If they have any medical restrictions, allergies, any regular medications they take on a regular basis. Personality of each pet is necessary in order to accommodate their needs.

A typical day

I will first get to know the pet and go from there but it can go from just having a chill walk around the neighborhood to going on a hike on a trail.

I take care of pets like my own

Pet care experience

I have been volunteering and working with animal shelters and animal rescues my entire life since my mom loved to do so. I have a good amount of knowledge with different types of pet personalities which includes dogs and cats. I feel confident in myself taking care of animals and over all pets because I take my time to get to know them, give them time to get comfortable around me and just giving them space is the best course of action when wanting to make them feel comfortable in a space. I have taken care of kittens/puppies (which include bottle feeding), adults and senior dogs/cats.

Alanis is an absolute gem of a house sitter, from the first time I met her I knew she would be my go-to pet sitter. She's incredibly caring to my big orange, crybaby, loaf of a cat, the pictures she sends me shows that he's perfectly comfortable being around her. I never have to worry about my cat when I book her, I know he'll have food, water, cuddles, and a clean litter box. I recently booked Alanis to watch my house for a whole month, and not one of my ~70 houseplants perished, she's amazingly detail-oriented and I cannot praise her enough!

Alanis watched our 3 dogs for 10 days while we were out of the country and we weren’t worried for a second. Our dogs love her. Thank you as always!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
