Andrea is fantastic! She left our house extremely clean, sent lots of updates, & overall we felt so secure in leaving our dog with her for a long weekend :)

Lisa did a great job. She looked after my cat and two dogs. She stayed at my home while we were gone. First vacation we have been on in a few years. I don't think my dogs missed us. Trustworthy and did as she promised. Would use her again

I asked Shannon to dogsit Reuben on super short notice and we were still able to fit in a meet and greet -and- talk about our dog’s curious habits before I left for the evening. Thank you so much for keeping us up to date with photos and what happened throughout the night! We would definitely book her again!

Another great experience with Jessica. She’s great with my senior dog! Caring for my home and my few plants while away for almost a week. Came back to everything in tip top shape and a happy doggo. Consistent and reliable!

Abby was so great with our two large dogs! Abby house-sat and watched the boys for the entire day/evening, and I could tell when I got home that they'd had fun. She was very tolerant and nice about my quirks and many explanations. I believe she's very trustworthy and has a genuine love for animals. She sent several updates during the day (even a couple pics), which brightened my day and assured me the boys were in good hands. I would definitely have Abby back, and would consider longer stays in the future. Thanks, Abby!

Emily is a great pet sitter! She has taken care of both of my pups and my cat on multiple occasions. Her home is spacious with room for my pups to roam inside and out. She is dependable, kind, and very caring toward my pets.

Nancy came to meet with us twice before we left for vacation to meet our animals and become familiar with our home. She is thoughtful, caring, and dependable. Nancy gave us peace of mind while we were out of the country and cared for our animals and home better than we could have ever imagined possible with being our first time using Rover. Thank you so much!

Mari B did a fantastic job taking care of our Jon Jon. She even made progress in teaching Jon Jon how to play fetch. And as a rescue dog Jon Jon has many difficulties that Madi handled beautifully. And she made sure to keep the rest of the house running smoothly as well. Can’t give Madi B. a high enough recommendation. If you want the dog/house sitting done to perfection, have Madi B. do it. I know we will.

About: Growing up I have always had 2-3 dogs in my home at a time whom I have attended therapy animal training classes with, and now I have my own little furball named Professor Wigglebottom. I have experience working with and handling dogs with leash reactivity (my current little guy is reactive) so that is not an issue for me. I have also been house-sitting dogs for neighbors and various co-workers since the age of 15. Neighbors, friends, family and coworkers have also relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets while they were on vacation or out of town. I am currently working full-time as a Graphic Designer but I am available after 6pm on weekdays and often any time during the weekends for visits. I always take into account the needs of your fur baby, as each dog is different and requires varying different levels of care and attention.

I would highly recommend Maddie as the perfect person to watch your beloved dog. I recently had the pleasure of entrusting my furry friend to their care, and I couldn't have been more pleased with the experience. Throughout the entire time my dog was under their care, she demonstrated exceptional responsibility and attentiveness. They followed all instructions diligently and kept me updated regularly with pictures and messages, which brought me great comfort and peace of mind.

Sidney did a wonderful job house-sitting our 2 kitties. It was our first time using rover so we were a bit nervous, but she was great about communication & giving frequent updates. Our house was even cleaner than we had left it! We would very much recommended Sidney for pet sitting and would use her for future trips.

Jessica worked as an employee of mine at a dog boarding facility. She was easily one of my most reliable and trusted employees. She loves the dogs so much, pays attention to details and noticed of anything was off like not drinking water or eating well. I would trust her to care for my pets and would highly recommend her to anyone!

Stephanie did a great job staying with my two dogs while I was out of town for a few days! She came over to introduce herself and meet the dogs days before the trip. She gave me daily updates and photos of my dogs making me feel better about being away. I'd definitely recommend her to others and hope to use her again in the future!
