My first time with a house sitter, and Sarah knocked it out of the park! It set my mind at ease knowing my senior cat with heart disease was in such good hands!

We have used Jessica to house sit with our dog the last few times we were out of town. This time our flights were delayed an entire day and she was able to help us and stay another night to make sure our dog was cared for. Highly recommend her services!

Amber was able to watch my two dogs at my home with very short notice. She was very responsive, kind, and easy to work with. I came home to two happy pups after a weekend away and will definitely be using her again in the future.

Elizabeth did an excellent job with our 2 big dogs, for a 2-day out of town trip (on rather short notice). She kept us updated with videos, walked both of them and now has 2 new furry friends.

Leaving your animal family at home while you're away can be a very stressful time for us pet parents. I used to get incredibly anxious knowing I would need someone else to care for my animals, when I would RATHER be happy and excited for an upcoming trip or vacation! If this sounds like you, ALISHA is your solution. Alisha was put on this earth to care for animals. She has taken the best care of our dogs, turtle, birds, lizard, and fish while we've been away allowing my husband and I to actually enjoy ourselves. She follows all instructions and consistantly goes above and beyond. She sends you so many pictures and updates you wont even need to check your camaras (if you have them).You will love her! We do:)

10 years of experience

About: I’ve always wanted pets since I was a kid. When I was 10 I got my first dog, a Saint Bernard named Barry. I’ve been nuts about dogs ever since. That grew into a love for all animals, and I have owned horses, cats and dogs over the last 20 years. 10 years ago I accepted a job at an equestrian facility. That opened the door to my first ever pet sit and since then I’ve worked all over the area. I took a break for awhile, due to my schedule becoming to full with other commitments, now I’m back ready to accept some new clients. Obviously our pets are a huge part of our lives. I do not take that responsibility lightly. When I come into a home I bring my heart and passion to the job to make sure the animals under my care feel comfortable, safe and as smoothly adjusted as they can be to someone new in their environment. I have worked with pretty much every dog you can think of. Rescues with timid personalities, small pups, giant breeds. And hard work does not put me off, I most recently spent two weeks rehabbing a German Shepard who had broken her leg. This is not a normal situation but I mention because this happened two days prior to this client leaving. There was very little time to plan and adapting on the fly was necessary. And that’s what I can do, provide a solid plan of care but also think on my feet if the situation arises. I look forward to the conversations to be had here and the new pets that I will meet. I recently switch careers which has boosted my flexibility in providing my overnight pet sitting services which is why I’ve reactivated my Rover services. I specialize in sits that last a week to two, with former experience from the last 10 years I’ve learned how to treat my clients pets as my own and tailor my schedule to their needs. I don’t have a home setup for boarding at this time so I only do sits in your home but I do provide my own supplies and clean before I leave.

Sierra was amazing! We came to her in a rushed panic when our original dog sitter had backed out 12 hours before we were going away for a week. Sierra was super accommodating and picked up our dog and dropped her back off so when we arrived at home, our dog would be waiting for us. She sent us photos and recaps every day! Our dog Netty had a smile in every photo lol! We will DEFINITELY use her again!!
