“Alena was absolutely amazing for both recent trips we’ve used her for. We had just recently foster failed our cat and were very nervous about leaving her for 2 pre-planned trips. Alena immediately made us feel at ease and our normally shy cat LOVES her (honestly maybe more than us). Not only did Alena take amazing care of our cat, but she also fed our fish, took out litter trash, and brought in boxes that were delivered. We will absolutely be using Alena for all future pet sitting needs!”
“Alivia is the biggest blessing for our little boy (cat)!! She’s so thorough and is willing to go above and beyond our requested needs. Thank you as always Alivia!!!”
“James did an exceptional job and gave me peace of mind while I was out of town. He even went above and beyond and cleaned their food and water bowls!”
“I picked Hannah based off her great reviews, and she did not disappoint! It was my first time using the app and she explained how everything worked during the meet and greet. The reports she made after the drop-in visits put my mind at ease about my cats while I was on vacation. She sent me a picture of one of my cats that I will probably end up getting framed, she is a great photographer! I highly recommend using Hannah as a sitter, and I will definitely use her again next time I go out of town.”
“We are so glad we found Stormee to drop-in and take care of our puppy. We were in a pinch with our work schedules and needed a last-minute dog sitter. From first contact, Stormee gave us comfort and confidence by asking thorough questions about our pup’s care and keeping us informed every step of the way. If you’re new to Rover or just looking for a friendly, well-communicating and professional dog-sitter, please reach out to Stormee.”
“Met Haleigh for a meet and greet introduction for our bird. She was great and comfortable with our feathered family. We’ll certainly be booking her in the future.”
“Rebekah took great care of our two babies, Butters and Kramer. She provided constant updates for each of them individually and sent photos of both so I would know they are happy :)”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments since I was 10, providing walks, feeding, baths, and lots of love. Friends, neighbors, and family regularly rely on me for pet care, and I’m comfortable with puppies, seniors, and pets needing extra patience. I’m attentive, responsible, and always make sure pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I model part-time and spend much of my time working on my own brand, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. I can easily plan around photoshoots, meetings, and appointments to make sure your pets get plenty of love, walks, and attention. I only board one dog at a time to ensure each pet gets the care, attention, and comfort they deserve. I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex with a secure dog park where pups can safely play and exercise. I also have two friendly, well-socialized dogs to keep your pet company. Your pet will always be supervised, cared for like family, and given a calm, safe environment. I’m comfortable with crate training and following your pet’s routine to ensure they feel right at home.
“Thankful to have found Iva to take care of my fur baby. He requires insulin injections and lots of love. Iva is thorough with her notes and photos. Thank you again!”
“Shalik has taken great care of my boy a few times now. Each one of my dogs have different medical issues as they are all senior dogs. In Addition, my rescues has alot of fears so slow introductions are best with him. I was worried my rescue would not accept a new person caring for them but Shalik came over more than one day to get him to be comfortable with him. Shalik was very patiently and kind. He was knowledgable on how to handle more challenging situations. I feel very comfortable leaving all three of my babies with him knowing they are in good hands. I will definitely call upon his services in the future. Thank you Shalik!!!”
About: Personally I’ve always loved dogs and grew up surrounded by animals. I have had 3 dogs who all varied in size. Walking, feeding and picking up after your pet is no trouble for me. I’m very good at animals body language as well. I’m currently working part time and have LOTS of extra time. Dog walking would not affect my day at all. I would be available whenever you need me! I care for pets just like they are my own. I have always been an animal lover and can’t wait to love on your pets!
About: When growing up my mom ran a dog rescue, so I leaned how to train and calm dogs during a stressful time. I then volunteered at the local shelter to get my volunteer hours in high school. I recently worked at a vet where i further learned how to administer medications. I am currently a college student working part time, and so there are multiple days and times where I am free to hang out with these pets! I make sure to always keep a tidy litterbox in my apartment for my two boys. I promise keep your place as clean as can be while watching your pets. I can also crate them, or anything of the sort that they’re normally used to when you’re gone.
“Kira was so amazing. Our guy has a broken leg, and she was so kind as to give us detailed updates and progress on his injury while we were out of town. I 10/10 recommend her, and we will definitely be booking her again for our next out of town trip.”
