“Maja did amazing job watching my two kittens. They were very well taken care of and happy with her company. Maja sent really cute pictures and detailed notes about her drop ins. Will def connect with Maja in the future. Thanks so much Maja!!”
“Carly & Kendric did a fantastic job taking care of our three kitties, and last minute, I might add. One of our cats requires medicine twice a day, and they had no problem with that. They took a ton of notes, sent us a lot of photos everyday, and didn’t hesitate to text me if there were any questions, or concerns. I’m so thankful to have found reliable sitters, and will most definitely be using them again!!!”

She was very communicative and quick to respond and I appreciated that she didn't hesitate to ask for clarification/details-- it was clear she wanted to take the best possible care of my girls.

About: I have grown up my entire life around pets and animals of all varieties. Dogs, cats, Parakeets, and even hamsters. I have learned and grown to love and care for animals because I view them as family, not just pets. I have walked dogs and have house sat for many years and am considered experienced with most forms of care and service to pets such as dogs and cats I work a full time job as a social studies educator where I teach seventh grade through 12th grade world, history and government classes. Teaching is my absolute passion and I love working with kids of all ages To help guide them towards helping them become better versions of themselves every single day! Teaching may be my passion, but I love working with animals on the side when I have spare time. I am free on weekends, most evenings, and free almost the entire summer. I am easily and readily available for evenings and even summers to take care of your furry friends while you may be away for longer periods of time! I currently live in a single bedroom apartment with only one furry firmed if my own. He is a 6 year old American Short-Hair who is the sweetest of kitties and my entire world. I adopted him when he was just a month old and he has been with me his whole life. My apartment is located next to nearby parks and grassy areas for walks and exercise. My apartment is also smoke-free and is in a pet-friendly neighborhood with quiet streets and friendly neighbors.
“I can’t say enough about the wonderful job Allison did caring for our two cats. This was the first time using Rover (or any service like this) and I was wary of having someone other than a friend come check on our animals. That wariness disappeared immediately upon interacting with Allison. She checked on our cats and reported back to us like clockwork every single day we were gone. She went above and beyond to make sure they felt loved, and that our house was in great shape when we returned — even cleaning up accidents and litter on the floor. My mind was at ease the entire trip knowing Allison was keeping an eye on the place. Would rebook in a heartbeat — I actually think one of our cats is going to miss her!!”
