“Teanna was great! We needed a last minute sitter and she was very flexible with a meet and greet and coming to feed and water our cats. She was also very understanding when I had reception issues when trying to reply to messages. My cats were well cared for, and I would book Teanna again if I ever have the need. Thank you so much! ?”
About: I’ve taken care of family and friends pets for many years. From dogs and cats, to rabbits and hamsters. Whatever your needs are, I’ll make sure you and your pet are looked after. I’m currently working full time with a flexible schedule around the morning, lunch, and later afternoons. If you need a quick check-in or walk for your animal, I can make it work. Providing both walking and just daily visits when needed. I have done crate training and cleaned more litter boxes than I can count. Whatever you need to make sure your pet and home are looked after to pet your mind at ease, I can handle.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have always loved caring for them. I have experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities, and I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and giving them lots of attention. I’m reliable, patient, and will always treat your pets like they’re my own. I also have pets of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for them! I have a pretty flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and pet sitting. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends and am happy to work with you to find times that fit your pet’s normal routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I’ll follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, or house rules. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and care while keeping you updated with pictures and messages so you know they’re safe and happy.
About: Hi, I'm Marissa! I am an experienced dog owner, as I've had my own pup for near 6 years now. I have a strong background caring for dogs of all ages and energy levels. I grew up helping my grandma, who was a Samoyed breeder, so I've been around dogs my entire life and learned early on how to properly care for them. I've had my Aussie since he was 8 weeks, which has made me very comfortable with high-energy breeds and understand how important exercise, attention, and mental stimulation are. Whether your dog needs a quick drop-in, a walk, or just some extra attention during the day, I'll make sure they're not just checked on, but truly cared for and engaged with. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet, even for a short time. I focus on making sure your dog feels safe & comfortable. I am currently offering evening availability on the weekdays starting at 6:30pm Thursday/Friday, and flexible scheduling on Saturday's/Sunday's for drop-ins & walks. I treat every dog like my own and can't wait to meet you and your pup! I am currently working a full-time job, 8am-5pm. I know this creates limited availability, but I am willing to fit in drop-ins and walks after 6:30pm during the weekdays, and will have flexible availability on the weekend. I take my dog on two 30 minutes walks everyday, on top of playing fetch often, & providing training on basics daily. I practice off-leash in areas where it is allowed. I feed morning and evening for my dog, provide lots of cuddles and affection, and make sure play time is priority. That can be through basic training, scent games, DIY puzzles, and running in the park! As for crate training, I did it for a year but have no moved to allowing my dog to snooze next to my bed every night. This set him up for success and created trust between him and I. I focus on trust with my dog 100% of the time, and understand his needs and wants daily. The bond between your pet is so important so I want to make sure I bring that same energy to your pet!
“Great first meeting with Jessica. Booked her for a meet and greet with Rosie. She asked good questions and was attentive during our meet and greet. She will be a great care giver for Rosie while I’m out.”
“I can’t recommend Lenys enough! She took such great care of my floof while I was away, making sure she was well-fed, comfortable, and had plenty of company. I loved receiving daily updates and adorable photos, which really gave me peace of mind. She even went above and beyond by suggesting and installing a new cat fountain to keep my cat hydrated and happy. On top of that, she made sure any packages delivered during my trip were safely brought in and secured. Truly thoughtful, reliable, and caring, she'll get the job done and more! Definitely booking her again!”
About: I currently have no dogs of my own however I have always been surrounded by dogs. Whether that be small or relatively large dogs. I am quite energetic and love spending time with any dog I come across. I got a few pets of my own :) I only work 3 days a week so most of my week I’m surrounded by a bunch of fur babies. I do not live in a house however I have a fairly large neighborhood and many parks around me in which they are dog friendly.
About: I grew up with both cats and dogs, have two spoiled cats of my own, and spend some of my free time volunteering with cats at a local animal shelter. As a pet owner myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, snuggles, or just having a friendly human around, I’ll do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I also provide plenty of updates and photos because I always want a million photos of my cats when I’m away from them! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize visits, walks (for dogs), and drop-ins without rushing. I’m able to plan my day around pet care commitments and make sure each animal gets consistent attention, care, and reliability. As I currently have two cats of my own, feeding, playtime, litter box care, and general check-ins are already part of my daily rhythm. On top of that, I volunteer at an animal shelter, which keeps me regularly engaged with different cats and their needs. I provide care in my client’s home through drop-in visits and/or walks, depending on the pet’s needs. I always follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress free while their owner is away. During visits, I handle feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and any medication needs if instructed. I also make sure each pet gets attention and companionship based on their personality, whether that’s active play or quiet company. I treat every home with respect, keep things clean and tidy, and always prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication with pet parents through updates and photos.
About: I have been petsitting since I was young. I have sat for dogs, cats, and various rodents, but I'm open to watching and learning about any other animals that might come along. I have 3+ years of experience at doggy daycares, and am versed in a number of training techniques. I also have a certificate as a Veterinary Support Assistant, so I know how to help your animal if they become sick or injured during our stay. I am Fear Free certified, and will use my skills to make sure your pet has the most comfortable stay possible. I have experience bathing dogs and cutting their nails. I would love to meet great pets and their people. I strive to care for them and teach them skills so they can have a better life! I will make a positive impact on your and your dog's life if you choose me to be your professional sitter. While pet care is a focus of mine, I have a varied schedule at both my jobs. I currently work nights Wednesday through Sunday, but I am always happy to discuss specific rates for various times and duration requirements. I use Fear Free techniques to ensure that the animals are having the best time possible during my stay. I make sure to give them plenty of exercise and attention and treat them as if they were my own pet.
About: My sister and I grew up playing and helping our older neighbors in the area walk and take care of their dogs. My family has had cats my whole life that I’ve had experience taking care of. In high school I’d house/pet sit friends & family friends’ dogs & cats while they were on vacation, & started rover sitting during college! An actor, bartender, & graduate of UWMilwaukee with an open schedule! Looking to fill that time taking care of, spending time with, and getting to know your pets! I love the outdoors and I can take your dogs on lots of walks based on their needs! I always check if doors are locked before I leave/sleep & make sure to put away anything that pets can get into if they are left to roam. I stay clean so I make sure to clean any mess I or the pets create. I can also crate your pets if needed.
About: I've been around cats and dogs for most of my life and genuinely love spending time with animals. I'm comfortable caring for energetic dogs who need plenty of exercise as well as shy or independent cats who prefer a gentler approach. My goal is always to make pets feel happy, safe, and cared for while giving owners peace of mind. As a graduate student with a flexible schedule, I'm able to offer reliable pet care throughout the week. Most of my classes are online, which allows me to be available during many daytime hours for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I also work part-time, but I carefully manage my schedule to ensure pets receive the attention and care they deserve. In addition, I'm generally available on weekends, making it easier to accommodate your pet care needs. I strive to be dependable, communicative, and flexible so you can feel confident your pets are in good hands while you're away. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide care in your pet's familiar home environment, where they can maintain their normal routine and feel most at ease. Because I have a cat of my own, I do not offer boarding in my home. This allows me to ensure the safety and well-being of both your pets and mine. I am committed to following your pet's care instructions, maintaining a clean and secure environment, and providing dependable communication throughout each visit so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
About: I’ve been taking care of family and friends, cats and dogs, reptiles, birds, you name it! I’ve babysat for multiple days before as well. I’m currently in school for my undergraduate however I’m free Friday to Sunday and can fit in time after 11 AM Tuesdays and Thursdays. I’m not able to keep pets in my home, however, depending on what you need, I can keep them wherever you would like within your own home.
“Nicole was wonderful with house sitting! She was extremely communicative and sent lots of pictures which eased our minds! We knew we left our girls in great hands, she consistently got our calico her pills and the kitties were played with tons. Nicole also left our house in pristine condition. She's the best!”
“Courtney was amazing! Absolutely wonderful with all of our fluffies and you can tell they Super care about them. Many sitters just do the bare minimum but Courtney spent time with them, took care of medicine, played with them, etc… and did not just watch TV all day sitting like we have had others do. If you want someone who takes care to help your fluffies feel comfortable while you are away, we recommend Courtney.”
“We’ve never used rover or left our Rottweiler alone, so we were very nervous at first, but Allison could not have been any better! She updated us every day and took amazing care of Bowser. We highly recommend her and will be rebooking her in the future :)”
About: I've cared for puppies and senior dogs alike. I've been taking care of dogs my entire life and I am familiar with all breeds. From Daschund to German Shepherd I have been with them all. I currently even own a very well trained Dachshund and shes almost 2 I'm available most everyday rain or shine. I am very attentive and capable of taking care of most any dog. I always take the necessary time to care for a dog as they need it and when they need it I don't offer this service, but I am willing to take care of your pets in your home at any time that you may need it.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Bayside
Sofia was absolutely fantastic- during our initial meeting, her first impression was so lovely and kind and the cats were completely drawn to her. She went above and beyond brushing them and cleaning up messes. We will definitely be calling her to care for them again.
This was our first time having Becky check in on our shy cat. Becky came when promised, followed all of my (overly obsessive) directions to a "T", and managed to cajole Sophie into coming out and interacting with her. Sophie and our home were in great hands, and we would definitely use Becky again.
