Natalie is incredible! I can't say enough wonderful things about how patient and caring she was taking care of our very shy dog. After a short time, they were best friends. She was so easy to communicate with and made sure to update us regularly. She also took incredible care of our house while we were gone. Would not only highly recommend Natalie to others but also look forward to having her care for our dog next time.

Aliyah watched my four pets (2 cats and 2 dogs) for 6 days while I was out of state and she was amazing! Some of my pets are elderly and have some medical issues. Aliyah followed all my instructions and went above and beyond when there was a little bit of an issue towards the end of the vacation (just dogs being dogs, nothing Aliyah did wrong or could have prevented). I will absolutely utilize her services as long as she offers them!

Dahlya house sat for us over the holidays and took great care of our cat and new kitten! We came home to a clean house, with happy kitties whose box was clean and they were well fed. This was our first time working with Dahlya, and we would definitely book again. She was reliable, provided regular updates, and kind.

Bryan was amazing with my baby Sage! I literally just rescued her a week prior. She was heavily malnourished and untrained but full of love! When most Rovers would say no to a newly rescued pup, Bryan came to the rescue!!!! He sent pics of her and gave me updates, he had no problem calling or texting with questions. He is a saint and I couldn’t have asked for a better Rover!!

I can’t say enough good things about Corraly! She’s been an absolute lifesaver for me and Cloud. From day one, they showed so much care, patience, and a genuine love for dogs that I felt completely at ease leaving my pup in her hands. Cloud always comes back happy, well-exercised, and honestly a little extra spoiled. She goes above and beyond to make sure my dog’s routine is followed, and they send me the cutest updates and photos, which truly puts my mind at ease.

About: With over 10 years of hands-on pet care experience, I provide calm, consistent care tailored to each pet’s needs. I specialize in hypoallergenic breeds, senior pets, anxious animals, structured walks, routine consistency, medication administration, and maintaining clean, low-allergen environments. I follow instructions closely and communicate clearly so pets feel safe and owners feel confident. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine as a student. I structure my schedule to allow flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting while ensuring each pet receives focused, unrushed attention. I’m reliable, punctual, and responsive, making it easy to coordinate care around your needs. Safety and trust are my top priorities. In clients’ homes, I follow all care instructions exactly, secure doors and gates, respect household rules, and maintain a clean environment. I’m mindful of hypoallergenic needs, use fragrance-free products when requested, and monitor pets closely for changes in behavior, appetite, or comfort. I communicate promptly and treat every home with care and respect. In my home I sweep daily, use pet-friendly and fragrance free products to freshen up the home. I live alone and am able to keep all tempting items out of your pets reach (e.g have a garbage can that locks, keep bathroom doors closed).

About: Growing up I always loved caring for and spending time with many cats and dogs my family had. Today I live with my cat and my golden retriever. I work full-time from 7am-3pm Monday through Friday. Fridays are typically shorter days for me so I can give your pet extra care and attention through the weekend! I am fully comfortable caring for animals in your home. I am familiar with typical behaviors such as crating and feeding, and if your pet has other needs please just let me know and I will accommodate!

Amazing! Anh watched my dogs for 6 days. My dogs were so calm when I got home after being showered with love the whole time I was away. Much calmer than they usually are after boarding. They love Anh so much! Anh went above and beyond - she brought in packages, she left my place so clean, she sent regular pics and updates including about who was eating and how my stress-licker was doing, and she was such a prompt communicator at all stages (before and after). She even checked to make sure I’d arrived back home to make sure the dogs were good. It’s so nice to find someone so thoughtful that you can trust with your home and your babies for almost a week!

I am a first time Rover user, and was for a long time very wary of allowing strangers to take care of my fur babies. Roy, unequivocally, is the reason this site works. Roy communicated often, thoroughly, and was even patient when we had app difficulties and my communication lapsed. Roy took care of my two dogs and one cat and provided stimulation and lots of cuddles. We came home to a house that was pristine and three happy and healthy pets. As I told Roy personally, having the peace of mind to actually enjoy the vacation is nearly invaluable. We are very thankful to Roy and will definitely be booking again should the time come!

Absolutely incredible sitter!** I booked Trina F. over the Thanksgiving break (Nov 26–Dec 1), and her service was truly amazing from start to finish. She checked in constantly, sent regular photo and video updates, and always made sure I knew my fur baby was happy, safe, and well cared for. Her communication was fast, friendly, and reassuring — exactly what you hope for when leaving your pet with someone. I could tell she genuinely cared and treated my pup like her own. I came home to a relaxed, happy dog and a spotless space. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Trina went above and beyond, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again. Highly, highly recommend!
