This was my first time using Rover, and I must say that Lindsey was exceptional. She came to our house a few days before our trip to meet our cat. This showed a lot of care to me. She checked in each day, and provided pictures and a narrative to us about how our cat was doing. She even brought in our packages, which I was grateful for. I would highly recommend Lindsey. She took great, loving care of our cat and gave us a lot of peace of mind! Thanks Lindsey!

Dorian was fantastic with my three cats, he was easy to communicate with, providing detailed and fun updates (and pictures!) each day, and making sure that they all my pets received appropriate attention. My kitties had a great time and he was so thoughtful with playing with my high energy kitten, and then giving my older guys extra love and treats. I trust him to watch my house and pets any time, and I'm looking forward to working with him in the future, thank you Dorian!

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and currently have two corgis of my own, Chimi and Churro, so caring for pups is just part of my everyday life. They’re my little adventure buddies, and we love being outside together, going on walks, exploring trails, and soaking up fresh air. Because I’m used to handling my own energetic dogs daily, I’m comfortable with all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your dog needs a long walk to burn energy, playtime, or slower, gentle care, I’m happy to match their pace and routine. My goal is lots of love, exercise, and a very happy dog. Im currently working at a dental office Monday-Thursday 9am-5:30pm. So I’m available most weekdays if you need a quick walk or drop-ins, if not I'm available Friday-Sunday with whatever pet needs you may have! In your home, I’m respectful, clean, and treat your space like my own. I make sure pets feel calm and comfortable by keeping their environment familiar and stress-free. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. On walks, dogs are always leashed and closely supervised. I carefully follow feeding schedules, routines, and any special instructions to keep things consistent and stress-free.

Absolutely 5/5 star pet sitter!! My picky territoral husky/lab trusts her out of everybody! She has watched my pets from 2 weeks to 3 day trips... 100% more reliable that I can explain (: I receive so many pics of each pet and a thorough detailed day of each pet so I can monitor my pets health while I'm away. Thank you for my happy & healthy pets while I'm out of town! (: <3

About: Ever since I was young I've taken care of dogs, cats, ferrets, and birds at younger ages as well! I bond very well with animals and I treat them like they're a human too, it's instinct. I always wanted what's best for animals because they can't talk so I want to be their voice and opinion for them! I will be avaialble and open Monday-Sunday, so I'll have lots of time to tend to many furry companions! I work part-time for the time being but am open to expanding my schedule! I can easily meet each owners needs on their companions! If you need anything in particular just let me know and I'll accommodate to each individual!

About: I have two dogs of my own that I’ve raised since they were puppies, so I understand the full range of care from early training to senior needs. My oldest dog is 11 and my youngest is 8. This gives me experience with all ranges of dog care from puppy routines, basic training, and providing extra patience and comfort for aging dogs. I treat every pet like my own and focus on creating a safe, calm, and consistent environment so they feel comfortable while you’re away. As a teacher on summer vacation, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. This allows me to be available for consistent visits, walks, and extra attention to meet each pet’s individual needs. I care for pets by following their usual routines as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. In both my home and a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise, and receive lots of attention and affection.

About: I’ve spent my life around animals, including time as a dog mushing handler, so I know how to manage high-energy breeds and diverse personalities. Now, I’m passing those skills down to my 11-year-old daughter, teaching her about pet care. When your dog is with us, they get all the attention they need plus the extra play and affection of my helpful daughter. My one-year-old baby girl also joins the fun sometimes. Making our family a perfect fit for dogs who like kids and belly rubs. We offer a structured, supervised, and incredibly loving environment where your pet is treated like one of our own! for peace of mind, I always confirm with owners if it is okay to bring my kiddos along. I am still okay with walking and dropping in on pets if my kids have to stay home. We can discuss all particulars one on one. I also encourage doing meet and greats to make sure its a good fit for us all. For dog walking, I’m available Sunday and Wednesday mornings until 11am, and all day on Thursdays and Fridays. Drop‑ins are currently available on Thursdays and Fridays. If you need a different time within these days, just message me — I can manually enter custom times and often accommodate outside my listed hours With my background as a former dog mushing handler, safety and structure are my second nature. During check-ins and walks, I use my experience to keep every outing controlled and fun. My 11-year-old daughter assists me as she learns the ropes of pet responsibility, and my one-year-old often joins us in her stroller. Because my girls are a big part of this journey, we only care for dogs who are comfortable and friendly around children and babies. We treat every pet with the same care we give our own family—focusing on fresh water, consistent routines, and lots of positive reinforcement. You can trust that your home will be respected and your dog will return from their walk happy, tired, and well-loved!

About: Thank you so much for your consideration and reading my profile! I am comfortable with animals of all sizes large and small! I’ve worked as a ranch hand and ridden horses for many years and have a special love for them. I am a NAVTA certified veterinary assistant, a fear free certified handler, have dog/cat first aid + CPR certification, currently work at a general practice veterinary clinic, and have countless of hours of experience of petsitting, shelter work, and more, so you can rest assured your babies are in good hands! I know all about the quirks and special things needed to make all kinds of animals happy ♥️ I am typically very flexible with your needs! The information on here is not set in stone and I pride myself in being affordable and reliable while providing exceptional pet care. My calendar fills up quickly from both Rover and outside bookings, but please do not hesitate to reach out even if I have dates booked on my calendar! All funds that I receive from petsitting are put towards getting my own horse and saving for veterinary school. I am incredibly grateful for your trust and support. I am a student at UAA, currently work at a vet clinic, and have several outside commitments in preparation for vet school, so my schedule can get busy! However, I always make sure your pets is a priority, and am more than happy to discuss my scheduling in very specific detail with you. I completely understand if your pets needs do not align with my schedule, but would love to touch base to see if we could make it work! Weekends are my best availability, but I specialize in staying at your home so that your animal has the comfort and familiarity of somewhere they know! I prefer to stay overnight to ensure as much care and time can be given to them, which works well with my class and work schedule because I can stop by and check on your babies multiple times a day! Your pet always comes first. I prefer to watch animals in your own home because it is somewhere they are comfortable and familiar with! Whether it’s cuddles, frisbee, or a good long walk, anything your pet needs it will get! Spoiling your babies while you’re away eases the burden of you being gone, and I will do absolutely everything to make sure your pets are as comfortable as possible.

Alysa was fantastic and I’ve definitely found my go-to sitter when we travel. She had great communication, sent so many cute pictures and videos, and even extended the stay because we had flight delays! My little guy Ralphie took to her almost instantly and that’s not something that happens often when chihuahuas meet new people! She went over and above and I’ve already booked her for our next trip

To be honest, I'm disappointed with my experience. I don't like leaving negative reviews, but I feel it's important to provide honest feedback. I don't believe this sitter was particularly comfortable with cats. Some of the photos she sent actually concerned me, as my cats appeared stressed or unwell in several of them. She also allowed my cats onto the kitchen counter, which is not acceptable in my home. Additionally, she sent photos showing rugs and their harnesses knocked off counters and out of place. I had to point out that things had fallen and needed to be picked up before they were even addressed. When I returned home, the harnesses were still left in front of the door. Caring for my cats is a very straightforward job. They have an automatic litter box, automatic water fountain, and automatic feeder, so daily responsibilities are minimal - wet food, a treat, and try to get them to play. Unfortunately, the lack of attention to detail and effort was noticeable. I've used Rover before and had wonderful experiences with cat sitters who kept me updated with thoughtful messages, photos of my cats enjoying treats, playing with toys, giving me their arrival and departure notifications, and observations that helped put my mind at ease while I was away. Unfortunately, that was not the experience I received this time. Communication was sparse, and I felt like I was hearing very little from someone who was regularly entering my home and caring for pets that are incredibly important to me. The daily updates felt generic and lacked the level of care, engagement, and reassurance I was expecting.

Kayla was an excellent caretaker for our dog. She did drop-in visits because our dog is happiest at home. Kayla came just as we agreed and always took care of our dog, and played with him. She updated us with photos and was available to speak about any questions we had. We also had an unexpected delay in getting home and Kayla was gracious to extend our booking and continue looking after our dog for an extra day. I highly recommend her!

About: I loved working on ranches and dog sitting throughout my highschool and college time. I have always enjoyed getting out with the animals to make sure they are feeling energized! I have a fairly flexible schedule at this time. I would be able to let the dogs out or take them on a walk early afternoon. I’m able to take the dogs out on walks fairly often if I am living near. I also would be able to crate the puppy easily and take them on walks throughout the day.
