“Alyssa is amazing! She has sat for my cat, Beanie, twice now and each time she takes wonderful care of her and provides the best updates. I feel very comfortable when I'm away knowing that Beanie is in trusted hands.”

“Our dogs loved getting to see Bryce again! He does a great job playing with them and tiring out our younger dog. Will book again knowing that our dogs are in great hands!”


“Jovita was so awesome! So so good w/ both my dogs, one with past trauma leading to aggression at times. She gave him the space he needed all while filling his needs (potty breaks and food). She kept me updated, sent pics, and was great communicating. I will request her again any day to take care of my pups. Highly recommend!”


“Alan has been great in taking the time to become familiar with our dogs. We have a nervous GSD, and he has had a lot of patience with her. We can tell that our dogs really feel comfortable around him.”


“Claudia is literally amazing!! I had a last minute drop in request for a few days and she was available immediately. She was so sweet and followed instructions to a T. My cat is also a little moody and she was very accommodating to his big feelings. I would use Claudia again in a heart beat!!”


“It was my first time using Rover and I’m so glad I went with Brian, he’s responsible and I received constant updates and pictures, our dog fell in love with him. Will definitely book with Brian again in the future!”


“Karlee took excellent care of my two dogs. Karlee came over during the day and kept my boys entertained by playing fetch and giving them lots of attention to get their energy out. She even cleaned up an accident one of them had prior to her getting there (very much appreciated). I highly recommend her!”


About: I have 4 dogs, experienced with senior care, and skilled in handling both large and small breeds. Your pet will feel truly at home with me. As a software engineer for a pet care software company, I work from home with a flexible schedule. I live and breathe pet care daily, seamlessly integrating it into my routine. I provide comprehensive pet care, including administering oral medication for senior dogs and daily walks. Playtime like fetch ensures each pet receives personalized attention and exercise.

About: Along with raising our 5 year old Golden Retriever, I have 20+ years of dog-sitting experience and have been a Rover sitter since 2021. I’m comfortable with many different breeds and sizes having watched anything from Daschaunds to St. Bernard’s. I’ve also been highly referred by numerous clients that are satisfied with my services. Check out the Reviews section to see all the feedback from clients that booked with me! I have a flexible schedule during the week & the weekend which allows me to spend quality time with your pup giving them top-notch care and all the attention needed to ensure they are comfortable throughout their stay. My wife Kelly also works from home full-time so between the two of us your pup will be in good hands and taken care of throughout all times of the day. My wife and I adore our 5 year old Golden Retriever and pamper him daily. We play fetch with him and go on a lot of walks so we’re well-versed on caring for an active dog if that’s the type of personality your pup has. When we’re not outdoors being active, you’ll most likely find Gus snoozing on the couch or flat on his back requesting a belly rub so if your pup is less-crazy and a little more lazy we cater to that, too. He gets along great with other dogs and has made a handful of new Rover buds since we started sitting so he’ll be excited to meet you and your pup! I know that boarding a pet can be a stressful time for you as well as your animal, I’ll make sure to check in with daily updates and pictures of your furry family member to keep you posted on how they are doing. I’ll make myself available 24-7 during the boarding so whether its an urgent emergency, an unexpected flight cancellation, or you’re relaxing on the beach and just want to know what your dog is up to, feel free to call/text/message me anytime day or night.
