Pet care experience

I have experience with a wide variety of dogs, but especially with specials needs, senior, and small and large dogs. My old fur-baby, Jack, was special needs (born with scoliosis) and I did the majority of care for him. He lived to be 17 and a half.

Alisha did an outstanding job watching our pups over the weekend. We have a unique situation with one our Huskies being blind and she handled the special requirements like a pro! Will definitely book her again!

We absolutely loved having Alisha care for Emma in our home. Emma definitely warmed up pretty quickly to her during the meet and greet, which is not something we see a lot for an anxious baby like Emma. Alisha responded promptly, kept us updated throughout her stay, and gave Emma so much love. She also did great with giving the medications and because she works from home, Emma had a lot of chances to really hang out with Alisha. She also helped with handing the shift over to our next Rover sitter, so we greatly appreciate that. Will definitely keep coming back to Alisha!

Alisha is AMAZING. I’ve had her as my dogs sitter for almost a year now! I haven’t looked any other sitter since her. My dogs adore her and pull me to her door every time!

Alisha is AWESOME! She agreed to do a check in even though it was kinda last minute and took my pup for a walk and cleaned up his area! Highly recommend :)

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.
