“Alysha was amazing with Sadie! Sadie usually is a little uneasy with new caregivers and won’t eat her food or is a little shy. Sadie was very comfortable with Alysha and never missed a meal. Alysha sent great updates with every visit, so we could see pics of Sadie and know how she was doing. We would recommend using Alysha’s services, and will be having her care for Sadie more in the future!”

“Nejra was very responsive to my messages. She kept me well informed on how my cat was doing while I was away and the daily photos gave me piece of mind that she was doing well while I was away. I'd definitely book her services again.”

“Jaron was so good to work with - he sent a picture of our cat everyday & we actually ran out of dry cat food & he picked up a bag for us 😊 We highly recommend using Jaron for your pets - very reliable!”

About: I've had dogs since the day I was born, and responsibly started taking care of them since I was around 10 years old. I've taken care of dogs from 8 weeks old to 16 years. I had cats growing up and currently have a cat, Ginger, who I have had for the last 9 years. As an adult, I've had 2 dogs and have cared for them in their crazy puppyhood to more gentle yet demanding senior care. As your dog sitter, I can provide enrichment via walks, playing, and basic tricks and skills you want me to work on with your dog. I can feed and refresh water bowls. I can help with medication if needed. As your cat sitter, I can feed and refresh water bowls/fountains, and provide enrichment such as playing with your cat or walks (in a stroller or harness if trained). I also have one year of experience with freshwater fish. I am happy to care for any of your pets' needs during a visit. I treat my all of my pets like children and I am so excited to start caring for yours! I am a teacher currently on summer vacation. I am free to work during the week from around 11-3 for drop in visits or walks. Once the school year starts back up, I may be available during holiday breaks and some weekends. Expect thorough reports and cute photos after a sitting or walk. As a regular user of Rover services myself, I know what I like and want from my sitters, so I will put that into my work. I will enter the home however is most comfortable with the client and lock the home back up when I leave. All walks will be leashed or contained in a stroller. I do not offer off-leash walks for the safety and liability of myself, your pet, and anyone we might encounter. If your pet is crated, I will crate them again when I leave. I will only enter spaces necessary for the care of the pet.
“I couldn’t have asked for a better drop-in sitter for my cats. She truly went above and beyond, especially for my oldest cat who had matted fur. After asking for permission, she removed the matted areas and educated me on maintenance. I can tell how much she loves cats and how knowledgeable she is about them. I am so glad I found Rover and Sara.”

About: Growing up, I’ve cared for animals of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and love their pets. I truly love all animals and enjoy staying active, so whether your dog needs a long walk, run, or extra playtime, I’m happy to help! As a full-time teacher, my availability is limited during the school year. However, I am primarily looking to provide pet care during the summer months when I have a very open and flexible schedule. Throughout the summer, I am available most days and accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and loving environment. I will follow each pets routine closely, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any specific instructions you provide.
“Molly was so flexible and understanding. We had originally set up an in-home stay at her place. Unfortunately, one of our pups wasn’t as friendly with one of her pups. We quickly rescheduled as drop-in visits in our home. Molly played, cuddled, and reassured our dogs each time she visited. This was the first time our dogs have been left alone in the house and she made that more comfortable for us. The constant pictures and updates made us happy and reassuranced while we were gone. Would and will rebook with Molly in the future!!”

About: I've been dropping in to aid family and friends with their dogs, cats, and other pets since I was in high school, and have been online doing general pet services for the last 3 or so years now. I myself have 3 cats and a snake. I have experience with giving cats eye medication, oral pills, medication mixed with treats/food, and creams. For dogs I've given creams and medication mixed with food/treats. I'm currently doing freelance work so my schedule is pretty flexible. Other than my own pet's schedule, I'm happy to find time for your pet's needs. I always make sure to check in with my clients to ensure they feel comfortable with me in their house. Things like where they're comfortable with me going and doing, where the pet(s) are allow to be, any routines that need to be done, and anything else they'd like to precaution or worry about.
“Austin does a great job with our kitties and made them his priority while we were away. Even with some tough winter weather he always made sure the kitties had some play time and food. Will definitely use him again!”

“Thank you for watching my princess while I was on my vacation. Because she is shy around strangers, it was such a relief to see her trust you and become more comfortable with you each day”

“Alishea is so good with my pup! He is young and still a bit skiddish with new people. She is kind and patient with him and is so consistent - which he needs. Thank you for everything, Alishea!”
