“Kelli was simply excellent! She was so kind to our girls and took excellent care of our home. She understood my nervous nature and sent updates to ease my worrying. Very glad we found her!”

Annika M.

“Teri is an absolutely amazing dog sitter! We love having her watch our dogs and the dogs love her! Wonderful communication and we can't recommend her enough - Thank you Teri!”

“Emily was awesome! She provided great updates throughout our trip and took excellent care of our four pets and our home. It was clear she treated them like they were her own, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. I would highly recommend Emily and would gladly work with her again in the future.”

“Jessica was amazing! She communicated with us every day and sent us pictures/videos of the dogs, which my daughters really enjoyed. She took extra special care of our geriatric dog, making and feeding him human food, per our request. We will definitely be hiring Jessica again! Thank you for taking care of our fur babies! Brandy”

“Blythe always takes such good care of our dog and two cats. They are all calm when we get home (well, as calm as pets are when you return from being away), and her updates each day let us know what’s gone on while also letting us focus on our travels. Can’t recommend her enough.”

About: I am a part time college student. I am going to school to get my ECE Degree. I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 10 by volunteering at humane societies and having my own dogs. I also worked at a doggy daycares throughout Florida and Wisconsin. I love all dogs like they are my children. I would love to own my own rescue center but as of now I want to gain more experience with taking care of different breeds and just express my love of animals to the world. I hope that you choose me to be a temporary parent for your dog and that he or she is in perfect hands and will feel at home. Thank you. Hopefully we speak soon. I work third shift for Target and dog sit during the day. I make sure they are taken out three-four times and feed twice a day. I care for them like they are children. Go on walks, feed, cuddle. Run like crazy and crash from exhaustion. I also love getting to know the dogs personality.

“Cathy was wonderful. She is a great communicator, responded quickly and clearly, and was always sending photos which was much appreciated. She was great with my golden retriever who was quickly drawn to her and well taken care of. Will be seeking to rebook in the near future.”

Joseph S.

“Tanya was the best. She was always on time and had great communication. Provided consistent updates throughout the day and responded timely to any text messages. She put our minds at ease watching our home and two dogs who ultimately loved her. She is clearly good with animals and we would absolutely use Tanya again in the future.”

Justin L.

“My cats love Melissa! They are in great spirits when I come home and well taken care of when I’m away. Thank you Melissa for watching and caring for them!”

Elizabeth M.

“Evita was absolutely amazing with both of our dogs. She took great care of them and even pivoted during unforeseen circumstances to ensure our dogs stayed loved on and safe while we were gone. We will definitely use her again in the future!”

About: CURRENT CLIENTS: If calendar shows us as unavailable during your potential stay, please still reach out. We may still be able to accommodate your pup. As former pet parents, we understand that your pets are an extension of your family. We will care for your pup like we would want our former pups to be cared for while we were away. We love having dogs around but currently don't have one of our own. We also will only sit dogs from one family at a time. Therefore, we are a perfect choice for those pups who like to be the center of attention. We currently work away from the home three days a week. Typically, these days are Tuesday - Thursday, but can be adjusted when we are sitting a pup that is not used to being home alone during the day or for first time clients. About the Home: We live in a single-family home in the Bay View neighborhood. The home has a partially fenced-in yard and is air conditioned with several windows for animals to look out of when not outside. We also have a deck where we spend most days (weather permitting) that has a gate so the dogs can be out there lounging with out. Dogs can roam freely in the house while we are away if that is what they are accustomed to that. Our home is tri-level with many stairs, so it may not be a good fit for dogs that don't do stairs well. Our neighbors also have dogs so if your dog isn't good with seeing dogs through a barrier such as a fence, we may not be a good fit. During your dogs stay, we will work to provide the same rules and training that you enforce in your home, ie walking habits, allowed on furniture, treats, etc. We do not allow dogs on our bed, so if they are accustomed to sleeping in the bed, we are not the best fit for your pup. Before taking on a new client, we will require a meet and greet to ensure both you and we (and your pup) are comfortable. This will also give us a chance to discuss any questions or concerns that either party has, to see the house, and let me know what concerns you have or things we should look out for. We ask that all dog parents be as honest as possible about their pup and how they have previously responded to being in an unfamiliar place or any other info that would be helpful for me to know while they are under my care. The more we know about your dog and their quirks the better we can take care of them. The best sits we've had are ones where the owners provide detailed information on their pup's habits and quirks. One of us currently is at home during the work day. We will work to keep your dog on his typical schedule. We are early risers so morning drop-offs are no problem for us. We treat the pets we care for just like we would if they were our own. We understand that someone's pet is an extension of their family.

“Taylor took care of my son (Zipp) during the winter in Wisconsin. You can tell Taylor loves dogs, he sent me videos playing with Zipp and taking him for walks in the snow. Thank you Taylor! I would book again!!! Zipp was so happy when we got home, on the couch like we never left 💕”

“Nikki did an excellent job caring for our puppy, Moose, and Kitty, our 10yo cat! She stayed in our home, which was great for our pets, because in the past we’ve utilized drop-in sitters, and they did not drop-in as often as they should have. But with Nikki there, they had plenty of attention since she was staying at our house and working from our house. She went above and beyond in making sure that our house was clean when we arrived home. She sent pictures and updates and even watered our vegetable plants while we were away. If you need an in-home pet sitter that will lessen the stress on your pets (and you) while you are away from home, consider Nikki!”

“I am so thankful for Giovanni! I was new to the Rover App and honestly didn’t expect to find someone who would be willing to take care of two nine week old energetic puppies that were not even potty trained. Giovanni agreed to puppy sit in my home for three days! He was extremely patient, gentle, and kind with Cedar and Ivy. From day one I was confident that Gio would care for the puppies the same way I do. He was communicative with me regarding his arrival time and during the day he provided me with an update on the puppies. It was a pleasure getting to know him. My only regret is that I didn’t get a picture of Gio with the puppies! Next time, Gio! 😊”

“Wonderful sitter! Communicative, friendly, and attentive. Took great care of my puppy while I was out of town. Will rebook.”

Shawn M.

“The best! So caring and lots of updates. Thank you so much!”

Alia M.

“Liz was wonderful! Excellent communication. This was my first time using Rover and she made for an amazing first experience. I will definitely use her services again.”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats of all ages and sizes, even dogs that can be leash, collar, and dog aggressive when walking. I am mostly available later in the week and weekends due to being a full time student, but have breaks in between my school days! There is a green area for dogs down the street from me and a quick 15 minute walk towards the lake for more walking paths!

“Sarah is an absolute star - we’re so lucky to have found her on Rover! Our dogs are so happy and comfortable with her, and we know we can rely on her 100%. Consistent photos and updates, and when we get home, the dogs are so chill that it’s like we never left.”
