“Words cannot explain how at peace we were with Gabriella being at our house for 2 weeks and taking care of our fur babies! The boys were well loved and taken care of, the house was spotless and the communication was top notch! Don't hesitate for a single second, she is the best one out there!!”
“Cara was absolutely fabulous! She provided regular updates (including photos and videos!) of our dogs with their statuses while we were out of town! We felt so comfortable our dogs were in good hands.”
“Very communicative! Let me know when there was a problem with one of my girls! Sent cute pictures daily. I felt very comfortable leaving for a long holiday weekend with Mary taking care of my babies!”
“As always, Marsha is an exceptional sitter! She takes wonderful care of our dogs (and home!). She is communicative and attentive! We look forward to booking her again!”
“Natalee was great. She was very professional and communicative. She sent videos and updates regularly and did everything asked of her. Our dogs seemed happy and worn out when we came back. Would book again in the future.”
“Latasha was wonderful! All the cats loved her as soon as they met her. She has a natural talent when it comes to getting to know your pets. She sent pictures of our cats to us everyday on vacation and was super responsive on her phone when we wanted to see our pets. It was such a relief knowing that she was here with them. One of the things I appreciated the most was that when we got here it was as clean as when we left it. She took all the notes and she performed the tasks laid out to her exactly like we did with the cats. She also helped keep them on their schedule by following their feeding times. Latasha played with them which is honestly more than I do sometimes. They may have gotten a little spoiled with all the attention lol. Each day she would send images but she'd also send a little story or observation of the cat. That was nice because it helped us to know that they were acting in their usual ways and not sad that we were gone and missed us. I would 1000% book Latasha again. If you've never had a cat sitter (we hadn't) she will answer all your questions and really set your nerves at ease.”
“Great service! Brad is an excellent communicator, and took great care of our dog and home. He kept me up to date and was always fast to reply. Our house was spotless when we returned and he was very tidy (which was also important to us).”
“Molly did an amazing job taking care of our sweet girl Roxie. She kept us informed of how Roxie was doing, when she would eat as well as send us cute pictures of how happy she was playing with her toys. It was so nice to get her messages and relieved some stress we had when leaving Roxie… especially with her arthritis. This was our first time using Rover and we had a wonderful experience with Molly. We will plan to ask her to stay again on our next out of town trip!”
“Skye, helped me out with my 11mo old Dutch Shepard on extremely late notice and did an excellent job house sitting my K9. Her love for animals and communication throughout the stay is unmatched. Cannot thank you enough. Highly recommend Skye for any of your pet service needs!”
“Our dogs adore Alex and so do we! He is flexible with our schedules and always shows up on time. He is communicative and resourceful. He puts up with our crazy energetic lab puppy and makes sure she is tired out and fulfilled. This time around was his first time watching our dogs at our new house and he figured everything out with very few instructions.”
“Suli house sat and watched our Blue Heeler Tag for 10 days. Tag was happy, and calm when we got home. We were kept updated. Suli left the home clean like we left it and even washed her sheets and watered our plants. We would recommend Suli and will definitely use her again.”
“I left my pups for a week and Maddelyn stayed and took care of them like they were her own! Super trustworthy, checks in often, and is very communicative. I will 100% recommend her to anyone and will certainly be using her again!”
“We had an amazing experience with Kristin! They provided exceptional care for our dogs while we were away, keeping us updated with photos and messages. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. Thank you, Kristin, for your excellent service!”
“Chloe took wonderful care of my Frenchie and cat! Her communication was great, she left my house in impeccable shape and my babies were happy and healthy when I got home. Would definitely book her again!”
“Emily was great. She was able to help me out last minute for the holidays and everything went amazing. She updated me frequently with photos. Came home to happy pups! I would and will definitely use her again.”
“Kate is the only person I use to take care of my 3 dogs. I think I’ve used her about 6 times now, all for multiple days. They all have different personalities and one is scared of people but loves Kate. She’s responsible, communicates well, and always leaves my house better than when I left!”
About: Over the past 20 years I’ve owned and cared for dogs (both puppies and elderly), cats, reptiles, rodents, and invertebrates. I’ve rescued a pup and trained a couple high energy dogs, one with a great deal of anxiety and fear aggression.I have experience cat sitting for various out of town owners over the years I currently go to school part time so my schedule is pretty flexible right now. I have a one year old pup who is very active and would love to make some new friends if the opportunity arises. I love to stay active, spend time outdoors, and meet new animal friends. Providing pet care is a job I was made for. Whether in my own home, or in a clients home, I can guarantee that your pet will get the care they are accustomed to. I am a detail oriented mother myself and understand the value of knowing your instructions will be followed and your babies will be safe.
“My dogs know and love Samantha and Christopher. I use them every time I leave town and feel good knowing my dogs are in such good hands. My house always looks just how I left it too. They’re the best!”
“Eleanor stayed with my Pom for a week while I was out of the country, and she was fantastic! I came home to a happy doggie and a neat and tidy place. Eleanor sent regular updates and pics through the week so I didn’t worry while I was away. I definitely recommend her services!”
“We had Mallory stay overnight at our house with our senior Persian. Before her stay, she came over for a meet and greet so everyone felt comfortable. It was apparent that she is a very kind and caring person. During her stay she kept us updated with how things were going and pictures. She cleaned up a couple of puking incidents and let us know that Marigold had in fact puked, had been sneezing and hadn’t had a bowel movement. These updates were truly appreciated and I was relieved she was paying attention to things that seemed out of the ordinary. Marigold routinely potties on potty pads and Mallory kept up with those changings which, in my opinion, is above and beyond kitty care. Additionally, Miss Marigold tends to yowl in the nights as she has aged and has reduced vision in one eye. Mallory was patient with those night time needs and brought her back to bed with her to comfort her. Overall, I appreciate the above and beyond care and I recommend her to anyone who has kitties!”

Alex is an excellent sitter. He communicated with us daily with photos and updates. We seemed to have a good rapport with him and felt very comfortable leaving Riley and our house under his care. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for the best!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Jani! She took incredible care of our sweet Maggie while we were out of town, and I am so grateful. Maggie had been quite sick with pneumonia in the weeks leading up to our trip, and although she had recovered, we were still watching closely for any returning symptoms. When Maggie suddenly started vomiting and stopped eating, Jani was absolutely amazing. She kept me updated every step of the way and didn’t hesitate to take Maggie to the emergency vet, where she received the care she needed and is thankfully doing much better. As you can imagine, being so far away when Maggie wasn’t feeling well was incredibly stressful. But knowing she was in Jani’s loving, capable hands gave me tremendous peace of mind until I could get home. Jani is not only responsible and attentive, but genuinely caring. She treated Maggie as if she were her own, and that means the world to me. I would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their furry family member!
A great person and a dog lover. We felt so comfortable leaving our house and dog in the care of Becky. Gus can be a lot clingy, and she sent pictures of all his attempts to sit in her lap and receive extra attention. The house was clean, nothing was amiss. I would definitely work with her again, and so would Gus!
Kayla was absolutely amazing with my two boys, Milo and Sammy! From the beginning, she made me feel completely comfortable and gave me such peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. She was loving, attentive, dependable, and kept me updated throughout their time with her. One of my dogs takes medication and requires a little extra attention, and Kayla handled everything perfectly. She even kept a close eye on him after he got into something he shouldn’t have and made sure to update me on how he was doing. It can be really hard to find someone you genuinely trust with your pets, but Kayla is truly a gem. My boys were happy, loved, and well cared for, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I will absolutely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their fur babies! 💙🐶🐶
Jeena was very communicative and provided updates/photos while I was away. She asked all the right questions during meet and greet before I went on vacation. My senior dog is definitely needy with walks and medications throughout the day. Jeena was so sweet with her and my house was just the way I left it. I would definitely re-book.

Bridget was wonderful with our dog who is not the easiest fella. He is rambunctious and she handled him well. Kept us updated with just the right amount of pictures, took him for walks several times daily. She left the house sooo clean and communicated clearly throughout the week. Definitely plan to call her again.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Mackenzie walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Mackenzie maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Mackenzie choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
