About: Hi there! My name is Katherine, and I'm a passionate and experienced pet lover who would love to take care of your furry friends. I've been surrounded by animals my whole life, and I believe that every pet deserves love, attention, and a safe environment. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, or just a cozy cuddle session, I’m here to make sure your pet feels right at home.

About: What sets me apart. I would say I love animals more than I love humans and I would also say that I have had actually had senior dogs and multiple ages of dogs before until they have passed away. But I love and treat a dog like they are my child cause they are. A pet care fits in my routine by me making time it would probably be after or before I go to my primary job if I am being honest. I would care for your pet like I would care for my pet. I have an open half fenced in yard. They would have to be on a leash yard tie out, and I would provide water.

I will do my best to show your pet love and friendliness. 4 repeat pet parents 100% response rate Usually responds in a few minutes 100% bookings with photo updates I'm a retired US Marine.

About: I'm Amanda, 27, a yoga instructor and a full time animal lover! Growing up, my sister and I used to save strays and find them better homes, sometimes we were lucky enough to convince our parents to keep them. I’ve always had dogs and cats growing up because our family is full of nurturing individuals. I have babysat and taken care of relatives and friends animals throughout the years and know that each animal needs a different type of care considering each one has a special characteristics that define them. I make sure they use the bathroom or are taken out every two-three hours. Walks are a must, knowing animals have a lot of energy that needs to be released. I have a mini Australian Shepherd, Ezra who is a 3 years old, and love other animals and cats. Speaking of cats, I have my 6 year old cat Veda as well. I currently work part time, so I will have a ton of time to play with the pups and/or cats. I have three dogs of my own that it’s a habit by now! I have a yard (fenced) and one other fur baby to keep them company! Fed twice a day and let out four times a day with surrounding nature for some hikes and walks to get the energy out!

Mimi was a lifesaver for us! We had an event we wanted to attend in town and Rover and Mimi came to the rescue! I appreciate her patience (as I was nervous leaving my dogs in an unfamiliar place) and attention to detail. My dogs got a walk, treats and Mimi gave them a safe haven for an afternoon. Ty!!!
This was our first time using Rover and it couldn’t have gone better with Alyssa! She was so loving with our dogs while we were away on vacation. It was great to have a peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. Alyssa sent multiple pics through out the day and her communication was on point. We also came home to a clean and cozy house, which was great after traveling all day. We will definitely use Alyssa again in the future
