is fully remote which allows me to be able to dedicate to giving my full attention and effort to sign up for Rover. I love dogs so much and miss being around them all the time since I left my parent's house with our dog (golden in photos). I love animals and would love to help out with taking care of your dog! I love taking long walks around the neighborhood and will even take your dog to Forest park or tower grove park and I’d give your pet all of the attention in the world. Please feel free to let me know if you need any help! Update: as of August 2023, we now have an 8 year old Shihtzu that I took over for my grandparents. Murphy is hesitant at first but then warms up to the others and keeps to himself. Working from home gives me a log of flexibility and time to focus on taking care of your pet. I signed up for Rover because I know I can help out with taking care of your pet and not leave them alone for hours. I know it’s a lot to trust someone with your fur child but I ensure you that their safety and happiness is my top priority.
