“TLDR; Alexandra is an amazing pet sitter and I am so grateful she was able to take care of my senior girls. She stayed with my girls and was super attentive with many photo updates as I was away. 100% recommend her for you senior dog boarding/walking needs. I had some work trips and a personal trip planned for the week and my other pet sitter moved back to the east coast. I had to find someone and came across Alexandra's profile. She came over for a meet and greet and my girls warmed up to her right away. I have senior dogs and one of them is blind and needs eye drops to keep her eyes. Alexandra was super detailed and made sure to follow all directions and text me with any questions she had. She was always on time, always responded fast and my girls were extremely comfortable the whole time I was gone, which was really important for me. At this point in my dogs lives I just want them to be comfortable and keep their daily routine unchanged, which Alexandra did to a T. I would 100% recommend Alexandra to take care of your senior dogs. She has the demeanor, candor and attention to detail that someone who cares about their dogs will want. You won't be disappointed!”
“Norberto is incredibly prompt and responsive, and handled our high-energy husky like a professional. Norberto is very loving and affectionate as well, and it was a huge relief to have our dog in such capable hands while on vacation. I will definitely use Norberto again in the future.”
“I’ve never used a dog sitter ever in my life but I’m so grateful that Emma was the first person to have filled that role. She is incredible. Sending me updates and pictures of my beagle to sweeping up the floor before she left. I was at ease knowing she was there for my dog. I would 100% book her again”

“Our first time with Abigail as Zoey’s roommate for a week. We couldn’t have asked for s better experience. Abigail kept us up to date with photos and texts. We came home to a clean house, a happy dog and she even even laundered the sheets and remade the guest bed. Bonus is she is a student so she was home with Zoey most of the time. Definitely recommend her.”
About: I offer reliable, loving dog care with plenty of attention, playtime, and patience. I treat every dog like family and adapt to their energy level, routine, and personality so they feel safe and happy in my care. I carefully follow all owner instructions, including feeding, walks, medications, and special care needs. Whether your dog loves active play or just wants companionship and reassurance, I make sure they’re comfortable, well cared for, and given lots of affection while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I currently have a flexible schedule while working on building my own entrepreneurial business. That flexibility allows me to dedicate quality time to each pet and adapt to their routines, whether that means visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I’ve been pet sitting for years for family, friends, and acquaintances, and it’s always been one of my favorite side gigs because I genuinely enjoy caring for animals and getting to know their personalities. Since it’s something I’ve done and loved for a long time, I decided to start offering my services to more people in my local community. At this time, I’m only able to offer care in my client’s home, where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality and adapt to their individual needs. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and routines, and I always make sure fresh water is available. I also provide playtime, affection, and companionship based on what each pet is comfortable with, whether they want lots of cuddles or a little extra personal space. I pay close attention to their behavior and physical condition so I can quickly notice if something seems off, helping ensure they stay safe, healthy, and happy while you’re away.

My house has a secure fence, a yard to run around in. They will have fun meeting new friends. When they get tired they will sleep in a bed or blanket if they want.
“Elissa was fantastic with our two spoiled fur babies. Our pups can be a little intimidating at first but they warmed up and had a great time. She updated us with pictures and how everything was going. Will definitely use Elissa again, thank you!!”

Sunbow pet parents share their Rover experiences
I can’t thank Allison enough for the incredible care she gave my dog. As a first-time Rover user with a very anxious pup, I was incredibly nervous about leaving him, especially since he was just one of four dogs she was looking after. However, Allison went above and beyond to make sure he felt special and safe. She sent hourly photo updates and sweet comments that kept me connected to him during my event. Seeing his happy face in a house full of new friends completely put my heart at ease. She turned what could have been a stressful day into a smooth, wonderful experience. If you have a nervous dog, she is truly the best person to trust!
We’ve used Carla multiple times and have always had a great experience. She is reliable, communicative, and clearly care about our dog. We get regular updates and photos, and our pup is always happy and relaxed when we get home. It makes everything so much easier knowing our dog is in good hands. Highly recommend.
Nyah is one of the best sitters I’ve had for my dogs! My 2 dogs are nervous around new people and they warmed up very quickly to Nyah. She sent regular updates and took amazing care of the pups! They got lots of walks and cuddles. I would definitely recommend reaching out if you are looking for a great sitter!
This is the second time Kaitlin has looked after Lola. The day before our trip, Lola had a problem with her eye, and the vet prescribed drops. Kaitlin reassured us that she was in good hands. She was so patient and loving with Lola. She administered the drops and sent us pictures and updates. Her eye was getting better and better! We were able to enjoy our son's graduation and return home with a happy dog! Kaitlin is the best! I'm so glad we found her!
Emma was wonderful with my pets! My cat is shy around strangers and also is diabetic. He warmed up to Emma quickly, and she gave him his insulin shots without a problem. She kept me updated with pictures and videos. When you're on vacation, seeing them, even in pictures, is important!
Frances provided exceptional care for our two senior dogs, including one recovering from illness. She took detailed notes about the medication schedule before we left, then kept us updated, so we knew she'd gotten her meds. She left our house spotlessly clean - even cleaner than we'd left it! Frances followed all our instructions perfectly and sent updates exactly as requested. We'd absolutely love to have her watch our dogs and home again!
Mellania has pet sit for us before - this time we asked her to also watch our son’s 1-year old dog who can be quite a bit to handle. She did amazing. She is calm, firm with commands, and ensures all pets are safe and happy. We have a high level of trust with Mellania!
