“Natalie tackled the task of watching our 5 animals in our home while we were on vacation. I’m a bit of a nervous wreck when it comes to our fur babies but I fully trust Natalie and can tell she absolutely loves animals! She did a wonderful job and we will absolutely be rebooking her for our next trip!”

“She was amazing, was able to book her last minute and she was very good with communication. She sent photos and videos while she was over watching our dog and even left a note! Would highly recommend and will definitely be using her again!”

“This was our first time using Rover and fortunately we were very lucky to have found Lillian. She watched our two cats for 11 days, whilst staying at our house. She eased any worries we had about leaving them for such a long time, sent us daily updates and pictures, and kept the house tidy. I would hire her again in a heartbeat and recommend her to anyone who has some separation anxiety from their fur babies and needs a dependable, passionate individual to care for them while you're gone.”

“Our pets love CK! He gave them lots of attention and communicated well with us during our overseas trip. We found our home to be in excellent condition upon our return. We will definitely reach out to CK in the future.”

“It was our first time using Rover and we had a great experience! Ericka sent regular pics and updates. When we got home our dog was happy and content. When we’ve had to use something more like daycare in the past, he just gets really stressed and barely eats. We will be using rover again in the future for sure.”

“Evan was great! Very good with handling Delilah and providing updates on her as well as not being afraid to ask clairfying questions for things I forgot to mention in her care plan”

“Heather was absolutely amazing from her meet & greet many months ago to the end of her stay last week. Our sassy senior poodle can be a little grouchy & a picky eater, but he warmed up to her so quickly. She followed all instructions for his care and the care of our home perfectly and then some - she really went above & beyond. Her updates and photos were super cute & made us feel at ease. We returned to everything just as we had left it, and most importantly, a very happy dog. Thanks Heather!!”

“Milica is incredibly knowledgeable about pet care, and did an excellent job of caring for my parrot and senior dog. She is highly responsive, and handled my pet’s special needs with ease.”

“My dogs were taken care of excellently! I got lots of photos and it was very clear that my entire pack (which is a crazy pack both in size and energy 🤣) was very happy! Can't recommend these two enough! Thanks so much!”
“Wallis did an amazing job taking care of Olivia. My cat came down with a UTI right before I had to go out of town. Wallis kept me updated on her progress, and was very communicative and helpful when Olivia gave us a little scare and had to go to the vet. Olivia is doing very well now, and I’m really grateful that Wallis took such good care of her.”

“Matthew stayed at my house with my dog and he did an excellent job. My pup got all his walks in and the comfort of being home. Matthew was responsible and respectful. He communicated clearly and sent pictures throughout the weekend. I hope he is available next time I travel and need sitting services!”

“Lyla went above and beyond for our two dogs (mini poodle and pitbull mix) while we were away for a long weekend. She came to meet them a few days before we left and took them on a walk so they could acclimate to her. She kept us updated with messages and pictures, took them on two walks per day, did tricks with them, and kept them safe and entertained the whole weekend. We'll absolutely be booking with her again!!”

“She was wonderful with our dogs while we were gone for the weekend. Our one dog even warmed up to her pretty much instantly and that dog never likes new people. I really appreciated all of the photo updates and the way she made sure to understand and give our fur babies the same treatment we give them ourselves, if not better. We won't hesitate to continue booking her if she's available in the future.”

“Jayne took great care of our dog and bunny when we were away overnight! The pets were happy and the house looked great when we came home. We will be happy to have her sit for us again in the future.”

“David was awesome! Very communicative and took awesome care of our big dog for a week. He left the house cleaner than it was when we left. We will definitely love to have him take care of our dog again. Peace of mind knowing your dog is well cared for on vacation is amazing!!”

“Absolutely amazing! Nikki surpassed every hope I had for a dog sitter. My dog Charlie was absolutely the happiest dog. She sent pictures and videos and he was so well taken care of. I will would recommend her to absolutely everyone”

About: I have a deep love for animals especially since I have a 10 year old schnauzer back home in Florida who I miss every day. Being around pets again brings me joy and comfort, and I always strive to give that same feeling back to the animals I care for. I treat every dog like my own; with love, patience, and attention to their unique needs. I also genuinely enjoy walking outdoors, so your pup will always get the exercise and fresh air they deserve. Whether it’s energetic playtime or gentle care for seniors, I’m here to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I love going on walks every day, especially in the spring/ summertime. So taking dogs along just makes those moments even better. Since I work as a competitive gymnastics coach in the evenings, my mornings and afternoons are wide open for drop-ins, walks, and quality time with pets. It’s the perfect balance of movement, fresh air, and furry companionship! Whether I’m caring for pets in my client’s home or dropping in for a visit, I focus on making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I take time to bond with each pet through play, cuddles, or just calm companionship. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family, always making sure they’re happy, exercised, and well cared for while you’re away.

Madison was absolutely amazing with our dog Tato! She was very communicative the entire time from before the booking to during and on our way home. She completely catered to our his needs and made us feel very comfortable leaving our fur baby with her! I already booked with her again!

There is no rating high enough for Sarah. From pre-booking to the home visit, to watching our home and our fur babies while we were on vacation, Sarah was amazing. Her situation was unique that in addition to taking care of our adult cats, we asked her to take care of a (somewhat friendly) mama cat and her 5 week old kittens. Sarah graciously offered her time for 24/7 care. And of course, just when we thought all was going smoothly, a hornet appeared in our finished basement which is unusual. This is where mama and babies are located. Then another one appeared - VERY unusual. When the third one appeared, not so far from the kittens, Sarah sprang into action and, together, we figured out a safe solution to draw any potential bees inside the home to outside the home. Sarah was a real trooper and took care of the home and pets like they were her own. No more bees appeared and life returned to “normal”. Well, as normal as can be for a home with cats and kittens. I can vouch for Sarah and she will be our first choice for future house and pet care needs. Sarah is friendly, trustworthy, and an excellent communicator and our fur babies loved her.

Sarah did a great job watching my pups and my house! She followed all safety precautions to make sure my crazy street dog didn’t escape and was patient through the fact my huskies were blowing their coat and my groomer cancelled my appt last minute. My house was exactly how I left it and my dogs were well cared for. I highly recommend!

Olivia was WONDERFUL with our girl (2.5 yo Staffy, LeiLei). Through the regular pictures OIivia sent us over the course of our two and a half week trip, we could tell LeiLei was healthy and happy which enabled us to enjoy our trip without any worries. Olivia also took great care of our house and left everything spic and span, and in perfect condition on our return. We will absolutely rebook with Olivia next time we have plans to go away.
