Their big yard was fantastic for my energetic Australian Shepherd/Poodle mixes and I had absolutely no concerns about them while I was away.”

Overall great first Rover experience and would happily use them again!”

However, you immediately eased our all nerves and provided us with a sense of knowing Remi our senior shepherd was truly in good hands. Alonni, you can tell you have a passion for animals and truly go above and beyond to ensure they have a home away from home. Before dropping Remi of Alonni, I was truly impressed by your quick response and attention to detail. Your attention to detail and professional continue through the whole duration of Remi’s stay!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for the last 15 years. I have experience with diabetic dogs and senior pets. I also have experience giving shots and medications. I coach part-time in the afternoon/early evening and have a very flexible schedule. I can pet sit on weekdays and weekends and am available for short notice drop-ins and walks. I’m a guest in your pet’s home. My job is to make them feel comfortable, secure, and cared for. I’m patient and will prioritize building a trusting relationship with your pet.
“Elizabeth was wonderful! We did 3 drop in visits and each one was done in a timely manner with all the focus on the kitties. Communication was a breeze and our cats were very comfortable the whole time!”
“Kiera took great care of our two cats (and my mom's two as well) on late notice. They were less needy than usual after we return from our trip.I also really appreciated how she kept the space tidy”
“Des, Thank you so much for taking such good care of Hello during our emergency. You did an excellent job with the fluid injections—you’re such a quick learner and incredibly patient. We truly appreciate all your help. We’ll definitely hire you again in the future as our pet sitter. You’ve done an outstanding job!”
“I do not have the easiest cats. One is super shy and the other just tolerates people. Amanda did a great job with them! She patiently coaxed my shy one out and even got my standoffish one to play. She sent video snippets that showed they were happy and well taken care of. Thank you, Amanda!!”
“Christina was great! Even our shy cat came out to spend time with her. She shared lots of photos with her updates and also helped with non-pet related requests while we were gone.”
“Dawn was so sweet with our kitty, and sent lots of pictures of the two of them together, letting us know he was happy and healthy. We felt very comfortable with her and rested easy knowing our guy was in safe hands. We'll definitely book Dawn again for our next trip!”
“Our cats were so excited to see Taresse every time she came to visit. She played with them, she cuddled them, she ensured they had clean litter boxes, and we couldn’t be happier with how Taresse interacted and loved our girls.”
“Sara took great care of my cat while I was away for my wedding and my cat loved her. She was responsive and reliable and I came home to a clean bowl and litter box.”
“Ana is easily the best cat sitter I've ever hired (and I say that, never having had a bad experience with a pet sitter). She watched our 2 nervous cats and went above and beyond to make sure they were well taken care of. She even did an extra check-in when one of our cats wasn't eating and cleaned up their vomit. Thank you very much, Ana, and we will definitely hire you again.”
“Alexis took amazing care of Mikey. We are new to the area and this was a new experience for us. She made both Mikey and I feel comfortable. Her flexibility and communication were excellent and I loved all the pictures and updates! We will be using Alexis for sure again!!”
“Stephani was great! She took great care of my cat, sent me lots of pictures, and communicated very well! I was nervous as this was my first time leaving my cat with a sitter, but Stephani was fantastic and I will be requesting her the next time I go on a vacation!”
“Lingli took great care of Ferguson! I felt very comfortable during our week away knowing she was dropping in. She was very communicative as well. Thank you so much!”
“Richard is very attentive to the needs of our two Super Senior cats as well as to our very specific instructions for them. Our cats are comfortable in his care. We are grateful for his services.”
“Angela was incredibly thorough in her updates and was attentive in my pet's care. She was also flexible in scheduling and willing to assist with pet care with not much advance notice. I would definitely recommend Angela and am planning to use her services again.”
“Alex was absolutely great! She took great care of our cat when we were away. Camden takes awhile to warm up to people, and Alex was great and patient and we came home to a very happy kitty. Alex also helped take our trash cans up and down when we were gone, which was super helpful. Her daily updates about Camden and pictures were detailed and appreciated! We would definitely hire her again to help out with Camden.”

“Lingli came through for our last minute doggy daycare needs and we are grateful! She was consistently responsive over messages, and was very sweet to our small dog, Gary, during their meet and greet, gently letting him get used to her. He was excited to see her again when we returned for drop off a couple days later. We appreciated the photos of his stay and know he was well looked after.”
“We booked day care with Francine super last minute and she accepted a same day request (on Christmas Eve!!) Our dog had a great time with their 2 dogs, running around in their fenced in back yard and chilling in the house. We would strongly recommend booking with Francine!”
“Ken & Felice were absolutely a breath of fresh air. They clearly love dogs and are excellent hosts. I could tell from their photos, and Charlie’s demeanor at pick up time that he was well cared for and in loving, capable hands. Looking forward to his return and many new furry friendships!”
“Esther and Yi took great care of Eevee. Eevee was a picky and slow eater but Esther ans Yi was very patient and accompanied her to finish her food. Eevee had a great time with their puppies Milk and Peanut! She can’t wait to have her next vacation in Esther and Yi’s house!”
“Danielle was so kind to accommodate us last minute for daycare. She asked plenty of questions to get familiar with my dog’s needs and was even willing to give him water from a plastic cup due to his pickiness. Looking forward to hopefully working with her again!”
“Vanessa agreed to watch my pup at last minute and im so grateful. She even managed to get my extremely anxious dog to warm up to her. Very happy with the service she has provided and plan to drop my pup off alot more.”

“Very pleased with the car and attention to details such as; no doggy poo any where on her lawns, neat organized home environment, easy and thoughtful drop off and pick up of our puppy, lots of pictures shared with us during the times she was caring for our pet. Called a lock smith for me when I locked my keys in my car sitting in her driveway. I was in my car and on the road in just twenty minutes!! Very impressive!”
“I am so happy to find Hao. She took a great care of our dog Loki and kept good communication with us. To be fully prepared and ready to take care of Loki, she even requested a meet and greet in advance. She has taken and shared a lot of photos of our Loki during the stay. She is definitely someone that you can account for taking care of your pets!”
