“Jennifer was wonderful! She took such good care of my pets, and she sent me pics and updates on them while I was gone. She let them snuggle with her- even my big guy!! She also washed all the bedding and dishes before she left on the last day. I’ll definitely have her take care of my pets again!”
“Destiny was absolutely fantastic and took great care of my doggie and even my ferret for 7 whole days! She was consistently in contact with me and went above and beyond while also meeting my unique circumstances with doing house showings while trying to sell my house. Definitely book with her, she’s the best!!”
“Suzanne was great with my new puppy. She arrived on time and was here from 6 am - 4:00. She sent text and photos of my 13 week old puppy. She walked and played all day”
“This was our 2nd time having Sheila stay with our hyper and energetic pit mix. She was responsive, clean, and every helped with other household things (skimmed pool, watered garden). Our pup takes medication which was given as prescribed. Sheila sent photos and updates and I felt very at ease knowing our house and pup were in good hands. We will definitely be using Sheila again and recommend her to anyone.”
“Katie was great taking care of our dog while we were on vacation. She showed up when she said she would, spent some quality time with him, and sent plenty of pictures and status updates. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”
“Emily was a great sitter! She house sat for us over the holiday weekend and I came home to a very happy dog :) She was great with communication (and left the house very clean!) would definitely work with her again and recommend. Thank you!”

“Lux did a fantastic job watching my senior pup while I was away. He kept in touch daily with updates & photos to show my dog was in good hands. He was also flexible to accommodate my living situation & my dog’s needs. AND he left my place spotless after — so nice to come home to that!! Would definitely book again!”
“We were happy to find Brooke. She took great care of Tucker while we were away, she sent us pictures and updates twice a day, and left the house in great condition. We would definitely hire her again.”
“100% would recommend. Very personable, and handled a tornado warning like a pro while we were away. Sia and Lizzie loved her and are looking forward to her next visit!”
“Taylor was absolutely amazing from the beginning. I had some specific needs for my wedding night, and she made sure my 2 babies were on time to the cocktail hour where they made an appearance for pictures. I have an Aussie who is slow to warm up to new people, and he took to Taylor right away. It’s so comforting and reassuring knowing we have someone in the area that I can trust my dogs with, and who love Taylor in return.”
“Ariel was fantastic! Couldn’t say anything better. We’ve used multiple people from Rover to watch our pups and she’s outshined all of them. We came home to an even cleaner house than what we left, happy dogs, and even Christmas music left on for them when nobody was home.”
“Courtney was fantastic with my four and a half month old puppy Nutmeg. She stayed at my home with her and when I came home after a full day out Nutmeg was going back and forth between us for pets, which speaks very highly of how much she liked her. The next day Nutmeg was still tired and sleepy most of the day after having all sorts of adventures with Courtney. We would both happily have her back!”
“Jared was very attentive with our dogs. He obviously cares deeply for and about animals. They got a ton of exercise and he was very communicative about how they were doing while we were away. Provided great peace of mind. Thanks for everything”
“Pamela was awesome! Sent lots of pics of our babies and spent tons of quality time with them!!!! Great communication. Will definitely reach out to her the next time we need a house/pet sitter!!!!”
“Lauren was so great housesitting with our cat and elderly dog over the weekend. She communicated well the whole time and left the house in great shape. Thanks for taking such good care of our ladies!”

Southgate pet parents share their Rover experiences
Ariel did a great job taking care of my anxious dog, Reba. She sent a lot of pictures and had great communication about how Reba was doing as well as when she had to leave and when she was back. Reba was having a hard time with me being away, but Ariel was patient with her. I also came back to a clean apartment - washed dishes and towels, which was great. This was my first time using Rover, and Ariel put me at ease while I was away. Highly recommend!
Sage was wonderful with my elderly dog Lucy who has trouble getting around. She came over for a meet and greet before her weekend stay, took terrific care of Lucy during a heat wave, communicated often and sent photos, and left my home very neat and clean! So appreciative for Sage and her loving care of Lucy!
Suzanne was wonderful. She gave me confidence that our senior dog would be well-cared for. Arthur is a picky eater and requires medicines (pills) twice a day. It can be challenging to get him to take them. Suzanne went above and beyond and purchased a special treat that Arthur was willing to take with his meds. I can’t recommend her highly enough.
Amber was amazing! She truly saved us during an emergency when we needed a sitter on very short notice. She was incredibly flexible, kind, and reliable, taking great care of our home and our two pups, Max and Benji. She sent regular photo updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. We came home to happy dogs and a spotless house I highly recommend her! Thanks Amber we will definitely see you again
