“Dianna and Shea are just terrific. The are true animal lovers and I love knowing that Dianna has vet assistant experience. As much as I hate to leave my boy, I feel better knowing he is in good hands.”
About: Hey there Dog parents! I have been around animals starting at a very young age. So basically im obsessed with them. I was always the designated trainer for the new pups. And im pretty good at it. Whenever visiting family or friends you can always find me with the dogs. Family and friends have always trusted me with their furry family members. Wether your on vacation or simply your day is overloaded, I'm happy to offer my services to ease your day! Getting an early start on the day during the week with your pups in the morning works with my schedule. If early morning doesn't work with you, I'm also available late afternoon during the week. My schedule isn't firm so if you have any special requests, I would love to work with you and figure something out! I will always put your fur baby’s needs first. Watching their body language is something that I always look out for. Making you and your pup comfortable is what I strive for.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs, cats and parrots all my life. I’ve had the responsibility of walking them, feeding them and playing with them. Now that I’m post-grad I have a cat of my own and am solely responsible for its care. Ive helped neighbors and friends with their animals when they go away on vacation. I am home for the summer with a part time job and this would fit in perfectly with my schedule. i am able to schedule around my other job. In my home we have a fenced in yard and our dogs are sometimes crated when we leave. When they are not crated have gates to set up safe spaces in the house where they can roam.
About: I’ve been taking care of my family, friends and friends of friends cats and dogs since I graduated high school. I wanted something simple and I’d love to do while in college. I love to walk with the pups and play with them. I love cats, I have my own. I can change litter, no problem and give them the best scratches. Feeding, walking, playing, bathing are no issues at all for me. I’m currently taking online asynchronous courses for my degree so I am available pretty much whenever I just do set aside 1-2 hours a day to work on any studying or homework which I can do between any walk, bath or playtime. I have a Australian shepherded/retriever mix and two short hair domestic cats. They’re loved, walked, fed every single day and night. I have no problem with crates if that’s what’s best for your home.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life, from tiny puppies to senior pets, so I understand the care, patience, and attention each stage requires. I have also worked with pet rescues and fostered several dogs while they awaited their forever homes. For years, I’ve been the go-to sitter for friends and family, caring for everything from high-energy puppies to shy rescues. I’m experienced with administering medications, crate training, leash walking, and working with anxious or energetic pets. I work at home most days during the week. I will plan my day around whether I have a special pet visitor, doggie walker, or cat visit. In my home, pets are treated like family. I provide a safe, clean, and cozy environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and walks. Pets are never left unattended for long periods, and I always follow your routines for feeding, exercise, and rest. Whether it’s snuggles on the couch or some playtime, I make sure your pet feels right at home. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and your pet’s routine. I follow your instructions carefully to keep things consistent and stress-free — from feeding schedules to favorite walking routes. I make sure pets get the attention, exercise, and affection they need, while also keeping your home tidy and secure.
“Aletris was amazing! They were incredibly attentive and sweet with our kitty and went above and beyond our expectations. Aletris took the job very seriously and made sure nothing would get in their way of taking care of our fur baby, (even if that means resorting to biking to our house when their family needed their car)! We can’t express how happy we are to have found Aletris and I know our kitty felt the same way! Will definitely be hiring them again for future pet sitting needs!”
“I have too many adjectives to describe Colleen. She was extremely trustworthy, communicative, accommodating, caring, thoughtful, kind, responsible and prepared. I always stress when I go away and leave my girls but Colleen alleviated that feeling almost entirely. She even stayed longer than needed the first night. I am very happy with how my girls were treated and will definitely pick Colleen as my sitter next time.”

Sterling Forest cat parents share their Rover experiences
Dianna and Shea took great care of my cats and fish while I was away for 6 days. They are amazing communicators, I got texts every day telling me when they arrived and were leaving, as well as updating me on how everyone was doing and that everything on the “to do” list was done. They also sent pictures every day which I really appreciated! They consistently followed all my instructions to the letter. It was clear that they really care which gave me such peace of mind. It’s always stressful when I have to be away from my babies, especially so when using a new sitter, so having confidence that they were in good hands was such a huge relief. I would highly recommend them and will definitely have them back!
