“Our family highly recommends Emma! She did really well and beyond our expectations with our big dogs. She responds very quickly and sends updates during the day. Which were really important for us. We felt really at ease knowing that she was the one watching our dogs and staying at our house. We actually booked her for another sitting schedule! :)”
“First time that Amanda has taken care of my rabbits and everyone involved seemed to enjoy it. She was able to help me last min and followed my posted directions. Will contact her again next time I need help.”

“Great first experience with Rover and Hailey. Everything looked great when we got home. Hopefully our animals become more accustomed to her with future visits, which we definitely will have.”

“You can immediately tell on meeting her that Emi is a special human. She went above and beyond during a meet and greet to make my dog happy, getting on the floor and going slowly. My dog was severely abused so she is ridiculously afraid of everything. She still allowed Emi to pet her a tiny bit and more importantly let her take her outside. Emi sent me pictures of the dog looking plenty happy. It’s such a relief to know there’s someone like her to help my little doggo.”

“I felt really good about having Leah come in to provide care for my cat Lizzy. We did a meet and greet prior to the scheduled care and went through Lizzy's routine and where everything was. It takes a little while for Lizzy to warm up to someone new, and it seems that she did warm up to Leah. Really appreciate the pictures that Leah sent of Lizzy while I was gone. Very happy with her care.”

“Hailee dropped in on our cat while we were out of town to refill food and scoop the litter box. She responded quickly to all messages and completed everything as asked! We would definitely seek her help again.”

“Quinn did a wonderful job hanging out with our Jordy while we were out of town. She was on time for all drop-ins and followed all of our requests pertaining to Jordy. We could tell Jordy really enjoyed spending time with Quinn. We will definitely be rebooking with her in the future :)”

About: I have a flexible work schedule Monday - Friday and also an empty nester so lots of free time. I have been around dogs my entire life both large and small. I like to walk and would enjoy a walking buddy! Both long and short walks are ok with me... I have a flexible work schedule Monday - Friday and off on the weekend. I am a empty nester so lots of free time to spend with your pet. Having an initial meet and greet would be great for you to get to know me and for us both to ask those initial questions and address your pets needs to ensure safety.
“Cortlyn was awesome! She was so comfortable with Zeke! With him being reactive I always get a little nervous with leaving him with other people but I felt he was in the best of hands!! Thank you for taking care of our boy!!”

“I had an absolutely wonderful experience with our pet sitter, Emily! She is attentive, caring, and made our fur babies feel right at home. Our pets were happy and relaxed when we returned, and we received regular updates and photos while we were away. I couldn't be more grateful for her excellent service and will definitely be booking Emily again for our next trip. Highly recommended!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats of all kinds for around 10 years. Neighbors, friends, and family have all relied on me to keep their pets in safe hands and loving care while they are away. I am a true animal lover and pets brighten my day! I am a college student studying elementary education and on summer break! I have plenty of free time and love to give your furry friends. Whether it’s playing outside, going for a walk or cuddles I am there when you need me! As a cat mom and experienced dog walker and sitter I value care, love, comfort and communication. I will be attentive to your pets needs and love to send photo updates right to your phone! I know how important our furry friends are so it is my mission to make sure you and your bestfriend are happy and comfortable!
About: I adore dogs. I often invite my neighbor's Chihuahua to visit my pets, and he frequently stays overnight. I have two fenced-in yards, where my dogs are able to run, explore, and luxuriate in the sun. I am a teacher (20+ years), so I understand the importance of taking care of others and showing compassion. I am honest and professional, and I view my responsibilities with great seriousness. My dogs are precious to me, and yours would be also. I have a modest, safe home with lots of space for playing, plenty of toys, and dog beds and chairs where the dogs can rest. I make my own dog food because I value high-quality nutrition. I go to bed early, and I'm up early. I especially enjoy getting outside with my dogs. I used to drive for Mobile Mutts, a wonderful organization that transports dogs from Cordell, GA to the Twin Cities, MN. It's really important to me that my dogs receive lots of exercise and stimulation. I get them outdoors whenever I can, visiting nearby parks, where they can run around and expl I have two fenced-in yards and two small dogs who will be happy to play with your baby. They enjoy scouting, chasing, basking in the sun, and occasional barkfests.
About: At any point growing up, we never had less than two dogs, one cat, and one bird (Umbrella Cockatoos). My mother has volunteered at local animal shelters for years while continuing to do so today. Her genuine passion for caring for animals was passed onto my siblings and I from the moment we came home as newborns. Whether it was raising puppies/kittens, or behavior training with rescue pets, I've been around home pet care from a very young age. I've absorbed and learned more independently as I came to having pets of my own. I also worked as a Dog Groomer for a short (but busy) time in college. Over the years, I've cared for puppies/kittens, senior pets, and pets of all different behaviors. My wife and I currently have three cats and one dog at our home, so I'm actively involved in everyday pet care. I work full time Monday through Friday from 8am - 4:30pm in Eau Claire, so I'm available on the weekends or for afternoon and weeknight visits. I prioritize your pets' needs by maintaining constant attention. I'm not using the time during the visit to play on my phone. Rest assured that your pet is being watched by an experienced person who will not only keep your precious fur baby safe but will make sure it's an enjoyable visit every time.
About: Caring for pets has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. Animals have always held a special place in my heart. From playful puppies to senior dogs, I make sure they feel at home. I’m currently learning more about grooming, but I’m already confident in nail trimming and bathing. If that’s something you’d like done during your furry friends stay, just let me know! I have weekend availability and some weekday availability where I could be home all day with your furry friend. I can accommodate to a schedule that fits your Pets needs I have room in my home to accommodate a crate if your dog needs one otherwise my house is childproof and dog proof, so you never have to worry about your furry friend getting into something they shouldn’t.
About: I have lots of experience with my own two cats. And I’ve helped with dogs while babysitting kids! I have 7 years of experience in behavioral work with children and lots of those skills can be applied to cats and dogs. I am available weekdays 8am-5pm throughout the summer. Please inquire about weekends. I’d love to take your dog on walks and check in on your cats! I have two indoor only cats. They’re both ginger girls so they’re both very social and loving with their dad and I. They love it when we’re home with them to cuddle, get kisses and treats!
About: I’ve been around dogs and puppies my entire life, and have always loved looking after them! I have some experience with puppies, older dogs, and disabled dogs. I have a lot of free time throughout the week to check up on your awesome furry friends! I’m available most nights and weekends as well! I maintain a safe and secure environment and provide regular exercise and stimulation. I am very flexible and can adjust to the individual needs of your pets!

Emma is the best! We were a little worried about leaving our cat and pup, but after meeting Emma we were put at ease. She was so good with our pets from the very start. Every time Emma stopped by, we got pictures and details of visit. We felt very comfortable knowing our furry friends were in capable and caring hands. When we need help with the pets in the future, we will definitely be reaching out to Emma again!

This was my first time booking through Rover. Rae Ann was amazing! She took such great care of my pets and kept me updated every day with photos and messages about how things were going. It made me feel much better knowing they were in very good hands. My pets looked happy and relaxed when I got home. I would definitely book with Rae Ann again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
