About: For over 14 years, I cared for two deeply loved dogs - Charlie and Indiana - through every stage of their lives, including special diets, medications, and the realities of aging. I’ve handled everything from leash pulling to pet reactivity, separation anxiety to senior care, and understand how unique each animal’s needs can be. Since losing both of them, I’ve felt the pull to keep sharing that care. I know firsthand how important it is to trust the person watching your pet - it brings peace when you’re away. I’ve been that person for family and friends for years, and I’d be honored to be that for you, too. In addition to providing a fun and safe environment, I have two goals when pet sitting: 1. Providing care that feels like home, even when you’re away 2. Becoming your pet’s second favorite person! I work remotely with a relatively flexible schedule. I will be home with your pet the entire workday, making walks, potty breaks and snuggles easy! I can typically cater the rest of my schedule to your pet’s needs as well. They’re the priority when I’m sitting ❤️ I know how important it is to give each pet the unique care they need. Following your care instructions and preferences is my guarantee. No matter your pet’s age, size or needs, they will be safe, snuggled and secure in the way that suits them best.

About: I have many years of caring for all types of dogs. I have worked with puppies, seniors, reactive/fearful dogs, and working/high energy breeds. I am always up for learning and researching new techniques and skills when it comes to dogs. I have fostered dogs through my local animal shelter for many years which has given me a lot of experience with rescues. I’ve fostered nursing litters, young puppies, and adult dogs with great success! I am always excited to meet new dogs and learn their personalities and quirks so that I can care for them in a way that works best for the dog! I am newly unemployed and dedicating my time to caring for dogs! My schedule is generally pretty flexible, which leaves me time to care for your pets in a way that works for you and your dog! I live in a home with a fenced in yard where dogs can play! I have one dog named Olive, and she is the best with fosters we bring into our home. She will take the lead of other dogs and can play for hours, or just hangout calmly and give space to nervous dogs. I believe in crate training and find it very useful for multi dog households, but if your dog isn’t crate trained we can figure something out! Mental and physical stimulation is one of the most important things for dogs, so I incorporate walks, brain games, and structure whenever necessary! I believe that each dog is unique, so I like to follow their lead in terms of what they require to be fulfilled!

“Monique took excellent care of my dog while I was away! Shoelace took to her immediately and seemed very happy in all of the pictures Monique sent. It was so great to come home to a happy, relaxed pup and know she was well looked after. I will definitely hire Monique again in the future! Thanks, Monique :)”


“Savannah did a wonderful job with my Tobi! She gave great daily reports and was responsive to my messages.”


“Melanie is thoughtful, kind and conscientious! Our pack is so happy to see her and also match her calm and caring demeanor. We are so grateful to have Melanie a part of our pack!”


“Rhiannon watched our cats during our Christmas vacation and we knew they were in great hands. She was very sweet with them, and we were so grateful to have her as our sitter. We definitely recommend Rhiannon, and will go to her first if we need pet sitting services in the future. Thanks again Rhiannon! -Aaron and Emily”


“Grace did a wonderful job taking care of my Sofi! Lots of happy pictures!”



“Lauren did a great job communicating what was going on with my cat while I was away. I really appreciated her willingness to be flexible, like turning on the AC for him, when needed. She’s a kind person who’s great with animals, and I’d definitely recommend booking with her!”

“Kristle was awesome! She was very professional and caring with our cats. It was great to get regular updates and photos of our little ones. Thanks Kristle!”


About: What can I say, but that I LOVE dogs, cats, and all animals in general! I grew up with a mutt--Yogi--my best friend for the 13 formative years of my life. I still dream of him sometimes. Since then, I have owned two more mutts and multiple cats....but no personal pets at this moment, owing to my present living situation. So...I get my animal fix by house and animal sitting. I have stellar references for my services that I am more than happy to provide for you. I am a semi-retired teacher, though still teach English online, part-time. Prior to this, I taught elementary school for many years. Currently, I also spend more time care-giving pets, as it affords me the perfect opportunity to still work online, and at the same time be with the creatures that I adore! I greatly look forward to becoming part of your extended family by lovingly and wholeheartedly caring for your pet when such help is needed by you. I look forward to meeting you soon! As an English teacher working online part time, I have PLENTY of time to care for, walk and play (and generally spend quality time) with your pets. I only care for animals in my clients' homes. As a trustworthy, diligent and meticulously clean woman, I can guarantee that you will be happy with how I treat both your home and your precious pets.

Sheri G.
“I've known Sher G for over 30 years. On many occasions, she has house-sat for me while taking care of my beloved elderly dog and irascible cat. It would be an understatement to characterize Sher as an animal lover - she's an animal adorer! She also possesses the rare attribute of uncommon conscientiousness. If she says she going do something, her word is her bond. There are few people more trustworthy. Sher is always my first choice when I leave town and need to entrust someone with my home and precious pets. I would strongly recommend her to anyone in need of a first-rate, highly intelligent, super-diligent house and/or pet sitter. Sincerely, Lisa”
Sawmill pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jen did a wonderful job watching our three cats (two of which require medications). She sent updates with each visit and reliability made all schedule times!

She took care of our cat Cookie for a week and was amazing! She provides such thorough care, and always made sure to take pictures and send updates after every visit. Cookie was very comfortable with her and we knew she was in good hands during our vacation. We will definitely be having her back again next time! Thank you Alexandria!!

Kira was very good for my babies while we were out of town. They obviously loved her. We will definitely use her services again.

Jesus has watched my fur babies twice now, and I know my babies are always safe with him! He’s very communicative and kind. Will absolutely ask for his help again when we travel!

Catherine was fantastic. My cat Alien loved the attention and daily brushing. Catherine also changed out litter box and vacuumed when it needed it. She also watered my plants. We were gone for almost 3 weeks and I never felt like I had to worry. She also sent photos and videos regularly which I really appreciated. Catherine was very good. I highly recommend her for your house sitting or pet sitting needs,

Rhiannon was great with our little girl. Easy to communicate and coordinate with, I appreciate being able to trust and count on her.

Our cat really seem to enjoy having someone stop in and visit with him while we were out of town with family. Julie was very respectful of our home, always made sure our house was locked/alarmed when she left after the visit and treated our fur baby really well. She's very nice, a good communicator and was accommodating, not that we asked for a lot. She also agreed to water my plants on one of the visits during the week that we were gone. We even got adorable pictures of our cat on our Rover cards during her visits. We had a really reassuring experience having her as our pet sitter. We highly recommend her and will absolutely be contacting her for our next trip out of town.

Addie is great, personable, listens, and goes above and beyond! She’s taken care of my dog twice and I trust her more than most. Not to mention, she’s just a fun person to be around :) highly recommend working with her

Kelsey was amazing with our 3 pups while we were away for a few days! We opted for 2-3 daily check in visits which worked great for our dogs. Our three dogs are different ages and have slightly different care needs. Kelsey was able to accommodate them all and our dogs seemed happy and calm while we were away.

Amaya is amazing. She always provided detailed updates, and would make sure to include pictures. Amaya treated our cat with love and care as if he was her own. 100% would recommend booking with her.

Geneva was fantastic with my kitties! She was super responsive and knowledgeable. I felt super comfortable leaving my cats to her for the holidays. Even my cat who is skiddish warmed up quickly to her! Highly recommend for anyone who wants an attentive and friendly sitter. Thanks, Geneva!!

Jody is so lovely and sweet! They took the time to learn about Rudy and his quirks and separation anxiety, and then ask how they could help with the process. They took amazing notes and provided me with a lot of feed back. It’s always a pleasure to work with Jody and I’m glad to have someone who can help me when I need a doggy babysitter! Much appreciated!

Casper was great with my older cat! He followed the instructions I left and showed my old boy some much needed love while we were away. I'll be booking him again, for sure!

Carlota was wonderful! My baby was immediately attached to her. She made sure my baby had lots of time to stretch her legs and get some fresh air each time she dropped in. We scheduled Carlota in a pinch and are so glad we did! 🥰

I am beyond impressed with Patrick and calm demeanor. He did amazing with our pack and they took to him very quickly and we have a pack 4 pups and our chicken's We received notification from him getting to our home and at the end of the visit as well, received pictures of everyone. We all want an amazing sitter I believe we found that in Patrick. I will definitely be a repeat.
