We are so grateful to have found Aliza! She stayed at our home with our two pups while we were out of town for a family event. This was the first time our pack of four had been separated since Covid, also our first time using Rover, so I wasn't sure what to expect or how it would go. Plus, it was the Fourth of July weekend and one of our pups is not good with fireworks or thunderstorms. But Aliza rose to the occasion! She swaddled and comforted little Leah during the fireworks with her best Mom skills. She sent plenty of pics so that I was able to feel completely at ease while we were away. Good communications via text. We found Aliza to be reliable and flexible, mature, trustworthy and responsible. The house was left for us in the same condition as she found it. The most important part was that the pups were happy and fine when we returned home. Wagging tails all around! Would definitely recommend and we will definitely rebook with Aliza in the future.

Danae is a wonderful pet sitter! I was nervous to leave my 5 cats for two weeks but Danae put me as such ease upon first meeting . She was so thoughtful and sent me daily updates of our kitties looking so happy and relaxed.. When we returned our cats looked super content and didn’t seem stressed in the least bit. She truly is an animal lover and it shows on the love she showers upon the cats

About: I've always had pets and a love of animals. I currently have an 11 year old mountain cur mix that we adopted from Roar as a puppy. I have been taking care of my neighbors 3 dogs for many years now while she is at work. Since she recently got a puppy last December so, I have gained puppy sitting experience. She has always had 3 dogs and I have cared for a few senior dogs of hers also that are no longer with us. I have experience taking care of many different breeds and temperments of dogs. I would love to help with any of your pet care needs from long walks to caretaker or companion. I will provide the same loving care and compassion that I give to our dog Junie and my neighbors doggies Stella, Luca, and Moose. I'm currently pet sitting for one person and that is for 30 minutes M,W,F. My schedule is open otherwise during the week and flexible to work with your needs. I can care for your pets in your own home. I am looking for something in my local nearby community or surrounding towns. Safety is at the top of my priority list. I have cared for infants, toddlers, and preschool aged children at various school settings in my career as well as my 4 kids. I will treat your pet as I would taking care of a child making sure they are safe and well looked after. I currently have been watching my neighbors 3 dogs for many years and have been reliable and trustworthy and always do my best to make sure the needs are met of the animals in my care. As well as making sure to take note of anything that would be something I would want to know if it was my own pet and passing the message to the owner.

Natalie watches our golden Retriever and cat often. She has grown up around animals. It’s obvious that she truly cares and has compassion for all animals. I would 100% recommend her to care for animals…

I'm worried about saying too many wonderful things about Melissa because I'm scared I'll lose her! This is the first time we used Rover and I must say although we were a little apprehensive at first, having someone stay at our home to care for our four dogs, but once I met her I saw that she's a lovely young woman who assured me that they would be fine, as did her reviews. Then between a few texts, some photos of our pups, we returned home. I saw that she was true to her word. She followed my instructions to a T, our home was immaculate, and the dogs were happy and well cared for. They love her and so do we!

About: With four years of dedicated experience in the veterinary field, I have honed my skills across diverse settings, from bustling animal hospitals to vibrant daycare environments. My journey began in a hospital, where I developed a strong foundation in patient care, assisting in various medical procedures and fostering a deep understanding of animal health. Transitioning to a daycare setting allowed me to blend my clinical expertise with a passion for nurturing and socializing pets, ensuring their happiness and well-being. In addition to my professional work, I am deeply involved in animal rescue, a commitment that has proven to be one of the most rewarding aspects of my career. Working with rescue organizations has given me the opportunity to advocate for vulnerable animals, providing them with the care and love they deserve. Each successful adoption and transformation fuels my passion, reminding me of the profound impact we can have on the lives of these animals and their future families. I thrive in dynamic environments where I can make a positive impact on both animals and their owners, always eager to share my knowledge and love for all creatures great and small. Great News! This is my full time job, I am able to work around your schedule to best fit you and your pets needs. Available almost at any time! Caring for pets in my home is all about creating a loving and safe environment for them. I make sure they have a comfortable space to rest, plenty of fresh water, and nutritious food tailored to their needs. Regular exercise is important too, so we enjoy daily walks and playtime together. I also prioritize regular vet check-ups and vaccinations to keep them healthy. Most importantly, I spend quality time with them, giving lots of love and attention, which helps build a strong bond and trust between us.

I have known Stephen for over 27 years. He is a natural with pets! He has a tremendous amount of experience with them, having owned both a pet-sitting/dog walking and doggie daycare in New York City. He treats and cares for each pet with the same affection he doles on his own pup, Rosie. I have no doubt he will be loved by all his customers on Rover. Highly recommend!
