“Shaelyn is a positive, friendly, capable person! She definitely spent a lot of valuable time with our kitty, which is what we wanted! Photos and messages were often, making me feel very comfortable with our cat’s care and emotional well being!”
“Mackenzie was fantastic! She is very responsive, communicative and reliable. She sent a ton of photos and our pets received a lot of love : ) She was so nice to make sure the house was clean when we arrived back. We will have her back again.”
“We had a great experience with Stephanie! Our animals seemed happy and well cared for when we got home AND we got detailed updates with LOTS of photos while we were gone 🤗”
“Thank you so much, Shannon, for taking such great care of our pups! We didn’t worry while we were gone, and we know the dogs had a great time and were well cared for!”
“Scott was a wonderful pet sitter. He sent frequent updates, was patient with our pup (this was his first time with a sitter!), and was really respectful in our home. He’s kind, flexible, great with dogs, and we’re grateful for how well he took care of our pup.”
“Donna was truly spectacular with my guys! I’m sure they’d give her 10/5 stars if they could! I was updated daily with pictures and videos of my dogs having fun on local adventures and regular status reports. She was a fantastic housesitter and I know Cogs and Wyatt already are missing her!”
“Naomi was super responsive and great about sending pictures and photos. She made my (high maintenance) pup immediately comfortable and she took great care of him. I highly recommend Naomi!!!”
“Heather is perhaps the most attentive sitter that we have had for Lily. I appreciate how often she gets her out of the house to be able to run around on the property to get some exercise. It’s great that she gets as much playtime as she did especially on good days. The place was kept clean. Heather did have to leave for a few hours every day which she had asked permission in advance and that worked out just fine. Her communication was excellent and I always appreciate getting updates and pictures of Lily. I would have no problem recommending Heather to sit your pet.”
“Lillie took care of our two Poms in our home for over two weeks and she was amazing. Took one of the dogs to a vet appt, send us photos and videos most days, and provided little anecdotes of the dog’s antics. She also kept our home spotlessly clean and even washed sheets and towels and made the bed she used during her stay. Surpassed our hug expectations. Lillie been a trusted Rover dog/sitter for us for years - the housesitting was a first for us and really worked out great. Lillie has our highest recommendation- 5 paws!!!”
“Madison is our dream pet sitter! She had many thoughtful questions when she came over to meet everyone before staying overnight. We felt very at ease having her in our home to take care of our babies. She also sent great updates with pictures which we really loved!”
“Courtney was great house and pet sitting, especially with our two dogs that have very different ages, sizes, and temperaments, which isn’t the easiest. Would definitely have her again. She treated our house like her own and cleaned up well after herself as well, perfect sitter.”
“Alex took great care of our house and fur babies. He communicated with us throughout the day and sent the cutest pictures! We came home to a clean house and very happy babies! Thank you again!!!”
“Truly excellent pet sitter and house sitter. Our cats love Madison and that was evident from day 1. Very high maintenance with diet and meds and Madison handled it all with ease. Highly highly recommend.”
“Both Finnegan and Lucy love Philipp. He took great care of the both the dogs and the house while I was gone. I will definitely look for Philipp next time I need a sitter. Thank you Philipp.”
“Alex took great care of Parker on their overnight stay together. She arrived on time and sent cute pics the next day. Would recommend her. Parker was safe and well cared for. Thanks Alex!”
“Holly did a great job at house- sitting our pup! She was very communicative and we didn’t worry about our dog at all. She even watered our plants for us. We would absolutely call Holly again to sit our dog in the future!”
“Bea was very kind and accommodating about several last minute changes I made and was particularly kind to my senior girl among my crew of three bully breeds (with very different personalities and energy levels) that she took care of. I'm so grateful to know they were in kind hands and the excellent communication Bea had in responding to my questions and keeping me informed.”
“Riley has house sat for us twice this summer while we were away. He has been incredibly communicative and professional, as well as super sweet with the animals! He can handle both the high activity needs of our 5-yr-old pit mix as well as the slower pace of our 18-yr-old cat. We appreciate his reliability and feel very lucky to have found him this summer. Highly recommend!”
“Brian stayed with Leeroy Bku for his second time recently and we really appreciate him and his attention to detail. Brian has been great staying at our house with Leeroy and has even helped us water plants and also with other additional small requests. You can tell he’s a true dog lover and has helped Leeroy manage some allergy/skin irritations while we were out. Thanks Brian!”

Madison South pet parents share their Rover experiences
Amy was amazing. I have never felt so much at ease leaving our boys with anyone before. She sent the cutest videos and photos of them together. They seemed very happy and bonded with her. Not only was she wonderful and caring with our dogs, but she's also a wonderful human. She was great to communicate with and left our home so clean and cared for as well. We've already booked her next stay.
We have had Raphael housesit/petsit for us several times. He is always easy to communicate with, professional and takes great care of our furry family member when we are away. He was very helpful when I needed to set up a complicated schedule on the Rover App.
This young woman was absolutely fantastic! She kept Us updated with notes and pictures the whole Time we were gone. She kept the house neat And tidy and we felt such a relief to come home and know our kitties had been so well loved!! Thank you so so much for all your care of Merlin and Arthur!!
Aiden was very sweet and took care of our fur babies while we were away this past weekend. Their partner helped house sit whenever Aiden had to be at work for 8 hours. The team work between them helped us feel comfortable being away, as well as trusted that our pets were being attended to. Communication was good too. Aiden let us know that our fridge door shelf broke off and shattered, and even sent us a picture. Im glad that was mentioned instead of us finding out once we got back. They sent pictures and updated us about all three of our pets every morning and night, which is exactly what we asked for. I'd recommend Aiden to anyone looking for a great house/pet sitter.
Paloma was absolutely amazing with my high-energy Border Collie! She gave him plenty of walks, playtime, and attention, and it was clear she truly cared for him. When I came home he was happy and tired (the best combo!). I would 100% book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, reliable sitter.
Elinor was very understanding and a great companion to our 7yo cattle dog mix. Our dog gets easily stressed and takes awhile to warm up to new people. Elinor understood the assignment! We got regular updates and felt our dog was in good hands. Would call on Elinor again!
Riley has house sat for us twice this summer while we were away. He has been incredibly communicative and professional, as well as super sweet with the animals! He can handle both the high activity needs of our 5-yr-old pit mix as well as the slower pace of our 18-yr-old cat. We appreciate his reliability and feel very lucky to have found him this summer. Highly recommend!
This is the second time Ethan has stayed with my 2 doggos for a close to a week. They both love Ethan, and were happy to have them stay (well, Percy is really only happy when I'm home, but he was as happy as he GETS when I'm not around). Ethan kept my garden alive for a week during August and the house looks as good or better than when I left it. We will happily have Ethan back again the next time I go out of town.
Miranda was wonderful. She was very attentive to Abby, our Standard Poodle. I believe Abby misses her very much. Yesterday, she was forlorn after Miranda left. Miranda left our home spotless and did our laundry as well. We highly recommend her. We look forward to the next time we travel and will call on her again.
