Alicia was wonderful! She took great care of our home and sweet boy, Remy. She did an outstanding job caring for our dog. He was happy upon our return & you could tell he was well loved while we were away. We will certainly be calling Alicia for any future needs caring for our dog & home.

Alicia was able to help us out with a last minute request to watch our cat while we were away. She was very kind, flexible, and reliable!

Alicia is the first cat sitter I’ve truly felt comfortable with in the Rochester area. From our first meeting, it was clear she genuinely loves animals and understands the needs of both pets/owners when on vacation. She took time to learn our cat’s routine and personality, which gave us instant peace of mind. While we were away, she sent daily updates with photos, showing our usually shy cat relaxed and happy. Our home was also left spotless, and our cat was calm when we returned. She’s incredibly reliable and communicative which has been an issue with other sitters in the area. We’ll absolutely book her again and highly recommend her.

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.
