Allison was absolutely exceptional with my girls, Bella and Izzy while we went on vacation. She went above and beyond every single day, showering both pups with so much love and care. My ball-obsessed Lab had the best time when Allison played ball with her (even in the snow)—she really embraced her endless energy and made sure she got all the play she craves. Izzy got her special walks too! She did all the little extras, sent tons of adorable photos and updates so I never worried once while on our trip. I could tell from every message that both Bella and Izzy were getting the best possible care. Allison is incredibly reliable, thoughtful, and clearly passionate about what she does. I felt completely at peace having her help with my dogs and I can’t wait to book with her again soon. Highly recommend Allison to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving sitter—she’s a true gem!

About: I have two years of experience pet sitting small, medium and large dogs pet sitting experience with cats. During my visits, I have walked, fed, had playtime with, and have fed any medications or vitamins the owner has requested I give their pet to them. In my daily and weekly routine, I would be available for visits/walks during: Monday/Wednesday/Fri: 6-10am and/or 1-8pm Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday: available at any time Sunday: 3-8pm These times do differ for overnight stays! When caring for pets in my clients home, I always make sure to follow any instructions or specific requests the client has left for me. I also make sure the client has informed me of certain behaviors of their pet and has told me about the pets personality to ensure I watch them in a way that makes them the most comfortable to ensure a safe and fun visit!

Stephanie was so helpful and kind with our two dogs! This was a first time using Rover and Stephanie exceeded all needs and eased our worry. With a senior dog who needs extra care and a younger dog who has much more energy, she was able to accommodate both of our boys to keep them happy and safe!

About: Animal lover who understands that pets are family. Ive always had animals in my home and have experience caring for my own and friends/family fur babies when they are away. I will provide a safe and loving environment where your pet will be comfortable and cared for like they are part of the family. I've cared for animals in every stage of life. I have extensive experience with cats including bottle-feeding orphaned kittens, caring for senior cats, and supporting pets with age related needs. I also have experience with puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, and I understand that each pet requires individualized care, patience, and attention. Open to hosting dogs in home and drop-ins for your kitties while you are away! I work from home full-time, allowing me to provide frequent supervision and attention throughout the day. Work is flexible allowing for lots of time love and activities. I have a large, fully fenced backyard for supervised outdoor play with my dog. When not outdoors our house guest will primarily stay with me in my home office as my co-worker and side kick. With lots of breaks for tummy rubs and head scritches of course!

About: My family has had dogs and cats since I was little and they currently have three dogs at home. Unfortunately I moved so I don’t get that animal love that I want and I don’t have a pet of my own here. I would love to take care of your animal(s) and treat it like it’s my own! I work right down the street from my apartment and will be home for lunch every day. My hours are 8-2 so your animal would not go longer than 4 hours alone each day. I live in an apartment, but it has a dog park that I have taken many dogs I’ve sat for to! I also live close to a walking trail and it’s perfect!

About: I grew up with dogs and all of my kids have dogs, so not only am I a grandpa, I was a dog grandpa first! I also sit and love cats. They always find me. Had four dogs in my house for many times watching when my kids traveled, but now they moved so I have more time to get my fur feed. I take walks and would love to walk your pups but also can follow your guidelines doing the best to keep their routine. I work from home but occasionally have appointments outside of the home, so I am very available to work with your schedule. I will share my schedule with you when booking. I have a fenced yard and a great neighborhood for walking. Friendly home environment with access to fresh food/water and sunshine. Your dog/cat will be well-loved.

I really appreciate Hannah! I needed to hire someone last minute for my 5 furbabies, and she was more than willing. I asked if she wouldn't mind if I reached out for additional days toward the end of my trip away, and though I ended up not needing to do so, she was willing to do that as well. Additionally, my senior rottweiler mix likes to "give attitude," which can be scary if you aren't familiar with it, and Hannah handled that beautifully. She was communicative when it happened, which allowed me to message her to share what to do about it (which was to let the dog throw her fit and leave her be). I'd hire her again in a heartbeat, and probably will when I take trips in the future!
