About: I absolutely love dogs and have a Yorkie myself that I've raised since 6 weeks. She is very friendly and has been spaded and vaccinated; she would love some company from time to time!! Dogs love that I am an active and playful person. I enjoy going on walks and the doggy park. Also, all dogs love a TREAT so they will play games and receive yummy treats!! I'm very passionate about dogs and that they to be treated with integrity and love. I really hate to see any type of animal undergo abuse and mistreatment when they did not ask to be here. I would see that your dog is well taken care of in my care. They'll love my doggy talk and playful nature for sure!!
“Emma took care of our cats again and was great! She gave updates each visit and even stayed late one night to make sure one of our kitties was okay. She keeps everything tidy and is always easy to reach. She will continue to be our go-to cat sitter!”
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give. As a pet owner of two cats and a dog, I’m experienced with different personalities and needs. I also take time to work on basic training and positive behaviors while I’m with your dog, so it’s more than just a visit; it’s enriching time for them. I work 32 hours a week as a Medical Laboratory Scientist, which allows me to have a flexible schedule. I work every third weekend, but outside of that I’m available during weekdays and most weekends. I make it a priority to plan my schedule so I can be fully present and dependable for the pets in my care. I care for pets in their home by maintaining their normal routine and environment, which helps reduce stress. I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding, medication, and any special needs. I spend quality time with each pet. Whether that’s play, companionship, or quiet time. I also keep things tidy, like cleaning litter boxes, and always ensure your home is respected and secure. I’m happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and caring for them has always been a huge part of who I am. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of sharing my home with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, a rabbit, birds, and even reptiles—so I’m comfortable with a wide variety of pet personalities and needs. My fiancé and I currently have five cats, and they keep life fun, active, and full of love. I have a deep compassion for animals of all kinds and all ages, from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I’ve also taken in several strays over the years, helping reunite them with their owners or finding them safe, loving homes. That experience has made me especially attentive, responsible, and intuitive when it comes to animal care. I truly value time outdoors and believe regular walks and activity are key to a happy, healthy pet. Whether it’s playtime, exercise, or just keeping your pet company, I’ll treat them like one of my own—with love, attention, and respect. I work part time as a massage therapist this leaves lots of times available for in home pet care. My schedule can be open more then what days/times I have on my profile. Currently I'd be coming to your home to care for or walk your pet. If needed I could possibly board. I do have 5 cats, they sleep most of the day.
“Ariel is an upbeat person and my three dogs really loved her during the meet and greet. On the day of her visit, she arrived on time, left me a nice series of pictures and the dogs didn't have problems when she entered the house or took them out. I will definitely book her again.”
“Tegra is super sweet and I immediately felt comfortable into our home and trusting her with our little rascal Kitty cat. Assuming she accepts I'll happily use her services again!”
About: started working at a grooming salon, then spent years overnight pet sitting while attending nursing school. I now have a reactive dog of my own, so I understand that every dog has different needs, boundaries, and personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and want both pets and their owners to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. 🐾❤️ I am a nurse so my schedule is different every week :) but don’t hesitant to reach out and ask and hopefully we are able to make something work! When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow their owner’s instructions closely, provide plenty of attention and reassurance, and make sure they have a safe, calm environment. I respect each pet’s individual personality, boundaries, and needs while keeping owners updated so they can feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for. 🐾❤️
“Emily is a great sitter for my dog Scout! We've been working together for about a year, and she's able to handle senior/disabled dog issues, including lifting/carrying paralyzed dog & dealing with potty issues that occur when Scout is alone.”
About: Hi! have two dogs at home that I call my brothers and love them to death. My dad won't let them live with me right now so I always go home to visit and play with them. I have worked at a doggy daycare for over a year, so I do have professional experience with every type of dog. I promise I will show your dog all the love it deserves. I am currently going to school at University of Wisconsin Milwaukee and studying Biology and Zoology. After I finish school I want to transfer to University of Wisconsin-Madsion and receive my Prevet Degree. I want to help animals and care for them in my future in any way I can. I will watch over your dog like their my dog and treat them in the best possible way.
“This chick is phenomenal! She has a great personality and is very engaged with animals. My German shepherd loves her and even gets to play in the water with her. Her communication skills are stellar. I received live updates and photos while at work. If you want someone reliable and dedicated to your fur babies, she is it. I HIGHLY recommend her! <3”
About: I’ve been a pet sitter since I was a kid and i’ve loved every second of it. I know that each animal is different and i’m prepared to give your pet the care it deserves. I’m working part time with a flexible schedule but I am mostly unavailable in the mornings. I will be more available in the late afternoon and night. I have been around dogs my whole life so I am experienced in the needs of dogs in their homes. I always prioritize the pets safety according to their owners instructions.
About: I have 10+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs & cats of all ages and personalities. I have also worked in pet care roles and fostered animals, including those who are shy, anxious or have special needs. I am patient, gentle and attentive and I take the time to understand each pet's unique needs and routine. Pet care fits naturally into my routine! I work Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM–4:00 PM in an office, so I plan my schedule around providing reliable, attentive care for the pets I look after. I’m available for pet care outside of my work hours, including early mornings, evenings, and weekends. I understand how important consistency and communication are, and I always do my best to accommodate each pet’s needs and maintain their routine. My goal is to make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away! In my home, pets are cared for in a calm, clean, and comfortable environment. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and rest. I provide plenty of attention, enrichment, and safe, supervised time, and I’m mindful of giving pets their own space when needed—especially those who are shy or adjusting. In your home, I focus on maintaining consistency and following your instructions closely, including feeding, medication, walks, litter care, crate routines, and playtime. I treat your home with respect, keep things tidy, and provide regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal in any setting is to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
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!
About: I’ve grown up caring for cats and dogs and have always enjoyed spending time with animals. I have an active dog of my own who loves going on long walks, so I’m very comfortable keeping energetic dogs active and entertained. As a high-level athlete, I’m active myself and genuinely enjoy being outdoors, whether that’s walking, playing, or simply spending time with a pet. I’ve also helped neighbors care for their animals while they were away. Right now I’m training in Milwaukee and have practice at 3:30 so I can take care of your pet during the day but also after practice if needed. Would be preferred if I did at the clients house but I live in a apartment right now they have a dog park and sorts.
About: Ive had dogs all my life, my family always had a couple dogs no matter what happens. I come from a big family who loves a lot of house and companionship. And dogs make the best companions. I will take extra good care of you loved one and I will make sure you are in great hands when I take care of them! I have school Monday through thursday but I have time in between classes to run home and walk them if need be. I work the weekends 3pm to 11pm Friday and satruday, then Sunday 7am to 3pm I will take great care to make sure they are comfy and have everything they need. I will play with them as much as they want and I will ensure that they're safe

If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Colgate choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
