“Alona has been our regular cat sitter for over a year now, and she always does an amazing job! She is an excellent communicator, gives a detailed report for every visit, and always sends plenty of photos. Not only that, but when our travel plans changed and we needed someone to check on our kitty an extra day, she was there for us! Thank you, Alona!”

“Thank you so much. I do have some more travel coming up and I would love for you to watch them again. I’m anxious to see them later tonight. I appreciate all your communication and pics. It really helped me know how they were doing.”


“Ricky is nurturing, conscientious and reliable. With his enthusiasm and warmth, he created an immediate connection with our two dogs. The three of them engaged in a group cuddle within minutes of meeting. From sending us notifications of a delivery, to providing reports on our pups behavior, he goes the extra mile. Ricky is also very playful, and just simply a good time. It puts us at ease to know our pups are partying with someone who is mindful of all their needs and has such a big a heart.”


“Austen was great with the daily drop in visits for our two barn cats. In addition to the food and water, they really love just hanging out with him and getting lots of loving pets. The cats are always happy to see Austen whenever we travel. Highly recommend.”


“Julia is great with dogs! She is a dog whisperer, and has a lot of experience training and dealing with many types of dogs. She is great with sending lots of photos and videos. Highly recommend!”


“Megan is such a great communicator. She was flexible with my scheduling needs. Megan did everything I ask her too, including cleaning up my puppies messes. The puppies seem very happy with their new sitter”


“I had Kelly do some drop in visits for my 2 cats while I went away on vacation. She was very good about giving me updates and sharing photos of them playing. She was also very tenative during our meet & greet and took lots of notes. My one cat Kai, who is normally very shy around new people, warmed up to her very fast. By the end of my trip he even climbed into her lap for pets!! I had peace of mind knowing my kitties had someone so loving and nice to take care of them. I will definitely be using her services in the future and will recommend her to friends. ????”

About: Hi there! I’m new to Rover as of March 2025, but I’ve been providing pet care for many years. I teach both virtually and in person for about 6 hours a week, so I have plenty of availability outside those times to care for your pet - including walks, playtime, and snuggles! I have the flexibility to structure my daily and weekly routine in a way that allows me to give your pet the attention they need while fulfilling my responsibilities. During breaks between, teaching fitness classes, I make sure to check in and ensure they are comfortable, Your Pet care is important part of my daily routine. In the morning, I start by feeding your pet and give them plenty of pets and snuggle and letting them out to potty. During the day, I make sure they have everything they need, whether that’s a comfortable space to relax or toys to play with. In the evening, I take them on a walk, some playtime, and a final feeding.

“Pakuna was super reliable and kind to my cats and dogs. She sent regular updates and pictures. Extremely trustworthy, dependable, sweet, and most importantly kind and competent with animals. Pakuna is highly recommended. I wish I could give more than 5 stars ✨⭐🌟✨”

Austen was a gem and a lifesaver! I had a family emergency come up and had to leave the next day. This was my first time having him as a sitter and he arranged to meet with me that same night, paid attention to all details of request, and was instantly loved by my cat when he picked her up. My mind was at ease while I was gone and I knew Tilly was in good hands while I was gone! I will absolutely be a returning customer with Austen! Thank you!

This was our first time away from our kitty Timmy, so I was picky in about choosing his cat sitter. After the meet and greet with Vanessa I knew she was the right fit for Timmy. I was at ease while on vacation knowing Timmy was in good hands. Thank you, Vanessa, for the excellent care you gave our kitty!

Angelina was amazing with our pups!!! She was on time/early for all drop ins and made sure to love on our babies. Super communicative, provided details, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. Will definitely be using her again and recommending her to our friends!

Jillian was amazing! She went above and beyond for our pups even leaving us a detailed note when we got home on how they did. She sent multiple cute photos from every visit with our dogs, and was patient with our girl that took awhile to warm up. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter over a holiday weekend.

Brigitt did an absolutely fantastic job with our two cats while we were away! She was so kind and communicative, making sure our boys were well taken care of and shown lots of love. I will definitely be re-booking in the future when we can’t be home with them ourselves! Thanks so much, Brigitt!💗
