“Bless her heart, she took my big old treeing walker coon hound for a walk and he didn't want to come home after 30 mins so she walked him for another 50 minutes! He was too big for her to force home, but he eventually got tired and came home without fuss. I'm so grateful to her for being so flexible and patient with him!”

About: I'm Alise and I've been an avid dog lover since I was a kid. I have had the opportunity to start dog sitting many years ago and fell in love. I have continued my passion for pets and pet sitting through Rover. I have a 3-year old Wire Fox Terrier rescue and he loves playing with other dogs! Having a rescue I understand the extra TLC they need to feel loved and welcome in an unfamiliar home setting. We do our best to make your pup feel like he/she is at home. My husband and I are travelers and know the stress of finding trustful pet sitters. I will make sure that your pet is treated like our own and update you with pictures while you are away. If you are looking for a trustworthy, reliable sitter, you have found your person!

About: I have had cats and dogs since I was 10. I have been pet sitting for 10 years. I would love to help out with your pets. My schedule is very flexible, so I am available most weekends and on weekdays. I can check on pets in the morning, afternoon, and in the evening. I have three cats with different personalities. I have a cat that loves affection and another one that prefers to be left alone. The client can let me know their pets personality, so I will know if they would like me to play with the cat/dog or leave him/her alone.
