“McKenna was absolutely wonderful with our cat, Moo! She was so sweet and attentive, and we could tell Moo really enjoyed her visits. We loved the photo updates—such a great touch that made us feel connected while we were away. McKenna even went above and beyond by watering the flowers my son got me, which was so thoughtful and appreciated. We’d happily book with her again—thank you, McKenna!”


“This was my first River experience and Camille made it an excellent one! I needed late night help over the weekend at the last second and Camille was quick to respond. I truly appreciated her taking time out of her weekend nights to come meet and care for our dog! I appreciated that she sent pictures and gave me updates on how the visits went (although I’m sure that’s part of the Rover process). We will definitely be using her down the road!”


“Courtney did a great job of keeping our fur babies company and set our minds at ease during our trip to Italy. We looked forward to the pictures and notes every day. We look forward to using her services again when we are away camping this summer. We highly recommend Courtney!!!!!”


About: I grew up on a farm with working dogs and lived in the city where dogs must be on a leash, so walking them in all sorts of weather in various conditions is part of my daily routine. But now that my husband is retired, our dog gets his walks, but I don't always get mine! I would love to help you and walk and care for your dog when you need help. My energetic and resource-guarding dog has taught me a lot about dog behavior and how to use positive enforcement through training, playing and enrichment activities. I look forward to working with you and getting to know your special pup. I'm currently not working, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets. Other than the occasional road trip to visit family, I have a pretty flexible schedule and am able to work just about anytime, including nights and weekends. I have cared for pets who are crated as well as non-crated; walked dogs on leash and with dogs who are trained on shock collars (in safe areas, obviously). I have trained puppies as well as tended to senior dogs' special needs. I am committed to ensuring you are confident that your furry friend(s) are in good hands and getting the attention they deserve.

About: Hey everyone I’m Emma! I grew up on a farm and have worked with so many different animals species. I love working with dogs and can do lots of different training exercises with your dogs. I have worked with both large and small dogs, and dogs of all ages. I used to foster dogs, and train them up for their forever homes! I am currently a college student taking courses T and THUR from 8-3. I work on my family farm currently from 8am-4pm M,W,F. But am able to stop by around noon during my lunch break if your pet requires an extra let out and I work about 2 minutes away from my house as well. I live out on a farm, so there is a large yard for you pets to run around. I have a kennel for smaller dogs and a puppy play pen already from fostering as well as basic food dishes, toys, treats, etc.

About: Ever since I was a kid, my love for animals has been unstoppable! Over the years, my passion has only grown stronger, and I've been fortunate to care for both cats and dogs for a long time. Right now, I share my home with three amazing cats and three playful dogs, each with their own personality and quirks. On top of that, I love helping out my friends and neighbors by taking care of their furry companions when they’re away. Whether it's feeding, walking, or just giving them some love, I truly enjoy every moment spent with animals. Living in Columbus, working in Verona, WI, and everywhere in between, I’m always ready to provide the best care for any pet that comes my! I'm working full-time from 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM, Monday to Friday, but before and after that, I'm free as a bird! With a 40-minute drive to and from work, I’m always on the move and happy to help out in Madison and surrounding communities too! I have a fenced-in yard and share my home with three dogs and three cats. If needed, I am available to stay at your home to provide dedicated care for your pets. My top priority is ensuring your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well-cared for, and I approach every interaction with patience, kindness and love.

“I was very happy to find Donna when our other sitters were unable to help us with our three dogs Fourth of July weekend. We had plans to take our girls up north for a quick fishing trip and time at our cabin. Donna was very attentive when meeting the animals for the first time and I didn't have any worries when we left. She was prompt with check-ins, with pictures, and we were able to focus on making sure the little ones had a great time without being anxious about what was going on at home. We will definitely use Donna again when the need arises! Thank you!!”


About: With 8 years of personal experience caring for my own dog, I bring dedication and love to every pet I look after. Although I don’t have much experience I ensure they receive daily walks, balanced meals, and lots of affection. I have the flexibility to devote ample time to walks, playtime, and ensuring my dog gets the best care possible. I am currently only doing this as a summer job before I go back to college! This not only keeps dogs happy and healthy but also gives me a sense of purpose and joy spending time with them! I have 8 years of personal experience caring for my own dog, ensuring they receive the best care possible. My flexible schedule allows me to dedicate the time and attention needed to keep dogs happy and healthy. Additionally, my current summer job is focused solely on pet care, which means I am fully committed to providing top-notch service. I understand the importance of trust when it comes to caring for a beloved pet, and I am dedicated to treating your dog with the same love and attention I give to my own.

“Thanks for taking care of Boots while we were on a long trip. It was very comforting to see a picture of him each day. Will definitely ask you to watch him again for our next trip.”


“Jackie was awesome. She definitely took care of the worry of leaving our pets and she made sure to let me know they were all still doing ok especially during a stormy rainy period when we were gone. Thank you !!!”


About: I love all animals - from fluffy tails to scaly scales! I have been working as a veterinary assistant for the past 4 years, mostly in emergency clinics. Working at an ER vet has given me the chance to see pets at their worst and at their best, so I'm prepared to handle whatever they throw at me! Before that, I pet sat for many friends and neighbors. Over the years, I've had the opportunity to care for pets of all age ranges and abilities, please let me care for yours too! I also can offer exotic animal check-ins (primarily fish and reptiles, no birds please!) and minor grooming add-ons (nail trims, ear cleaning, anal gland expression, etc), just message me directly! I'm currently working part time, so I have a very felixble schedule that I'd love to fill! I'm available for part of the day nearly everyday, so let's talk about times! Being the fur mom to two very energetic boys (1 dog and 1 cat), I understand that pets will always find a way to get into trouble or hurt themselves, especially when their owners aren't around. So I always do my best to keep your fur baby calm, well exercised, and safe while I'm watching them.

About: I will treat your animals with compassionate care. I believe animals are a part of our families and will treat them like so. I have been around dogs my whole life and understand their behaviors and know how to communicate with them. Currently, I work at a school and will have the summer off. I am looking for something that can be flexible and can work around mine and my kids schedule. I will listen to whatever care your pets need and follow instructions. I understand basic dog behaviors and how to communicate with them. My dogs in our household are just like family members and are treated with much love and I will treat your pets the same way.

About: Hi there! My name is Nikki. Thank you so much for taking time to read my bio! I have 20 years of experience working with furry creatures both personally and professionally combined. I have previous veterinary technician experience, and have been trained in canine and feline handling and care. I am able to accommodate special needs cases. Walks, potty breaks, play time, snack time, belly rubs & picture updates are provided. I am able to teach and work on basic commands and trick training. I have two golden retrievers of my own, Jordy & Reggie- who love all! I love all animals and have grown up with pets my entire life. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! Daily walks and playing outside in the nicer weather is a MUST for our pets. We love spending time outside enjoying the sunshine, and a lot of playtime! I have 2 privacy fences in my backyard blocking the roads in my neighborhood. My dogs stay in the backyard with no concerns. If your pet does not have recall skills, they may need to be leashed to have potty breaks outside.

About: I’ve had cats and dogs since I was four years old. Our family cares for our dogs deeply, meaning they get lots of walks and lots of love! My family and I recently just lost our fifteen year old dog Lucky due to old age, and that was hard for me. Through Lucky’s last years we gave him insulin twice a day, meaning I am very experienced in giving medicine to dogs. Im currently in school, so I usually walk my dog when I get home from school, and feed him dinner. On the weekends we take him for lots of hikes. School gets out in June, and I will be completely available after that, but currently I could only help on weekends and after 4pm on weekdays. I have a fenced yard with a five year old medium sized dog named Ferris, who just lost our older dog Lucky, and is missing his best friend, meaning he would love a playmate! Ferris gets lots of walks (three) everyday, and we feed him twice a day. We also have a crate if needed. We have multiple dog beds and food and water bowls for extra company!

Tonia M.
“Tonia, a highly skilled and reliable pet sitter who is passionate about life, the outdoors, and animals, watched our Golden Retriever, Zoey, for a week as a puppy. Tonia took great care of Zoey and even taught her a few tricks such as sitting, rolling over, and offering her paws for a shake. It was amazing to see Zoey learn these new skills during her week with Tonia. We were so impressed with Tonia's care that we had her watch Zoey again for two weeks when my husband and I traveled overseas. Tonia has also walked Zoey numerous times, and she has imprinted on her. Even to this day, when Zoey sees Tonia, she whimpers and gets extremely excited. We are so grateful to have Tonia in Zoey's and our lives.”
