“Alyssa was so professional and wonderful taking care of our cat while we were away for the week! We were able to relax knowing that Cleo was in such capable hands! Thanks Alyssa!!”
“Katie was everything we could ask for our 2 cats. I’m very particular with my instructions as they can be difficult and she made sure to follow everything to the T. I loved that she provided detailed feedback and pictures every time. Will definitely work with her in the future!”
“Victoria was excellent to our cats. She gave them all the time and attention they needed while we were gone and despite them not generally being warm to strangers she got one of cats to pet her which is huge for a stranger to come in and do.”
“Nicole did a great job checking in and feeding our cats. She provided us with pictures and daily updates. I would highly recommend her. Thank you Nicole for taking care of our cats.”
“Cecily was very helpful when I was out of town. She took great care of my cats, sent me photos and kept me updated. I would definitely recommend her services and plan to book with her again in the future.”
“Gianna was a super cat-sitter! She was timely and responsive to texts and really seemed to connect well with our kitten, Bubba. Gianna did everything that we asked of her (food, water, litter box, playing toys, sending a picture during her visit) and even left us some things for Bubba and a sweet note for us when we got home. If I could give her more than five stars I would. I hope to ask her back again the next time we need someone to stop in for him! Gianna was a real find!!!”
About: Although I’m new to Rover, I bring years of personal experience and a lifelong passion for animal care. I’ve grown up with animals and have hands-on experience with pets of all ages and personalities from playful puppies and senior dogs to cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, hamsters, and more. As a proud dog mom to a husky and a shepherd mix, I’ve learned that patience (and a sense of humor!) goes a long way. I have a solid understanding of basic training and commands, and I’m passionate about creating a calm, loving space where every pet feels safe and cared for. Currently my schedule is open and flexible to helping your furry friends whether it’s just for a walk and extra play time or an extended visit. Feel free to message me to set up a meet and greet! Whether you have a playful pup who needs regular exercise or a cuddly cat who craves companionship, I'm here to provide reliable and loving care for your pets in the comfort of their own home.

“Yara was fantastic with our three cats! My husband and I felt so reassured knowing she was watching them while we were away. I would recommend Yara to anyone looking for a pet sitter! Thank you, Yara!”
About: I have given care for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I am comfortable with all personality types, and sizes. I also have experience with cats, as an owner and sitter. Although I am a full time student and full time worker, I always make time for the pets in my life. I work full time but remotely, so I am able to take on pet care from anywhere. I have weekends and holidays off, which allows for more play time! I have my own dog who is hooked up and supervised when outside. I also have a pet first aid book and carry supplies on me.
About: I’m passionate about giving every pet the love, attention, and care they deserve. With experience working directly with animals in shelters, veterinary clinics, and my own personal fur babies. I truly understand how to meet each pet’s unique needs. from energetic playtimes to a calm cuddle sesh! I treat every furry babe like they’re part of my family, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! Whether it’s walks, feeding, health care needs, or just snuggles on the couch, I go the extra mile to ensure tails are wagging and purrs are flowing!🎶 Your pet’s happiness is my top priority, and I can’t wait to befriend them! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. From my own to my background, I dedicate time each day to walks, play, feeding, and affection, making sure every animal in my care feels loved and secure. During the week, at the moment, I have full availability. Mon-sun! 8am-9pm! I make it my mission to stay consistent with schedules, providing exercise, mental stimulation, and plenty of cuddles no matter the time or day it may be! I am here for you! In my home, pets enjoy a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of playtime, walks, and snuggles. I make sure they have fresh water, nutritious meals, and lots of attention so they feel happy and secure. In a client’s home, I follow your pet’s routine closely, keeping familiar feeding times, walks, and comfort items consistent to reduce stress. I treat every pet like family, giving them the care, love, and companionship they need whether we’re at home or on the go!
