“Alyse was absolutely amazing with our cat when we went away on a little getaway. She stopped in twice a day to feed and gave her plenty of love. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone and will be on the lookout for her for our next trip”


“We weren't expecting to find such a perfect person to take care of our fur children! Isabelle saved us from having to board our dogs last minute after a friend bailed on us! It's my first time using Rover and I cannot describe the peace of mind that Isabelle brought us. I was hesitant because I normally introduce my dogs to their caretaker waaay beforehand, but Isabelle made our dogs feel perfectly safe in their own home and I can't express my gratitution enough! Thank you kween!”


About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I can remember! Growing up I had a Black Lab Golden Retriever mix, and I would take him on walks, feed him, and play with him every day. I’ve also done lots of volunteering at the Juneau Animal Rescue to help with walking the dogs and playing with them. This past summer I also cared for a senior Chihuahua. I love animals of all ages and sizes, and can’t wait to meet your pet! I currently have a flexible schedule! I am available to provide pet care on Sundays anytime after 12:00 pm, Tuesdays anytime after 2:30 pm, Wednesdays anytime after 11:00 am, and some Thursdays after 2:30 pm! I can also be available on Saturdays if needed! In an environment where I provide pet care I like to ensure and fun and supervised environment! I love playing fetch, tug-o-war, going on walks/runs, and accommodating any other needs for your pet! I am always open to trying any activities or care that works for you and your pet!

“Brooke was an exceptional sitter for our two cats during a week-long vacation. It was our first time using Rover so we had some skepticism but that is no longer the case!

“Lauren was excellent! She was very quick to respond when we made our initial inquiry. Prior to our trip, she came and met our dog and we were very impressed. Our dog is 14 years old and has a few age related health issues. Lauren came to the house twice a day and was very comfortable taking care of her. She did an excellent job with: feeding a picky eater, exercising, bathroom breaks and providing medications. Lauren sent very detailed reports each time that she came to the house and it allowed us to have complete peace of mind on our trip. When we arrived home our dog was happy, moving around well and in very good shape! Lauren is very professional and we highly recommend her to anyone! We will definitely use Lauren in the future.”

About: I have been taking care of fur babies for what seems like forever. I will take care of your baby with the utmost of care and love. I have experience with crate training, working with pups on how to walk on a leash, administering medications, and cleaning litter boxes. I also believe that communication is key so I will give updates and you can text me anytime you need get an update. Your baby will be taken care of while you are away. I work Monday through Friday. I can check on your pet once I get off and I am available on the weekends. It is just best to get in touch with me and we can work out what schedule works out best. I live in an apartment complex so I would walk your dog on a leash and there is an area for dogs to play if that is something that is in interest to you. If I am at your home, I will make sure the dog is taken out when needed, fed and given water when needed, and the litter box is clean. I can also administer medications or vitamins if needed.

About: I am a veterinary student beginning this Fall at UGA, and also have been a veterinary assistant locally for the past 3 years.

I have dog-sat for the veterinarian I work for, and many friends! I will be in veterinary school with a full-time schedule during the week. I am happy to provide morning and evening checks, but a 3rd visit is not guaranteed during the week. I am very available on weekends! I won’t be providing care in my home, however, will provide gentle care in my clients homes. I have set a radius close to my own house, so there will be minimal use of anything in yours other than caring for your pet!

I do not offer overnights in my house/others homes! I offer walks and drop-ins for cats and dogs, and can drop by mornings/afternoons/evenings to check on your fur babies!
