“Mallory is so nice! She ensured that Kermit was comfortable despite fireworks and a thunderstorm in the same weekend. She sent us updates twice a day to reassure us that he was doing okay.”
“Maya was so great with our two dogs! She’s incredibly trustworthy, kind, helpful, and communicative. Her dog, Mello, is also such a gem. We really appreciated all her help over the long weekend, and would rebook in a heartbeat!”
“To us, Jenn is professional, responsive, attentive, and a great communicator. For our fur baby, she is warm and caring. We are repeat clients and have strong piece of mind working with her. Thank you, Jenn!”
“Emily was great at communicating with us the entire stay, and we could tell from all her updates and pictures that our pups loved having her around. Our flight ended up getting delayed because of the blizzard rolling through Wisconsin this past weekend, and Emily was able to help make sure our pups were let out and fed while we figured out how to get back to Milwaukee. I would absolutely recommend Emily to anyone else looking for expert and friendly care for their pups on Rover. Thank you again!”
About: I’ve been a devoted animal lover and pet owner for as long as I can remember. From dogs and cats to caring for pets with unique personalities and needs, animals have always been a huge part of my life. Currently, I share my home with a lovable, mischievous hound mix who keeps me on my toes and a cat who completely stole my heart. A few years ago, I lost my soul dog, Jersey, and that experience deepened my understanding of the special bond we share with our pets. I know firsthand how difficult it can be to leave them behind and trust someone else with their care. That’s why I treat every pet as if they were my own—with patience, affection, attention, and plenty of love. Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in visit, playtime, cuddles, a walk, or simply a friendly face while you’re away, my goal is to make them feel safe, happy, and cared for. I also know how important peace of mind is for pet parents, so you can expect regular updates, photos, and communication throughout my visits. Because I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that often allows me to accommodate drop-in visits and pet care needs throughout the day. I’m committed to providing dependable, compassionate care and building a trusting relationship with both you and your pets. I look forward to meeting your furry family members and becoming someone you can count on whenever you need a helping hand! 🐾❤️ I work from home and have a decently flexible schedule. I have a young son and pets of my own but thankfully I share these responsibilities with my rockstar husband so I will be able to care for your fur babies. I understand that having a stranger in your home can be a little uncomfortable. I will 💯 respect your space and keep things clean in order for your while you are gone. Please let me know your preferences for my stay.
“Melissa was a HUGE help, stepping in over the holidays for a long house-sitting service when a previous sitter had to cancel last-minute. She is personable and communicative, shared lots updates during the stay, and took good care of our house. Our dog and cat were in great hands, and it felt wonderful to come home to relaxed happy pets. Happy to recommend!”
“Adrianne was a great pet sitter. She confirmed quickly and set up a meet and greet. My Cavapoo gave her hugs and kisses as soon as she arrived. He likes longer walks and she was awesome to explore nearby trails and parks with him. Adrianne is personable and professional.”
“As always, Keisha did a wonderful job taking care of my fur babies while I was out of town! Came home to happy pets and a clean house after a long day of traveling.”
“Patricia was very attentive and detail oriented, and she made sure to cover all of her bases when preparing to care for our pup. She is experienced and professional. I would absolutely hire her again and recommend her to others!”
“Scott was our first introduction to Rover. We really appreciated that he could come on short notice to sit with our 22-week old puppy. We loved Scott's relaxed and gentle way with our dog who is so excited to meet someone new, but is still in manners training in how to greet people. Scott quickly picked up on what we were trying to teach and went along with that routine. Scott arrived on the dot of our agreed time and we plan to ask him to come again!”
About: I've been a pet sitter for more than 10 years, first for friends and family and then as a part-time job while working out of my home. I've had my own pets (dogs, cats, and chickens) and love to look after your senior pets especially. I'm currently limiting my services to dog walking and pet sitting drop ins during the week due to my schedule. Happy to chat more and answer any questions you may have! I currently work part-time and have time to provide drop-in care and walks for your pets on weekdays. I would love to take your pup or pups for walks while you're at work or care for your other small animals while you're away on vacation. I spend plenty of time getting to know your pets and their quirks. I love working on loose leash walking, and will bring toys or use your toys to help your pets work out their energy. I'm familiar with typical dog, and cat care as well as caring for chickens and other small animals. I also have experience administering medications. I'd be happy to provide nail trims as well as other care for your pets when needed.
“Jordan was fantastic! She did a great job housesitting and taking care of our dog and other animals while we were away. Our dog is very anxious when separated from us, and hasn't done well boarding in the past. This was our first experience with a sitter in home, and Jordan made the process super easy! Winston loved her, Jordan kept us up to date with regular communication...I can't say enough good things! We'll definitely re-book with her in the future! Thanks Jordan!”
About: I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for my family and friends for years because I actually enjoy the 'tricky' stuff. From helping my own senior dog with bladder issues to winning over an abused, reactive Rottweiler, I have a lot of heart for pets that need a little extra patience. I’m also totally comfortable with bearded dragons and cats! I’m used to walking dogs in areas without fences, so I’m very careful on the leash and always keep safety first. I’ve had to clean up after bad sitters so I'll make sure your house stays spotless and your pets stay happy while you’re gone! Animals are a huge part of my daily life, so I build my schedule around making sure they feel safe and cared for. I’m currently available Monday-Sunday with Flexible Hours and am always happy to help with last-minute requests or holiday bookings when you're in a pinch. Which is perfect for seniors needing extra potty breaks or reactive pups who need a calm, un-rushed walks. I make your pet's routine my top priority every single day! Safety is Always my top priority, but keeping your pets happy is a close second! Whether I’m hanging out with your cat, dog, or bearded dragon (exc. I stick strictly to the routine you’ve set so they feel totally secure while you're gone. Since I’m used to walking pups in areas without fences, I’m always extra careful to double-check leashes and harnesses before we head out the door. I’m also a bit of a neat freak so I’ll make sure your home is pet-proofed and leave it even cleaner than I found it. I’m a big believer in open communication, so expect plenty of photo updates of your best friends (scales or fur!) so you can relax knowing they’re in great hands!
“Amanda is wonderful! Great communicator and is so thoughtful with each of our individual pups. We have a senior dog and Amanda is very patient and caring with her. We would absolutely hire again.”
About: I’ve been looking after fluffy frens of all shapes and sizes from a young age. My time doing a full house/dog sitting gig was for my grandparents and their French bulldog, Sugar (miss you, Sugs!). Since then I have been the go-to for my friends and family for taking care of their for legged family. I make sure your fury family gets the love and care they need, whether you just have one smol dog or a pack of greyhounds. I currently had a stretch of rough health luck, but my ails are your pups gain! I’m currently on the mend, and it’s going well, but between jobs, so my schedule is wide open. I’ll have the time to give your pups the TLC they deserve! Currently unavailable to board pets at my house, but I will make sure to treat all pets in a safe and caring way. I’ll treat them like a newborn baby, because hey, in a way they are!
“Lexi was great with my particular and somewhat shy senior dog. We planned drop-ins prior to the full weekend, which worked great for Lexi and my Coco to get to know each other a little. Lexi is very responsive and gave updates. I will feel more comfortable taking trips and time away with Lexi caring for my girl!”
“Emily was prompt, respectful, and communicative. She sent pictures and updates and my dog seemed very comfortable and calm when I returned. I highly recommend Emily and will happily book her again in the future if I need a dog sitter!”
About: I am a zookeeper so I absolutely love animals! I’ve had pets my whole life. Currently I have a fish. Just recently my cat passed away, and my dog passed away 2.5 years ago. I’m looking to help others out by watching and taking care of their fur children. I am good at walking, basic training, medicating and snuggling with pets. Most of my experience is watching pets of friends and family. Willing to care for dogs, cats, birds, fish and some other critters. I work 8-5 on a rotating schedule, meaning my off days change weekly. I can check in on pets before and after work and also before bed. I am also willing to stay with pets at your home so they feel secure and someone is with them in the evening and morning. I am free most evenings. I am willing to house sit/pet sit at my client’s house. I will follow routine and instructions for pet care, feeding and walking schedules, and clean up. I am also willing to do house checks to feed, medicate and let out pets for bathroom breaks.
Alcott Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
Second time Melissa has cared for our pups Oakley and Nala (2 labs)! This time with one recovering from ACL surgery. She followed the plan perfectly and the girls absoutley LOVE HER, Daily detailed updates , photos and walk maps were sent. We came home to perfect pups and a spotless home. Thank you Melissa for loving our girls when we were away 💗💗 She is amazing,
Amanda was wonderful. This was the first time we traveled without our puppy and we were a bit apprehensive. However, Amanda eased our concerns. She arrived a few minutes early which signaled a level of reliability that was very welcome. While we were away, Amanda provided regular updates and pictures. As a result, we were able to enjoy our vacation. And our puppy seemed to genuinely enjoy Amanda. We will definitely use Amanda again. We would feel very comfortable leaving our puppy with her.
Absolutely zero negative things to say about Emily! We had a long trip with pretty minimal ability for communication and we felt so confident leaving our pets and home in their care. We received great updates everyday with communication about anything that may be out of the ordinary. Power outages due to storms, slight appetite change in our dog, etc. Felt good knowing someone was there with a vigilant eye. Coming home was easy, with everything exactly as we left it and cleaned so we could just focus on unpacking and unwinding and not litter boxes!
Went on vacation from April 8 - 16 and hired Jenn as a pet sitter at my house. I cannot say enough how nice, thoughtful and caring she was. She took great care of my elderly dog and 2 cats. Jenn got my very shy cat to come out in 1 day. Amazing! She sent pics and notified everyday on how they were doing. I felt as ease being gone. I would definitely hire Jenn again and recommend her to anyone. She left my house just the way it was when I left. I would give her 6 stars if I could Thank you Jenn for taking such good care of my babies ❤️
Cary was an excellent dog sitter! She cared for my dog for 7 days while I was out of the country, and this was my first time being away from my dog. She was very thoughtful about sending regular updates throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. Cary stayed at my home and took great care of both my dog and my space. She kept everything clean and even washed my sheets before I returned, which I truly appreciated after a long day of traveling. It’s clear she genuinely cares and treats your pet like her own. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!
Ashley took absolutely excellent care of our cat while we were out of the country for a week! I knew from the moment she met our cat during our meet and greet that our little girl was going to be in great hands. Throughout the trip, Ashley reached out with check-ins and photos reflecting how well she was being taken care of. She also responded quickly to any messages and went above and beyond watching our place. We (and our cat) look forward to seeing her again in the future!
We can't speak highly enough of Katherine who has watched our house and pets numerous times. She is caring, thoughtful, and provides the pets (dog and 2 cats) with all the attention they need and then some. We came home to a spotless house and felt comfortable/like the pets were in good hands while we were abroad.
Rose was awesome! Our Furry Herd isn't easy, especially with multiple dogs on multiple meds. She handled it all perfectly. The pups liked her very much, even Mayhem, who is sometimes super shy. I appreciated her willingness to take all of this on at the last minute, on a holiday weekend, so that we could go on an impromptu trip overnight. I felt very comfortable that our pups would be well taken care of, and loved that she messaged us with a question. Thanks, Rose!
