“I am very happy with Rose & Easter loves her! I feel so confident leaving him with Rose; it takes all the worry out of leaving him. She is extraordinarily diligent & goes above & beyond in her care for my cat. She leaves the house spotless even washing towels & sheets & making up my bed so I don’t have to do it upon my return. I will use her services again & will gladly recommend her to others.”


“Breanna was lovely! Very serious about what our dog needed, was accustomed to, etc., while having very good communication and boundaries about how much contact we wanted from her during the scheduled time. We will definitely hire her again!”


“Erin house-sat for us when we needed a cat sitter for four days on short notice. She was amazing! Her connection to the kitties and thoughtful, conscientious approach to the care of our beloved companions set my mind at ease. It was clear from our first conversation that she was trustworthy and dependable, which was reassuring since we've never had a house-sitter. We have a senior cat who requires twice-daily medication and Erin handled all his special needs. She communicated clearly, left the house in excellent condition, and is also just a wonderful person all around!”


“We couldn’t be more thrilled with the care our dog Tazo received from Amruta. From the moment she arrived, it was clear that she had an amazing connection with Tazo. She was so attentive, playful, and loving towards him, making sure he feeling loved. We loved getting regular updates and pictures of Tazo, which gave us peace of mind throughout the day alleviating our own anxiety. One of the best moments was when we saw Tazo follow her out to her car, clearly wanting to go with her! It’s not every day that your dog forms such a strong bond with their sitter, and we’re so grateful for the time and care she gave him. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving for their pets!”


About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and breeds, from playful puppies to sweet seniors. As a collegiate athlete, I’ve built strong habits in time management, responsibility, and discipline which are all skills I bring to pet care. I’m a lifelong dog person and know that earning a dog’s trust takes patience, consistency, and a lot of love. I understand that every dog is different, from their personality to their diet, and I’m happy to make sure each one has a full belly and feels completely at ease. I also have experience with “bully” breeds and a special place in my heart for them. I know how incredible they can be when given the care and respect they deserve. Most importantly, I want every owner to feel at ease knowing their dog is safe, loved, and well cared for while they’re away. As a college athlete, my schedule can fluctuate, but I am local so I'm able to work with you and your family on what works best! While in college, I have many extended breaks from school, around the same time many families go on vacation, so a lot of my free time will be able to be devoted to your pet! I have two dogs and a cat of my own at home, unfortunately one of my pups isn't too happy with making friends with others, so all pet-sitting would be based in your pets home. However, this can be great as it doesn't cause any more increased stress for your pet while you're away. Whether visiting or staying at your home, I will do my best to leave your space better than you left it! If not staying over, I am open to making frequent stops in to check up on your pets and making sure they are feeling loved and comfortable while their favorite humans are away. I always have my phone on me and I am able to send updates about your pets, along with photos of them throughout my time with them!

“I recommend James highly. James took phenomenal care of our 2 dogs (1 who is blind) and shy cat. James regularly kept in touch, followed our directions well, and left our home very tidy. James is excellent!”


About: For the past 10 years, I've been lucky enough to have an amazing dog in my life. I've watched him grow from the tiniest puppy into a grouchy yet snuggly old man. Keeping him safe, satisfied, and healthy have been priorities whether that meant walking in the rain or making him a hot meal. He is without a doubt one of the most important parts of my life. I understand what it is to place your trust and your pet in someone else’s hands. As a sitter/walker, I would treat your dog as one of my own. I’ve worked with seniors and puppies, walked, played, and trained with them. All animals come with a story; whatever health, safety, and behavioral information you share would be respected and observed. I look forward to meeting you and making sure that your furry loved one gets the attention and services they deserve! As someone who works primarily from home, I have the flexibility to prioritize my dog’s care throughout the day. He gets a minimum of a 1.5-mile walk every single day, rain or shine, and always enjoys a hot meal made with a special mix of healthy, human-grade ingredients added to his kibble—because I believe that quality food equals a happier, healthier pup. I also make sure he has a yard break every 2-3 hours, along with two medium to long walks daily to keep him active and engaged. My routine is built around making sure my dog’s needs are met consistently, and I approach all my pet care with the same level of attention and dedication. Whether it's a regular walk, a healthy meal, or a quick yard break, I ensure that my pets are always well taken care of, just like I would treat your own furry friend! When it comes to dog walking, safety and trust are my top priorities. I’ve learned to anticipate potential issues, whether it’s a skateboarder coming around a corner or a squirrel teasing from the street, ensuring that any situation is handled before it becomes a problem. By understanding an animal’s triggers, I can make every walk a positive, stimulating experience while maintaining control of the leash at all times. For home sitting, whether it’s a dog or cat, I take care to respect the space—both for the animal and the owner’s peace of mind. I always follow the house rules and make sure any specific needs or routines for your pet are respected. Trust is key, and I’m committed to providing a safe, comfortable environment for both you and your furry family member.

“We were so happy to find Aliza on the Rover app. We have a new rescue dog, Cobalt, and we were concerned about leaving him for the first time, while we went on a week long cruise that we booked last year. Aliza took great care of Cobalt and sent us frequent photos and updates to let us know how well he was doing. We will certainly hire Aliza again when we need a dog sitter.”


“Logan was wonderful!! She took excellent care of my pup. She was kind, efficient, intelligent and showed her true passion for dogs.. Logan answered my texts in a very timely fashion.
