“Great first time with Maiya. Our cat Felix seemed to really like her. Great communicator and sends great daily pictures. Definitely recommend and will use her again for drop-ins next time we travel.”

“This was my first time using Rover again after taking a break. Ann made this experience absolutely exceptional and took such great care of our pup. I’m so grateful to now have an amazing & reliable sitter in Madison! Thank you Ann!”
“Chenghao was absolutely amazing with my two boys while I went on vacation and kept me up to date on how they were doing. One of my boys typically does not like new people and he warmed up nearly instantly. Would absolutely love to work with chenghao again!”
“Lydia was great. Her communication with us while we were out of town was awesome. She was able to provide insulin injections without any problem. We would highly recommend her.”
“Went with Sabrina again! She does such a great job with my picky, old toy poodle lol. Chewy takes a while to warm up to people so I'm glad he is in good hands with Sabrina. Was a no-brainer going with her and I recommend her!”
“Yvonne’s a great pet sitter. She is super responsive and goes the extra mile with my cat. My cat has asthma and required a daily inhaler dose. Yvonne was kind and patient to provide my cat with her daily inhaler. When my auto feeder failed, she stayed back to help to reset it so my cat didn’t starve. She also provided me with daily update. When I came home, my cat was happy and well cared for. I highly recommend her because she truly cares about pets! I would totally rebook her.”
“My dogs really like Allegra and she seems to be great with them too. She was great during our meet and greet and spent time to get to know the pups. Will hire again for sure!”
“She did such a good job with my cats. I had one who recently had teeth pulled, so both of my cats were getting fed largely different diets. She was able to manage them both. Also my very shy cat was even comfortable coming out to see her every day. Highly recommend”
About: Hi, I’m Kaitlyn and I’ve lived with dogs for almost 20 years! I’ve helped family, neighbors and friends with pets of all ages, sizes and personalities. My experience has provided insight into how to comfortably care for most pets! I’m currently working at a dental clinic in the Madison area from Monday - Thursday. While work days can be busy, I can be readily available for drop-ins and walks over the lunch hour if needed. There is a large open field behind my apartment that is used by many dog owners to let their fur babies have some freedom throughout the day
“Thank you again to Sarah for a wonderful sitter experience! Was sad to leave my cat at home during the holidays, but was happy to have Sarah keep her company and give her lots of love :)”
“Annie was great, super flexible, and helped us out when we needed to make a last minute change! The cats are healthy, happy, and seem well-played with ☺️”
“Katia was very communicative and prompt. I haven't been on a vacation in years, and even though it was only for a night, she put my mind at ease by dropping in on my cats and tortoise!”
“Hannah was awesome with our 11 yo rescue dog, very caring and spent quality time with her. Hannah is very responsible, showed up promptly, and Luna was very happy with her visit (we were too)!”
About: Since I was 10, I’ve lived with and cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, lizards, and even a mouse or two! I know how important it can be to adapt to individual pets’ unique personalities, and I try to spend a little extra time with new pets to build trust. I’m a first year medical student at UW, so I have a flexible schedule during business hours on weekdays and am free most evenings and weekends! For dog walking, I have experience with all sizes and energy levels of dogs. For pet sitting, I am very thorough with instructions to ensure your pet is happy and secure in your home. And I’m always happy to provide pictures while you’re away!
About: I have had dogs my entire life. They ranged from puppies all the way to them becoming senior dogs, and they all came from very different backgrounds. I am especially good with senior dogs. My childhood dog eventually had severe arthritis and needed medication and some extra help. I would do anything for her that helped her feel more comfortable! I also puppysit for some family members so I am also used to the craziness a puppy can bring! I am currently available most days at any time until August 11. My cat does need medication at 8pm, but any other time of the day works for me! I can care for your pets however you need in your home! Whether it's going on a walk, playing outside, or staying inside, whatever is best for them is doable!

Appalachian Ridge pet parents share their Rover experiences
Ann continues to be a top choice for me when it comes to finding a sitter for my 13 year old cat who has several medical needs. She has always left my home better than she found it, going as far as washing dishes in the sink that I left behind. She provides the most through, heartwarming updates, and is extremely punctual and reliable. As someone who feels immense guilt leaving my pet(s) behind, I feel much more at ease knowing Ann will take excellent care of him. Thank you so much, Ann!
Dietrich has been a wonderful caretaker for my dog Coco. For the last year and a half he would visit her at lunch during the week and feed her plus take her on a nice little walk. His daily reports and funny stories made me smile while I was at work! He would let me know if he had a schedule conflict well in advance. I appreciate that Coco and I could work with him!
Cloey was such a great sitter for my cat, Gloria! She sent me so many pictures of her each day, and gave me a thorough description of all the fun things they got up to while she was there! I will definitely be reaching out to Cloey again when Gloria needs a sitter!
