Mia was so great! Our cats loved her and were always so excited to see her while we were away. We were celebrating the life of my mother so it gave us comfort to know our pets were in great care since all of us were gone at the same time. Mia was excellent with communication and updates and the photos she captured and sent were adorable! We’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for genuine pet care

Sara did a great job with our boys! They’re hiders and very shy, but she got them fed, watered, scooped, and gave them her time and attention. What more can we ask for? Will definitely rebook in future. Thank you Sara!

About: I’ve been around dogs most of my life, having grown up with family dogs from age 13 through college. Since then, I’ve continued caring for pets by helping with my mother’s and sister’s dogs whenever needed. I also regularly care for my girlfriend’s cat and recently completed a week-long in-home cat sitting stay. I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats and enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, sticking to their routines, and making sure they feel safe and well cared for while their owners are away. I provide regular photo and message updates so you have peace of mind while you’re away I work full-time during the weekdays and am in the office on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM. I am available for house sitting, walks, and drop-in visits any day of the week. For house sitting, I can be present in the mornings, evenings, and overnight, and I ensure pets are cared for before and after my work hours. For walks and drop-ins, I am available evenings, and weekends, and can accommodate consistent routines. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, consistency, and respect for both the pet and the home. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk routines, medications, and any specific household rules. I make sure pets feel comfortable by keeping their routine as normal as possible and giving them attention based on their personality and needs. I also keep the home clean and organized and treat it with the same respect I would my own. For peace of mind, I stay communicative and provide regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for several years and I know how personal it is to trust someone with your best friend(s) and your home. My goal is to make the experience feel calm, safe, and stress free for both you and them. I’m especially comfortable with overnight house sitting, multi-pet households, senior pets, oral medication, separated feeding or space routines, and pets who may need a little extra patience at first. I understand that every animal has their own personality, comfort level, and routine, so I try to follow your instructions as closely as possible. While you’re away, I’ll keep you updated with daily clear check-ins and photos so you never have to wonder how your furry family members are doing. I’ll also be honest if anything seems unusual, because I’d rather communicate early than leave you feeling unsure. I’ll also treat your home with respect! I keep things clean, follow the boundaries you set, and do my best to leave your space just as nice (or nicer!) than I found it. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m used to planning around animals’ needs and keeping care consistent. For overnight house sitting, my weekday availability is typically Monday through Friday from 5:30 PM to 7:00 AM. That includes evening care, dinner, potty breaks or walks, medication, bedtime routines, overnight care, and morning care before I leave. On Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, I generally have more flexibility and can provide care throughout the day. For drop-in visits, my weekday availability is usually evenings, with more flexibility on weekends and holidays. **For July 4, 2026 Holiday Weekend** I’m available for holiday drop ins for dogs and cats who may be more sensitive to fireworks, storms, or changes in routine. I’m always mindful, responsive, and attentive, and during busy holidays I know that steady care and clear updates can make a big difference for pet parents! I’ll always be upfront about my schedule before confirming a booking so we can make sure your pet’s routine and care needs are a good fit! When I’m caring for pets in your home, I follow the routine, rules, and boundaries you set. I want your dog/cat to feel safe in their normal environment, so I do my best to keep things consistent with their usual schedule, comfort needs, and household expectations. I’m very respectful of your home. I follow home access instructions carefully, keep pet areas tidy, and treat your space with the same care I would want someone to show mine. I’m also happy to discuss reasonable home care tasks like bringing in mail, watering plants, and keeping pet areas clean. Before confirming a new booking, I prefer a meet & greet so we can go over your pet’s routine, personality, home access, emergency contacts, and anything else that would help you feel comfortable while you’re away.

About: What sets me apart is a lifetime of hands-on experience with a wide range of animals-from tiny hamsters to senior rescue dogs. I've volunteered at shelters, cared for all kinds of pets since I was five, and currently dote on my 16-year-old mixed-breed pup. I understand how hard it is to trust someone with your furry family, so I make it my mission to treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attentiveness I give my own. Big or small, shy or spunky-every pet is family to me. I’m currently available for weekend bookings only and offer care in your home to keep your pet comfortable in their own space. I’m unable to host pets at my place due to my senior dogs needs, but I’m more than happy to come to you and provide loving, dependable care whenever your pet feels more at ease. Your pets safety and your homes privacy are my top priorities. I respect every space I enter and care for your pet with the same caution I give my own. I understand how personal it is to welcome someone into your home, I take that responsibility very seriously, always reliable, transparent, and treat pets and people with kindness.

About: I currently work at a dog daycare where I help care for dogs of different sizes and personalities throughout the day. My responsibilities include feeding, supervising playtime, cleaning, and making sure each dog is safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I also have experience volunteering with dog adoptions and assisting at an animal hospital, where I was able to learn more about handling and caring for animals in a medical and shelter environment. I’ve been around animals my whole life, especially my own dog, which has helped me understand how to be patient, gentle, and attentive to their needs. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine because I already work with dogs regularly at a daycare. I’m used to early mornings, consistent routines, and staying flexible with different schedules. I also have time in the afternoons, evenings, and some weekends to dedicate fully to pet care, walks, and check-ins. I always prioritize safety, trust, and comfort when caring for pets. I closely follow each pet’s routine and any instructions provided by the owner. In my home or the client’s home, I make sure the environment is clean, calm, and secure. I supervise pets at all times, give them lots of attention, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m patient and gentle, and I treat every pet like they’re my own.

I needed a cat sitter on short notice and found Alice. I never used Rover before so it was a bit daunting to ask someone I never met to take care of our cat Pinky. However I sensed I could trust Alice 100% from the moment I spoke to her. She is very friendly, helpful and professional. She owns cats herself so she knew exactly what was needed. She provided picture and detailed updates while we were away. Pinky absolutely adored Alice and I didn’t worry about Pinky while I was away. I knew she was in great hands. I highly recommend Alice and would definitely book her again!

Our dog is a little timid when it comes to new people but she adjusted to Amanda IMMEDIATELY! 10/10 definitely booking again

About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets, including small animals, cats, and dogs. My pet care journey began with a guinea pig, followed by my rabbit in 2016, which taught me responsibility, routine care, and attentiveness to small animals. In 2020, I rescued and have continued caring for my cat, gaining extensive experience with daily feeding, litter maintenance, health monitoring, and understanding feline behavior. After the loss of my rabbit in December 2020, I began fostering another cat for several months, further strengthening my ability to adapt to new pets, personalities, and routines. I’ve also pet sat my neighbor’s dog, handling feeding, walks, and basic care. Through these experiences, I’ve learned to be patient, dependable, and attentive to each animal’s unique needs. I genuinely enjoy caring for pets and always treat them with the same love and responsibility as my own. I am a first year college student currently on break for the next three weeks. I see myself being available all the time more the next month. And after that simply anytime I am home I would like for this to be an opportunity for me. I do have one cat myself who isn’t too friendly to other animals which is my I have opted out of services that would require pet care at my home.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life! Cats, dogs, birds, you name it. Currently a dog mom of a husky puppy, I’m able to roll with the flow with your dog too! Happy to do home visits, dog walks, or nights at where your doggo or cat is. A part time summer nurse at a day camp! So have lots of hours for your pet every day. Used to a dog needed a break every 4 hours, so trust I can be there every 3-4 hours if needed. I work with my partner in order to care for my pets at home as I’m primarily home for the summer. He’s able to take the afternoons and evenings. But that means that I have time for your pets during the day and during the evenings. Lucky to be flexible.

Monika was absolutely fantastic! She stepped in on short notice to watch my female German Shepherd for three days, doing drop-in visits in our home, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. My dog clearly had an amazing time - she loved her walks and came back happy and relaxed. Monika kept me at ease the entire time by sending regular photos and status updates, which I really appreciated. I felt completely comfortable knowing my baby was in such caring and trustworthy hands. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive sitter!
