House Sitting in Sherman Terrace, Madison, WI

“Katie was fantastic with my dog, who really seemed to take to her and wasn't anxious as he sometimes can be in new settings with new people. Katie sent frequent updates and photos, always seemed to have my dog's best interests in mind and she quickly adjusted to some unavoidable last-minute changes in the booking. She really helped me out in a challenging situation, and I wouldn't hesitate to book her again.”

“Louisa and her daughter did a great job of communicating with me, though their stay was short. My cat loved the attention they gave her. Her coat was beautifully soft and clean from all the brushing. I would definitely schedule them again when I am out of town.”

“Salem did a great job taking care of my two dogs. They stayed over at my house (cared for the dogs in my home while I was gone multiple days) and left things in good shape. They are super responsive, and sent me lots of photos and updates so I could see how everything was going. I would definitely recommend them!!”

About: Experienced caring for dogs of all sizes, along with house cats, rodents and reptiles. Particular experience with medium and large size dogs who are anxious/reactive. Rates lowered while I establish myself on Rover. I work from home, so your dog will get a lot of attention when I care for them (and they'll probably get a nickname or two). Walks, bathroom breaks, visits to the dog park, and lots of pets and ear scratches all fit into my daily and weekly schedule with ease. I have a lot of experience with anxious dogs in particular, so am used to reading what a dog needs and wants with a close eye. I take care to make sure that a dog is comfortable with me, that I respect their boundaries, that I respond to their needs, and that we remove ourselves from any situation that might upset or overwhelm them. I often ask a pet owner for details about their dog's usual routine, any particular habits they have, their behavior on leash, and what gives them comfort. This helps me better respond to what the dog is sharing about their needs.

“Hannah was wonderful to work with! I have a very anxious dog who doesn’t like new people, but Hannah knew how to handle her. She was very patient with her and they ended up getting along well. Hannah was also very responsive and communicative. I would definitely trust her to sit my dog in the future!”

“Robert was our first experience here at Rover and he was great to work with. He offer to come to our house earlier to meet with our guys, even though our booking was kinda last minute. Our dogs suffers from separation anxiety and are very vocal, but Robert was very patient with them and won them over. We would definitely recommend him to anybody looking for somebody reliable to watch over their pets and we would love to work with him again!”

“Tessa was great at communicating with us and always responded quickly. She took our pup on walks and played in the backyard with him. She stayed overnight with him and we couldn’t be any happier. Would highly recommend for others!”

“Sophie was amazing with my dog, Skye, who is a rescue husky (and is therefore VERY anxious)! Sophie made her feel at ease really quickly and I could tell how happy Skye was from the pictures she sent! I missed her a lot but knew she was having fun and making a new friend in Sophie! I will absolutely book her again and recommend her VERY highly!”

Our pup absolutely adores her—they got along so well! Our whole family truly appreciates Jordyn’s wonderful care and highly recommend her services. Thank you, Jordyn!”

“Lauren and Nia were great with our pets and us! This was our first time using pet sitters and they really helped put us at ease through the process. With picture and video updates we knew our dogs and cats were having a good time and being well cared for. Highly recommend using them!”

“Maddie was an excellent dog sitter to our three dogs, two huskies and a Jack Russell. The pictures sent during our trip helped us feel at ease knowing they felt safe. Plus, her extra effort walking the pack above and beyond was amazing. When we arrived home, they were so relaxed almost like we hadn’t been gone! Even our one dog who is anxious was very quick to settle in like no time had pass. We would recommend Maddie to anyone!!”
