“I’m beyond impressed with the incredible service from Alivia — and yes, she does house sitting too, and she absolutely nailed it! From the moment we connected, I felt completely at ease leaving both my home and my beloved dog in her care. She were professional, warm, and communicative throughout the entire stay. I received regular updates, photos of my happy pup, and even a few check-ins about the house — which was spotless when I returned! My dog was clearly loved, exercised, and spoiled (in the best way), and my home was exactly as I left it — maybe even cleaner. Everything was handled with care and attention to detail. It’s such a relief to know there’s someone I can trust with both my home and my furry best friend. I’ll definitely be booking again and recommending her to everyone I know. Truly the best dog and house sitting experience ever!”

“Tabutha was wonderful with my animals and my home while I was gone. I came back to happy relaxed dogs and alpacas and a clean, tidy house. My foster dog has very high anxiety and she bonded with Tabutha in just a day or so. I will definitely ask Tabutha to house sit for me again.”

“Brad was terrific with our German Shepherd, Duke. They hit it off immediately and had alot of fun during our cruise. Brad sent us photographs and videos daily of Duke playing. Would recommend Brad to anyone looking for someone to look after their loved one. Will definitely be requesting him again for our future trips!!!”

“Alyssa stayed with my needy little poodle mix and also my son’s active golden retriever for a long weekend. Both dogs seemed happy and relaxed when we came on and the house was clean and tidy. I would totally have her come again!”

“Quessandra did an amazing job with Bella. I reached out to her super late at night and last minute and she came through in a pinch. She also sent lots of pics which eased my mind. I will be using her again and again to keep Bella company.”

“Brigitta was great! Super communicative and flexible when I needed to adjust the time for our meet and greet. My cat is diabetic and requires insulin injections twice a day so her experience with injectable meds made me feel very comfortable about leaving him in her care. She house-sat for me and I came home to house that was at least as clean as I left it and two pets that were well cared for and happy :) She’s now my first call when I need creature care!”

About: I have lots of experience with farm animals, as well as more exotic ones like large reptiles and snakes, to simple household pets! I’ve cared for animals that have special diets or need daily medication. My days are fairly flexible! I have three kids in school Monday through Friday, my husband is home weekends, so I’m up early and can work with your schedule. I take the safety of caring for your animal very seriously, all precautions will be handled as such. If you’ll need… -Leashing/Harness -Gates Locked -Kenneling -House Alarms set -Etc.
“Silas was magnificent with my dogs. They don't always take the strangers very well but Silas put them at ease very quickly. I was gone for a week and I was able to relax because I felt like they were in good hands.”

“Todd was great! I had him stay at my house with my cat, Tobias, while I was away for a few days and I loved getting the update photos. I'm not away from my cat for long periods of time so I know Tobias enjoyed having someone to hang out with. My cat will sometimes have stomach issues and Todd proved to be very caring and understanding when I would check in about it. My house looked the same way when I left it and would definitely book him again! Thank you again, Todd.”

“Cat did a fantastic job taking care of my dog! She kept my dog Elsa happy with playtime, walks, and generally in her routine. Cat also took great care of my home and treated everything with great respect. Cat communicated really well, so I was never concerned about what was happening while I was away.”


“Tara was really wonderful! When I first met her I could tell she really loves dogs and would take very good care of our pups while we’re were gone for an overnight trip. So happy I found her and I look forward to trusting her with our house and pups again in the future.”

“Ashlyn was very responsive and made herself available at the last minute to watch our dog and cat, plus a tortoise and 2 fish. In addition to caring for our sick dog, she also looked after our house, watered our plants and in general came to the rescue at the last minute for us.”

“Keri was a fantastic caretaker for my two dogs. She followed the care instructions, took them on a daily walk, and administered medication 2x daily. A highlight was all the photos she sent of my dogs happy, relaxed, and cared for. Keri also left our home in clean condition. I would definitely have her take care of the dogs again!”


About: I have taken care of numerous pets and animals since I was a kid, from dog sitting for family friends and neighbors to extended house stays. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Pets in my care get regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of supervision. I make sure they’re not left alone for long periods and can adjust my routine to fit your pet’s needs. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment where pets are always supervised. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, and any special care instructions. My home is pet-friendly, and I make sure all animals feel comfortable and secure. I’m attentive to behavior and health, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

“Lauren is the BEST! She stayed at my place and watched my dobie for a week while I was in Italy. She sent me photos of Priya every day, and took care of everything around the house that I asked. She was everything you could hope for in a pet sitter. I will definitely book her again when I travel.”

About: I bring a balance of genuine love and structured discipline to every pet I care for. Animals naturally feel comfortable around me because I approach them with calm energy, patience, and real empathy—but I also know how to establish boundaries so they feel safe and secure. I have over 4 years of hands-on experience training and caring for dogs, including my own two German Shepherd–Husky mixes and a French Bulldog, all of whom are well-trained, responsive, and reliable. I personally trained my dogs to listen consistently and stay close, not just for obedience, but to ensure their safety in any environment. That same level of attentiveness carries over into how I care for every dog I work with. I’m especially comfortable with: • High-energy and large breeds that require structure and confidence • Young, active dogs who need patience and consistency on walks • Dogs that may pull or need guidance, where I stay calm and in control Because I have very active dogs myself, I’m used to long walks, structured routines, and maintaining consistency, which helps dogs feel both stimulated and secure. At the same time, I’m just as attentive and gentle with dogs who need a slower pace or extra patience. Above all, I am punctual, reliable, and detail-oriented, and I treat every pet with the same level of care and protection as my own. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels safe, understood, and genuinely cared for while giving you full peace of mind. I’m excited to be of service and care for your pet like family. I work pretty flexibly and am available Monday through Saturday at anytime of the day, as long as I have a day’s worth of heads-up. I create a safe, structured, and loving environment for every pet while strictly following your routines and preferences. I’m very clean and organized. Your home will always be left exactly how I found it. In my own home, I maintain daily cleaning while allowing pets to feel comfortable and free. I respect all boundaries, whether that’s restricted areas, feeding schedules, or bathroom routines. Clear communication is important to me, so I make sure everything is done exactly as you prefer. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and your peace of mind always come first.
Home pet parents share their Rover experiences
Alivia did an amazing job with my two pups over the 4 day weekend. She even got kisses from my nervous foster pup, Josie. Both dogs were tired and happy when I got home. Alivia sent photos every day to show me what a good time they were having and how contented my alpacas were. I will definitely book with Alivia again.

Alivia was fantastic! She followed all our instructions perfectly and sent adorable daily photo updates. Our cats loved her so much we were honestly a little worried they’d prefer her over us by the time we got back! We can’t recommend her enough and would definitely book again.

Alivia watched our cat Olive once so far and we would love to have her back! She house sat for two nights and maintained excellent communication throughout the stay, sending us pictures of Olive to let us know she was doing well. Alivia did a great job of keeping her litter box clean and ensuring the house was as clean as it was when we left (it was honestly cleaner than before we left). We had total peace of mind while on our trip knowing that Olive was well cared for. Highly recommend hiring Alivia as your pet-sitter!
