“Alyssa provided excellent service and communication during our booking. She was flexible when needed and accommodating as well. We will definitely look to rebook the next time we go out of town.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over seven years, including my own and several others for friends and family. Throughout this time, I’ve gained experience with a wide range of breeds, ages, and personalities. My expertise includes dog handling during walks and boarding, managing interactions with both people and other dogs, training, navigating dog parks, administering medication, grooming, transporting, and much more. As a Rover user myself, I know how important it is to find a caregiver who treats your dog with love and respect. I hold this same standard for my own care, and I guarantee your furry friend will receive the utmost attention and care while in my hands. I work remotely, which gives me flexibility throughout the week—Monday to Friday—and I’m typically available on most weekends as well to accommodate your dog’s needs. I always prefer to meet both the animals and their owners beforehand to ensure we’re all comfortable with the services provided. For everyone’s peace of mind, I focus on walking one dog at a time, allowing me to give them my full attention and care.
“Rachel took such great care of my cats. Each has there own “needs” and she loved on both of them. Rachel communicated with me every day and I felt completely at ease with her watching Einstein and Lilly. It was my first booking on Rover and I’m thrilled with her service and care. She even left a personalized drawing of the 2 cats and a welcome home note 🤗”
“Megan really went above and beyond for us! She was able to drop in on our cat with very short notice, and she did a phenomenal job. She managed to bond with our very shy cat quickly and provide her some comfort while we were away. Not only was she great with our cat, but she was detail-oriented, punctual, and communicative. Next time we are out of town and need a pet sitter, Megan will be my first choice, and she should be yours, too.”
“Claudia has checked in on our cat many times since over the past year or so and our cat loves her! She is easy to communicate with and gives detailed updates on kitty during her check-ins. Thank you Claudia! :)”
“Cassie is the best! Neo is always happy to see her and we feel very confident going away and knowing he’s in her care. She’s always on time for visits and Neo isn’t stresssed when we return. Thank you, Cassie!”

“10/10, highly recommend!! Erika was so accommodating and quick to respond to all of my questions and concerns. She was very professional and trustworthy, and I’m so happy I hired her to check on my kitty while I was away. I ended up messaging her with several last minute changes, and she was so kind and able to work with my hectic schedule. Thank you so much, Erika!”

About: I've helped care for my previous roommate's 60 lb dog for 6 years while living together. This included letting him outside, taking him on walks, feeding him, and giving him medication when needed. I've also watched and cared for several other friends' dogs and cats while they were away. I'm a school counselor and have a school schedule, so I'm available from 4:00/4:15 PM or so on during the week. My weekends are generally more flexible. Happy to chat more about it! I will respect and oblige by any rules or boundaries set forth for your pets and within your home. Happy to accommodate and meet you where you're at!
“Megan was great at taking care of my two cats! They are usually pretty nervous and shy around strangers, but she was able to get one to come out and have some treats. She went above and beyond what I expected and gave me greats pictures and summaries from each visit! I will definitely be booking again.”
