Alessia is good with the kitties and very pleasant to work with. One cat is very shy and she charmed her! Great communication and photos too.

I like Loren a lot. She's down-to-earth and easy to communicate with. My two kitties seemed to feel really comfortable with her from the very first moment. She was conscientious about following my instructions, and I am happy with the care she gave. I trust Loren and will request her services again in the future.

About: Its been 3 years since I’ve last been on Rover due to having a small child so I’m starting out on here all over again ☺️ My daughter is in school and camp now so I have time to help owners who don’t have a flexible schedule make sure their loved animals are taken care of. I have a big dog of my own who stays in the yard most the day or on the couch! He plays great with other dogs & is also a lover. I am a free spirt. I love hiking , trails, or just walking in the neighborhood. I offer hair brushing, bathing animals, nail clipping/grinding, and can brush their teeth if needed. I love taking dogs swimming at lakes and streams, running, and exercising animals are also some other fun things I offer. I’m full of energy & love animals- my favorite animals are horses & dogs. I am a self employed hairstylist so I have time to help since I make my own work schedules. Since I do not have a set work schedule if my services are needed for longer visits I can definitely make that happen. I’m able to start today or tomorrow and am very excited to help with your little family members 🐶🐱Thank you very much Ali Gant I am self employed so my hours are very flexible. I can also run home fast or to your house anytime to let an animal out for their feeding or walk. I have a safe environment and work on safety in others homes. The collar and leash will be put on before the front door opens so no running out the door is possible. Practice sitting before the door opens is a positive start to any walk.

About: I am a dedicated pet sitter with over seven years of experience providing loving care for dogs of all ages, temperaments, and breeds. Growing up with dogs, I have developed a passion for animal welfare at a young age, and have decided to turn this passion into a career, offering peace of mind to pet owners while they are away. I also have a German Shepherd Mix named Paloma, who is a sweet and loving rescue, but can also be anxious and temperamental in certain environments. Therefore, I am well-equipped with the knowledge and understanding required to care for dogs that require extra attention/accommodation. I have a full-time job, but can be available outside of my work hours of 7:30-4:30pm M-F. If needed and communicated in advance, I can be flexible. As an experienced and loving pet sitter, I bring exceptional care to make every visit special in your home, I'll follow your routines, manage any quirks with ease, and shower your dog with the affection they deserve, ensuring their comfort and happiness while you're away.

This was my first time using Rover and Lauren helped walk me through the process and put me at ease. Lauren took wonderful care of my cats. She sent me updates each visit and plenty of pictures. What particularly impressed me though was my [typically] more shy cat really came around and was curious about her. Seems like my cats were impressed, too.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities for years, helping friends, family, and neighbors with feeding, walking, and playtime. As a labor and delivery nurse, I’m extremely attentive, responsible, and calm under pressure, so your pet will always be in safe hands. I have pets of my own, so I understand how important it is to keep them comfortable, loved, and on their routine. I’m also comfortable giving medications if needed and providing updates so you feel at ease while you’re away. I have an old girl (my Dalmatian Layla) who has been on meds for years so I have the experience needed! As a night shift nurse, I’m home and available during the day, which allows me to give your pet plenty of attention, supervision, and care. Your pet won’t be left alone for long periods, and I can maintain a consistent routine with frequent potty breaks, playtime, and rest. I’m available for boarding most days and weekends, with flexibility for drop-ins and walks. My schedule allows me to be attentive, dependable, and fully present for your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fenced yard and a safe, pet-friendly home, along with two friendly, well-socialized dogs. I supervise all interactions closely and can separate or crate pets if needed. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and follow your routines exactly to keep your pet comfortable and stress-free. With my nursing background, I’m detail-oriented, attentive, and committed to providing a calm, loving, and secure environment.

About: I’ve had pets my entire life and have always enjoyed taking care of friends and family’s pets. I’ve taken care of countless dogs and cats including puppies. I work until 3:30 pm on weekdays but I am completely free on the Saturdays and Sundays and have some availability in afternoons after 4 pm and at night. I have experience dog sitting and following instructions on when to feed the pets as well as how often to take them out etc. I always make sure to keep any human food or dangerous objects out of reach and to always keep an eye on them while in the house. On walks I am also very attentive and make sure that the dog is secure in the harness.

About: I have been sitting for years and currently have two dogs of my own. Our older dog had ear cancer so I am familiar with how to care for sick dogs and how to give medicine and the treatments of such nature. I currently work during the work week so I am free most nights during the week do stop ins and then have much more open availability on the weekends! I am very attentive to the needs set out by the parents and make sure I am following instructions! I love taking the pets and walks as it’s good for both me and them! I would love to play and also can be down for a good cuddle as well.

Net was the best dog sitter during our short vacation from home. She left report cards for our two elderly dogs and sent so many pictures. It's nice to be able to leave and know your kiddos will still be cared for! Can't thank her enough.
